A VERY SINGULAR AND EXCEPTIONAL
CASE

The following details of a case is one of
the exceptional cases which we meet with
in our dispensation of Compound Oxygen,
and one that illustrates in very striking
manner the subtle and deeply searching
and active power of this new agent:
est. CLOUD, Wis, January 10th, lSS2.
"DRS. STARKEY & PALEN: Dcdr Sii;s-
believe ii to be dut" owe to sufferers
from blood and skin diseases to make a
brief statement of my case. About ten
years ago had several iAt1amed dark
spots come on both of my ankles. These
spots, when they first appeared, were of a
dark copper color, and much intlamed and
rigid. They gradually grew larger and
more troublesome, with always a sensa-
ysms of most intolerable itching. had
for several years previous to the appear
ance of these spots on my ankles been
troubled with infammatOry rheumatism.
My joints would he sometimes badly
swollen and inflamed. | had much trou-

eral knowing ones, who pronounced il a
cancer. The effects of the Compound Ok
ygen were truly wonderful. 1t worked
like a charm. In few days after COM
mencing its use, my feet began to bleach
out; the Jumps all dissolved; the skin and
hesh Of mytcet soon became soft AMI White;
the sores became less painful and soon be
gan to heal. The sores are nor all 1reH,
aud my feet and ankles are as gOOd as
new. In fact, have got a new pair of
legs; for all Of Which am indebted to
Compound Orygcn.
"Respectfully yours, ii. SPARKS"
The effect of Compound Oxygen in this
case gives a striking proof of the law gov
erning its action. 1t had no specific rela-
ton to the disease from which the patient
was suffering, and did not act directly up
on the affected parts, but, instead, infused
new vigor into all the nervous centers,
quickened all the life-forces, and restored
to healthier activity every organic form in
the body, and the result came as natural
and orderly sequence. The case is excep-
tional only in the character of the disease,
not in its cure by Compound Oxygen.

Mr.. Tilden Declines,

Through Mr.. Daniel Manning, the
Chairman of the New York Democratic
State Committee, Mr.. Tilden has given
to the country a manly and statesman
like letter, in which he makes declara-
ton that he will not accept a second
nomination for President. The letter
appears in this issue, and will be read
with much interest by Democrats es-
pecially.
The letter was received in this COM
munity with feelings of regret by the
Democrats, with here and there an ex-
ception. The Democracy had looked
upon Mr.. Tilden as already their stand
ard bearer in this campaign, and many
are loath to take his letter as final
But there remains no doubt but that
Mr.. Tilden has declined being candi-
date, as the following telegram from
Mr.. Manning in answer to a query as
to whether Mr.. Tilden's declination
was absolute will show:
'"Tilden's letter means what it saws.
His declination is absolute. Under no
circumstances will he be a candidate,
DANIEL MANNING,
Chairman New York Democratic Com
mittee."
We were in hopes that the sage of
Gramarcy Park would consent to be-
come the standard bearer of the Democ-
racy this fall, but as he SO positively re-
fuses, the party will have to look farther
for a suitable candidate. There are
many illustrious and honest names to
choose from, and it is hardly probable
the party can make a weak selection.
Give us Bayard, Thurman, Cleveland,
Payne, Mcdonald, and companion
from among such names as Slocum,
Carlisle, Morrison, Flower, and
victory will fly to the standard of De-

Supreme judge.

The name of Hon. Charles d. Martin,
of Lancaster, Ohio, at present one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court Com
mission, will be presented to the Demo-
cratic State Convention for the nomina-
tion of Supreme Judge. Judge Martin
is well located in section of the State
entitled to recognition, and the fact that
he was appointed to his present high
judicial position by Gov. Foster from
the Democratic party when Foster had
no political friends to reward, is as good
an endorsement of his fitness as can
well be furnished.

LAST winter a good staunch old
bloody shirt Republican, and who for
long time held the position of appoint
ment clerk in the U. S. Treasury, under
Sherman, while in conversation with
present employe of the NORTHWEST,
said that John A. Logan was one of the
most radically mean men who ever
entered any one of the departments of
the national government. Said he:
"If that cursed John Logan came into
the department with twelve men
whom he wanted appointed to some
petty clerkship, and eleven of them
should be successful and the twelfth
one fail, old Black Jack would tear his
hair and condemn every officer in the
department to eternal torment because
his twelfth friend was not appointed
even to the exclusion of some crippled
soldier, and if he should be nominated
for the Presidency | would be sorely
tempted to throw the influence of my
paper (he is Western editor) to the
Democrats. u" John A. is the fellow
who is expected to catch soldier votes
with his war record, he is the man
whom the crippled soldier is expected
to vote for, for the Vice Presidency.
The above are the sentiments ofa soldier
whose left arm lies buried on the fields

HERE is what Mr.. Blaine said about
Mr.. Conkling in their celebrated debate
in congress:
"The contempt of that large minded
gentleman (Mr. Roscoe Conkling) is so
willing; his naughty disdain, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic, super
eminent, overpowering turkey gobbler
strut has been so crushing to myself
and all the members of this house, that
l know it was an act of the greatest
temerity for me to venture upon a
controversy with him. But sir, Iknow
who is responsible for all this. I know
that within the last five weeks, as mem-
bers of the house will recollect, an extra
strut has characterized the gentlemans
bearing. 1t is not his fault. 1t is the
fault of another. That gifted and
satirical writer, Theodore Tilton, of the
New York Independent, spent some
weeks recently in this city. His letters
published in that paper embraced, with
many serious statements, little jocose-
satire, a part of which was the state
ment that the mantle of the late Winter
Davis had fallen upon the member
from New York (Roscoe Conkling.)
The gentleman took it seriously, and it
has given his strut additional prompos-
ity. The resemblance is great. 1t is
striking. Hyperion to Satyr, Thersites
to Hercules, mud to marble, dung-hill
to diamond, singed cat to Bengal
Tiger, whining puppy to a roaring
liOn!"
Mr.. Conkling then styled Mr.. Blaine
as "frivolously impertinent fellow"
and from that day to this has never
spoken to him. Conkling has signified
his intention to oppose Blaine and
Logan and will do all in his power to
defeat them. 1t is thought he will take
the stump in opposition.

Congressional.

We, in common with most OsteverybOdy,
were very much surprised last Friday
to learn that the Hon. :. NJ. Heller had
withdrawn from the Congressional
campaign. The announcement was re-
ceived with astOnishment by his friends,
and with but few exceptions our citi-
zens regretted his declination. But Mr..
Heller's withdrawal does not leave
Henry county without a candidate.
Judge David Meekison has announced
himself as i'm the field, and although the
campaign is near a close, a vigorous
fight will be inaugurated by him and
his friends to secure his nomination.
Henry county should and will give Mr..
MeekisOn its undivided support, and as
this county is clearly entitled to the
nominee we hope for his success.
Judge Meekison, while he may not
be personally known by all throughout
the district, is well known by reputa-
tion. He is still young man, but he
has held several positions of honor i'm
the gift of his county. He creditably
served two terms as Prosecuting Attor-
ney, and is now candidate for his Sec
ond term as Probate Judge, an Office he
has filled acceptably to all citizens, re-
gardless of party ties. Judge Meekison
is honest and has the qualifications for
a working member of Congress
if the people of the district seem inclin-
ed to give him the nomination, for
is equivalent to an election
in this district.

NAPOLEON, o., June l6, 1884.
To my friends in the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict:
At the suggestion and request of
many of my friends in this district, |
consented some weeks ago to become a
candidate for Congress. | have made
partial canvass of the district and
from my intercourse with leading DEM
ocrats in the different counties, found
a strong feeling that Hon. w. ID. Hill
should be entitled to denomination as
an endorsement for the gallant fight he
made two years ago in district claimed
by the Republicans and in which he
won a well earned victory.
And in the meantime | have also
learned that to run politics and business
in connection would not make success
full co-partnership. My large business
interests at this time being paramount
to that of political preferment, my
name will not be presented to the Con-
vention at Ottawa, June 26. To those
friends whose support / have so faith
fully received, l return my most CRATE
full Acknowledgements.

of Antietam, and who, since the war,
has had ample opportunity to test John
A. Logan's love for the soldier. Logan's
love for the soldier is bounded by his
personal interests outside of which no
soldier need apply.
