Purity the Blood

AT no other season is the system so susceptible
to the beneficial effects Of reliable tonic and
invigorant. The impure state Of the blood, the
deranged digestion, and the weak condition of the
body caused by its long battle with the cold,
wintry blasts, all call for the reyying, regulating
and restoring influences so happily and effectively
combined in Hoods sarsaparilla.
al have been suffering with disorder of the
blood, and with boils breaking out on my body,
which caused me great annoyance. I took one
bottle of Hoods Sarsaparila and am glad to say
am entirely well.n G. w TRUMP. Canton. Ohio.

Yesterday noon Mr.. and Mrs. Emery from

station, in this city, on their way to Gray. Mr.
Emery told his wife to wait few moments
while he went on an errand. He was not
gone ten minutes when he returned to find his
wife missing. Search was made in every
direction but no trace of the lady could be
found. She is about 45 years of age, 5 feet z
inches tall, plump and her hair is streaked
with gray. She had on dark dress aud stone

Scandals About Candidates,

LE
A correspondent in Washington
informs us that there is a person who
can expose ga scandal about Blaine to
offset the one about Cleveland" This
scandal, we are further instructed, re-
lates to some alleged improper adj
venture or adventures with a woman
or with women.
We beg to decline. We are not in
the scandal business. We do not seek
for the kind OF information which is
proposed, whether Id relates to Mr..
Blaine or Mr. Cleveland or Mr.. St.
John, or any other of the candidates.
Not that we do not deem the per-
sonal character of a candidate q suit
able matter for inquiry and comment.
If IL man is immoral in his life, If he
has deceived and betrayed women, OF
abandoned his illegitimate children
he is a wretch who ought not TO be
tolerated, much less promoted to
stations of Official trust. If the facts
m established that q candidate has
been guilty of these things, ,~io5fecent
citizen ought TO give him his suffrage,
no matter how great his political
ability or how successful he NAV have
been in performing the duties of any
public post.
But these stories that start up in the
course of a canvass, or are brought
out just before an election, when there
is no possibility offulIy Investigating
them and ascertaining whether they
rest upon a solid foundation or not,
cannot have a moments influence With
intelligent men. IfMr. Blaine orMr.
Cleveland had been guilty of such
things, it is n cafe conclusion that the
facts would not have remained in OBJ

The mud singing by the Repub-
lican press has begun in earnest
The Buffalo Telegraph has started
the ball BY publishing a three col
umn onslaught upon Mr.. Cleveland
which beats anything in the way of
campaign slauder that the country
has seen since the days of General
Jack on, when that old hero was
made the subject of the meanest vftu-
peration ever hurled at any Presi=

ed the vile assaults upon his private
character, and was triumphantly
elected, but his wife was driven bro
ken-hearted to her grave. Mr.. Cieve
land has been assaiIed in the Buffalo
Telegraph in the most outrageous
and indecent manner and some Of the
worst offenses in the catalogue of
crime and immortality are charged TO
him. These, vile calumnies are SO
improbable that some of the more
decent Republican papers refuse to
publish them. The same dirty scan
dals were retailed when Mr.. Cleve-
land ran for Mayor of Buffalo and
again when he ran for Governor, but
the effect of this yillainous defama-
tion was only to increase his MAORI
ty. The Buffalo paper which now
revamps these stale lies is an organ
of the slums of Buffalo and a sheet
utterly without character. Such as
saults from such a source will react
and do infinitely more damage to the
party that inyents and circulates
them than they can possibly injure

In Know-Nothing times, when
James G. Blaine was editor of the
Kennebec Journal, printed at Au-
gusta, Maine, he was a violent and
offensive preacher of the doctrine of
the dark-lantern oligarchy. Here is
an extract from one of Blaine's edi-
torials in the Journal every Irishman
should hold in reserve to meet the
"taffy' just now doled out to them
on all occasions by the Blaineites.
Said Mr.. Blaine:
We need stringent laws to regulate
the Irish immigration from Europe.
If the present abuses are not correct
ed, and corrected speedily, we shall
become worse than Botany Bay; in
fact, we are worse now, for more
Irish reach here in a single year than
were ever transported to the penal
colonies in ten years. And these con-
victs aud felons have hardly got our
dust upon their feet before they are
allowed to vote and control u cleo
lions. And yet, with these facts, plain
as the light, d~emagogues will tell us
that our European immigration is
nothing but a benefit to us. We hope,
we sincerely believe, the day is not
far distant that this whole subject will
be impartia.ly reviewed by the law
hmaking power, and then the just and
honorable pride of being nh American
citizen will suffer no blush from hav-
ing our paternal rights bestowed in
full equality upon those who are not
of our household.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-08-07

State Senator John F. Andrews,
of Massachusetts, a son of Governor
Andrews, and who was a delegate to
the Republican Convention at Chi
cago, declares that his name was
used without his consent as a vice.
president of the Blaine meeting in
Boston. lie tells an interviewer that
not only will he not vote for Blame
but that he will vote for Cleveland.
He could see no reason for his con-
tinuing in O party led by men like
Powell Clayton and Steve Elkins.
The party no longer has anything
to offer to honest men. He thought
the continued ascendency of the Re
publican party would be a bad thing
for the country. and he should there
fore vote against it. So say many
others.

Senator James G. Fair, of Nevada,
in a recent interview said that the
strength Of Blaine in the West is
much overestimated by the people in
the Eastern States. "Yon may put
California and Nevada down for
Cleveland and Hendricks beyond a
doubt said Mr.. Fair: sand it is my
impression that they will carry other
States in the West

The campaign of SANDER against
Gov. Cleveland has about spent it,
self. At least one hundred lies have
been put in circulation touching the
bills that he has signed or refused to
sign, as Chief Executive of New York.
1t has taken some time to produce
the records but the liars are on the
retreat. The assault upon the Gov
errors private character, made by a
few disreputable and sensational
newspapers, is based upon a scandal
that was exploded two years ago.
The reaction is now setting in and
Grover Cleveland will grow and in
crease from this day until the 4th of
November.
