CONGRESSMAN WEAVER 5 greenback res
olutions were supported by AZ per
cent. of the entire vote cast thereon
in the House, and among these votes
were 40 per cent. of the Democratic
vote in that body, and nearly 90 per
cent. of the vote from the South. This
vote is an indication that whatever
defects or faults may be found in the
present system they cannot be re-
moved by Democratic action.

done in the present Democratic con-
gress, elected on pledges of reform,

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans.
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are so composed tat obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with.
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints Of every
body, but also formidable and dangerouH
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgstives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing Il
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomei
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

THE WISCONSIN DELEGATION.

A Madison correspondent, evidently
a Grant boomer, Eliminates the fol-
lowing in a dispatch under date of
April 18th: "The activity of the
friends of Blaine has subsidized some
what, apparently throughout the State,
the active position of majority of
the Wisconsin Senators and Congress-
men for Grant having had decided
effect upon their respective follow
ing" The same correspondent says
further that lit is altogether likely
that Matt Carpenter will be compli-
mepted with the appointment of dele
gate-at-large and leader of the dele
gatien.
While we feel quite sure that Blaine
has recently lost ground in this State
we are equally certain that Grant has
not gained in Wisconsin except per-
haps among limited number of ma
chine politicians in the vicinity of
Madison, and we protest against the
assumption of the CORES pond n t
above quoted that because, forsooth!
the Wisconsin delegation in Congress
has declared for Grant such declara-
ton has had "a decided effect upon
their respective following" as being
unwarranted by facts.
Messrs. Carpenter, Cameron, Cas-
well, Hazelton, humphrey and Pound
have an mdoubted right to freely ex-
press their individual preferences in
the matter of a Presidential nomina-
ton, but their opinions and prefer
ences are entitled to no more consld-
Grafton or weight than that of hun
dreds of their humble constituents who
are intelligent observers OF current po-
litical sentiment at home while they
are at Washington. We trust that
the Republican State Convention will
not give expression to the mawkish
sentimentality of making Matt Car
penter a delegate-at-large TO the Chi
cage convention because he is a United
States Senator, unless it desires a
Grant delegations; and if it wants a
Grant delegation, why not complete
the picture by grouping aroung him
Cameron, Caswell, Hazelton, Hum
phrey and Pound and thus add to the
scenic effect We do not believe that
the Republican party of Wisconsin de-
sires the nomination of General Grant,
and hence we hope that it will leave
out Senator Carpenter and the balance
of the Wisconsin delegation in Con-
gress when the Wisconsin delegation
to the Chicago convention is made up.
