II. H. Hines, for Auditor.

Everybody can afford t. declare
tor Hines for Auditor for his star is
in the ascendant. From the boom
that is going on for him, if the
Convention obey the manifest will OF
the people) his race will he mere
walk over" We have tried to
think what class of voters could OBJ
iect To him-Democrats could not,
for he is dyed in the wool" yet
conservative and modest. Men OF
business could not, for he is emf
nently systematic and laborlous in
all his habits,-a regular cart horse
business man. Honesty-loving men
could not for every act of his official
lite, and the united testimony of his
acquaintance prove him honest
Temperance men could not, and
those who are not so. would not, for
he is temperance man, but does
not Obtrude his views on others, but
is firm; and no one would object to a
man because his intellect was never
betogged with liquor. Christians
could not, because we suppose he is
one, and that embraces the whole
moral cataiogue.-NagnoHa Ga
zette.
The above presents the case in q
nutshell. Hines is undoubtedly
the man for our next Auditor.

ENDORSED BIZ THE REVENUE DEPARTMENT

The following extract from correspond
ence explains itself, and is glowing
tribute to the various preparations made
by the Home Bitters Co., including the
celebrated Home Sanative Cordial:
WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Sept. IA, 1888.
GENTLEMEN =" In your case they
fully recognize the medicinal classlfica-
tion of your prepare, ions and the recent
decision of Collector Surgeon, aud hold
that all your preparations may be sold as
medicines without the payment of special
taxes.
Your preparations will now in my opin-
ion, gain a stronger foothod than ever
before, as they can i'll good faith be sold as
| medicines, and will, under the rulings,
| crowd ont other less valuable prepara-
tons, and will have this advantage the
Commissioner now has confidence IN them,
and am satisfied he will not allow any
petty annoyances concerning them.
You should emphasize in your adver-
tlsements that your preparations are
| manufactured as medicines, ddreItised as
medicines, and sold as medicines and uScd as
medicines, and highly endorsed by the
medical profession as rdluable medicines

Public sentiment ought to have
nothing to do with an officer enforc,
ing the law, and doing his own duty
In the premises. Is it any excuse
for him that the people are lawless
Is that not a greater reason why he
should discharge his whole duty
Too many officials place themselves
behind this flimsy excuse, and thus
violate their solemn oaths.-Cloy

A recent special to the New Or
leans States says: There is loud
and honestly expressed belief among
prominent members of Congress
that Mr.. Cleveland's conservative
policy, as to removals and appoint
ments, will bring about a process of
fatal disintcgration of the Democrat
ic party; which, being interpreted,
means that with politicians, the co
hesive power of public plumber, is
far greater than the cohesive power
of prin ciple or patriotism.

There was very :air gathering
at the Presbyterian Chapel on Mon

all his remarks were listened to with

1t is understood that the policy
of the administration with regard
to the appointments to places in
the Southern States that are now
held by colored Republicans will be
not to substitute white men for col.
ored men but to replace dishonest or
incompetent colored Republicans
with colored Democrats who are
worthy and capable This is the
true policy.

Neither mental nor physical labor can
be accomplished satisfactorily unless the
system is in order. When you feel tired,
languid, wearied and without exertion,
the mind is slow to act and requiring
great mental effort you can rest assured
that Your liver is not acting properly.

throw off impurities. There is no remedy
that will accomplish this so mildly and

The Civil Service Commission has
information that in many of the
States the numbers applying to he
examined are greatly in excess OF
what is needed to secure competent
persons to fill all vacancies likely to
occur for at least six mouths. While
there will be probably a consilera-
BILE number of removals, the vague
expectation of sweeping changes for
the mere purposes OF partisan pat.

realized. The requests for cxamina-
