Capt. Frederick Whitaker, of Por
Chester, N. Y, Past Commander OF
Famsworth Post, No. 10. G. "A. r.
who helped to organize the first Cleve
land and Hendricks Club in his town
having been life long democrat, has
renowned his party and proposes tc
vote for Blaine. He says:
"My reasons for this determination
are these:
l. AT the first meeting in this town
in the interest of Mr.. Cleveland, Dem
ocrats in this place publicly Kissed,
without rebuke from the Chair or any
one else. the sacred name of Abraham
Lincoln, and united to drive from the
platform, with every mark finsult and
contempt, a Union soldier, speaking of
the civil war, in order to do honor to a
gentleman whose bests efforts were di-
rected during that war 10 the destruc-
ton Of that Union.
III. The chief agent in the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago, now
the chief speaker in his canvass in this
State is IL prominent Rebel agent; and
every thing tends to show that, in the
event of Mr.. Cleveland's election, he
will be surrounded by Rebel advisers
and Rebel influences.
III. One of the leading spirits in the
organization of the independent Re-
publican Club in this town is Rebel
officer.
". The Chairman Of the Democrat
ic Town Committee in this town has
publicly declared, without contradiction
from Democrats, that the Grand Army
must take a back seat. now the war is
over"
Therefore it has come to custom
where Union soldier, who has been a
sincere Democrat, should go in this cam
paign.
If he acts with the Cleveland Democ-
racy he must apologize for his war rec
ord: see the Grand Army of the Repub-
insulted; to do honor to every Rebel
officer that comes to Democratic NEE
ting, and acquiesce in the dictum of the
official head of the Democracy in this
town, that henceforth "the Grand Ar
my must take back seat"
In such case l have but one decision
to make:
The Grand Army represents the sal
walton of the Union from ruin: the
the Cleveland democracy, as revealed
by itself in an unguarded moment, rep
resents the men who would have de-
stroyed their country but for the very
Grand Army which that Cleveland par
ty now insults and derides.
1t is time therefore, for every Union
man in America to declare his creed as
l do mine that;
THE humblest drummcr-boy who fol-
lowed the flag of the Union during the
Rebellion is to-day more
worthy of honor in the land he helped
to save, than the greatest orator and SOL
der that helped to destroy the country
of his birth to perpetuate human slave
ry.'
From henceforth till this Rebel spirit
is crushed out forever, and until the
of 1864 take back seat in
the councils of the Democratic party,
for one shall act and vote with the par
ty that has no need to apologize for its
war record, and which remains to-day
great, in spite of the faults, follies and
crimes of the men it has sometimes hon
ored with its gifts"

DRINKING WHILE EATING.

Nature never intended for people to
wash down their food while eating. She
has wisely placed salivary glands in vari-
GUS places in our mouths they secrete a
fluid for the moistening, besides chemi.
cal action of the food after mastication.
This gets the food in a suitable condition
for swallowing. Drinking every few
minutes while eating prevents the usual
flow of saliva; also it washes it down be-
fore it can have chemical action on GER
tain portions of the food One of the
most pernicious habits to health is drink
ing several tumblers of water while eat
ing; better drink warm drinks The
stomach will not digest one particle of
food when it has temperature below
one hundreddegrees Fahrenheit neither
will 1t digest one atom of food until all
the fluid is first absorbed No healthy
person should drink more than a half
pint OF some mild fluid while taking food.
and dyspeptics should not drink drop
while they are eating, nor for three or
four hours after.

Congressman William Walter Phelps
says that New Jersey will certainly
cast her electoral vote for Blaine. The
foreign elements, and particularly the
Irish, are very bitter about Cleveland,
and while he will not predict that they
will vote for Blaine, he says he is sure
that they will be lost to the Democrats,
and in al probability most of them will
support Butler. He says that the gener-
al outlook for Blaine's election was
never so good as now, and that nothing
that the Democrats can do will save
them from defeat.

Attracts But Little Attention.


The national Greenback convention, which
will meet at indianapolis on Wednesday, has at
tracted very little attention. Nobody cares
when OF where it may meet, what it may or may
not put into it's platform, or who it may nom
mate as its candidates. Never other than the
merest weakling it has no longer even the inter
est attaching to faction. 1t is still used by a
few aspiring politicians as basis for trade but
even this phase has become so well known that
it is powerless to maintain in place the dema
gogues who once employed it with success. 1t
is not probable that General Butler will have
any rivals or opponents in the few delegates who
will comnose the convention.
