 and Important Certainly if True.
 BUFFALO, Feb. 22.-The Daily Times Dsne- cratic) will publish tomorrow the substance of 8 conference between James D. Warren, chairman of the Republican State commit tee, and President Arthur, had in Washing- ton last Monday. He states that President Arthur will serve as . cover frsm now until the proper time in the convention for another candidate, that Mr. Warren has convinced MT. Arthur that it will be impossible to carry the convention for him and that it is wiser to select some other stalwart candidate who will be sprung upon the COZ vention at the last moment. The man decided upon for the nom- inatien is Elihu B. Washburn of Wisconsin. minister to France during the Franeo-Prus- sian war. The services that he rendered to the Germans there it is thought will give him their support and he is 6 western man. General Joseph R. Hawley of the Hartford C0urant was mentioned for Vice Prssident. The plan of the stalwarts is to keep Arthur before the country as . candidate for the benefit of the opposing faction in the Rephb- hcan party, the object being to keep the real nominee outof the range of the half breed frs. MT. Warren will arrive home tomorrow. New Haven Bicycle Records-D1scussed

SCROFULA,

 A remedy that can destroy the germs of Bcrofula, and when once settled has the pow CT to root 1t out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures of young children and the more wonderful cures of those of middle age and late in life, as iI- lustrated bysour printed testimonials, prove Hoops SARsAPARILLA to be reliable rem edy, containing remedial agents which do positively cure scrofula and eradicate it from the blood.
 WARNER, N. H., Jan. 21, 1879. MEesRS. c. I. HOOD & Co.,, Lowell, Mass: Gentlemen-For ten years previous to the early part of 1877 had been constant suf- ferer from scrofplouS ulcers CT sores, which had finally reduced me to a helpless condi- tion, as described in my letter to you in Sep tember of that year. The continued excel lent health which enables me to keep house for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps SARSAPARILLA,a and cannot refrain from ex- pressing my gratitude for the permanent cure this wonderful medicine effected in my case nearly two years ago, while living in Lowell, when all my physicians gave me up as being in an incurable condition. One thing before close. I have recommended your Sarsaparilla to hundreds, and I think more than thousand cases, and my faith in its invincibility in curing scrofula has be- come absolute by the wonderful cures it has effected aside from my own. trust you will not be slow in making the merits of HooD's SARSAPARILLA known everywhere, best wishes remain very truly yours,
