which caused laughter and applause among

Standing back or lying down on the grass

now .tclosed up" His principal line Of
argument was an arrayal of the Constitu-
ton against the McCnlloch bill, according
to his construction OF both, which pleased
his Readi usting friends, but which sound
ed into the ears OF all others as dippant as
sertions without foundation. He very con-
fidently asserted that the Constitution says
all property should bettaxed, and that tax
alton should be equal and uniform, while
the ''tbrokers' bill" declared that all prop
erty should not be taxed, and taxation
should not be equal and uniform. He was
quite confident he had Scripture on his side,
aud proved himself well read in the Bible
and history hut while drawing copiously
from the Book OF Life and profane history
to back up his assertions, he. to your cor
mind, made quite erroneous
10 this respect. He declared
the bill antagonistic to the Word and La"
of God.

Ths Death.rate of

Our country is getting to be feerfuly
alarming, the average of life being lessen
ed every year, without any reasonable
cause, death resulting generally from the
most insignificant origin. At this season
of the year especially, cold is such a
common thing that in the hurry of every
day life we are apt to overlook the dangers
attending it and often find too late, that a
Fever or Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands lose their lives in this way
every winter, while had BoSchee'S German
Syrup been taken. cure would have re-
suited, and large bill from Doctor been
avoided. For all diseases of the Throat
and Lungs, B0Schee'S German Syrup has
proven Itself to be the greatest discovery

nols, there is popular majority of $4,000
against him and his party in his state.
Though New York has returned Roscoe
Conkling, there is an anti-republican ma
jority of over $4,000 in that state.
Though Pennsylvania has reelected
Don Cameron, the republicans are in mi
nority of $4,000 votes.
Though Wisconsin had elected Carpen-
ter, there is an anti-republican majority
of 10000 in that state.
Though Zach. Chandler is sent back to
the senate, there is a majority of 10000
against him and his party.
So that republican figures, from repub-
lican sources and republican authorities
establish beyond peradYenture or denial
the following fixed facts:
First-The republican party has a pop
ular majority only in the few smaller and
unimportant states of Iowa, Kansas, Col
orado, Nebraska, Nevada, Vermont, Rhode
Island and Minnesota.
Second-In every other northern state
especially in the great states of New York

Michigan-the republican party is in q
decided minority,

| ganization.
Fourth-AIl the northern Estates alone
combined gave at the last election a ma
jority of 236,O3l against the republican
party.
Fifth-The victories of Conkling, Cam
eron, Carpenter, FLogan, Chandler etc.
all, without exception, represent minorities
not maiorities.
Sixth-The only chance there is fol
Grant to be elected is by similar minor
ity, and division of the democratic ma
jority, as IN 1860.
Seventh-The north is no longer repub-
lican. A majority of the voters are GER
tainly against it.
Now the question arises, will the oppos
lltion unite to defeat the republicans or will
they allow themselves to be so used as to
contribute to, and ensure the election OF

republican party want return of the ex-
rravagant expenditures, the thieving and
robbery that will follow e reelection Of
Grant?

Druggist and Physician.

a physician, omplainipg bitterly about
dull times, went to his druggist to find out
the reason why, at this season of the year,
his practice was not so extensive as form
erly; also, to find out what inducements
his brother medicos offered to attract away
his patients. He was startled when his
druggist answered as follows: Doctor,
coughs aud colds are very prevalent, but
every one is purchasing HALE's HONEY OF
HoREHoUND AND TAR, and RECEIVERS 40
rapidly that there is no necessity for calling
in physician. Again, the reason that DIR.
f., on til street, is having so many pa
tients is owing to the frankness he adopted
10 prescribing in every case of coughs,
colds, etc., bottle Of HALE's HONEY OF
HOREHoUND AND TAR, and finding it sue.
cesstul, he has concluded in future
that all his patients, when troubled
with any disease of the lungs, shall imme-
diately commence taking HALE's HONEY
OF HOREHoUND AND TAR"
The druggists advice was snapped, and
the almost discouraged physician now is
considered successful practitioner. His
claims are based upon the virtues Of the
medicine he adopts. which in all cases is

Is the North Republican
st. Louis-Despatch.


One of the general mistakes of the press
and the people is the idea that the north
as a section is strongly republican. This
is an utter fallacy. as we will conclusivey
show.
1t is true that in the last presidential
election the states called north" cast S.
377076 votes, of which Hayes received
2,7Gl ,609. This would indeed. leave the
republicans majority. But how much
Scarcely more than one per cent?
But this was in 1876 not in 1878. At the
last elections the returns show land all.the
figures are from republican sources, the OIL
manac OF the New York Iiibwne) that the
total republican vote was only 1888, $40, or
100000 votes less than that in 1876, and
transferring the majority into minority of
several per cent.
Ii anybody will turn to republican al
manac and cast up the figures of the last
election IN the twenty states called the
north, he will have this result:
Iota popular vote. 74O 651
Total Republican vote............ 253 3lC
total opposition vote 4SS 34l
AOI"l oppOsluOn majority. 236,03l
In palmer words, the republican party
Is now IN minority, even in the north
Inc very victories Of Logan, Carpenter,
Oonkllng, Cameron, etc., are minority vic
torles--not in the result of popular MAORI
w. out very Enthusiastically precisely the
opposite OF what the majority of the PEG
pie OF those states want.
Enough Logan has been elected in ILL.
