THE POSITION IN NEW YORK.

Meantime, tho Now York. election,
which has attracted less attention than
1T deserves, begins to loom up. It was
remarked two years ago by one of tho
shrcwdcst and ablcst of the New York
Republicans, that the man who should
be elected governor of New York in
1879 would, if he were man of suffi-
cicnt Importance, be in tho direct line
OF succession for the Presidential
nomination. Ohio, he said, "cannot
always expect to have the Presidency,
especially when she has already SO
many of the great offices. Unlos Mr..
Hayes should be rcnominatcd, it is
scarcely to be expected that an Ohio
G ndidatc, unless he has very extraor-
Ill ary claims, will be flvorably consiG-
cr"n by the convention. and the claims
of the great State Of Now. York-the
etatc whose vote will decide the elcc-
tion-cannot be overlooked if they arc
fairly presented. Hence the New
York election Of 1879 ought to declare
the Presidential candidate in the per-
son Of tho governor, unless the Re-
publicans CONN i the blundcr Of nomi-
mating an obscu g or second rate man, ,
and that they ought not to do, for the
credit and advantage Of the State, and
will hardly dare to do, for fear of dis
gusting the voters, who are not all
FOOLS"

SENATOR CONKL1NG's ACTION.

1t was probably this sound course
ofreasoning which recently led some
of Senator Conkling's most faithful
friends to respectfully urge him to
accept the candidacy this fall. Report
says that he refused so pcremptorily
and cnergeticallv that the friendly
suggcstors retired in dismay and be-
gan at once to consider the ways and
means preventing any other other
prominent Republican from receiving
an offer-of tho nomination. Neverthc-
less, there are Republicans here and
good political managers who still hold
that the true course for their party in
New York this fall is to reject all little
known or second rate men md put at
the head of their ticket the most con-
splenoAs sad dhhlITtitemSYh2SSat dhhlI tlliSiS Of Sfr
ConEling for governor, for instance,
would force Mr.. Tilden to take the
Democratic nomination, and that this
would demoralize the Democrats not
only In New York but in other States.
would make the resultin New York
absolutely certain this fall and secure
to the New York delegation in the
National Convention next year the
influence the State deserves and the
nomination of the candidate. The
nomination of a man Of national repu-
tation for governor of New York this
fall is desired by many Republicans
here, who regard the contest there as
OF even greater ultimate importance
than that in Ohio, because Of the largo
vote and influence of New York in the
nominating convention, and there is
reason to believe that the leaders of
the Grant movement would very much
like Mr.. Conkling to accept the nomi-
nation as helpful to their plans. :.
DIR. TUTT's REMED1Es.-lt is really
astonishing to what an extent patent
medicines arc used in this country.

lions of dollars annually, but we note
that only those of real merit stand the
test OF time; others arc ephemcral,
and others die out in few months.
or. at most, year or two. A con-
splcuous. exception arc Dr.. Tutt's
preparations. They have been before
the public over ten years; have be-
como. standard remedies, and are
growing In popularity everywhere.
1t is safe to say that their merit alone
could have established and sustained
the reputation they have. They are
last taking the place that other medi-
cines have held, and have gained
degree of confidence which rarely
attaches to a'proprietary remedy. We
speak confidently of his Expectorant
and Pills. They should be in every
family. The first is a most genial yct
powerful lung balsam, and tho pills
most anti-bilious medicine. Much
serious illness may be avoided by tho
timely use Of these remedies. DR..
