During the ''wee ana" hours, when ell are
wrapped in silent slumber, the instdious subtle
foe, unperceived and unsupported, quietly enters
the private sanctuary, attacks the inmates and
pours its poisoned miasm into the blood, which
paralyzes the nerves, locks up the secretions in
nervates the stomach, and severe chill is the
result. This deadly foe must be disarmed its de-
yastating influences must be counteracted, its
cleansed and toned, the liver unlocked and the
bowels moved. Do this and chill and fever can
not exist, and we know Of but one combination
time and that article is Days Ague Tonic, which

Dispatches to the Pioneer Press from

Dispatches to the Pioneer Press from
southern Minnesota indicate a hopeful
condition of the grain crop, both as to the
yield and price. Nearly all the wheat IN
that section is in and looking well, except
for the need of rain. The acreage seems
to be increased upon an average of about
ten per cent. On the other hand, stocks
in farmer hands are about exhausted, so
the new crop will enter a denuded market
and stand on its own bottom as to price.

THE VETO.

The telegraph brings the news that the
acting president has been coerced by the
republican party managers and has re-
turned the Army bill to the house of rep
resentatives with his objections thereto.
His objections are not those of a states
man acting for the benefit of the whole
country, or even in accord with his own
professions and policy. He has not been
actuated by any worthy or patriotic con-
siderations, but solely by the demands Of
party managers, who can in no possible
way benefit him or his administration.
He has yielded to the demands of those
who possess the knowledge of his connee
ton with the great fraud of 1876, rather
than be exposed. lie has only placed
himself in the position to be more thor
oughly despised by the American people
Just how he could veto the bill, 10 the
face of his ;own declaration that it is not
the duty of the president to initiate or con-
troll legislation, in the face of the majority
in both branches of congress, the great
American people will fail to comprehend.
He has gained nothing except it be i'm
munity from exposure. lie is not can
didate for reelection; the party cannot
and will not give him anything more, and
what then has he gained if it be not the
promise of those who know ali about his
connection with the great fraud, that they
will no, exposeshim-such CAM be the only
inference.
When this question shall be submitted
to the people-the question of free cleo
tions-there can be but one result. 1t is
the great question that underlies the whole
system of republican liberty, and there
can and will be but one decision. The re-
publicans have chosen TO go before the
people with this issue; the democracy ac-
cepts it aud will contend in 1880 for free
elections" Impartial juries" and Amer
lean independence. These will be the
real issues and 20 amount Of Dettifogging,
such as Hayes INDUCES in about the color
line 10 the south, will be permitted to cover
them up. The pTetence that it is neces-
sary to use the Army to euforoe the con-
stitutional amendments, as Hayes claims,is
sheer nonsense and unworthy the chief ex-
eeutive Of this great country.

john Kelly's Expiring Waryawp
Over Robinson's Scalp
THO FACETS. j. T."

The election in the State of New York
yesterday called out vote of about eight
hundred and fifty thousand, against a vote
of over million in 1876. The result
was the undoubted election of the
republican candidate Alonzo B. Cornell to
the Governorship for three years with the
remainder of the State officers proba-
bly, taken from the democratic ticket.
This political division was caused by
the vote of $4,000 drawn by Mr..
John Kelly from the democratic ranks in
his character of gubernatorial candidate
of the ''bolters,' forty thousand of
these votes being cast for the
Tammany '.boss" in this city, the
remaining 10000 coming from Oswego,
Chemung and along the line of the Erie
Railroad generally. While Mr.. Robin
sons plurality over Cornell in the
city amounted to about $1,000, the
heavy republican vote in the State defeated
him by from $1,000 to 10000 votes The
remainder of the democratic State ticket,
receiving the full Tammany vote, was with
scarcely any doubt elected.
The Legislature in both branches is un-
doubtedly republican by large majorities.
In this county there was much
trading of votes, particularly for the
minor offices, so that the result
cannot in many cases be reached.
heavy vote was cast. There were three
tickets in the field. The dicker between
the republicans and the Tammanyites
is probably accountable for the cleo
ton of Robert G. Brown, republican,
defeating William r. Roberts, Tammany,
and Peter Bowe, anti-Tammany. The re-
publcans do not seem to have recp-
rocated, for Gumbleton, the Tammany
candidate for County Clerk, was
defeated and William A. Butler. the anti
Tsmmany candidate, was elected. The
remainder of both tickets had not been
counted up to the hour of going to press.
