An Interesting Conversation which
Did Not Touch on Politics.
The Baltimore American, in local edi-
toria article. says: "rhe long array OF
testimony in favor of = recent discovery,
which appeared in our columns yesterday,
was of An unusual character. Among the
siguers to the certificate were Gov NC
Lane and Attorney General Roberts,
Mayor Latrobe, City Postmaster Adreon,
tho heads Of municipal departments,
judges and clerks Of courts, federal Off
Gals and congressman. All OF these gem
tlemcn testified rs to the merits OF the
remedy, and concurred in the official
opinion of the health commissioner rs to
its efficacy. The high standing and bust
ness reputation Of the house owning the
article, coupled with the we'll known
character aud prominence in public
affairs Of the gentlemen indorsing II, pre-
cludsd the possibility OF mistake in
any shape, but the reporter had been
approached by so many people since
morning and questioned as to what no
know Of the matter, that he deter
mined to interview somo of the signers.
Happening to meet Gov. McLane, whose
name heads the list, ho asked him his
reason for signing the certificate, to
which tho governor replied that he had
used the medicine, and knew what ho
was signing. The article in question,

tell the people, At the city hall the re-
porter saw Mayor Latrobe, who said 1t
was absurd to suppose that as mayor he
would indorse anything or anybody he
was unacquainted with. He knew that
several eminent authorities had recon-
mended It, his secretary had used it per-
sonally, and therefore he gave 1t trial,
and was satisfied that 1t could do every
thing claimed for IL. Other officials in
the city hall, judges and clerks of courts,
who had Joined in tho indorsoment, were
also seen, aud tho answer from each was
that they did so because thoy had prac-
tically tested the remedy.
Col. Adreon, the postmaster, said when
spoken to, that he had never before pub
licly indorsed cough medicine. but had
found so much benefit from Red Star
Cough Cure, and knew 80 we'll the danger
attendant upon taking cough mixtures
containing opiates or poisons, that he felt
no hesitation in giving the remedy in
question the strongest Endorsement posi-
BILE.
The reporter felt satisfied from oil that
he had heard that each gentleman sign
ing the certificate did so because he had
practically tested the remedy, and was
satisfied as to its safety and efficacy.
