The blind orator, W. H. West. who assis-
ted in nominating Mr.. Blaine at Chicago, has
written letter asking to be permitted TO aid

mately knew Rev. J. H Brown, in whose
family Mrs Blaine resided and in whose
seminary she was a teacher in the city of
Lexington Mr.. Blaine and myself were
contemporaneous pedagogues in Kentucky
in lS47 and 1913. If you desire any assist
ance in the prosecution of the infamous cal
jimmy published by the Sentinel against MIR.

execration of mankind, and whip IN every
honest hand TO lash the rascal naked through
the world"

that in some counties of the State this party

ceded over ten to twelve thousand votes in
the State, so that no material losses TO the
republican party will result as they have had
nearly that number in recent elections.

GOVERNOR HoADLBY

in the short time he has been in Office as a
democrat has succeeded in estranging verv
large element of his party from himself; and
his great ambition to obtain the nomination
for the Presidency or Vice Presidency, led
him into embarrassing alliances with the
"coal oil gang" which fact must sooner or
later relegate him to private life. Really,
Gov. Hoadley is a much overestimated man.
Congressman Converse, whose home is in
this CITY, has just met defeat fer renOmina-
ton at the hands of his psrtv-as a reward.
no doubt. for the conspicuous part he took to
have the duty on wool restored-and a radical
free trader has received the nomination to
succeed him. Democratic statesmen in our
State, as in others. are learning, as has Sem
ator Pendleton and Congressman Converse.
that it is neither profitable or popular to
champion measures so at variance with DEM
ocratic doctrines as civil service reform and
protection. However, we see in the desperate
effort now being made by that radical free
trader, Frank Hurd, for denomination. and
the probability of his defeat. that his constit-
uents are awakening to the fact that thew
have been most thoroughly mistaken in send
ing such a representative to Congress. in the
past.

supplies in such to take all possible sd

| of paper and other stock on hand.
We are located here In the extreme East. but West

cally the same IS they would from New York or

same quality OF books, and we caution all that il
they listen to those who say they can, expectations
will not be fulfilled.
A Few Reasons Why the Augusta, Mains,
| Edition WIN Outsell All Others
| Ten TO One.
Ist Because ii is the authentic edition published
from Augusta, the home of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge of his
whole life.
3D. Because Mr. Blaine and his friends cooperat.
ed WITT the author and publishers in order that the
work might be most complete and correct IN all
particulars.
3D. Because Col. Conwell is better fitted for writ
/ ing such volume than any other man in America ,
all his earnestness, knowledge. and ability will be
/ found in the volume.
4th. Because in its manufacture ii is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
price that il is sold for. Let no one think of work
/ ing for any other edition; never do for dollar
what you can just well receive $1,000 for; you can
sell ten books OF the Augusta edition where yol
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because our volume is pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes in the
| life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
| illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life of the distinguished statesman and is
familiar with the of the boy and youth, from
the statements OF those still living there, who knew
him then this is intensely interesting portion Of
| the volume.
TERRITORY.
In campaign business ii is best that every agent be
entirely unrestricted. We make restrictions or
limitations whatever. But the country Is so vast
that agents will not conflict where the best
| canvass Is made.
New Beginners
One and all, who take agencies and actively work
for the authentic Augusta Edition of the Life of
Hon. james q. Blaine, will close the campaign with
handsome sum in profits. Start at once and you
will meet with great reward.
