THE FACTS IN THE CASE The
Prohibitionists simply supported
their party nominees, as Republi-
cans and Democrats supported
theirs. prohibltionsts have no
cause to rejoice or weep because
one of the old liquor.license parties
defeated the other. The time is
near at hand when the question
of Prohibition will have to be de-
cided on its merits, and the license
elements of the old parties had bet
ter be cultivating friendly rela-
tions, for they will have to pool
their issues 10 order to meet it

never have anything more to do
with prohibition, knew as much as
some other people know they
would pursue q very different
policy. 1t may be that a third
party is desired by these persons.
If SO it would be better to make it
known soon. The land is before
the Temperance people and there
is room for large effort. This
work of prohibition must 60 on in
some way until victory is ac-
hieved.

Narrow Margin.

The official State canvass in
New York shows that the differ
ence between the highest Blaine
electors and the highest Cleveland
electors is 1919 votes, while the
difference between the highest
Blaine electors and the lowest
Cleveland electors is 1889. Be-
tween the two lowest electors on
both tickets the difference is 1877.
On such narrow margin does the
political control of the National
Government turn.

Attention, Doctors.

Everybody knows that the life of the
average physician is hard one. He is
often compelled to ride great distances
through mud and rain for merely nom-
inal fee. 1t is not fit nor proper for US to
condemn any physician for his work, but
we do assert that his practice can be made
easier, and he can effect more cures by
the proper and judicious use of PERUNA.
Ii he will only add this great remedy to
his list of ofmedicines he will find that his
usefulness will be greatly increased. Full
direction for its use will be found in the
Ills Of Life" and he should at once pro-
cure this valuable book.
N. J. Wright, Business Agent Evening
Herald, Erie, Pa, says: "DR. HART
MANI can not but feel it my duty to
express to you my thanks for the great
benefit received from the use of your
medicines, PERUNA and MANALIN.
One bottle Of each placed me square on
my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed, and then
left me lame and crippled. Three days
from the commencement Of the use Of
your remedies the cane was dispensed
with, and in week was perfectly WELL"
Mrs. Ellen Maynard, Oswego, Potter
county, Pa, writes: "DR. HARTMAN,
Columbus, o. The small ulcers arc all
healed, and the two large ones are not
more than half rs large as they were. l
am feeling quite we'll. The people say
your PERUNA and MANALIN are doing n
miracle. do not take nearly SO much
opium as / did before"
Joseph Thomas, East Brady, Pa,
writes az have used your PERuNA and
MANALIN with good results. In the year
of 1880 was so bad that could scarcely
walk. I used PERuNA and MANALIN,
and am now as healthy as / have ever
= been. / have also recommended it to
several parties, and they have been much
benefited by it."
Mr.. c. II. Harris, New Vienna, Ohio.
writes: sour little girl was paralyzed
at thirteen months old, and we resorted
to everything we could hear of for relief,
but she appeared to get but little better.
Hearing of PERUNA we concluded to try
it, and will say it has done her great
deal Of good the first bottle apparently
giving aid and relief. We have used it for
NERVOUSNESS in other cases on other per-
sons and found it success. For general
debility, and in fact for any disease, we
don't think anything else can at all COM
pare with it. We have used forty or fifty
bottles, and our house is never without
PERuNA. Our little girl is now eight
years old, and can run any place, was for
four years helpless. PERUNA cured her."

NeW lIOrK IeIeSrdIu, Oct' o
1t is by no means an Insignificant fact
that wherever we begin in an investiga-
tion Of Blaine's public lite we necessarily
end in some Aagrant falsehood. The
campaign consists largely OF three pro-
cedures, first, an accusation, second, Mr..
Blaine's formal denial, and third, conelu-
,sive proof that the accusation was we'll
founded. We have gone over this ground
so MANY times that it is getting TO be

his audience by his abuse Of rHE SPIRIT

hurt considerably. Our exposure nf his

cF The desperation Of the men who
have been quartered on the public treas
ury for twenty-five years can hardly be
over-estimated. They will not hesitate
at anything that seems practicable. They
have been holding their places for nearly
eight years by fraud, and have been in
ured to any rascality by which they may
hold on 10 the public purse. The men who
were principals in the frauds OF 1876 and
1880 have oil been richly rewarded
Frend is a. a premium in the Republican
management, and II it carries the Presi-
dential election once moIe our present
form of Government will receive shock
