GARDINER, July 5. 1886.

GARDINER, July 5, 1886,
To Editor KenneJec Journal:
| want to say few words through your col
umns in regard to the man whom the New
Age SAYS the citizens of Gardiner have twice
delighted to honor as Mayor of this city.
The first time he was elected as temper
ance Mayor, and we temperance men hon
ored him as such; but the last time he was
elected he was nominated by the Knights of
Labor, and they blew the temperance horn
and he was elected Mayor. Now, Mr.. Edi-
tor, when man that has been republican
and then green hacker, and then st. John
man, and never voted the democratic ticket,
and has within few days denounced the
two parties as not being true to the temper
ance cause, and has stopped so low and has
become so lost to honor and decency as to
allow himself to be elected delegate to the
democratic convention, and attends the same
and takes part in its deliberations, and that
convention ignores the temperance question
altogether, as it always has done as far as
know, l think it is time for temperance men
to look about themselves and see what they
have got on their hands. We once had a man
living in Gardiner who said his baby knew
enough to drop a hot potatoe when he took it
in his hand, now | hope all temperance men
will know enough to drop the rag baby and
come back to first principles and vote with
the party that has given us all the temper
ance laws we have. for one propose to stay
in that party is not right will use my infiu-
ence to make it right. | think we as temper
ance workers will be better off in the end.

The Ballot.

A fair. open, free ballot is essential to
the existence of republican government.
When the ballot becomes the instrument of
corruption, fraud and tyranny, the end of
free government in this country is not far
OF unless the people rise in their majesty
and make the ballot what it was intended
to be by the trainers of our government
1t is well known that the ballot in the
South rests upon system OF fraud and
oppression. 1t does not represent fairly
the voting population of that section. 1t
registers only the will OF domineering,
aristocratic minority. If fair ballot and
count had been possible in the Southern
States in the Presidential campaign of
1884. Grover Cleveland would not now be
President of the United States, and the
House of Representatives would not have
democratic majority. The system of
fraudulent elections in the South not only
deprives the negroes of their votes on
election day, but it works an apportion-
ment OF representatives in Congress I'M
fair and unjust as regards party lines, and
as between the North and South. Herein
is contained one of the most important
matters that can engage the attention of
American citizens. The democratic party
uphods this gigantic system of fraud, be.
cause in this way alone has it hope OF
power and influence in the government.
1t is due to this that the country is gov
erned today by democratic administra-
ton. The republican party opposes this
fraud. and demands an honest ballot and
honest count On this side should be
arrayed every honest man, every patriot.
every person who loves fair play and the
permanent existence and prosperity of
this beneficent government under which we
live.
The facts in regard to the subject of the
ballot as it exists in tbs country were
briefly presented by Hon. Charles H.
Grosvenor, of Ohio. in Fourth of July
address at Woodstock, Connecticut. We
COPY from his address:
Throughout the Northern States and East
err States to-day the average vote cast in the
various Congressional Districts will amount
to something like So 600 to each member of
Congress- ratio of representation OF about
1853, 900; and the votes cast in the several
districts in the sections OF the states TO which
I have alluded, average somewhere in the
neiphborhood of the figures which have
given. In the FIVE Southern States where the
cclored population preponderates-to wit:

The Physiology Of IN. Liver.

The liver is the largest secreting organ in
the human body, and the bile which it Sc
cretes is more liable to vitiation and misdi-
rection from its proper channels than any
other of the animal fluids. Luckily for the
bilious. however. there is an unfailing source
of relief from liver complaint, namely, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters,a medicine which for
over quarter Of century has been achiev-
ing thorough cures of the above mentioned
ailments. fever and sgue, dyspepsia, bowel
complaints rheumatic and kidney affection and
disorders involving loss of nervous vigor. 1t
is, moreover, a preventive of malarial dis
ease, and affords protection to thousands of
persons residing in districts of country where
that dire scourge is prevalent. As a remedy
adapted to the medicinal requirements Of
families, it is supremacy desirable, and as a
means of terrifying debiiitated system, it is
to be depended upon.
