The North Pole and Equator

standard tonic, stimu liant and alterativ Q
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and the
cheap and fiery local bitters which un-
scrupulous vendors foist upon the uuwary
as medicated preparations with remedial
properties, The latter are usually COM
posed in the main of half rec,iied alcoholic
exc ints, with some wretched drug combin-
ed to disguise their real favor and are per
fectly runous TO the coats of the stomach
Hostetter's Bitter's, on the contrary. has
for its basis choice spirits of absolute
purity, and this is modified and combined
with medicinal extracts of rare excellencs
and botanical origin, which both invigorate
and regulate the bowels, stomach and
liver. They effect radical change in the
disordered physical economy, which is
manifested by speedy improvement in
the general health.

In 1877 Gov. Robinson vetoed sixty nine
bills, 10 1873 twenty-seven bills and at
the late legislative session ffty-ive bills
three-fourths of which were in the interest
OF the lobby. Not one of these bills was
repassed over the veto. and only few of
them were attempted to be repassed.
What does this prove? Clearly that the
dement's of the bills were too fagrant, and
that the arguments of the vetoes were uu-
answerable. Do not such things prove
the probity, prudence, foresight and faith
tul guardianship of Lucius Robinson
Mr. Evarts, like skillful advocate, wisely
avoided all reference to any of these facts,
