The remarkable results in disease so
universal and with such a variety of
characteristics as Catarrh, prove how
effectually Hoods Sarsaparilla acting
through the blood, reaches every part of
the human system. A medicine, like
anything else, can be fairly judged only
by its results. We point with pride to
the glorious record Hoods Sarsaparilla
has entered upon the hearts of thousands
Of people it has cured of catarrh.

EVERY county ought to bsrepresented in
State convention, Republican or Demo
cratic, by its own duly chosen citizens.
Representation by proxy is far from the
beat, and action influenced by conside,a.
BILE number Of proxies is not usually the
most acceptable to a party.
What is to be done ut Martinshurg and
OF Charleston OF sufficient moment to
each party to call out a full representation
from The counties. Republicans and Demo
cra'l Of each county should take interest
enough in the nomination OF presidential
candidates 10 be represented by their own
people in their respective conventions. 4:
: lt'is a matter Of common interest that
the National conventions each party shall
pu! forward Its best material, 60 that what.
ever comes to pass the Chief Magistrate oi
the Nation ahall be man Of representa-.
tive character, in whom the country car
have confidence, and whom all the people
can support as the President Of the Uni
ted States, without regard to his party, al

TIE Democrats Of Randolph county have
chosen their delegates to the Charleston
Convention, aud, to make sure Of being
represented there, resolved "That in the
event that none Of, the delegates appointed
from this county-any Of whom may act as
proxies at tho State Convention and cast
the vote OF the whole delegation-then T.
?. R. Brown or J.. Hop Woods, Of Barbour
county; +. W. Wilson or W. H. Hogeman,
Of kanawha county, any or either Of whom
pay act al proxies for this country" A
good deal Of trouble might grow out Of this
action. Suppose that each Of the possible
proxies from other counties should desire
to poll the vote Of Randolph-how would
the convention decide? The order OF
naming them suggests no preierence-"any
oreither Of whom may act as proxies" Pos.
sibly no trouble will ensue, for it is not
likely that either Of the gentlemen named
will want to give the convention knot to
unite, but the knot ia there. sI,. rg'
