BEDFORD, Me-, August l0.-E. II.
Gore, the greenback candidate for CON
gress from this district, presided at q
meeting, in city hall last night, of the citi-
zens of York county, and in short speech
introduced Gen. Butler, who spoke for
two hours. He said he came not to make
a speech, but to commune with the people
on the public interests of the day, he had
left both the old parties; he belonged to
the democratic party until it attempted to
destroy the union, and he was with the re-
publican party till it deserted its founders,
the laboring men. Capitalists now hold
the republican party bound hand aud foot /;
Hayes violated every pledge and betrayed
the negro of the South; the efforts OF
Grants administration to strengthen the
public interest we're a swindle; he reviewed
the history of greenback currency and
claimed it should be made legal tender for
all debts public and private.

SPECIAL n T1cEs.
MANY WHO ARE SUFFERING


from the effects of the warm weather and are de-
bilitated, are advised by physicians to take mod
crate amounts Of whisky two or three times during
the day. In little while those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number of 'drinks'
and in time become confirmed inebriates A bev-
erage which will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and which is intended especially for the
benefit of debiltated persons, whether at home or
abroad, is DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
tanning the juices Of many medicinal herbs, this
preparation does not create an appetite for the
intoxicating cup. The nouriehing and life sup
porting properties of many valuable natural pro-
ductions contained In it and well known to medical
men have most strengthing influence. A single
bottle OF the Tonic win demonstrate its valuable
qualities. For debility arising from sickness, over
exertlon or from any cause whatever, wineglass-
full Of Sea Weed Tonic taken after meals will
strengthen the stomach and create an appetite for
wholesome food. To all who are about leaving
their homes, desire to say that the excellent eff
fects OF DR.. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Ses
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, are particularly
evident when taken by those who are injuriously
affected by change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a supply of these
safeguards along. For sale by all druggists.
