70 All honor to those Republicans
who in the face of the most bitter
abuse came out and took manly
stand against the election of Blaine.
Some voted for Cleeeland and others
for St. John, but in either case they
have reason to be proud of their ac-
ton. They realized the responsibility
they assumed of defeating the Repub-
lican party and preventing the election
of such man as James G.. Blaine,
and boldly assumed it. 1t is safe to
say it will be many year before any
party dares again to nominate man
like Blaine.

Partial treatment of Rheumatism or
Neuralgia, as with lotions and ONT

it ought to be killed. 1t is a mere
postponement of pains till another, and

lophoros does not parley with these
diseases, but gets right beneath and
behind them and roots them out Of the

cure. Says S. H. Stevihs, Natick,
