TO eaA1IFY HIS WIFE.
Am Interesting story--A Hopeless Case Cured by using Dr. Hennedy's
 "FavOrite Remedy"
Statement of Mir. Washington Monroe, Of Catskill
 Greene County, \. |.

"For many years had suffered from complaint which the physicians called Gravel. I had employed some of the most noted doctors without obtaining any per- 1nanent relief, and for long time my case was regarded as hopeless. All who knew the circumstances said must die. Finally, my wife induced me to try bottle of Dr. Kennedy Favorite Remedy which she had somewhere heard of or seen adyertiseda Without the slightest faith in it, but sole ly to gratify her, bought bottle of n druggist in our village. I used that and, twoior. three bottles more, and-to make q long story short-I am now as healthy man as there is in the country. g
 'sSince then I have recommended Fa.' xorite Remedy to others whom knew to have suffered from Kidney and Liver conn plaints; and, assure the public, that the, sFavorite Remedy has done its work with a similar completeness in every single in- stance, and I trust some other sick and diSH' couragcd mortal may hear of it and try
 the Fayoritc Remedy as I did" (0

The opposition tasihe Republican
ticket seems to be particularly directed
against T. N ScdgwiclS. "IIe belongs
10 the ring" bowls Eskridge from every
stump. We understand that this poli!i-
cal ''Nhat is 1t" Is particularly severe
on Scdgwick. Now, to show how sin
cere Eskridge is, we have it from an I'M
doubted source that hc went 10 Sedg-
wick just before he issued his glowing
"letter Of acceptance and proposed TO
Mr. S. that if he (Sedgwick) would get
certain Republican Influences TO with
draw their opposition TO him (Eskridgel
he would support Sedgwick and the
whole Republican ticket He agreed 10
take the stump for the ticket.
| He said he wanted to be
elected by Republican votes
If anybody doubts that he said
this to Sedgwick, abundant proof can lie
furnished to satisfy them. This only
shows the dishonest trIekery Of the man.
What confidence can the people put in
his word: If Sedgwick is the man he
now says he is in his speeches, why
was he willing to support him only a
month ago? One day lie was willing to
pledge himself to support the Republic
can ticket ard the next comes out over
his own signature and declares that the
Republican ticket ought to be defeated
that if the people want "fraud and cor
ruption crushed out aud the ring burst
ed they must elect the peoples ticket

by the ring" Out on such political

LEGATION of what, with extravagant po-
likeness, are termed General HancOck's
views on this question, seem TO indi-
cate the urgent necessity of some speedy
means of reparation, and as the way out
of every Democratic dilemma In the
past has been to champion the already
accomplished measures of the Republi.
can party, they Tow hit upon this device
as the only feasible means of escape
from the thIckening difficulties which
are fast hedging them in. But all this il
too late. The Democratic national plat
form is, wonderful to relate, explicit on
one point, and this, unfortunately for
the party, is the very issue which
is now bearing it down. Besides, in
making any attempt to dodge this ques
ton, the campaign managers squarely
confront the record of their party, which
has always been the champion of free
trade, and directly stultify such able and
influential men as Morrison, Hewitt
Tucker, Wood, Carlisle, Cox and Nc
Lane, who are recognized as the leaders
of the party and its brains. The Propos
ed Democratic departure is repetition
of the fatal expedient of swapping horses

subterfuge, and scores of honest Demo
Gratis will be be driven TO the opposition
by their disgust for party which can
not honestly face solitary Issue sci

"THoU ART The MAN,

"Many of the wrongs imposed upon
the taxpayers of Gtss county had their
origin in Ubiquitous legislation. "-Esk-
rige in his letter of acceptance: anA'e
Eskridge openly boasts that he has
been to the legislature from this county
more than any one else, and the above
from his own pen is a serious comment
on his legislative career. We confess
we had hardly expected he had so far
reformed as to tell the truth ON himself
If We have had ubiquitous legislation
the people must hold him more
responsible for it than any one else here.
DR.. Armor must have had much the same
view of Eskridge's work In the legisla-
ture expressed in this letter of acceptance,
because after Eskridge had spent three
sessions at Topeka, the DR.. said in print
that so long as we sent Eskridge to the
legislature so long would frauds and
swindles abound in that body. These
two eminent politicians agree exactly as
to the effect of electing such men to the
legislature
