The True Way to Lnvigorate.

The true way to invigorate feeble sys-
tenn is to infuse activity into the operations
of the stomach, that wonderous alembic in
which the food is transmitted into the con-
stituents Of blood, the chief element of our
vitality. Hostetters Stomach Bitters, be-
cause it accomplshes this end, is greatly
to be preferred to many SO called tonios,
useful indeed as appetizers, but inopera-
tive as aids to digestion and assimilation.
This sterling cordial. while it invigorates
the stomach, BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the
liver, bowels. and kidneys, ensuing the es-
cape through the regular channels of effete
aud useless matter thrown of by the sys-
TEN, which is thus purified as we'll as in
yigorated by it. Its tonic influence ia
soon made manifest by gu increase of vital
energy and a more active and regular dis
charge OF every physical function. and il
has the further effect of rendering the sys-
tenn unassailable by malarisl epidemics.

The Third Ward.

In the Third ward the democrats have
placed in nomination for alderman, man
whose personal character is beyond the
breath of suspicion and whose ability and
ftness for the po sition of alderman, is
unquestiOned even by his political oppo-
nents. He is a man who will, if elected,
represent the ward in manner crelitable
to himself and in the interest Of his con
stituents. A maa having large business
interest, and fully conversant with the
duties Of the Office, the citizens of the
ward will gain representative who will
guard carefully against extravaganza and
be in harmony with an economical admin.

The republicans were busy yesterday
circulating a report that Cyrus Churchill,
the democratic candidate for alderman in
the Second ward, would not make the
race. Of course there was not the slight
est foundation whatever for the report,
which was falsehood cut Of whole cloth
for the purpose of making votes for the
republican nominee. We desire to say to
the republican schemers, that Mr.. Church
i'll aoiU make the race, and that be not only
has not 1oithdrdaUn, but that he will not dc
so, He is a man head and shoulders above
either of his opponents and in every way
the best qualified for the position. He
did not seek The nomination but having ac
cepted be proposes to make the race, and
aoiB too, in spite of all efforts to injure hin
by the opposition. 1t is just such men al
Churchill that the Second ward requires il
the council, aud it is safe to say that he
will be elected by handsome ma orlty

cratic majority 10 the Second ward.

Capt. D. w. Bohanou, prominent citi-
zen of Richmond, Va. became afflicted
with hemorrhage of the lungs. He was
advised sto try PoND's EXTRACT. He
found it to be the physician he needed, as
in every instance it at once stopped the
hemorrhage. II was the custom of this
gentleman to carry with him a small phial
containing the Extract, to use at once
when the first symptoms of his disorder
appeared. Capt. Bohanon is one of the
strongest champions of PoND's EXTRACT.

Rule or Ruin,

We have now to put the question
squarely to the republicans of this city
and especially to the republicans of the
4th ward. Do you intend to follow the
rule or ruin coarse of the Union2 We
now remind you that Alderman Anawalt,
Mayor Reynolds aud every republican
elected in the city last spring owes his
election to Democratic votes, to the hard
and persistent work of Democrats who stood
up squarely for the citizens, ticket-stood
up to a man, and saved the city from fall
ling in to the hands Of the dark-lantern
league which is headed and controlled by
man in whose make up there is not tn e
slightest trace Of political honesty or perso-
nal rectitude. You need not believe this
dark lantern league does noc exist: We,
have talked with men who have said they
were bound byoath to support the National
ticket Cover it up as you will, that league
did exist, and still controls the National
party in this CITY, Will you be fools and
close your eyes to the fact that II the COM
naunists gain control of city affairs all city
LEGISLATION will be shaped by this league or
by the men who composed it? The linton
by it's ignorance, .and in conformity with
its agreement to divide with the organ has,
and to the extent that it dares, is using
every effort to elect the national ticket for
its share of the paltry amount OF printing
of the CITY. What other motive can actu-
ate them to desire the defeat OF Mayor
Reynolds-and if he is defeated his friends
can lay it at the door of the two incompe'
tent persons who edit its rule or ruin col
umns. We ask Alderman Anawalt and
his republican friends ii democrats did not
fight for his election honestly and faith.
fully to the last man? Patrick Kennedy
Is just as squarely q citizens can
didate in their ward as AID. Ana
walt was last spring. He ha,
squarely accepted, as citizens candidate
over his own signature. Republicans O
the Fourth Ward brought his letter of &C
ceptance TO this Office for publication, anC
their own credit and self respect demands
that they give him every Republican vote
in the ward. We now place the RESPONSE
bility where it belongs. The Democrats il
that ward, last spring, demonstrated b.
, their united support OF Republican tina
there are men enough in the ward, outsid,
of the national party to elect Mr.. Kennedy
and any failure to accomplish that result
will be due to the Republicans. We d.
not believe they will follow the wishes OF

Republican. Besides the buidozing in the
way described, no foreign-born citizen
is allowed to vote unless an owner of
real estate. while the colored citizen can
vote whether he ownes property or not.
