A Gentle Stimulus

Is impaired to the kidneys and bladder
by Hostetter's Bitters which is most USE
full in overcoming, torpidity of those
organs. Besides infusing more activity
into them. this excellent tonic endows
them with additional vigor and enables
them the better to undergo the wear and
tear of the discharging function inn
posed upon them by nature, Moreover,
as they are the channel for the escape of
certain impurities from the blood, it in
creases their usefulness by Strengthening
and BEAUTIFULLY stimulating them. In
certain morbid conditions of these i'm
portant organs, they fall into a sluggish
state, which is the usual precursor of dis
eases. What then can be of greater
service than a medicine which impels
them to greater activity when slothful?
No maladies are more perllous than those
which affect the kidneys, and a medicine
which averts the peril should he highly

has Just received the following from Hon
& T. PiIlsbury:
AUGUSTA, Me-. Dec is. I879
The apparent Repu blican majority for
members of the legislature. was obtained
by wholesale, systs matte bribery,
buildczing and fraud. There was a
popular majority for Governor in oppo-
sitjon to the Republicans In many dis
tricts giving a Fusion majority for Cover
nor, the Republicans succeeded in getting
a majority for members of the legislature
bv trickery and other frauds. Governor
and Council have not based their action on
these frauds IN any instance, not giving
Jurisdiction but they have strictly followed
the constitution and thrown out such re :
turns as were fatally defective. whether
Republican or Democratic. In some
counties more Democratic than Republi
can returns have been thus rejected. The
Republicans have been in the habit for
wears, OF secretly returning defective Re
publican returns to the town officers for
correction, but took advantage of defects
in Democratic returns During twenty.
three years OF Republican rule. they have
never lost an officer by reason OF such
defects, while the Democrats have lost
more or less nearly every year, This has
served to make Democratic town cficers
more careful, and Republicans more care
less.
The present governor and council have
held Republicans to the strict letter OF the
constitution and laws, and the result is an
anti Republican majority 10 both branches.
They have in no case Travelled outside OF
the precedents established by the Repub-
licans themselves, and in most of the
Il hac
given by Judges of the Supreme Court.
For instapce-the Judges gave an opinion
IN 1875, that the governor and council
could not count the votes returned for
,I,iam e. Smith and W. Il. Smith, for
the same office, as having been given for
one and the same person. Applying this
rule this year, changes the result 10 a
large number of districts.
Ia 1877 the Judges gave an opinion that
the returns could not be counted where
the signatures of the officers were written
I,v other hands than tEeir own. Several
eases of this class were found this year.
In the same opinion the Judges decided
that the returns could not be counted
vchere the town clerk had Jailed to
attest them. This rule changes
several cases also BsfurD from the City
of Portland was fatally defective, in not
complying with the constitution in giving
the names of persons voted for. with the
number of votes against each name.
Some 40 votes were returned as scatter
ing. This changes the result on three
senators. and leaves five vacancies in the
house. In Lewiston. Saco, Bath and
RockIand, the returns were signed by a
minority only of the aldermen. The law
requires the whole number of ballots 70
be given in the returns. and there are
abundant Republican precedents for reject
ing them where they fail 10 that respect.
So. too. where there is q material differ
ence between the whole number OF ballots
and votes stated. Several changes have
resulted from these defects. In all doubt
ful cases the Governor and Council have
consulted eminent counsel before coming
10 conclusion, and in every instance the
