Sensihle Words. -

The Chicago Democrat with words that
are timely and good says: mo democrat
ever had less excuse for leaving his party
than he has at this time. Of course he
has no thought of turning republican; and
yet he is helping that party il he fails to
vote the democratic ticket. Unless he is
ashamed Of all his past political life, no
democrat should assist in trailing IN the
dust the good old flag under which he has
heretofore battled. The party is as good
aud pure party as was ever known in
our country's history. Dou't join its life
long enemies in defaming and dishonorIng
it. 1t is sure to triumph, although you
may not choose to have part 10 the vic
tory. The next congress will be demo
cratic, and the next president will be a
democrat. Will you aid in efectinG these
results. or will you stand with those who
have always derided democrats as igno
rant. vicious and incapable?"

the business far more thoroughly, but also
on account of its perfect wholesomeness

and ample showing the decisive nature Of
its effects, and that it is no mere palliative.
Physicians concede its excellence, and
there is constant influx of communica"
