expression on election day. These.
forebodings were well founded, phe
Labor party drew away enough of
votes from the Republicans to give
the State to the Democrats. This
was the main cause of the Republican
defeat,
A free fight sprang up between
local Republican factions in PhiIadel-
phia. One faction repudiated the
regular nominees, and forming Goa
litiOn with the Workingmen, secured
the election of a portion of the Dem
ocratic local ticket. Thus the party
strength in Philadelphia was frittered
away. There was no campaign or
ganization in any part of the State
no money was expended, no speeches
were made, and no effort made to get
voters to the polls. That the usual
"off-year" vote should have been
polled under such circumstances as
these is simply marvellous. The
Democrats show great wisdom in re-
framing from setting up shout of

How to Cure Sickness

Natures method of publication and
consequent cureis founded on the rational
principle of judicious gatiOn;and when
it is considered that the best physicians
pursue the practice of attention to the
stomach and bowels as preliminary land
often the only) treatment of disease, it is
not difficult to perceive that q remedy
possessing all the requisites of a purgative
and Alternative, in addition to other and
valuable remedial influence, must obtain
for itself more than ordinary consideration
and favor. Our remedy combines every
quality required for the treatment of dis
ease on the above-named rational princi-
pie. 1t is a pleasant Cathartic, active
or gentle, according to the dose; it is o
Blood purifier, toning and enriching this
fluid by its Alternative property; its action
on the Liver is soothing and certain, pro-
noting the Biliary secretions; it is q safe
andreliable Emmenagogue, acting specifi-
cally upon the uterine SYSTEM it affords
the greatest attainable relief in Dyspepsia,
and cures whenever used as directed !;
and in conjunction with hygienic means
is the best preventive Of Constipation
that can be suggested.
From the above it would then appear
that the simplest method to cure sickness
Is that one which combines judicious pur-
cation with physical sustenance, and the
observance Of hygienic measures; the
head should be kept cool, the feet warm,
and the bowels open; and when treating
diseases on the principles exhibited in the
manual referred to below (Which every
one should read) the strength should be
sustained by nourishing (not stimulating
food Of the kind adapted to the complaint
while the remedy is removing the disease.

WhVWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
tomany diseases, there are four prominent
causes of much of human disease, and
these are: Impure air, which causes poi
soning Of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, VIII = is a great
source of Typhoid and kindred feYers;
improper food, which is the cause of
Stomachic ami Intestinal derangcmcnt;
and sudden changes of climate nd tenn
perature, which induce c3ngas We disor-
ders. Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with tie principles and
poisoned with the germ 8 OF disease and
death. Whenever tie proportional prin-
ciples of the Blood become disturbed from
any of the causes named, impoverishment
or poisoning of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnormally, Dyspep-
sla and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to ex-
cite the unusual action of the Liver is
certain 10 produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is torpitude or sluggish
ness OF the bowels-Constipation, with its
host OF attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
it becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. By neglecting
the laws OF nature, and eating unsuitable
food, or eating wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking
at meals, by many other improprieties of
eating and drinking, and particularly by
that one Notwithstanding habit peculiar
to the American people-rapid eating
Indigestion or Dyspepsia is established
with all OF its distressing consequences;

SPEAKER RANDALLS TELLERS.

WHY TWO srALwART DEMOCRATS WERE APPOINTED
A MYsTERY-Is A POLICY OF VIOLENCE CoETEM-
PLATEDi
fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRTBUNEI
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Specuation is rife as 70
the motives which led Speaker Randall yesterday 10
violate the unbrOken precedents of nearly century
and appoint two tellers from the majority side OF
the House to count the electoral votes President
Ferry, in the consultation between the two presld-
ing officers protested against this course, but MI
Randall was inhexible. Thus Mr.. Ferry was
obliged in order that the Republicans might not be
deprived of an equal representation, to appoint Two
Republican Senatorial tellers. The performance OF
an extraordinary official act argues an extraordinary
motive. 1t is evidently considered important IN
the inner counsels of the Democratic party
that whatever power the House can get exercised
through its tellers over the count shall be an I'M
divided power. The two members chosen by Mr..
Randall are both Southern men, one being from
Georgia and the other from Missouri. If they have
anv special qualifications for the place beyond GER
tain physical force and energy, such qualities are
not conspicuous It is reported that these gentle
men were selected three weeks ago, when 1t was
supposed that no compromise could he agreed upon
Why programme that contemplated the
possibility of violence should now be car
ried out. when it appears to be a
useless and gratuitous piece of craftsmanship, IS
mystery Mr. Randalls action raises suspicion
that the Democrats do not mean to accept the de-
cison of the Commission as fnality if it should go
against them. However this may be, it is evident
that they have thought it important to provide for
any contingencies in which it may be desirable for
them TO WELD the full power of the House, real OF
pretended, over the whole machinery Of the count
