the Barlow delegates. but headed in bold
type "anti- Barlow" in order to cheat III

votes were gained for Mr.. Barlow by it.

FaOM REV. JOHN GREGORY,

Pasfsr Of the U,slsyan Methodist Church, al Pitts
ton, Luserne County, Pa.
My Dear Sir-Having at various times. personally
and in my own and other families, tested the
great value Of the N edicine called the PERUVIAN
SYRUP. = Projected SOL UTI0N OF
PROTOAIDE OF IRON, most cheerfully
recommend it, especially to those who are
suffering from Dyspepsia end nervous disorders
As reliable and powerful alternative, 1t is, think
unsurpassed and as tonic, free from all the OBJ
jectonsble features Of alcoholic remedies it most
efficient auxiliary to the Temperance cause. One
OF the greatest hindrauces TO the temperance re-
form at present is as I think, the medical useof
alcoholic stimulsnts. Whatever may be argued as
to their necessity in certain cases, We have IN the
PERUVIAN SYRUP, safe and efficient substitute
for those da ngerous remedies. This testimony Is
given unsolicited with the hope that rome who are
not yet acquainted with the valuable properties
Of the medicine may be induced to give II a trial
Yours truly, JOHN GREGORY.

The nhttest MAN.
From the Uy2enark NeIpt halor,

From the Hy3epark NeioJ. before its flop.
The contest is between Hon. Bradley Bar
low and Hon. L. A. Sowles, of ST. Adams,
and General W. W. Circuit. Of Barton OF
these the iinhttest man is Barlow. We do
not say this with On undue estimate of his
remarkable ability in certain directions.
He is probably the most skilful wire-puller
in the State, indeed we would be willing to
match him against any man in America.
Ask any one of bis enthusiastic admirers in
franklin county why they think their IA
vorite will win and the stereotypei reply is
80, he's got the stamps and knows
how to use EN-. DOn's you see
what trappy lot IF political work
an honest, intelligent voter, who, realizing
the depth into which politics have fallen,
has purpose to cast his mite for better
condition OF things, no stronger reason
could be given Tor opposing Mr.. Barlow.
Are the great mass OF voters to be controlled
by the few willy politicians who have been
bought by this mans ill-gotten spoils?
We do not beliye they are. There are
plenty OF better, safer lien to select
from, two Of whom are now promi
nently before the people. We refer
to Hon. E. A Sowles, of St. Adams,
and Gen. W. W. Grout, of Barton. The
former has been called cOld-blooded, shy
lock, etc. Yes, he has got money and does
not spend it by asking friends to drink,
playing poker. sporting fast women.
etc etc. Therefore, the young bummers
call him cold-tlOOded. We shall be i'm
menssly mis- taken, however, if the people
do not have a word to say in commenda-
ton of hi i'm, when the caucuses for nomin-
sting delegates to the District Convention
are held. The candidate, however. who
seems at present most likely to defeat Mr..
Barlow is Gen. W. W. Grout. OF Barton.
With war and civil record that the peo-
Pile are invited to inspect. he will come
into convention with the unanimous sup
port Of his own (Orieans) county, backed
by Essex solid, and fair support from
Chittenden and Lamoille, and will give Mr..
Barlow a sharper fight than he imagined
possible, while Sowles will hold the balance
of power. aud possibly become the favored
man il not. he will undoubtedly be able
to say who shall be the successful man
this time.
