Carl Schurz characterized Tllden as
semi-paralyzed old man, likely TO die be-
fore the end of his term, and leave the
Presidency to Hendricks. The Cincinnati
Enquirer says that Tilden is not paralyzed,
but that he has a wthered arm, powerless
and useless, and that while not blind, he
squints so badly with one eye that he can
hardly see out of it. To this portrait the
Chicago Tribune adds the following touch
es: "Tilden is slightly built, little frail
old man. He weighs scarcely 100 pounds,
and Is grabbed, sour, and petulsnt; speaks
with nasal twang; is childless and nm
married. He is now 60 years old, and tot
tering towards his end"

Physicians, who certainly ought to be the best
judges of such matters, declare that wholesome slim
ulaton is not only desirable, but essential in many
instances. When the temporary good effect Of
sound stimulant Is confirmed and rendered perma-
nent in the Of Hostetters Stomach Bitters by
the action Of tonic and Alternative principles combined
with it, 1t becomes Infinitely more efhcacious as u
renovant of physical energy and corrective Of those
conditions OF the body which invite disease. The
Biters have received the emphatic sanction Of modi
cal who have observed the effect OF that popular
stmulative cordial remedy for weakness, ner-
vOusness, dyspepsia constipation, inactivity Of the
liver malarious fevers, and many other disorders.
Its basis is sound old rye, the purest liquor known to
commerce, and itself possessing tonic properties Of
no mean order.

Gentlemen,-I have suffered ten years from the
worst forms Of Acute Catarrh, Cold in the Head
that ever afflicted mortal man. Whenever / took
fresh cold 1t would settle in my head, causing the
most violent sneeIing, accompanied with excessive
discharges from my eyes and nose. For days and
days my suffering would be intense and finally set
ting in my loins and bowels, would render my life
miserable for month. Never, during ell my suffer-
Ing was able TO obtain even temporary relief from
any medicine ever tried. Three weeks ago, while
suffering from the worst attack had, procured
bottle of Sanford's Radical Cure for Catarrh The
relief from the first dose was gratifying that
would willingly have given One Hundred Dollars TO
obtain it. few doses completely cured me. My head
has since been perfectly free from mucous accumua-
tions, my breathing easy, and not symptom Of trou
BILE about my back and bowels has presented itself.
Its effect in my case has been tIuly remarkable.

Caution Against limitations.

The proprietors of Benson's Capcine Porous

public against bogus articles that are offered
them, under the name of "Capsicin" or "Cap-
sicum," as being the same as "Capcine;;" the
facts are that they are totally unlike the
limitations are calculated to injure the excel
lent remedial qualities of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters. The unparalleled success of
this famous and vigorous medicinal combina-
ton has stimulated interruptions individuals
to issue articles under the above similar sound
ing words. To further protect the consumer,
we have cut the word "Capcine" in each
plaster. Their powerful vegetable properties
afford instant relief, and insure quicker cure
than any known medicine. They contain no
metallic or mineral poisons, and are superior
in their effects to electricity, and more GER

DEM. JACK. Ass. WEEKLY MEETING.
A Damper from Maine-Dr. Horner's Prescri
tim fnr Ynra cinnr narnnn-atn


tion for Voracious Democrats.
"The news from Maine" fell like wet blan-
ket on the members of the Democratic Jack
son Association, and more than half the num-
Der who were present at the preceding meeting
failed to put in an appearance last night. At
s O'Clock President Norris took the chair, with
Mr.. W. P. Bell as secretary pro tem.
The committee on applications for member
ship reported favorably on the names of the
gentlemen nominated at the last meeting, and
they were elected.
Thomas F. J. Rider was proposed for mem-
bership.
Mr.. Robert Ball, in behalf of the artist, W.
W. Marshall, of New York, presented to the
association two very fine steel engraved Dor
traits of Tilden and Hendricks. President
Norris received the pictures, and made quite
speech on the political issues Of the day.
Mr.. b. I. Swartz, an ex-president of the as
sociation, was introduced, and addressed those
present at length, His was the same old cry
change of Administration-the hungry cry
for office. He advised his hearers to econo-
mize and abstain from that good old Demo-
cratic s;imulsnt (Bourbon) until Tilden and
Hendricks were elected.
Mr.. Swartz was followed by Mr.. W. P. Bell,
who addressed the association on the result In
Maine, claiming that the Democrats, accord
ing to the tables published in the Star, had
made gain of three per cent. Referring to
Attorney General Taft's letter, Mr.. Bell gave
It as his legal opinion that the issue of the
document was not sanctioned by law.
Judge Moore and others addressed the meet
ing. Col. Burroughs, of Indiana, also addressed
the association. In the course of his remarks
he urged the Dem. Jacks not to be disheart-
ened by the results of the Verment and Maine
elections, and predicted they would carry
Ohio and Indiana in October.
DR.. Horner (of Horner's mixture) moved
that a committee be appointed to wait upon
and demand of the clerk of the House of Rep
resentatiYes the removal Of all clerks in his
employ who contributed money to the Repub-
Hcans TO carry on the campaign in the State of
Maine, but without taking action on the Doc
tors motion the association adjourned.

The Monument Commission.

The joint commission for the construction of

O'Clock in the office of the Washington Monu-
ment Society. Present: Mr.. W. W. Corcoran,
first vice president of the Monument Society;
Mr.. Edward Clark, architect of the Capitol;
Mr.. James G. Hill, supervising architect of the

letter from Gen. Humphreys, expressing regret
that the business of his Office at this time
would prevent him from being present at the
meeting for the organization of the commis-
sion: Mr.. Corcoran was elected president and
Mr.. Hill secretary.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
Secretary of War to detail board Of engineer
officers to examine the foundation OF the
monument and report.
The commission then adjourned to meet at
the call of President Corcoran.
