York, November 8, 1SS4.-My dear
sir; There seems to be reason to ap-
prehend design to involve, in
litigation and uncertainty, the
presidential election in this state
and perhaps elsewhere. The demo
cratic committees have no doubt of
the result of the election, and wish to
establish the exact truth in the mode
prescribed by lrw. AT the same time,
the wish is strong to spare the country
a period of agitation and excitement
We ask you, as counsel, to give such
advice and suggest such action as win
aid in the prompt and lawful ascer-
tainment of the truth. This is all we
mean ourselves, and all We shall ex-
pect of you.

Mr.. Conkling replied as follows:
New YORK, November 10.--My
Dear Sir: Your letter of the day be-
fore yesterday has been carefully
considered. 1 am in full accord with
the purposes you declare. Nothing
could be more hurtful to the state OF
New York ard the country than a
successful effort to confuse and retard
the result of the late presidential cleo
tion. The modes of the law, quietly
and honestly observed, will quickly
reveal and establish the actual truth.
To assist III assuring this is a clear
duty resting on every citizen, regard
less of his party attachments. l
am at the service of your COM
mittee for all that is in
my power in this behalf, and for all
can do to prevent and oppose any
effort to dispute, by technicality, the
verdict which has been rendered, or to
hinder or delay It's acceptance.

"An Absolute Guarantee on Prices

This bold and unqualified guarantee Is
given by Daily & Armstrong, of Angus.

strong are men who mean exactly what
they say. Their great Dry Goods EN-
porium in the new Masonic Temple is
one of the beacon lights of Augusta.
With its magnificent show windows, in
which are artistically arranged laces,
silks and other beautiful articles, its long
aisle extending from street to street,
nanked on either side by counters and
shelves loaded with the richest goods,
the Daily e. Armstrong establishment is
equal to any in Richmond, Charleston,
Savannah or New Orleans. In fact there
are very few that can compete with It
anywhere. Both members of the firm
are trained dry goods men. They bring
out not only from New York, but also
from London and Paris, the best and
handsomest goods that can be obtained
in these great centres; and they take
good care to buy nothing that is shoddy.
Their silks, in black and in colors, their
dress goods, their laces, their trimmings,
are always absolute msrvels of elegance
and beauty. Hence tits no wonder that
the Daily & Armstrong establishment is
so immensely popular.
