a WISE

The habit of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
m~aladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public. but
professional men have adopted, not
wholly. of course, but largely, Hostetter's
stomach 2itters as a safe botanic substi-
ute for the pernicious alkaloid. The
consequences of this change are most
important. How fever and ague sufferers
are cured-formerly their complaints
were only for the time relieved, or halt
cured-.he remedy eventually failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except
the doses were increased. A course of
the Bitters, persistently followed, breaks
up the worst attacks and prevents their
return, The evidence in favor of this
sterling specific and household me iicine
is Of no ambiguous character, but posi-.
tive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence it proceeds are very numerous.

New Hampshire Democratic State
Convention.

The Democrats held their state con-
vention at Concord last Wednesday
where it is said there was much ear
nestness, confidence and harmony. The
news from Maine, no doubt, put them
in good working order. The speaking
was slanderous and abusive of the Re-
publican party. The mention of Tilden
elected cheers, while that of President
Hayes only brought forth misses, main
ly by the copperhead element which
declared the war "failure." The
nominee is said to be rich, and if elect
ed "he'll mean business" the Demo-
Gratis say. The convention was presid-
ed over by John H. George of Concord,
and Hon. Frank Jones of Portsmouth
was nominated for Governor by a sub
stantially unanimous vote. The vote
for railroad commissioners resulted in
the nomination of w. H. D. Cochrane
of Nashua, John w. Dodge of Enfield
and Joseph Goodwin of Wolfboro. G..
B. Chandler of Manchester and John C.
Moulton of Laconia were nominated
for Presidential electors at large.

The True Index.

Our readers noticed an item last
week stating that Mr.. Burr, Demo-
cratic representative elect from Bolton,
called for "three cheers for the 1873
electoral votes from the solid South, -
which were given with will. If there
be anything more needed to show
where the sympathy of the northern
Democracy is, we should like to know
what it is. This speech, mind you,
was not uttered in the South, where we
might expect such things to come from,
but right among the free hills of Yer
mont! This Mr.. Burr, had he lived in
the South 25 years ago, would no
doubt have been a STAKEHOLDER. All
that such men want, to be enabled to
avow their sentiments for Southern
rule, is a little success at the polls. The
next thing that Mr.. Burr would do,
would be to raise the rebel flag, and
proclaim JEFF Davis President. Reader
here is genuine southern proclama.
ton thrown fair and square in our faces
1t is the true index to Democratic SEN
timent, and it points to what will even.
tually be done if these men come into
power.

Democratic Gush.

When it had been announced over the
country that the Fusionists had carried
Maine, the Democrats were not only
happy, but they boiled clear over with
good feeling. Of course Fusionism was
of no consequence anyway,-it aUas a
Democratic victory, and that was enough
for them. Democratic dispatches be-
gan to fly all over the country, and con-
CALCULATIONS were enthusiastically and
lovingly rendered to "Gov. Plaisted"
from the anxious brethren in other
states. Plaisted says he will not be count
ed out, but will take his seat if he has
but one majority. Even Hancock has
been overrun with sweet kilograms, and
like one under good deal of obliga-
ton, has replied patronizingly, telling
them they are all good fellows, who
deserve success, etc. The only funny
thing to all this is, that the gush came
little too quick. That smart little
Tilden trick worked well while it last
ed, but like the boys gun-spring, broke
when he cooked it.

Massachusetts Republican State Con-
vention.

The Republican state convention
was held at Worcester last week We'd
nesday. The following is a summary
of the doings. Hon. Eben F. Stone OF
Newburyport was temporary chairman,
and President Paul A. Chadbourne OF
Williams College, permanent chairman.
The following nominations were made /:
For Governor-John D. Long of
bingham.
eut.-Gov.-Byron Weston, Dalton.
Sec'y of State-Henry B. Pierce of
Arlington.
Treasurer and Receiver General -
Daniel A. Gleason of Medford.
Auditor-Charles R. Ladd of Spring
field.
Attorney General-George Marston,
of New Bedford.
Presidential electors at large-Paul
A. Chadbourne of Williamstown and
John NJ. Forbes of Boston.
The convention is said to have been
very harmonious. Speeches were made
by President Chadbourne, Gen. Dew
ems, and Gen. Hawley, which were en-
Enthusiastically received by the people.
The resolutions were of the right ring,
and according to the very full accounts
we receive of the convention, every
body is satisfied with results.

and what you intend to do when you
get chance. Hancock is clever fell
Iowa hero-a "supurb" soldier and so
on, but when elected he must mind the
South or get turned off. When it
comes TO this, the "supurb" will be in
exactly the same fix that granny Bu-
chanan was the last few months of her
administrations handy but despised
tool. Yes, that's exactly it, Hancock
tUiU hare to mind, and no mistake about
it, if he ever becomes President. There
is nothing new in all this-the same
things have happened before, and Bob
Toombs makes no concealment of the
Southern intentions.

Notes of the Fair.

CoMMENDABLE ENTERPRIsE.-C. c.
Bingham, with his wonted enterprise,
ran line of telegraph wire from his
drug store on the Plain to his store on
the Fair Grounds, and established tele-
phonic communication between these
two points. This was great conven-
fence to superintendent and others
connected with the fair, as orders for
articles on the Plain could be trans
mitted in moment, saving time and
quite journey. 1t may not be
known that Mr.. Bingham has put a
transmitter into the telegraph office in
this place, so that members of the Tele-
phone Exchange can transmit their
messages direct to telegraph office, and
receive replies in same manner, with
out extra charge. This is great con-
venience to members of the Exchange
living at a distance from telegraph of
fee.

Exactly So ]

Not long since Bob Toombs, of
Georgia, said in a speech something
like this, that if Hancock was elected
he would have to do as Sour boysr
wanted he should, if not, sour boys'
would take things into their own hands !!
Exactly so! Bob, you are no hypocrite,
whatever else you may be. You have
spoken right out just what you mean,

A NOVEL SIGHT.

Soon after the address there was a
grand cavalcade of OK teams around
the track. 1t was the best sight of the
whole fair. Here was an exhibition of
what farmers in this country are able to
do with care and great pains, and what
the fathers of this profession have al

Newell will soon recover. The drive
of the band team is held to blame.

man from Maine, was arrested Wednes
day, near the Fair Ground for intoxica
ton. 1t seems that in passing til

threw some of their tools into the river
Being brought before Justice N. M
johnson, he was fined five dollars ani
costs, amounting in all to $13.42.
GOBBLED FOR SELLING. - Charles
Simpson, Sheffield Geo. Ingerson and
Edward Cadet Littleton; Dan Ivers and
Patrick Cation, Barton, were all arrest
ed at the fair for selling liquor. At the
hearing before Justice johnson We'd
nesday night, Simpson was fined $3.50
and paid over what money he had and
his watch. The other cases were con-
tinued until Friday. This is a poor
town for liquor sellers.
$50 WEST" y Mr.. A. c. Harvey,
western agent, had a stand upon the
grounds where he showed an excellent
display of cereals from Nebraska, in
Guiding several kinds of wheat, rye,
barley, oats, fax, immense ears of corn,
etc. These fruits came from one county
and Mr.. Harvey is agent for railroad
lands there. 1t was an attractive stand
for farmers and others to visit.
The music during the fair was most
acceptable. 1t was given by the St.
Johnsbury Cornet Band, and in their
new uniform and parade caps,
the band made quite handsome ap-
pearance.
IHE ENTRIEs.-The secretaries books
show the following figures. In stock
department, 1879, 4s4 1880, 500. Me-
chanics and vegetables, 1879, 300; 1880,
348. Ladies department, 1879, $50;
1880, 657. The fair of 1879 was a very
successful one.+eIn every department.
except the ladies, the entries of this
year exceeded those of last. 1t was re-
marked however by good judges that
the quality of articles in floral hall never
averaged so high as this year. Almost
everything shown WAS nice
The MANAGEMENT.-Great credit is
due the managers, superintendents,
secretaries, police, ETC., for the good Or
der and smooth manner in which our
fairs are conducted. Especially do the
printers give thanks to secretaries for
their assiduOus endeavOrs to give them
"copy," so the result of the fair could
be given the people at the earliest date.
But few realize the amount of work
there is in running first-class fair, if
they did there would be less grumbling.
The SUCCESS. - More people were
present the first day this year than last,
but not quite so many tickets were sold
the second day. The third bids fair to
be good day with good crowd, and
we have no doubt the fair will be
financial success, as it has been a sue
cess otherwise. In fact more money
was taken Tuesday and Wednesday
than the two days last year. Over
1000 tickets were sold at the gate Wed
nesday. This with the 700 ladies free,
children under II free, the stockholders
and families free, probably made up
crowd of some six or seven thousand
people.
