the Uuwavering support Of every tax payer, and we
congratulate ourselves that our just equitable and
prudent management of the public affairs of this
county has so commended itself to the Republicans
that they as organization, have ceased all oppo-
ston it and in Difference to the wishes of the peO
pie refuse to nominate ticket and have withdrawn
from the contest.
The following resolution, endorsed by the County
Convention held in the morning, was presented and
read:
Be 1t resolved By the Democratic party Of Kent County
in meeting assembled, That until otherwise order
ed there shall be two nominating conventions held
in this county to be composed of sixty delegates each
elected from the different hundreds in the same pro-
portion at present. One of said conventions shall
be held for the purpose of nominating candidate
for sheriff and candidate for coroner and the other
to nominate candidates for the Legislature and Levy
Court. The time of electing delegates to said con-
ventionS and the meeting of the conventions shall be
determined by the County Executive Commlttee
Upon motion the resolution was adopted unani
mously.
After the organization Col. E. L. Martin, candidate
for Congress, was introduced and spoke at length
favoring gold and silver and convertible currency
as opposed to the greenback movement; opposed o
protective tariff opposed to the policy of contrac
ton and resumption; was opposed to subsidies of al
kinds; was opposed to national banks and was par
ticuary severe on the Republican party for its con
duct during and since the war.
The correspondent of the EUery Evening says thu
speech was well delivered and made a favorable i'm
preston The Sentinel the contrary says Martin OF
Finances" was simply rich! It's no use to read o
Principles of Economy after hearing Mr.. Martin! HC
sums it all up as follows: Something must be done
don't know what ought to be done, yet promise K
do it." When he speaks he is his most potent enemy
His talk was stupidity and ignorance agitated by
wind.
Hon. Eli Salisbury followed Col. Martin in brie
| speech.
The ticket, having no opposition will have clear
walk over the course. The Sentinel has the following
among its convention notes
Mr. James NJ. Kerbin of Dover, has been used twicC
by the Ring to pull their chesnuts out of the fire
only this time they had one of them roasted Dunn
The others were cooked nicely. Kerbin will never b.
used by them again. They have squeezed him dry.
Frank NJ. Dunn was nominated Sheriff in spite o
the Ring. This is the second man that they wer,
compelled to nominate to save a break in thu
machine The boys at the crank are laboring hard
but they are not experienced hands at the trade
Time will improve them, if the public will only b.
patient.
| Mr.. John S. Harrington, the Ring candidate 70
Sheriff was defeated through the mismanagement o
the machine the hands at the crank 1t is found
have not panned out very well for their friends, bu
they have done very well for themselves. One Is t
be Secretary of State and the other hopes to b
clerk of the House.

Gastric Juice.

Gastric Juice is q fluid secreted by
the stomachs of animals, and is the
principal agent in the digestion OF
the food. II is Transparent, pale
yellow liquid, of saline or acrid
taste, containing from 2 to 3 per
cent. of solid matter, about one and
seventeenth of which Is singular
organic substance called pepsin.
This substance has the power OF
converting, under proper cIrcum-
stances, almost every species of al
luminous and fibrinous matter into
soluble albumen. It has been found
to be an excellent remedy in many
forms of indigestion, and the prep
aration and sale of il is now quite q
trade. In France it is obtained
from the stomach of the pig, by
carefully washing it, then scraping
of the soft mucous membrane, rub
bling 1t down with little water,
filtering, precipitating the foreign
matters with acetate of lead, again
filtering, and then precipitating the
excess of lead with sulphuretted n.y.
drogen; it is then filtered once
more, and after carefully evapora-
ting to the consistence of syrup, it
is consolidated with dry starch.
Pepsin is also prepared to a limited
extent in this country. In England
it is prepared from the stomach of
the sheep as well as of the pig, and
the use of the lead and sulphuretted
hydrogen are avoided by precipita-
ting the foreign matter with alco-
hol, pepsin being soluble in weak
spirits. The strongest pepsin is OBJ
tanned from young, healthy pigs
which are kept hungry, and are
then excited by savorY food, which
they are not allowed to eat; while
the influence of it is strong upon
them, and the secretions are pour
ing out in expectation of the meal,
the animals are killed. Pepsin is
rendered inert by temperature of
from l20 to 80 degrees, and hence
very hot drinks tend to produce in
digestion.

How Much Paper Money.

The cry for more paper money raised
by so many papers in the land Is the
most fallacious and misleading of all the
efforts now being made to bring about
better times.
Money cannot he made by merely
printing on piece of paper this is so
many dollars, it must be the result of
value produced. There is no such thing
as cheap money. 1t is a mere measure
of value andonly represents true value
in the case Of gold and silver in proper
ton to the labor it requires to dig it from
the the bowels of the earth. Be not de-
ceived by the cry of the demag0gue. who
promises to make times easier 10y Issuing
hundreds of thousands of greenbacks.-
Remember how such money deprecated
during the Confederacy and look to the
facts of a large circulation of paper
money during the past fifteen years as
shown in the following from the Rich
mond Dispatch 1t is the cost of pro-
duction and the demand for an article
that gives it its true value
We are not afraid of any quantity of
good money that can be obtained from
the mines or elsewhere. Let us have 1T
in abundance. But these currency
thinkers all demand a large increase of
paper money, and say that we have of
it only fourteen dollars per capita. True
enough. But that is more than twice
as much as we had in the days of our
greatest prosperity. Here are the fig
ures. They are official. They were

one of terror, over forty adults being

many favored a suspension of business

scene at the mOrgue was never to be for
gotten. At noon there was fifteen
corpses in the morgue. Two horses of
Undertaken Coffee fell dead in the streets
while conveying the bodies of two VIC
Tins to the cemetery. Undertaken
Smithers lost three horses in the same
service. Among the bodies laid out in
the morgue was that of John Phaten,
once of the city council, and one of the
most brilliant young men in the city
He had been picked up in the street

ceremonious burial. The coroner's Of

Horses and mules suffered intensely
