Another Proof that
Bright's Disease in its

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Nov. q, 1879,
Messrs. II. II. WARNER & Co.,
Rochester, N. Y.
Gents: From my own sense of duty,
and upon the advice of friends | have
concluded to offer you a testimonial, pro-
claiming to the world that there is an
absolute cure for Bright's Disease in its
worst form. My daughter Carrie has
been afflicted with this terrible disease
since she was five years of age; she is now
seventeen, and during these eleven years
her life has been a burden she has been
treated by the best physicians in Buffalo
Syracuse, Utica, Ithaca, Oswego, Hornells-
vile, Rochester, and other places, and a
fortune has been paid out in the vain en-
deavor to obtain cure or even relief, but
all have pronounced her incurable; have
said that her kidneys were nearly de-
stroyed, that there was no help for her
and she must abandon all hope Of ever
being any better. We finally heard of
your SAFE KIDNEY AND LIVER
CURE, and suggested to different ply
sicians that we make a trial of it; but
they secuted the idea, pronounced it a
humbug and said it would be perfect folly.
We finally anne dorchester and tried
several physicians here, but they like the
others, were unable TO do anything for her.
w also mentioned your remedy to them
and they said it had a good reputation,
and made some remarkable cures, and en-
cOuraged us to give it a trial; so as a last
resort, we concluded to at least consult
you, and seven weeks ago to-day, | came
to your Office for that purpose. | took
home two bottles o your KIDNEY AND
LIVER CURE, and commenced giving
it to her according to directions, and by
the time she had taken one bottle, there
was a marked improvement in her condi-
ton she acquired control of her urinary
fnctions, which she had not possessed
since childhood; all bloat subsidized, she
began to gain in good, solid flesh, and
gained thirteen pounds in about three
weeks. After taking three bottles Of the
remedy, she has in this short space of
seven weeks, become fully cured of what
was regarded a hopeless case of Bright's
Disease. l wish l could talk with every
sufferer from this fearful disease, and tell
them as | can not in this letter, that |
know Bright's disease of the worst type
can be cured by WARMERS SAFE
KIDNEY AND LIVER CURE, and l
gratefully acknowledge that my daugh-
ter's lire and health Is due to the use of
that remedy. Yours truly,

VERMONT THE BANNER STATE.

Vermont nobly leads the van, and her
magnificent Republican majority will
put fresh confidence and vigor into a
campaign which was already far in adj
vance of the Republican campaign of
1876 1t is fortunate in many respects
that Vermont holds the first election in
the loyal States. Every school boy
knows that Vermont is a State where
there are, proportionally, few richer men
and paupers, more school houses and
churches, purer and more democratic
methods of self government, more wildly
ditfused intelligence, and keencr scrutiny
of public men, than anywhere else in the
Union.
Every intelligent voter knows that the
recent campaign in Vermont has derived
nine tenths of its interest from the ma
tional issues which entered into it.
Without an effort the Republicans could
have elected their Governor by an i'm
mense majority and Legislature two
thirds Republican. \ local fight was
needless. What stirred the State from
the Massachusetts to the Canada line
was the determination to show to Repub-
LEANS everywhere that Vermont recog-
nized the great perils of the hour. the
infinite importance of the national issues,
and the nature of the gigantic fraud
which IL attempted, by presenting a
Democratic candidate for President whose
sole title to honorable fame was his sue
cess in killing the rebels whose Surviving
fellows and their Northern sympathizers
constitute nine -tenths of his present SUP
porters.
The tremendous Republican majority
in Vermont will put new inspiration into
the Republican campaigns in New Jersey
and Connecticut. The latter has been
regarded as certain to give majority
for Garfield and Arthur for the past
fortnight at least. Nermont's example
will make a larger majority still more
certain. New Jersey has not been con-
sidered doubtful. since the campaign so
theoretically led by Mr., Potts has ac-
lively begun. But the inspl,i..g news
from Vermont will be worth at least f1vs
Thousand votes to the Republican side,
and the only remaining question is as to
teh majority that is to be won.

FAIR HILL, Sept :, $780,
Mr.. EDIToR:-My attention has been
called to an article i'll your paper of the
2lst ultimo in relation to the Fair Hill
school.
When I accepted the appointment as
teacher of that school, | was informed
that it would be agreeable to all parties,
and the information came from a gentle
man of the highest standing in the Fair
Hill district and one of the patrons. If
it is true that this is not the case. | will
soon settle the difficulty. so far as | am
concerned, by resigning the school into
the hands of the proper authorities as
soon as a legal notice can be given by a
teacher, as | have no desire to retain Il
situation as teacher where my services
are not desired by the patrons of the
school.
You will excuse me for saying that |
think it unbecoming in gentleman to
'crite, nor ought you to have published,
insinuations against my character as Il
teacher, which are both injurious and
untrue. B. w. JACKSON.
I'VE remind our fair correspondent
what We have repeated over and over

TO THE POINT.

General Grants letter to Gen. Logan,
Grant to preside at Garfield and Arthur
mass meeting in New York City, is SO
brief, pithy, pungent and powerful that
we give it entire, viz:
MANIToU SPRINGS, Col, August -.
My DEAR GEN. LoGAN:-I left this
place two weeks ago for an extended tour
through San Louis Park and the Gunni-
son country, and hence have only just
received your letter Of the 2sth Of July.
| will be going East the latter part of
September, and will gladly attend any
meeting intended to further the success
of the ticket headed by Garfield and
Arthur. agree with you that it will
not do to be beaten now. We should
never be beaten until every man who
counts, or represents those who count. in
the enumeration to give representation

vote Just as he pleases and can have il
counted Just as he cast it.
Yours truly, |. 5. GRANT.
With his usual clear perception Of the
vital point Of any fight, he has brought
out clearly the great Issue of the cam

and unintimidatcd in every part of the

HANCOCK AND THE SOUTH.

In 1872 the Democrats adopted the
nomination of the ablest and most con-
sistent and bitter opponent of all their
fundamental principles. They were before
in light marching order" as regards this
sort of luggage, but what little they had
was concealed under their Greeley uni
forms for the time. They had no pledge,
and could have no expectation, that Gree
ley would change his Old principles on
the questions that divided parties before
the war. But they knew that the party
that should elect 50 the President by five
sixths of the votes would "bc able to
control the government. And it would.
On the other hand, the nomination of
Gen. Hancock by the ''Solid South was
attended by no such notifications and
drawbacks as that of Greeley by the
Democrats. Greeley had great anti
Democratic record to be swallowed or
covered up. Hancock is destitute of Il
civil and political record. AS for his
l
sents no difficulties to the South. Even
during the war, the rebels had no antipa-
thy to Union officers who had been West
Pointers and were in the regular army,
following their regular business. They
even used to amuse themselves with the
fallacious theory that our regular officers
had very little heart in the war and no
sort of animosity toward 1.-THE South. y
1t was the volunteer generals whom they
hated, and the regular Union Generals
like George II. Thomas, -who were born
in ''the South"
But not only does Hancock belong to
a class of Union officers who were treated
with gracious condescension by the rebels:
but was the first General officer in com
mand in the South, during the period Of
reconstruction, who undertook to nullify
the reconstruction policy and legislation
of Congress. His Louisiana orders and
proclamations are very pretty reading
now. AS mere compositions they are
unobjectionable. though rather inclined
to run into 'the generality Of things, in
general" and somewhat Supplemented
but the truth of history compels us to
state that their publication brought I'M
reconstructed rebels out of their retreats,
and gave them the first encouragement
they had to believe that though the war
was over, the fighting for - the princi-
pies for which Lee and jackson fought >
| had just begun and would finally win.
and. simultaneously, the white and black
Republicans OF Louisiana and Texas be-
gan to experience that peculiar form of
political persuasion which has finally
made the South ''solid, and enabled it
to reward its old time tool (IIancock)
| with the nomination for the Presidency
And all it needs to succeed in establish
ing the principles for which Lee and
Jackson fought" are forty-seven North
ern Democratic electoral votcs-cnnugh
to elect, and not enough to be entitled to
any consideration, authority, or influence
with Hancock.

Mr.. EDIroR:-Never since the war,
when one by one our gallant boys fell.
has the public mind been so shocked,
except in the case of Custer, as by the
death of General Torbert on the steamer
Vera Cruz: and you will pardon me when
say, that Il more gallant CT noble sol
dier never led our hosts of blue to bat
tie than General Torbert. | could give
you instance upon instance of his noble
and fearless men: but that is written ill.,
and forms a part of. the history of the
Army of the Potomac. so many of whom
have answered the last roll call and heard
the last bugle blast. As dashing as Gus
ter, Davies, or fitzpatrick. and as cool
and collected under fire or in the charge
as Sheridan himself, it was conceded in
the Army of the Potomac that he had no
superior for any and all the qualities that
make successful cavalry leader. he

push and care excelled by none.
His death is National loss; and why
he was thus cut off in the midst of his
usefulness, is known only to the All-wisc.

Gen. Torbert's Political Legacy.

Soon after the nomination of General
Hancock it was announced in the Demo-
cratic papers that Gen. \. II. y. Torbert
would support Gen. Hancock from mo-
tives of personal friendship. This state
ment caused Augustus c. Lindsey, of
Somerville, n. j., who was private sol
dier i'll Torbert's brigade, to write to his
old commander and learn the truth. The
following is 4 copy of the reply he re-
ceived:

Fifth. Mr.. German and his Ring have
dictated the Congressional nomination in
this district. They could not nominate
their choice, Talbot, but they have
named the man. The nomination of DR..
Shaw is in every sense q "Ring " sue
cess. The fact that Mr.. Constable could
not command the one necessary vote to
nominate him from a county-Harford-

personal backing, shows, that the anti
Ring element, while it may have some
strength in Cecil and Carroll, is not to be
relied on in the district when honors are
to be distributed.

THE FIRST GUN !
GREAT REPUBLICAN GAINS.

Vermont held her election on Tuesday
last. The result is a splendid victory for
the Republicans, they electing all their
Congressman, thus gaining one in their
delegation. The Legislature will be
more strongly Republican than hereto
fore. Only one Greenbacker has been
elected to it. There was great rejoicing
at the rooms of the Republican National
Committee. At the Democratic head
quarters there was corresponding de-
gree of depression. The officers were
necessarily piled with inquiries about
the "hornet's nest" as Vermont was
termed.
Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday,
also rebuked the Democracy by a gain
of over 900 votes in single year and
earring the city by over 200 majority.
