JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 7.-Advices today
do not change the estimate of last night
on Cleveland's majority in tho State. 1t
will between $4,000 and $4,000. There is
large Democratic increase in all portions
OF the State except the river districts.
Catchings, Congressman, has increased his
majority in the Third District over Hill,
Republican. 1t will be more than 5000.
This is the district the Democrats had the
greatest fear about. The Second and Sew
enth give respectable majorities for Morgan
and Hooker, respectively, leaving the
Democratic delegation to Congress still
unbroken. The Democrats here feel very
blue over the general results, and think
that II means q long step backward for the
future prosperity OF the South.

old Union veterans in Boston are going
to help out the Confederate home here in
Austin:
"rhe committee appointed by John A.

Anuihilating a multtrorm pisease.

Miasmatic, or malarial, disease has many
forms. Physicians have, for the sake of con-
venience and for the purpose of indicating its
most strongly marked forms. subdivided it into
intermittent and bilious remittent Fever, dumb
ague and ague cake But it presents an infinite
variety OF symptoms In different individuals.
Be these symptoms what they will, always re-
annihilate them at the outset, and prevent their
recurrence. A review of the proofs would con-
vince any one of the fact. This, however Is
impossible because they are too numerous, and
unnecessary because the effects of this grand
anti malarial specific are matter OF common
knowledge, No less familiar TO the public are
its remedial and preventive effects in bilious at
matism, debility and kidney troubles. Ii is,
moreover, an excellent appetizer and tonic
nervine.

sterling qualities raised himself to the
honorable position he now occupies. Mr..
Sayers modestly referred to his brothers
candidature, and asked his hearers to
think favorably of it. He stated as an
example of the way the hard-earned
money of the people is spent by the fed
eral government, that Colonel Belknap,
the republican candidate for congress for
the Tenth district, is, and has been for
past twenty-three years, receiving a PEN
sion OF $l5 month as disabled soldier,
although he is one of the healthiest and
stoutest men in the state, and very
wealthy.
Mr.. Sayers ventured to prophecy shat
this pensioner when the ides of
November came would wish he was baby,
and girl baby at that
Mr.. W. ID. Shelley made an able address,
dealing chiefly with county matters.
Taking up Judge Braokenridge's challenge
to judge him by his record, he proceeded
to show how that gentleman had filled the
office and administered the county finances.
1t is needless to say the result was not
favorable to the judge, and it can be set
down as true as preaching" that Brack-
enridge is politically dead, and hasn't
enough friends in this section to deoently
bury him.
Mr.. Thomas H, Wheeless then took the
platform, and for two hours entertained
his audience. He covered the whole field
of national, state and county politics, and
proved himself an orator of the first water.
