AN LN0PPORTUgE REQUEST.

Will our Montgomery county brothers
please hoist their flag for the next Congress
man, that we may know whom we are 10
support We ask this in kindness. If they
have no one, then we will offer Mr.. Walch as
the gentleman best suited TO them, for several
reasons.- Cumberland AHeganian.
The request is one that we cannot consist
emily with our course in journalism comply with
directly, so far as particularizing county man
BY placing his name al the head of the paper,
though there are several aspirants in the coBn-
ty. 1t is something that we have never dore
yet, TO attempt to forestall the opinion of the
county. When the majority of the county say
by their votes whom they wish to represent
them we shall advocate his claims TO the end
uuyieldinely. The Alleganian knows well that
our demands have been for a Montgomerian
TO represent the Sixth District in the next
Congress, and those demands have not been
opportune. He reminds US of one rousng
from . lethargic spell questioning the repetition
of an address that is vaguely remembered
His object is palpable. We shall not follow
the example of the fly by walking into his
meshes as the fly did those of the spider. Our
political differences will be as secretly kept as
those are that occur in the household, as
quickly healed and as little injurious to our
own welfare.
Montgomery county deserves TO have the
nomination this time, as she has not had a
representative but once, that time in the per-
son Of Hon Richard j. Bowie, and be was not
o Democrats, good many years ago. Since
then she has always made the election
Of the Democratic nominee from the other
counties with one exception, that of Hon.
Joha Richie. II was not then her lack Of
votes that defeated him, but the failure of the
other counties 10 keep down the Republican
entitle her to q representative once in while.
An impartial mind could give nothing but an
affirmative answer TO the question. From the
belief that this county is entitled 10 the nomi-
nation for these reasons, we are for a Mont
gomery county man, whoever the people may
name. II the AAeganidn wishes this county
to have the nomination, why is be so anxious
to have a man named? Why not wait until
the people express a choice aud until then ad-
vocate the claims Of the county which entite
Der TO the next Congressman As questions
are fashionable an answer is awaited.
Before you begin your advocacy we politely
ask you TO account for the Republican victory
in your city recently. By which, perhaps, we
may be able TO see that you are entitled to The
next nominee.

In the Whole History of Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such mar
velous cures, or maintained so wide repu-
tation, as Ayers Cherry Pectoral, which is
recognizei as the worlds remedy for all
diseases of the throat and lungs. Its Ion 2
continued series Of wonderful cures in all
climates has made il universally known as safe,
reliable agent to employ. Against ordinary
colds, which are the foferunners Of more
serious disorders, it acts speedily and surely,
always relieving suffering, and often saving
life. The protection it affords, by its timely
use 10 the throat and lung disorders of chill
dren, makes it an invaluable remedy to be kept
always on hand in every home. No person
can afford 10 be without it, and those who
have once used it never will. From their
knowledge of its composition and effects,
Physicians use the Cherry Pectoral exteu-
sively in their practice, and Clergymen re-
commend it. 1t is absolutely certain in its
remedial effects, and will always cure where
cures are possible.
