For United s ates Senator.

AS all other Republican newspapers
have nominated candidates for the Uni
ted States Senate, why should the Re
publican be bashful; especially when il
is able to name one superior in every
respect to any yet proposed? Men have
been brought out for this Office who
are known only to district or State
and who have served but as governors,
congressman, Legislators and the like
Shall we withhold the name of one who
towers above all these in everything
that is commanding among men? In
him we have poet, philosopher ARD
sage; statesman and warrior; farmer,
mechanic, merchant, Justice ofthe peace;
member of the assembly, congressman,
senator; elector in every State in The
Union and member of congress from a
dozen districts, if we search far enough
into the past; bis name embellishes the
page of history and appropriates more
space in the city directory than any
other man in the universe we hardly
need say that we refer to John Smith.
Who is the man who left fame and for
tune in Europe, and decked with med
ais till he could hardly walk, for his
services in Staying Turks, came to
America and, in partnership with Poca-
hontas, raised all the first families OF
Virginia? John Smith! Who stood
among the head Of medical literature
in America for long time, and presided
over the Oldest College of the old Do
minion? Who, but John Smith? Who
was the first great ecclesiastical mind
to bring science and religion into bar
monv, and make the one prove the 9TH
err! Who but John SMITH In all the
variations of his name, whether Smith
or Smithc or Smyth or Smythe or
Smeyth or Smeiyth or any other con-
tortionary orthography he may have
adopted to suit his whim or crafty the
vanity of his wife, we find him always
the same. Whether digging on the
canal, carrying a hod, plowing the
briny deep or string up the fallow
ground; in the various enterprises OF
private life, or as public servant, we
find every one of him always walking
in the paths of honor. John Smith is
man among men. He is more nu-
merous than any other living man.
He cast more votes for Garfield and
Arthur, subscribed more money for
campaign expenses, made a longer
torchlight procession, carried more
lamps, wore more capes, chouted loud
er and whooped her up among the boy9
to better advantage than any other
man in America, and he ought to be
made United States Senator. We there
fore nominate him and second the mo-
ton. The only drawback about it, and
a matter which may cause objection to
him in some localities, is. that when
Smith beat out the Pasba's brains with
a fail, be fed to Russian garrison on
the "Don." Really this has 20 refer
ence to Don Cameron and we hope il
will not be used against Smith

"You do not tell me that your husband is up

hYcs, indeed do" said Mrs. Benjamin to her
enquiring neighbor" and that too when we
had foolishy paid eighty five dollars IN doctors
bi Is and prescriptions. and after he had been
given !. . by his physicians TO die. Now my
husband feels s. yell as ever, entirely cured by
this excellent Tonic" And rapy sick man
