The Akron Beacon makes some COM
ments on gentlemen whose names will be
mentioned, more or less. in the wigwam
next Thursday:
John Beatty represents the real Issue that
the Republican party can never abandon, 90
long as there is place or a State in the
country. where there ia not an honest and uu-
trammelled ballot, or fair count. But
Beatty beat himself before he began, by abuse
Of other Republicans, all inst as good as him.
self. For that reason, he would make an in-
different candidate, no matter how good q
Governor he might be.
General Beatty is not a professional but
terer Of parsnips, and therefore not good
manipulation OF boom in his own behalf.
OF another gentleman the Beacon says:
One member, at least, Of the Ohio Repub-
lican ticket of 1888 will not find much troable
in getting on the ticket nominated at Spring
field. He is Captain John q. Brown, Of JEFF
terson county, whose othec leg was left on
the field in the Atlanta campaign. He ran
500 votes ahead of his ticket in his own
county two years ago and would make good
run for State Treasurer next fall.

The Hon. George X. Nash, of Colum-
bus, formerly Of Springfield, in his Mem
oral day address, delivered at Dayton,
urged the business men ITO take into their
own hands the management Of party
machinery" The suggestion is Of prac-
tical nature. This is just what the busi-
ness men Of Springfield did in the last
presidential canvass and in the city can
vass this last spring, and this fact ex-
plains tho large measure of success which
crowned their efforts. II the Republican
business men Of the country, especially in
New York State, had followed the example
set them in Ohio in October, they would
have elected Blaine and Logan in No
vember.

Average People.

Average people are the ballast Of the
world. Notwithstanding their useful
ness, how few people are willing to be
ranked as averagep How many secret
ly feel that they are beyond the limits
of that epithet. and that their acquaint-
ances are just below it. Those who
think that they have escaped the boun-
Diary line and are classed with the re-
markablc people indulge in perpetual
mirage of thought, which, to them
selves, inverts their hulk of common
placencss into mast-hcads of promi-
nencc. We look at them through their
self-imposcd atmosphere and believe
that they are above the water-linc; but
the air changes, and the relative pro-
portion of their attributes is plainly
visible. Insigniiicance is never greater
than when it thinks it is just above the
average. Endeavoring to avoid its
limitations it wraps itself in the rest
lessness which it supposes is the neces-
sary malady Of growth. 1t hugs its
and believes it is perpetually suffering
from an access of creative thought, of
original deeds, which, always coming,
never appears. Some men and women
are ever on an uneven race for wealth
and ambition; they are discontented
with the restrictions of home and hu-
mility; they speak with pathos of their
unfultilled aspirations, of their weary,
large-eyed gaze at society, of the hol-
lowness of life, of the solace in enter
ior views" Of the comfort in keeping
thought diaries and in interchange Of
misty quotations with deep natures
searching for truth. They try to do
and be more than their mental and
physical limitations allow. The wo-
men want some loftier mission than
housework; the men something more
than clerkships. So many win the
public school diplomas that they are
sure they can also succeed in the strug-
gle for profession, or for one Of the
avenues Of employment A failure is
attributed to any other cause rather
than to mistaken self-estimate. This
desire for advancement, irrespective Of
personal qualifications, is the reason
for the increasing influx of restlessness
among so many persons. -kate Can

Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., N. j., makes the following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were 80 weak raised blood. . Nobody
thought I could live. My work (ship.
smithing) twas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition l
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and II saved my life Because it was 60
difficult to get 1t in this little place, and I
had improved so much, stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishlers Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and must have q
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and If any one wants
to be convinced of its truth, let them write
me and will make affidavit to il, for /
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters."
Thesecret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhea, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful Ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by regular
physician; standard medicinal prepara-
ton; endorsed BY physicians and drug
gists. These are four strong points in favor
of Mishler's Herb Bitters, Mishler's Herb
Bitters is ssold by all druggists. Price 81 90
per large bottle. 6 bottles for $500.
Ask your druggist for MIsHLER's HERB BrTTERs.

 AND 9TH. 1885.

AT STAFFORD SPRINGS, CONN.,, OCT. oTH
 AND 9TH, 1885.
 In the poultry classes expert judges will be employed Local exhibitors can con- pete in same classes, and for same prizes, as in former years, the champion stock classes being entirely distinct, though To- cal exhibitors can exhibit in any class they choose, as well as in the local classes.
 The presence of the governor on the second day of the fair, is promised. These fairs have been visited by every state gov ernor during the past six years at least once during the official term of each in- cumbent.
 In going back to two days fair in- stead of three as last year, the Stafford so- ciety inaugurates an important change in making the first day full of attractions in- stead of making it solely a cattle day. The 2:45 and 2:28 classes will trot for $15O and $2OO respectively. This last class is open to trotters and pacers. Also fiat race for $1OO On the second day, 300 class, $50; open to all, $25O; 2:3S class, $2O0 ; hurdle race, $lOO; pony race $50. Ad- ditional attractions are being sought for, and will be provided Some of these will be announced later, some reserved as a surprise" to the visitors. The society can safely take this course, having won the full confidence of all fair-attending people. Two days full of attractions are promised.
 The bills for the Eastern Connecticut trotting circuit have been issued by Hall & Bill, of Willimantic-a mammoth poster of fine appearance. The classes are simi. lar, and the horses will generally be enter, ed for the entire circuit. The two south. ern societies comprising, with the Stafford, the circuit, have added to their programme the hurdle race, so long feature of the Stafford fair.
 The balloon ascension will be by Capt. A. B. Moore, of Winsted, who also makes ascension for the state fair at Meriden. Capt. Moore is a. daring @ronaut, and makes high ascersions, usually landing al great distances from point of ascension. He will be accompanied by photographer who will make views of Stafford Springs and other scenery as seen from cloudland
 The colored jockey from Worcester whose horse broke it's neck in jumping g hurdle last year, will again be on hand with new horse and an expressed deter imitation to win a prize to make up par tially for last years loss.

ITO THE PUBLIC.

I find it necessary to make another expia- nation about the Boot and Shoe business from which it has been advertised should retire the 10th instant. The person to whom the business was sold by agreement declines to ratify the contract, and that disposes of the business so far as that trade is concerned. Having made up my mind to retire, another arrangement will be carried out which will be of greater benefit to the customer, inasmuch as the system of lower prices for the better grades of goods can be continued faithfully. The proposed change involves no serious dis turbance as the future manager is to be one we'll known to the People as thoroughly con versant with LEATHER as we'll as for his skill in working it. MT. D. H Bellerose has been with us one decade and almost the tirst half of another, and has been thoroughly identified with my business from the start, and am confident the consumer will not suf- fer under his management. In retiring have to thank generous public for liberal trade enjoyed for the years of business, and feel certain am doing another favor by asking you to continue your fayors with my success sor.

Sha- han during the past week received letter from prominent clergyman of Wiscon- sin, seeking information regarding the whereabouts of a certain Mrs. Edward Kennedy, who, thirty years since, was married in this city. For valid reasons Mrs. Kennedy's spouse left his bride and following the advice of the renowned Horace" went west.
