THE Democr attic papers are jubilant. Til
den for once has been wrongfully accused;
he has no connection with the Til
den Sc Company charged with the frauds
on the revenue. Indeed there is no evidence
and no reason to believe that he has de-
frauded the revenue since the days of the
income tax. And better than all, in this
latest accusation not only Tilden is innocent,
but his nephew as well seems to have been
upjustly accused. 1t is a great day for the
Democratic party. Both Uncle and Neph-
ew have been found guiltless of the latest
charges of wrong-doing preferred. Perhaps
Mr.. Tilden can fnd time now to clear him.

A NEW story about Daniel Webster is 60
ing the rounds. "Mr. Webster" asked a
friend,inervously grasping him by the arm,
on the morning when he was to reply to Hayne,
"Mr. Webster. are you ready?" The great
man, bringing his open right hand vertically
down into the palm OF the left, quietly said !;
u have got four fingers in" The teller of
this story goes on to explain that 'four
fingers" Was. among sport smen, the mark Of
an unusually heavy charge for gun. Yes,
that is one explanation of the phrase. But
those who know Webster's habits may think
there is another little more probable.

The Indianapolis Journal has learned
directly from Gov. Hendricks that the re-
cent interview published in the World was
entirely genuine. 1t received his permission
to state in the most explicit terms that it is
his "positive and irrevocable'' intention to
decline a second place upon another Presi-
Dental ticket; "that he was not an aspirant
for the place of Vice-President and would
not accept commission to that office If
rendered him to-day; that it was, in his
opinion, a less honorable and less responsible
position than that of Speaker of the House
of Representatives, and less remunerative
than his law practice in Indiana, and he
could see no reason why he should again al
low the use of his name in connection with
the office; that he did not desire to enter the
White House from the back door or through
the Vice-Presdency, and desired to put at
rest at once and forever all talk of his oc-
cupying second place on any Presidential

CASTORIA

Pitchers CastOria is especially adapted to
children. When the child has health the mother
can rest. Castoria is a vegetable substitute for
nauseous Castor Oil, and the deleerious narcotic
Syrups sometimes used. Containing neither mine
raj, morphine or alcohol, it has received the en-
dorsement of physicians and its sale is constantly
and rapidly increasing. 1t seems to be nuture's
remedy for assimilating ,he food in the
stomach, causing proper digestion, and preventing
sour curd, vomiting, wind-colic and diatrhea.
This gives natural sleep. Castora is not narcotic.
1t is as pleasant take as honey 1t relieves the
stomach and destroys worms. 1t alays fever and Is
very eficacious for Group. Every mother should
have it. Babies cry and grow fat upon Castoria.
