REPUBLICANS.
Senator Warren Miller, known more
familiarly as "Wood- Pulp Miller of
Herkimer New York, was born in Os-
wego County, that State, August 18th,
1888, and is therefore in his forty
sixth year He graduated at Union
College in 1860, and then became
teacher in the Fort Edward Collegiate
Institute, but when the war broke out,
in 1861, he enlisted as a private in the
Fifth New York Cavalry. He served
with conspicuous bravery in the Shen-
andoah Valley being promoted TO Ser
geant-Major and Lieutenant. AT the
battle of Winchester he was taken
prisoner, but was finally exchanged
after the close of the rebellion. Mr..
Miller engaged in farming and became
the owner of extensive paper mills
in which enterprise he is still engaged.
He was a delegate to the National Re-
publican Convention in Philadelphia,
in 1872, and in 1874 was elected to the
New York Legislature, serving two
terms.
Mr.. Miller then entered National pol
itics and was elected as representa-
tive to the Fcrty.sixth Congress and
was returned to the Forty-seventh. In
1881, when Conkling and Platt resign
ed their seats in the Senate, Mr.. Miller
was chosen by the New York Assem-
bly, to succeed Thomas G. Plat and
took his seat October 1lth, in the same
year. His term of Office does not ex-
pire until the 3rd of March, 1887.
Senator, Miller by his recent manip-
ulation of the Republican caucus of
the New York Legislature securing the
election by the Lower House, of Mr..
Sheard as its speaker, has won for him
self the sudden reputation as being the
leader of the New York Republicans
and the well-known fact that the Sena-
tor is antagonistic to the present ad-
ministration OF Arthur gives especial
significance to his political controlling
power in his State as indicating that he
will become prominent factor in die
tating against Arthur's denomination
at Chicago next June.
Mr.. Miller is a man of splendid
physical and mental strenth, rand pos
sesses that personal magnetism which
wins the lasting friendship of those
with whom he comes in intimate con-
tact

was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, was 10th to

the progress Of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-

and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs Of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted

TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively net injurious.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fve hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. -, ~ ,.,,,

UabIe residence in Boston were bequeath-

Chandler yesterday characterized the
story that Capt. Perkins had resigned
from the navy to look after his estates as
untrue, and said that he had been order

Captain applied for one years leave, with
view of resigning at the end of the
year. The department, however, dechr-
ed to grant the request as he had been
away from duty for two years. The Sec
retary said the Captain was one of the

rank demagOgy with which any respec-
table party ever entered a national cam
pai5n.
Toe va2deness and confusion of this
Mosaic plstform would be ludicrous if it
Were not so distressing 1t is not a de

for votes, an attempt to promise every
thing to everybody-except those who
OILY want good government and a wise

the Platform contains only words.

The platform insists upon a tariff mot

avowed four years ago, and which four

Congress- have been striving to embody
