PROF. EDISON'S
POLYF0R RIM

After much persuasion, Prof. Edison has been
prevailed upon to give to the world his truly wonder
full discovery for alternating pain. For years he suffer
ed from neuralgia pains, unable to find any remedy
among the hundreds which he tried that would give
him permanent ease. Finally he became con sinced
that he must become his own physician and seek,
by experiments, for the desired relief, He had
taken all the we'll known sedatives which gave only
tempory relief, and produced nervousness, loss OF
appetite, &c. lie now sought for combination of
such remedies as would, by OUTWARD application,
him of his distress and at the same time not be
injurious to his system.
Trials and experiments followed this deter Ia
ton until he at last produced a compound which,
by application, entirely subdued all pain and al
lowed his system to recuperate, and throw off the
disease.
To his discovery Prof. Edison gave the name

Weakness of Fusion.
A Democratic Editor Who Concludes
That His Party Has No Chance of Sue

The editor of the Washington Post has been
to Maine, and he writes to his paper very
discouraging letter about the campaign in the
State. He has discovered that the Greenback-
ers have nearly all the candidates, while this
Democrats are expected to cast nearly all the
votes. This does not please him. The Green
back element does not seem to him to enter
into the contest with proper vigor and hearth
ness. He says that good many of them hang
back, and while they do not oppose the ticket
do not give it the support so freely yielded last
year. He hastens to say that this hanging
back is not caused by the attempt to steal the
State last year aud then adds something about
bribery and treachery. Mr.. Hutchins proceeds
as follows: The cause of the weakness of the
fusion, which is powerful enough to carry the
State if properly managed, is TO be found in
the inexperience, the w-mindedness and
greed OF the Greenbackers. They do not look
beyond Maine to observe what is going on, and
are full of the folly of estimating the Condition
of parties by what they see around them
They do not care to see Hancock elected. NOT
because they do not believe him to be the better
man, but because they are assured that if he
is defeated the Democratic party will break IN
as an organization, and then, as they reason,
the Greenback party will Immediately absorb
everything but its name, and become at once
the opposition, and on the first trial of strength
defeat the dominant party. On the other
hand, they conclude with much more sagacity,
that If Hancock is elected the Democratic party
will enter upon one of the regular leases of
power, and that this will involve the disinte-
grafton of the Greenback organization When
men can be brought to believe that such a
blatherskite as Weaver is a statesman, or that

Especial Despatch to the Press

Especial Despatch to the Pressl
BIDDEFoRD, Aug. 26-The Irish Republi-
can meeting at City Hall this evening was a
very Successful one considering how largely
, our Irish American fellow citizens have in
the l,ast inclined toward the Democracy.
About one thousa and persons were present,
nearly every one Irish American.
The captain of the Irish Republ can CAM
paign organization now numbering sixty men
Niaha las Mcbride, Esq.,-presided, and music
was furnished by the Biddeford Cornet Band
w. Ri. Looney, Esq, of Portland was the
first speaker, and made an able and scholarly
addr ess He arraigned the Democratic
lead BIS for their course both, whiles the war
was. going on and since its close. He said that
last spring at the municipal election in Port
land some young men, Irish Americans ex-
ercis, I'd the right of every American citizen and
voted as they saw fit, and Gen. Anderson said
that they were hired to vote the Repu blican
tickle for So each, ''an insult" said Mr..
Loon ey, mot only to those young men, but to
every Irish American - and the audience
respo nded by loudly applauding the sentiment
The speaker believed that the time has come
to sho W the Dem ocratic leaders that they do
nov own Ino 1rlSn American vote, and that it
is du ty that everyone of the race owes to
himseltf to place himself with the party whose
symbo is the school.house rather than with
that p, .rty of which the shot gun is the EN-
blem. He asked the Irishmen present if they
could upport Gen. Plaisted. If so, then the
circuls rs denouncing James C. Madigan on
account on account of his race and religion
have been all too soon forgotten.
/ Gen.. O'Bierne of New York followed hold
ing thu, close attention of the audience for
about an hour, The Democratic party is, he
said, the enemy of education and labor. He
traced. the course of Republican legislation,
and showed that the Republican party has
been true to the cause of the people. "what
is it to be a Democrat?" he asked and back
in the audience some one replied, "Faith, its
to grulnble at all the Republicans do.' and
Gen. O 'Bierne accepted the reply, as being
sufficiently accurate of what it is to be Dem
Ocrat.
The Hon. A. L. Morrison of Chicago was
the NEXT speaker, and devoted himself to the
/ tariff question, replying to the stock argu-
ments of the Democrats in favor of free
trade.

could apply We thought the Republican
policy would bring relief and prosperity, and
the result speaks for itself. But the sincere
believer in Greenback ideas, who felt that ne
must do what he could to set the country right
financially, no matter what else was sacrificed,
deserved respect for his devotion to a sincere
belief. What can he contend for now? Great
er prosperity is here than the country ever Pc
fore has seen. The land laughs with tne
grandest harvests ever known. There are
three places vacant and waiting, with good
wages, for every capable man who is willing to
work Said the agent of a manufacturer not
many days ago: "If we had not hurried mp the
making of reapers this year, 3O,UO0,oOV Dushels
of this wheat crop would never nave peen
saved" On Saturday capable writer pub
would not reach 5000, 900 bales only because
il was physically impossible for the laborers
obtainable. to gather it all. So it is all over
the country: barns are bursting with pros
perity; factories are running full time; and
the workman knows that, without any new
plans, or any harsh overturning of financial
methods and pledges, glorious prosperity is
here. Is it necessary for the Greenback voter
to risk either that prosperity or the mainte-
nance of the country in loyal hands, in order
10 push his new ideas this year?
There was dissatisfaction with the RepuDll-
can party. Men were tod, and believed, that
it was getting frightfully corrupt. Events
have shown that they were mistaken. After
Democrats have gone about four years, armed
by Congressional Committees, with drag nets
and sbovels, and probes, and microscopes, to
hunt up every rotten thing discoverable, the
net result is that Democrats themselves ac
knowledge that the present administration IL
the cleanest the country has seen for many
years. But, as to the possibility of Democratic
reform, let those official records answer which
set forth the infamies and scoundrelisms, the
big thefts and little thefts, of Garcelon's party
in Maine.
The outside world cannot see anything hero
ic, or patriotic, or noble, in the adhesion o
the Greenback voter of Maine to the flag enc
of the Garcelon swindle. No new party cal
be built up by voters who begin by being swal
lowed. No financial revolution can be pro
NOTED by putting Democratic tricksters int
power. No reform can be helped by reward
ing and honoring swindlers. The Greenbacl
voter of Maine has been tricked into position
hopeless, dscreditable and ridiculous. The
Democratic party, loaded with its sins ant
shames, is bad enough, but to volunteer as thu
tail of the Democratic party! That is not tn
