taken before" j. Stephens, Hazel Green

to Athlophoros is that it cures where other
remedies fail. What an amount of money

POLITICAL POINTS.

Buffalo Sunday Times.-Each party should
60 into the contest and prepare to go into if
with as clear a record as political party can
have, and having done so the old tradition
will be followed-as goes New York SO will
go the Union.
San Francisco CaN-Should Mr.. Tilden be
nominated by the convention, in all proba-
bility he would accept, and perhaps he would
be as likely to be elected as any one of the
numerous aspirants whose availability is SO
freely canvassed.
Detroit Free Press.-It is curious that Lo-
gan and Blaine think that by uniting with
each other they can add to each others
strength. They are like two oxen about to
cross weak bridge. Yoke them together
and the bridge will break in two.
Denver Meacs.-Speaker Carlisle must have
some spite against Colorado, or he would not
permit Belford to talk so much. Belford is
a blatherslite and his maudlin babblings
simply tend to bring his constituency into
disrepute before congress and the country.
Selma (Ala) 1imes.-f Mr. Tilden is really
a candidate both Mr.. Dana and Mr.. Waiter
son have been engaged in using great news
papers to trick the public. If he wants to be
President, then some of his personal friends
have done some colossal lying.
Toledo CO., Blade. Randall is certainly in
the presidential fight. He is arranging his
headquarters in Chicago, and thinks he
will enter the convention with the solid vote
of Pennsylvania behind him. If he does sc
he viii certainly get much help from New
York and the south, where it is hardly ex-
pected at present.
