What VIII the victory Mean,

Under this heading, the New
York Herald, which is, and has
been, a strong pro-Conkling organ,
says:
"The Senatorial fght Of Albany. is
n in which the entire nation has
reason to be interested and the people
are naturally asking, no matter which
Of the several parties and factions
may win, What will the victory
amount tor Should the administration
wing Of the Republicans place new
men in the seats vacated by Measrs.
Conkling and Plat the victory will be
gained by corporations 9 the
people,"
1t declares that although Senators
and Assembly men may be instruct
ed to vote against Conkling and
Platt, and no matter how yirtuous
may be the hopes of the indepen-
dent faction of the Republican par
ty, it will not be a justification for
such action. 1t further says:
The simple fact that the public never
| will be allowed to lose sight OF, in case
anti .Conkling republicans are sent to
the Senate, will be that the people of
the empire State, as represented in the
national Senate chamber, will be the
supporters OF the few against the
many, the corporation against the in-
dividual. Should the republican fami-
ly fight become so cor that the
democrats will be enabled to change
the politics of New York's Senatorial
delegation the victory will probably
mean that q Democratic President will
be elected in 1884. Should Messrs.
Conkljng and Plat be returned, how~
ever. ahe .pictorySweuld undoubtedly
be ono of Principle Ff prejudice. and
it would therefore be entitled to rev
spect for rs own sake. If the Sena-
tors who have resigned are sent back to
their seats the State and the nation
will understand that the unity of the
party and regard for distinguished SER
vices rendered in the days when the
republican party was held together by
political principle instead of prospec-
tive plumber, are of mere consequence
than the obstinate cOnceit OF O nominal
President or the ambitions and preju~
dices of q Cabinet officer who pretends
to serve in order that he may rule.
Between these three signifcances OF
victory the public will eventually he
compelled to choose. Perhaps one or
another of the corrupting influences
that are being most industrious)y Ised
at Albany may lead to a coalition be-
tween the Democrats and one wing OF
the Republicans, but ven in such
case the meaning Of the victory would
still be restricted to n of the three
definitions we have given. The choice
must be made between principle, in
creased corruption and Democratic as
tendency"
This is a view from the Conkling
standpoint. Should the family
quarrel eliminate in Democratic as.
tendency it would be a blessing to
the country. That Conkling should
be retired to tue shades of private
life is devoutly to be wished, and
should this New York quarrel be
the inception to a complete disinte-
grafton of the Republican party.
and the restoration of the Democ-
racy to the control of every branch
of the Government, we may look fol-
determines, solid prosperity and an
honest administration of affairs.

Unfortunates who are seeking to renew

they been deceived by the advertisements
of worthless compounds. that many are
discouraged, and refuse to believe any
thing they read in the papers. Therefore,
the best advertisement o. a really good
ms,aicine the reputstiohIs has asined in
plnCes where it is being Sold. No other
remedy ever discovered has fown ~ rap
idly in public favor as thai hue medicinal
tonic called Browns Iron Filters. In To-
calities where its extraordinary merits
have become fully known and realized by
those who kave been in iii-health, the sale
is unYfecedentcd. One druggist lin our
city reports the sale of 238 bottles in one
week. 1t is. indeed, wonderful, health
giving, lfe-saving preparation. 1t sooth-
ing and refreshing in its effect, and stength.
ems every part of the body, and creates

the system is almost destroyed by the many
hurtful cathartics 50 commonly used.

several winters ago at the Ohio Medical
College of Cincinnati, o.. There l was
taught that Iron is prominent element in
the physical organism Of mankind, with
out 1t life is an impossibility. A vast per-
centage of the diseases and premature
deaths to which the race is subject, is caus-
ed, or at least made possible by weaken.
ing of the body in consequence of a lack
of Iron in the blood Having suffered
from ill-health, poor digestion, aud urinary
troubles ever since recovered from typhoid
fever, determined to give Iron a trial.
From investigation learned that Browns
Iron Bitters were the best, and chat they
did not blacken the teeth. SO / concluded
to make use of them. They have acted
