OF the result of the municipal election
in Portland the Press of that city says
This is great and gratifying victory and
is AN assurance to the people of the State
and the country that the chief city of Maine
is staunchly aud enthusiastically on the
side OF honest and honorable administra-
ton of public affairs. 1t Is a republican
success. for although, ~ always happens
in municipal elections. some men of both
parties vote for the candidates of the other
for other than partisan considerations. the
number OF democrats who voted for Mr..

cratic nominee. and both received the par
ty support rs strictly As ever happens in

The election in Kansas to choose n sue
cessor to the seat in the House made va
cant by the death of Mr.. Haskell, turned
upon the issue of free trade or protection.
The result was that the democratic free
trader was defeated. the republican pro-
tectionist being elected over him by a
majority of from 1900 to 5000 votes.
Chairman Morrison and his colleagues
felt sure OF victory. and the result is,
therefore. an unexpected and grievous
disappointment to them. In 1882 Haskell
received q. col votes. the democratic can

M8lRrlal Poison.

ROME, Ca, May 90, 1s83.-With the
hope that it will reach the eyes of other
sufferers, desire to make statement
of my case and my wonderful rescue
frCm death from malarial blood poison
by the use of the great S. S. S. (Swift's
Specifc).
In 1880 I came from the North k
take charge of the gas works in Rome
as uperintendent. and after the ever
flow, which occurred In the spring fol.
lowing, [ was very much exposed to
malarial poison, and In 1882 found my
blood so contaminated with the poison
that was forced to give up business.
i was treated by the Rome physicians
without relief, they advising me to 60
North, which 1 did. The doctors North
told me that my only hope was to re-
turn to the milder climate, and ac-
cordingly came back to Rome, com.
petely broken down and nearly q
skeleton. My trouble finally deter.
mined in an abscess of the liver, and
nearly every one (myself included)
thought was doomed to die within a
few days. In this condition I was ad-
vised by friend to take Swift's Spe-
Citic. and | took IL just as q drowning
man would catch at a straw, but as
scon as my system got under the influ-
encs of the remedy, the abscess came to
a point and burst, passing Of without
pain. In fifteen days after this was
up at my work, and have since enjoyed
excellent health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison
should take Swift's Specific.
