GENERAL CHESTER A. AEnIUR's letter
Of acceptance Of his nomination by the
Republican party as Vico-Prcsident, is
published. In it he declares his adher-
cnco to the principles set forth by the
Chicago Convention, and then allows
himself to express his own views at some
length lie mentions as among the is
sues between the two great political par
ties, the question Of the authority Of the
National Government TO maintain free
elections in every State, and arraigns 2
Democratic Congress for efforts to nulliiy
the election laws. On the question Of IN
dividual freedom. in the exercise Of the
ballot which both the Democrat and Re
publican parties have so distinctly set
forth in their platforms, he says:
"Moro than this, the Republican party
holds, as q cardinal point in its creed,
that the Government should, by every
means known to the Constitution, pro-
tect al American citizens everywhere in
the full enjoyment Of their civil and
political rights AS a great part of its
work of reconstruction, the Republican
party gave the ballot to the cman-
cipated slave as his right and defence

their vote. 1t is true that no State statute
or Constitution in 50 many words denic
or abridgcs the exercise Of their politica

PRospER0US YIME+-One Of the mos. Ger.
tam evidences Of prosperous times in the
United States is the fact that there never
has been before in the history of this coun-
Try 50 large demand for printing papcr.
To give some idea Of the way printers are
now driven with work and the amount of
paper used we give the following facts con.
cerning the large amount of work which is
being done in the publication of a Trca-
tiSo or The Horse and his Diseases" which
is now having an immense sale throughout
this country: 1t has been ascertained that
the publishers who at first had them
printed by large printing establishment
at ClaremOnt, n. H., found that the book
was becoming so popular and gave such
universal satisfaction that they must secure
the services OF other printers, and conse-
qucntly 4 large printing house in Boston
was engaged, and rs the demand kept in.
creaslng another large printing house in
Chicago was also engaged to assist the
others. The sale of this werll in English
alone is now about 10000 copies day. To
print and bind these requires the services
of about 100 person and eight large cylin-
der presses, two of which are the improved
fast running with considerable other ma
chlncry. Besides what is printed at the
three establishments mentioned above it is
also being printed in German at Cleveland,
Ohio, and i'll French and English at Mon.
treal, Canada. Being illustrated with about
65 fino engravings, full of important and
reliable information for horse owners and
sold at the low price of 25 cents, is the
| great secret of tho large sale of this book
which is published by DR.. B. j. Kendall e

ed by any similar publication, yet the
larger part of their business is the manu-.
facture of "Kendall's SPAWN Cure" which
is now being sold by nearly all druggists in
the United States and having an immense
sale which, like the sale of the book is
because it is worth moro to the purchaser
than its cost. 1t is claimed by the proprie-
tors that Kendalls SPAWN Cure" will not
only cure Spavins, splints, Ringbones.
Curbs and other similar blemishes but will
remove the enlargement and that as il

We feel confident that any one examining
fully their book and circulars will find
sufficient evidSnoe to prove TO them beyond

important discoveries of the nineteenth
century. A copy of this book will be given

DIR. TANNER surprises the experts. He
is actually gaining in weight on diet of
water. He has overcome the unfavorable
symptoms Of a few days since and ap-
pears to be enjoying starvation. He is
certainly setting at defiance all previously
accepted rules, and the doctors are now
beginning to think he may yet accom-
plish his forty days. The foolish expert
iment demonstrate nothing particularly,
and the loss of the life of the poor fellow,
which will probably follow, only shows
what poor estimate men put upon life
when a little cheap notoricty is to be
gained for its forfeiture.

New York show the laxity with which
law is administered in some of the de-
rartments of that city. An order was
suddenly given by the United States Dis
trict Attorney to stop all passenger steam

the most popular bay and river excursion
boats were placed under fbcl as not meet
