MIUHIGANs ONLY CANDIDATE, 7

Mr.. Blaine, in his entertaining "Twenty
Years of Congress" thus speaks Of General
Cass, the Democratic Presidential candi.
date, who led his party to disastrous defeat
in the election of 184S: g!
"The Democratic candidate was man
of high character. He had served credit
ably in the early part of the war of 1872
had been Governor of Michigan Territory
from 1918 to 1881, had been five years Sec
rotary of War under General jackson and
had gone to France as Minister in 1886.
He remained at the Court of Louis
Philippe, where he received minute con-
sideration for six years. When he returned
to this country in 1912, at sixty years Of
age, he undoubtedly intended to re-enter
political life"
Popular ovations were arranged for him
rs he journeyed westward, and by the time
he reached his home in Detroit General
Cass was publicly recognized as candi-
date for the Presidency. BY remaining in
the field as candidate" says Mr.. Blaine,
"he deeply wounded Mr.. Van Buren,, dis
regarded q personal and political friend
ship of thirty years duration and sundered
ties which life was too short to re-unite."
In the end Mr.. Van Burens enmity de-
feated General Cass when he obtained the
nomination in lS4S.
The dead statesman will always have
warm place in the heart of the people of
Michigan, because of his many services in
her behalf and because of the lustre which
he shed upon her. She has had no Presi-
Dental candidate since, and the out
look for her having one in the near future
is not promising. Cassopolis has been
named after him, and SO long MS that
thrifty town prospers and grows his many
virtues will be cxtolled. 1t is in Cas-
sopolis that Mr.. Smith Wooden lives,
whose name is mentioned here because he
is the author of the following interesting
letter:
"Nothing has ever relieved my wife of
rheumatism and neuralgia so much as
Athlophoros. always keep it in the
house and cheerfully recommend it to
Others"
An equally good opinion of the medicine
is expressed by Charles Latourett, OF
Bradley, as follows:
"I would say in favor OF Athlophoros
that one bottle entirely cured me OF rheu-
matism which had been treated by some of
our best physicians without avail. / can
highly recommend it to all suffering from
the same disease"
G. Wiesinger & Son, druggists, of Adj
rian, report this gratifying case:
"Last fall, along about November LIST,
we sold man bottle of Athlophoros for
his father, who had not walked more than
two or three blocks at time in about two
years. After taking one bottle of the med
icine he walked down to our store, which
is very nearly two miles from his house,
and purchased the second bottle himself.
This was four days from the time he first
commenced taking Athlophoros. He has
taken five bottles of the medicine and says
he thinks he is entirely free from rheuma-
tism. The gentleman is in the neighbour
hood Of sixty years of age and looks healthy
and robust now"
