 The New York Tribune says:
 stAn analysis of the vote shows that of the votes cast, 95 were from the Solid South" and 93 from the North and West Of the 95 Southern votes MT Carlisle received 72, MT Randall 19 and MT Cox 4. In other words three-fourths of the "Solid South" went for the can- didate of the ''Sol1d South" and he received only 32 votes besides. North of the Potomac and east of the Allegha- nies he received only one vote, that of MT Morse of Massachusetts. The four votes MT Cox received in the South were one from Arkansas, two from Missouri and one from North Carolina.

No time like the present. If you have cold get bottle of potaska at once and cure it. Public speakers en- dorse it.
 "When will hear the village belle?" She caught cold and could not get po- taska, so she died. Now you will hear the village (church)bell.
 He got his feet wet and caught bad cold. He was advised to try potaska. He did and was cured. He now says he owes his life to potaska.
