Cent? men, hereby certify that have had Ca

been Il terrible sufferer. | was rendered partially
deaf, had bnzLng in the head pains across the
temple, dizzy spells, weak and painful eyes, swol

severe pain across the chest, and every indication
of consumption. My head ached all the time. The
matter accumulated SO rapidly in my head and
throat that could not keep them free. Frequently
at night would spring out of bed 1t seemed to me
at the point of suffocation. 1 would then have
course to every means in my power TO dlslodge the
mucus from my throat and head before being able
10 sleep again. For period OF six years my ton
could with difficulty swallow. finally consulted
eminent surgeon in regard to an operation on
them but at his request postponed IL. The con.
caused by the poisonous mater dropping down
from my head had SO irri .ated and infamed my
lungs thai l couxhed incessantly,-a deep, hard
cough. Meanwhile my system began to show the
effects OF this disease, so that lost nesh, grew pale
and showed every symptom OF an early death by
consumption. When matters had reached this
stage, or about six months ago, began the use of
Sanfords Radical Cure for Catarrh. After usiag
the first bottle began TO improve rapidly. The
first dose seemed to clear my head as had not
known it TO be for years. 1t seemed gradually TO
arrest the discharges. 1t stopped my cough in
three days. BY using 1t as gargle soon reuuced
the iu Il animation and swelling of my ,onsils, so
that they soon ceased to trouble me. The soreness
across my chest disappeared, the buzzng noises
in my head ceased, my senses of Nearing and OF

MIR. Blaine Nominated for Senator.

Eighteen years have rolled away
eventful years in the history of the nation
since James G. Blaine first took his seat
as member of the Maine House OF Rep
resentatives. Sixteen years ago this week
he was elected Speaker. Four years in
succession he represented this city in the
legislature, serving the last two years as
Speaker. This was the beginning of Mr..
Blalne's political career-a career
equaled in brilliancy by that of few of the
distinguished public men of this country.
Last evening, in caucus assembled, the
republican representatives at the State
House, with entire unanimity, and by ac-
clamation, nominated Mr.. Blaine as can
didate for United States Senator to fill out
the remainder of the term for which Mr..
Morrill, was elected, and for new term
of six years TO begin on the 4th OF March
next. If in the political annals of the
State of Maine there is another instance
United States Senator has been nominated
with like unanimity, and with such COM
plete confidence that it was the right thing
to do, when the nomination was equiva
lent to an election, we have no knowledge
of it. Those who have made it their bus
mess in other States to defame Mr. Blaine
and to predict his defeat as a candidate
for the Senate. will not probably cease to
pursue and sander him though they wit
ness the magnificent manner in which he
is supported in his own State, and yet ii
would seem that none but fools or men
rendered insane by passion or prejudice
could fail to bow to the impressive power
and majesty of the tribute to Mr.. Blaine
contained In the action of the caucus last
night.
Mr.. Blaine now stands by expressed
popular wish upon the threshold of the
Senate of the United States. One week
from next Tuesday he will be elected by
the free choice of the representatives of
the republican party of Maine. 1t will be
a fair, honest expression ofthe popular SEN
timent of the State of Maine in regard to
Mr.. Blaine and we claim that the repub-
licans of Maine are as honest and intell-
gent in selecting those who shall repre-
sent them in Congress as the people OF
any other State in the Union.
IfMr. Blaine's life and health are spared
as we hope and have reason to believe they
will be many years yet. every man who
has the honor and privilege of voting for
him for United States Senator in the legis-
lature at this session will have reason to
be proud Of the support he gave him. He
has a future before him more brilliant than
the past. He has never been advanced
but the step has redounded to the credit
of those who aided in putting him forward.
His course is onward and upward.
Other States are looking to see the ac
tion of Maine in this matter, and from all
true republicans everywhere will be heard
words of earnest and sincere approval of
the course of the republicans of Maine in
continuing Mr.. Blaine in the Senate. 1t
is a time when we need our best men
there. The hour is one." says the Gin
cinnati Times, "when strong men are
needed; and we think the country re-
',joices that such one as Mr. Blaine is at
'the fore to defend the rights of the peo-
''ple and to assert the supremacy of the
"law."
