A WONDERFUL MEDICINE

Certificate OF a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
i'm "a Hours after the first ap-
pIication Of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-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 time to my bed. The balance of the
time / was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. I used medicines without number,
including a 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 I used a 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 i'm two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and cannow
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
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how I
have been, | will say, when I commenced
using Wizard Oil, I could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand
L was reduced to a mere skeIe-
ton, and most of the time
when L moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without tlsems L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. I 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

OUR LESSON,

The result in Maine isdiscouragng, more
rom the fact that false reports had raised
The expectations of republicans than from
The real aspect of the figures Had our
people been content TO count their chickens
after they were hatched the character of
the brood would not now disturb their di-
gestion. The revulsion at finding buzzards
where fowls were expected is the occasion
of most of the republican discomfort at this
time.
We do not believe that were the presi-
dental election to take place tomorrow
that the electoral vote of Maine would be
given for fusion ticket, which would
mean HANCOCK. There are several
thousand men in the fusion ranks who
have been driven from the republican party
by local rivalries and personalities. The
Maine senators have long held the reins of
power with hard hands, and the result has
been noticeable for several years. Upon
national questions the men who have been
induced by resentment and disappointment
to join with the opposition will be found
again in line with the patriotic lovers of
freedom and the union.
Should the disaster in Maine nerve the
republicans in other states to greater effort
during the coming weeks of the struggle
we shall have no cause for sorrow. We are
confident that such an effect will be pro
duced As the defeat at Bull Run aroused
the spirit Of the north which never after
ward tagged until Appomattox had con-
cluded the war of the rebellion, so we look
for an uprising of the great party of freedom
and the union as the news from Maine is
received in all the wide borders OF the north
and west.
Let MS have no more Dragging. Let us
settle down to solid work. We can recover
Maine and secure Indiana by persistent
work. We have had our lesson; let us
profit by it,

BELTZuooyER,s FEAST.

The democratic supply train has been
around once more and deposited within the
republican lines good quantity of first
class ammunition. The latest previous de-
posit was made by WADE HAMPTON. 1t
did good service and was by no means ex-
hausted when Captain BEITzHoovER came
along with his tip.cart and added to the
already abundant stock more of the same
kind, and of very superior quality.
York, Pennsylvania There is whore
BELTzHoovER lives, and it is historical
place. There are good many democrats
there besides BELTzHoovER, and on the
Goth day of June, 1868, deputation of
southern democrats came up and paid their
York friends visit without invitation or
notice. They were headed by aman named
EARLY, who was somewhat deficient in
politeness, but very hungry, and in want of
many articles Of useful nature He mod.
estly named several items--"2s,00 600 pounds
"of baked bread, $500 pounds sugar, 81, 600
"pounds fresh beef, 1000 pairs boots and
"shoes, 100000 in cash" and so on. This
was heavy requisition for such EARLY
and unexpected visitors, and the town au-
thorities got together in hurry to see
about it, 1t looked very much like another
intended BELsHAZzAR's feast, with invis.
ible handwriting on the wall, and shifting
OF knees and shaking, though they were
not in mood to shake hands with their
visitors BELTZHoovER was probably alb.
sent, as were good many citizens How
for the visitors, fed and clothed them and
gave them some money, and accepted in
return certificates, which remain to-day
among the town assets, and are just as good
as when they were first issued. The people
of the town will remember that feast longer
than any other local event.
Now, none of the citizens of this good
town have been able to get seats in the
United States senate, but the visitors have
been more lucky-notably General COR
DON and General WITnERs, the latter Of
whom, if not actually in the town limits,
was dangerously near; and in the senate it
has SO come to pass that these senators
have had their say affecting the interests
of people in this portion Of the state of
Pennsylvania One would naturally sup
pose that friends, visiting friends, political
friends, who had been so Hospitality enter

to a pension, they, ms ehiyalrous and noble

Unfortunately this was not the case

but It was no use. A rebel general at the

SPY entered the camp Of the South Caro-
lima democracy at the Anderson meeting last
week in the shape OF New York Times corre-
spondent. He tried to keep his presence
dark but failed, and the consequence was that
Congressman Aiken bottled himself up and
all the speakers generally drew it mild
A CORRESPONDENT of tho Atlanta CopStitu-
tton speaks the sentiments Of the average south
ern democrat as follows: But there is one
thing that will settle all this and that is the
election Of General Hancock. After that
niggors will be niggers aud white folks will be
white folks and there won't be but two sorts
Of people down here in Dixie. The native
radicals will come over TO the democrats and
the furiners will take mp their tents like the
Arabs and silently steal away"
SPEAKING Of the reputation amendment
in Arkansas, the Little Rock Gd=ette Of the 9th
instant says There will be no means of
forming any positive opinion MS to the vote on
the amendment until IL is officially counted.
Tho law requires the amendment to be adopt
cd by majority Of all the votes cast at the
election. In this county there were only
about 100 votes cast for the amendment and
200 against it, yet there we're nearly 6,5o0
votes polled. By deducting the l, 100 votes in its
favor from the total of 6,5o0 poled 1t will be
seen that the real majority in this county
against the amendment is about 5 400"
AT speech in Richmond Mr.. Wise, read
juster, said that one cause of the disn.
tcgration Of the conservative party was that
''it had become one of the most corrupt and
ballot.box stuiiing parties in the country"
This was tolerably plain talk from an old
democrat, and, warming with his subject, Mr..
Wise added that by these frauds committed by
the regular democracy John Goode, bourbon
democrat, "was elected three times, when his
best friends admitted that there was but one
honest count out OF the three" Yet" added
the speaker "Mr. Goode is one of those who
go about shouting for the honor of Virginia"
GENERAL ALBERT GALLATIN LAWRENCE,
son Of the Hon. William Beach Lawrence of
Newport, r. l., who is known not only in this
country but In Europe as an eminent iurist
and authority on international law, has come
out squarey for Garfield and Arthur. Cen
eral Lawrence's brother, the Hon. Isaac Law
renee, who was the democratic nominee for
governor a few years ago, is q vicc-presdent
of tho Hancock and English club of Newport.
1t is almost needless to add that General Law
rence's letter will do a great deal of good in
Rhode Island. The democrats are mortified

last pair Of boots which belonged to this
honest Yorkshire man, and may have had
them on when he kicked the widows petit
tion out of the back door of the senate.
This is the character of vaunted chivalry
in some places, and we hope the York dem
ocrats like it. Perhaps BELTZHoovER
would like another feast Should he have
one we advise him never again--no matter
how hungry-never again TO eat his own

THosE who are listening to Mr.. WEAvER's
denunciations of railroad and other cor
porations will doubtless be led to believe
that they have practical control Of such
business as they do, and manipulate it in
their own interests without restraint. As
regards rates of transportation this is not
true. The laws of trade operate upon even
the great trunk lines, and in spite of pools
and combinations. 1t appears that in New
York and the east generally the reduction
in local rates on freight has been steady
The roads have been forced to it by the
unvarying laws of trade. They are MS

Seven years ago the average rate for the

From the central aud western parts of the

average tate was 81 TO 80 cents, with
terminal charges additional of cents For
n year past the average rate from Chicago
has been 80 cents, while from local state
points the rate has only been 10 cents, the
roads paying the lighterage expenses of 3
cents, leaving the average net local rate
only IL cents per 100 pounds for an average
distance of 375 miles. These are the Glcts,

THE Saratoga bankers conference pro-
posed that the treasury issue silver certih-
Gates instead of continuing the issue of sill
yer coin, and also Of converting the excess
of silver beyond that needed for change
into bullion, considering this bullion as a
reserve for the silver certificates This was
coupled with the further absurd proposal
that these certificates should, in reality, be
a variable paper currency to be quoted as
near rs possible the real bullion value of
silver in the market. The London Examiner

A CORRESPONDENT of the Greenville Is.
g. Ncics suggests that there should be an
abundant display of our national flag -
during tho present campaign. "The ladies
should be requested TO mako them all
sizes for use at oll points. The flag is our
flag, and the democracy should not allow
the radical party to take possession of it
" in this state. They will disgrace it, sure"
We think this q very much-needed sug-
gestion. The only national flag probably
owned by democrat of Greenville in 1876
was that planted by crazy man named
Stokes in front of his house. 1t attracted
about as much attention as would rebel
flag in Vermont. One can travel now
through South Carolina without finding
displayed many more national flags than
would have been seen in the same districts
