What Ais the Machine.

There ID trouble in the Republican ad-
ministration at Albany More than 10 any
other State, the party in New York has
always been run by machinery. First it
was the Weed-Seward Morgan machine;
then the Greeley Fenton-Aivord machine !;
and for some years past it has been the
Conkling~ Arthur Conkling machine.
The last named is just now running with
greater difficulty than either of it's prede-
cessors. The hands that guide it may not
be weaker than those that controlled in
times past. but they are less deft aud con-
cijatory, more intoierant aud exclusive.
and they certainly so manage as to arouse
intense opposition in their own party.
10 one particular the present machine is
like the mills of God-it grinds exceeding
small. In other words, it turns out very
small men. This is clearly shown IN the
average quality of the representation from
this city to the Chicago convention, and on
the presidential electoral ticket.
Would not he be a rash man who should
pledge himself to prove that, as a whole,
the state administration was ever con-
structed of lighter materials than now ?
That's what's the matter with the Conk
ling Arthur-Coruell machine.

have observed the same mistake 10 several
of our contemporaries, and it is easy to
see that they fell into it by simply doub-
ling the number of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, which gives 1888, without mzk-
ing the necessary addition for the Terri
tories. The national conventions OF both
parties are composed of double the 76
Senators, which is 1872; double the 293

each of the eight Territories and two from
the District of Columbia, making total a

Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
woyears. He threw them away
I'm "a Hours after the first APP
plication of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAML1N:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf.
fering severely with Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including large quantity OF morphine, all OF
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. / used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood as quick as any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such a sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
. SIldhSGs hAouSi IL SHOuId DE OeaIH.
That all who read this may know how
have been. l will say, when commenced
using Wizard Oil, could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand.
L was reduced to mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutchess or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
/ used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. / now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty-fve
pounds in flesh But must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as you wish, and hundreds of the citi-
Gems of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.
