Kidney Complaint Among Both Sexes and

There is something startling in the rapid

causes peculiar to certain classes tend to pro-
duce and aggraVate these troubles as, for eX-

Importance To you or to some one whom you

A Record of Shame.

Democrats may vote their ticket from
| force of habit and because it is their nar
ture to do so. Republicans who are
thinking of voting for Mr.. Cleveland
ought at least to do one thing before
reaching IA final decision. That one thing
is to examine the record of the Demo-
cratic party for twenty-five years and
see If they can discover single meas+
ure OF act Of public policy during that
period which has been creditable. If
they study the record they will not find
one honest or decent thing to put down
| to the credit of the Democratic party
On the contrary, they will have no diff
Guilty in proving that throughout that
long period the Democratic party has
been on the wrong side of every public
question that has arisen.
During the war Democracy implied
treason and rebellion at the South, and
sneaking COpperheadism at the North
Twenty years ago it declared the war to
be failure, and was ready to make IA
craven peace on any terms. IL stood in
the way of the abolition of slavery and
of the enfranchisement of race. 1t OBJ
Structed reconstruction, and sought to
cheat the Union out of the practical re-
suits of the war. 1t attempted to pull
down the National banks, to food the
country with irredeemable currency, and
to break the sacred pledge of National
honor involved in the resumption OF
specie payments. 1t organized lawless
bands of white desperadOes and stole
away the civil rights of the blacks. 1t
encouraged intimidation and ballot box
pollution and converted the new South
into pocket borough which might al
ways be at its disposal. 1t plotted against
every industry of the country and sought
to reduce all classes of wOrkingmen to
the level of European pauper labor.
1t is one long record of blunders and
I-crimes. What offsetts are placed TO the
credit of Democracy as bankrupt in
morals as in patriotism? Let recreant
Republicans lind at least one creditable
thing which the Democrats have done in
twenty-five years. If they cannot do it,
let them come back where they belong.
Why should they be trading on the bad
character of the Democratic party ?-N.

DR. SToRRs, unlike Mr.. Bsecher, cam
not regard Governor Cleveland's offenses
against chastity as veDial or barred by
the statute of limitations. In his opin-
ion it would be "a grave offense against
the family, against the public honor for
ehaste womanhood, against the divine
law of purity, against the essential well
fare of the state to contribute to elevate
to the highest Office in the gift of the
people man with loose woman in his
train and an ;llegitimate son." Such a
course, he holds, would make the nation
at large, if not the positive patron of
lewduess, at least the careless apologist
for it." Like nearly all the ministers of
