The SUBSTITUTION OF
BRANDY FOR ALCOHOL,
the use of the True Jamai-
ca Ginger, of their own
selection and importation,
its combination with
choice aromatics, as de-
vised and originated by
DR.. Sanford, placed this
preparation in actual
merit so far ahead of any,
thing before compounded
that Notwithstanding the
most bitter opposi ton
from the trade, its sales
in New England now ex-
coed that of all others
combined, The second
year of it's manufacture
its sale exceeded the prev
ious year by over fifty fve
thousand bottles. 1t is
manufactured on a scale
simply enormous. Two
thousand gallons are al
ways kept made long in
advance of cOnsumpli0n.
by which it acquires a del
icious flavor and Dr. lillian
transparency. Eve.ly i'm
proyement in labor Saving
apparatus is adopted, so as
to permit the use of costly
materials and yet retain a
profit. The b0ttling ma
chine is alone able to ill
tacothouSand four hundred
bottlesper hour. Fom this
brief statement it will be
seen that Messrs. WEEKS
81 POTTER have entered
upon the manufacture of
Sanford's Jamaica Ginger
lin a manner that must in
time secure for them tn
enormous trade in this are
Iticle. Its elegant flavor,
great merit, and low price
should be tested once by
those in need OF a family
medicine before allowing
themselves to'be induced,
by Misrepresentation, to
buy others. Insist upon
having what you call for

SoIE further investigation is being
had into the real estate pool of Wash
ington, and one witness, II. S. Slater,
clerk Of Tilbert & Taylor, contractors,
testified that congressman Eldridge
was paid 81, 5C0in 1872, while member
of the District Committe and that D.
G. Forney, Hallet Kilbourn, and other
newspaper men received various sums.
Subsequently, the witness testified that
Taylor was under the impression that
none of these sums were ever really paid
the parties named. This is in accor-
dance with statementmadeb by Eldridge,
months ago, to the effect that, whatever
was charged, lie never really received
any money from the pool.

WELDON, the man who attempted to

Recorder. He was remanded to Jail.
He says that while coming to New Or
leans he conceived the idea Of killing
Packard, thinking it would be pop

letters which were taken from his per-
son. He remembered about them.
Among the letters were a number from a

He is not very clear in his mind yet, and

He acts much like man who has been
under the influence OF strong drugs. He
said to policeman, who was in hisroom
on Friday morning, that he was sorry
for what he had done, and he had been

fore be came to the State House. \
dispatch from Philadelphia states that
Weldon, the young man who made the
attempt on Gov. Packard's life in New
Orleans, is the son of Rev. c. r Wei

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-02-22

THE Presidential count is progressing
slowly but surely, and day by day the
prospect for theRepublicans have bright
ened until now there can be no reasona-
BILE doubt as to the result. In fact, the
Democratic leaders see there is no hope
for them and are loud in their denuncia
tons of the '.partizan spirit shown by
the Republicans of the Commission in
refusing to go behind the returns i'll the
Louisiana case. That State has been re-
turned for Hayes, as has also Michigan.
When Nevada was reached objection
was made to one of the electors, and the
House took recess to consider the sub
isect. That State was probably counted
for Hayes yesterday, after which no In
terruption occurred until the Oregon
snag was struck and referred to the Tri-
bunal. When the three votes of Oregon
are passed and counted for Hayes, then
the Republican hallelujahs can be raised
throughout the land. The evidence of
Tilden's corrupt intrigues in Oregon
viii certainly not prejudice tile judges
in favor Of his case.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-02-22

GROVER denies having sent the COB
BILE dispatch or any other to Tilden; and
Senator Kelley says that he approved
of the cipher dispatch from Patrick
about purchasing Republican elect
or, upon the assurance OF Patrick that
it related only to money for legal ex-
penses. 1t Is now in order for Patrick
who sent the dispatch and Pelton who
received it to speak out. Perhaps they
did not know anything about it; and
perhaps Tilden, the patron of these two
men, did not know what was going on.
Wonderful innocence all at once The
circumstances in which these men find
themselves are such as some immoral
philosophers declare warrant people in
lying. And as the ''reform" which they
represent IS of a very peculiar kind, it
would not be strange if their words
were also.
The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1877-02-22

HE sentiments expressed by Repub-
hcan journals in the hour OF an almost
assured triumph ara significant. With
out ar exception they demand of Gov
Hayes an honest, economical and reform
administration. This desire is well pre-
scented in the following remarks from the
Boston Journal "There is no doubt
whatever, should President Hayes be
inaugurated, that he Will seek to make a
new departure. and his great strength
Will lie in the fact that be will be entire
ly independent of managing politicians.
With the election of Mr.. Hayes we be-
heve that we shall see civil service re-
form practically inaugurated without
any fuss or nonsense"

AT the telegraphers' reception in Chi
cago on Feb. u, the dancers waltzed to
music played in Milwaukee, IS miles
away. 4 waltz and several marches were
transmitted by means of the wonderful
telephone, the wires playing as distinctly
and perfectly as human hands. The
telephone or vocal telegraph is flexible
disk, two feet or more in diameter and
very thin, connected with powerful
magnet and communicating by means of
wires with similar disk and magnet at
the other end of the line. This sensi-
tive disk receives and communicates the
acoustic vibrations. The cheapness and
simplicity of the instrument adapt il for
use at spiritualistic seaaces, where it will
be a decided improvement upon the ac
eordions and banjos now employed. The
music of the spheres viii then be of

THE claims of Mr. Tilden to the Pres
idency have had no more persistent adj
vocate than the Philadelphia Times, and
this support was all the more valuable
as it came from an Independent paper.
But the Oregon iufamy is too offensive
a dose for that journal to stomach, and
it calls upon Mr.. TIlden to make known
all the facts ID the case, or to stand con-
yicted of corruption. 1t says: 1.-The
Oregon dickering to secure break IN
the Hayes electors there grows more
and more unsightly and offensive as
the investigation gets down to the bot
tom facts Assuming that the dispatches
published during the last few days have
been correctly deciphered, they show
conclusively that money WAS wanted to
corrupt the Oregon electoral college by
the purchase of one Republican elector
to act with Cronin, and the difference
between Oregon and Louisiana is, that
attempted debauchery failed in Oregon
and was successful in Louisiana. Clear
ly Senator Kelly and Col. Pelton Will
want to be heard from again, to let the
nation know whether Mr.. Tilden was
either directly or indirectly a party to
the corrupt negotiation. We judge al
men OF all parties alike on such issues.
| and We look for Mr.. Tilden's prompt ano
emphatic vindication in the matter, IN
| less it is to be confessed that such vim
| dication is impossible.
