New York city, as to local poll
tics, is torn all to pieces by factions
of the Democracy, but all say they
will not split ON the national ticket.
We don't think they will unless it
becomes necessary to carry their
point. In that event, they will
butcher Cleveland without hesita-
ton and without remorse. But we
are not apprehensive of such re-
suit. Cleveland will carry New
York and meet the Republican ava
lance at Harlem river with tidal
wave from the bay.

IT is credibly reported that the

girls, giving them all collegiate

education to outside liberality, and
the example that was set in his case
was productive of good results.

There is a we'll known lady in
Wilkes county who has enjoyed per-
feet health since the earthquake of
two years ago. For several years
up to that time her health had been
declining, and she was then quite
feeble. The physicians said the
trouble was that she never perspired.
When the great earthquake came
she was considerably frightened,
and in few moments the perspira-
ton came freely from every pore.
She began to improve from that mo-
ment, and soon entirely regained
her health.

A Book every Democrat Should Have.

Hill & Harvey, Publishers of New York,
have just issued book which should be in
the hands of every Democrat, It is entitled
"The Life and Public Services of the great
Reform President, Grover Cleveland" to
which is added the life of that grand Old Ro-
man, the pride of Ohio, Hon. Allen g. Thur
man. The work has been ably compiled by
that we'll known author, Col. Herman Dicck,
and is prefusely illustrated with steel and
wood cuts. The book embraces a full ac-
count of the early life of Mr.. Cleveland, his
struggles with poverty and efforts to obtain
an education, his ambition as student, his
early political career, his patriotic record as
Mayor of Buffalo and as governor of the
great Empire State, and his heroic battles
with rings and corruption &c. To this vivid
description of the Presidents remarkable life
is added graphic account of Mr.. Cleveland's 3
marriage, and a pen picture of "the first lady
of the land" The personal characteristics of
Mrs. Cleveland, her beauty, dignity, winning
manners, and the admiration she every where
excites, are fully described. The work con-
tains much other historical matter, such as an
account of the election and administration of
every President from Washington to Cleve-
land. This alone is we'll worth the price of
the book. which is only sold by subscription,
and can only be had of Joseph B. Woke, who
has taken the egency for this county.
