Proposing to Undo Negro Suf-
frage.

Mobile Register.
The most interesting portion OF
Blaine s platform is that which
leplo,es the fact that negro suf-
frage has resulted in nothing ex-
cept to give Congress to the demo-
Gratis, to give thirty-five votes
against the Republican party, and
to place the government prac-
tically in the hands Of the late
Copfederates. Thus it says:
"Thirty-fiye representatives in
Congress and thirty-five electoral
votes apportioped to the Southern
States by reason OF their colored
population, are thus invested to
the sole ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of Com
federate power in the national
government, and late rebel SOL
dlers IN Georgia, south Cal0llna,
Mississippi and Louisiana are thus
enabled to exert in the admins
i,atiop Of the government more
than double the political power Of
Union soldiers in any Of the
Northern States"
As we did mol ask Mr.. Blaine TO
bring about this state of affairs,
it is certainly unfair for him to
charge it against the democratic
party. What Is be going to do
about il? Will be advocate 90

opinion there does not now exist IN

CaStOria.

It is mistake to suppose that Castoria is not
adapted to grown persons well as children. They
only need to increase the quantity. But children
have so many complaints for which Castoria is
adapted-like WIND collie, sour stomach, worms,
letter, Teething and Group, that it is especially
recommended TO them.
Its effects are more certain than CASTOR OIL. 1t
contains no alcohol and is as pleasant to take as
honey. 1t never gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels the Castora cools tho blood, expels
worms and prevent feverishness, quiets the nerves
and produces health-then Of course the children
can sleep in quiet and MOTHERS can REST.
Castoria is recommended by all physicians and
nurses who have tried it, and it is having rapidly
increasing sale. 1t is prepared with great care after
the receipt of DR.. Samuel Pitcher, of Mass, at the
Laboratory of J. B. Rose & Co., 10 Dey Street. New
