DIR. Felizet. BY the use of the Faucher
tube introduced through the mouth. the
stomach was cleansed prior to the novel
operation, which prevented the risk OF
peritonitis. An incision was then made

pKEpARINa Foa THE BATTLE.

1t is one day less than two weeks before
the people of Shelby will be called upon to
elect their county officers. The Republicans
are marching and counter-marehing with
the view of consolidating their strength.
But it seems impossible 10 reconcile the an
tagonisms between the Federal ring and the
ring that opposes it. There is break in
the Ievee almost every day. So sosn as one
crevasse is stopped the wafer pours through
another. The warning factions are now con-
fronting each other in bitter hate and
swear by everything sacred and profaue that
they will not yield. The Democrats should
not be lnlled into conscious security by these
divisions for the cohesive power OF public
plumber works marvellous changes, andi on
the day Of election the Republicans will
be united and lovingly voting the same ticket.
The Federal ring has the money and talent
of the Republican party, and they will in
this election, as in others, whip into the
traces the Independents who dare 10 disobey
thoir ordere. The Democrat who expects sue
cess ON account of the divisions in the Re-
publican party is most egregiously mistaken.
and he must undeceive himself by preparing
for labor from now until the Sd
of August. No one doubts the succesg
Of the Democratic ticket, but vigilance
il the price of victory, and every Democrat
should work as though the contest was
doubtful. There is not single tainted
name on the ticket. Every man is worthy
the support of the taxpaying people OF
Shelby county, and we are reioiced to learn
that the party in every part of the county is
on the ticket. From present
indications there will be but little scratching
on the day of election. The Democrats will
vote the straight ticket.

desert his duty 10 further his own interests,
must of itself commend him favorably to
the considerable and fair-minded voter.
1t should be remembered that the Demo
cratic standard-bearer TO be successful in this
congressional district, must achieve victory
over the administration and It's immense
patronage brought into conflict with the
freedom of the ele0tion we'll as over the
combined vote of the Republicans, the Green
hackers and the Independents. 10 this con-
test the prestige OF Manning's previous vic
tories would prove az important factor. Six
years ago he vanquished the Republicans
under the lead of the gallant and talented
Walton; four years ago the same party under
the lead of the untiring and voluble Amscker,
and two years ago he carried the district by
majority over the united votes Of Buchanan,
the Republican, and the eloquent Harris,
the Greenbacker. Now, why exchange this
victorious leader for a new and untried
standard-bearer? A VOTER.
