A Great Victory
a Terrible Case Of ScrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

I" In the winter Of 1879 was attacked with
scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and aroundmy neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation Of ". J..
Huntley, druggist, Of Leckport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparflla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less. do not know what it may
have done for others, but I do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure. by personal correspondence with
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. J. Hunt
ley, druggist of Lockport, N Y, who calls the
cure great victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

MUGWUMPS CLASSIFIED.

The chairman of the Massachusetts,
Republican state convention made very
happy classification Of the mugwumps
who voted against the Republican cam
didates in 1884. The one class was COM
posed of poor, blinded independents,
honest but woefully deceived, who really
believed that Republican success at that
time would retard the progress of civil
service reform, but that the election of
Cleveland would promote it. The scales
fell off their eyes some time ago. and
each day Grover Cleveland is helping to
improve their eyesight in this reepect.
They see now their mistake, and they
will be welcome back to the fold.
But the other class was made I'D of
free traders in disguise. They pretended
to be greatly solicitous for civil service
reform, but it was only an excuse.
They pretended to dislike Mr..
Blaine, but it was only because
he was the great champion of pro-
lection, They were in fact free traders
looking for some loophole to escape to
lhe behlocIatlc party Where tney rlGht-
fully belonged. They did escape and
they are likely to stay escaped. As free
traders they can find no fellowship in
the party that believes in protecting the
American workingman, even if the for
eign manufacturer does suffer. SO long
as they are free traders they will find
congenial home in the Democratic party.
Such mugwumps cannot be expected to
return. Without change of heart they
would not be welcome. 1t is we'll TO
keep the distinction always in mind
there were two kinds of mugwumps in
1884. and neither of them Will have any
excuse for figuring as a separate factor
IN the politics of 1888.

The CASE OF BULGARIA.

President George Washburn. of Rob
ert college, Constantinople, contributes
TO the Independent another of his inter
esting papers on the eastern problem.
He thinks he finds IN Blsmarck's great
speech in the reichstag on European poE-
tics these two things: First. a warning
TO Russia not to precipitate war, and sec
onu. an invitation to Russia to reonen
the discussion of the Bulgarian question
with the other parties to the treaty of
Berlin. He also thinks he sees the first
fruits of that speech in Russia's over
ture to the other signatory powers to
join her in asking the sultan to order
Ferdinand to get out. Germany and
France did SO; Austria, Great Britain
and Italy asked explanations as to Rus
sia's further intentions, and, not getting
them remained passive but watch
full. The sultan, after some
weeks resistance and delay. so
far yielded 70 the pressure put upon him

THE SNUB TO MCDONALD.

The most significant thing about the
recent Democratic state convention in
Indiana, says the Register, was the en-
phatic and conspicuous snub that was
given to ex-senator Mcdonald. He was
not even given the empty honor of being
chosen delegate to the convention, and
he felt the slight very keenly. When
the convention met his name was not
even mentioned for any position what
ever, and among all the delegates chosen
to the national convention, the name of
''Old Saddlebags" fails to appear. This
was pretty harsh treatment for an old
war-horse who has done as much for the
Democratic party as he has. 1t will not
tend to improve the party's chances in
the coming campaign. The convention
endorsed Governor Gray as candidate
for the vice presidency, and Senator Nc
Donald says that if he is nominated the
state will go Republican. This indicates
that the old man does not propose to for
get the sights put upon him, and his
friends will help him assert his self re-
spect when the time comes. 1t looks as
if Indiana politics were to get along
without the picturesque figure of the ex-
senatorial least as an important factor.
A few years ago he was very prominent
in that state. Today he is SO conspicu-
ously ignored by his party that an out
slider would suppose that he had dis
appeared from. life. But the men who
snubbed him will find no signs of his
diSanpearance

THE GARDEN CITY CONVENTION
Hon. s. R. Peters Heartily Endorsed
Delegates and Elector Chosen.

The Republican convention of the
Seventh congressional DISTRICT, held at
Garden City, Tuesday, renominated Hon.
S. R, Peters for congress by acclamasion.
This was just as it should have been and
was expected IL should be. 1t means a
hearty endorsement by the people of the
district of their worthy, faithful and eff
Gent representative, and his return to
congress for a fourth term. The COM
marked because passed in his absence,
he remaining at his post of duty IN
! Washington. The sentiment in Judge
Peters favor amoug the people of his
district-the largest in area and popula-
ton in the United States-is not of the
personal effort among his constituency
on his part, but the spontaneous APPROX
al of worth as displayed in his untiring
efforts in their behalf. The most eio-
quent appeal he could make for
endorsement by his home
manner in which he sands guard
over their interests at the critical period
OF legislation now before congress and
the country, while his own interests
were left in their hands with no one
specially delegated to look after them.
The action of the convention shows that
this silent appeal was most fully appre-
ciated and effective.
The proceedings Of the convention,
which should have appeared i'll full in
the dispatches yesterday morning, but did
not. from some inscrutable reason. show
that A. Ii. Heber, of Meade Center. and
c. c. Curtis, of wellington, were chosen
delegates to the National Republican con-
vention at Chicago, and E. H. Hubbell
Of Scott City, and |. A. Love. of An
thony, as alternates. E. l.. Chapman,
editor of the Great Bend Register, was
nominated for presidential elector. Both
delegates TO the national convention ia
vor Blaine for president as first choice;
for second choice one is understood to be
for Depew ana the other for Gresham.
The convention is reported to have
been the largest ever held in the dis
trict, and that not only spirit of har-
mony and the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed, but that the liveliest enthusiasm
was manifested, presaging a sweeping
victory al the polls for the entire repub-
lican ticket, national, state, district and
county
