Yes, but Mr.. shideler, that was
when Mr.. Orth's record was shown
to be bad, when the campaign was
almost over and Mr. Harrison was
put in bis place; he had no chance.
Yes, but Marion county, his home,
will go against him.
That's where you's off Mr.. Shidel-
er, he carried Marion county by
eighteen hundred majority and run
over two thousand votes ahead of
his party. You ought to post up a
little in the history of your native
state.
But he can't carry the Pacific slope.
That is what you said little over

eler, and we downed you big.
Yes, but Harrison can't carry it.
Why, Mr.. Shideler?
His record is bad on the Chinese
bill.
Well now Mr.. Shideler what is his
record on the Chinese bill?
Well that's all right.
Yes, but what is his record? If
You know anything about it, let Mr.

Mr., Hutchinson you ought to vote

You wouldn't be called a tho

100 years; you would be called a
dough face. No Mr.. Shideler, can't
vote for the party that has the record
the democrat party has and at each
national convention declare that they
are proud of their record and keep
on crowning JEFF Davis their king.
The mistake IS that the republicans
did not hang JEFF Davis.

A Great Humorist Gone.

The death of Mr.. David r. Locke,
long known as petroleum V. Mas
by," is announced. 1t has been an
ticipated for some weeks past, as it
was known that his disease was in
durable and that he had little remain
ing strength of resistance. But the
announcements of his condition and
of his probable death gave rise nat
urally to more or less extended ac-
counts of his long and varied news
paper career, and especially of the
inimitable productions over his as
sumed name that made him at crit
zeal epoch in the history of the war,
a great power for the cause of the
Union and of human rights. Mr..
Lincoln, especially, had thorough
and enthusiastic appreciation of the
value of these contributions to the
life and death controversy between
the cause that he led and the cause
of secession and slavery. He felt,
few men could feel, the power and
the pathos there were in the Nasty
epistles, which dissolved old preju-
dices; exposed the fallacies, ridicul-
ed the inconsistencies and pilloried
the WEAKNESSES of the Cooper
heads y strengthened anti-slavery
and union sentiment, and gave to
President Lincoln's supporters both
encouragement and inspiration.
Mr.. Locke was a successful pub
Usher and editor of newspapers, and
made the Toledo Blade a great pow
er and of late years welded the whole
of its power in the temperance cause,
but the Nasty letters won for him
his peculiar distinction and will re-
main his peculiar monument. They
are unique in the history of American
humor. No other humorist in this
country ever came anywhere near
achieving the universal and long con-
tinued popularity that was won and
kept by these remarkable combina-
tions of earnest purpose with the
rarest and most effective bumor.
More than once they were more eff
fective in behalf of the union cause
and republican campaigns than the
ablest speeches and editorials of our
greatest speakers and writer's.

Blaine's Best.

In twenty years of bold and bril-
liant service in the republican party,
James O.. Blaine has done no other
act which so illustrates his greatness,
and so entities him to the gratitude
and admiration of his party, as the
writing of the letter in which he an
nounces that his name will not be
presented in the next republican con
vention for the nomination of candi-
dates for president and vice-president.
1t is a magnificent letter, which only
a great man could have written; and
only one of rare sagacity, and still
rarer devotion to his political princi-
pies, would have published. 1t is
worthy of the illustrious name APP
pended to it, and justifes the almost
idolatrous faith of majority of the
republican party in its most conspic-
nous leader. That Mr.. Blaine has
had it in his power to secure re-
nomination has been apparent. He
has long been the idol of positive, ag
gressive, persistent republicanism.
He led the party grandly and WORTH
" in 1884, and was beaten by the
nSfrowest of margins. the result of
accidents for which he was not re-
sponsible. He has carried himself
handsomely since then, and grown
steadily in the affections of his sup
porters and the admiration of his OPP
Ponents. The party machinery was
in his hands, and behind it, in every
state, were thousands of adheFents
who believed him the strongest as
well as the grandest and the most
worthy of candidates, and others
whose devotion carried them to the
extent of feeling that they would
rather be beaten with him than win
with any other. The party is not de-
moralized by its discontinue three
years ago. 1t has steadily gained
ground since then, and is full of fight

Blaine Withdraws-A Patriotic
Letter.

Chairman Jones of the National
Republican Committee gave to the
public on Monday the following let
ter from Hon. James G.. Blaine:
FLORENCE, ITALY, Jan. %, 1888.
B. F. Jones, Esq, Chairman of the
Republican National Committe:
Sir Il wish through you to state
to the members of the republican
party that my name will not be pre-
sented to the National Convention
called to assemble in Chicago in
June next for the nomination of
candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States.
/ am constrained to this decision
by considerations entirely personal
to myself of which you were advised
more than year ago; but 1 cannot
make the announcement without Civ
ing expression to my deep sense of
gratitude to the many thousands of
my countrymen who have sustained
me so long and SO cordially that their
feelings has seemed to go beyond
the ordinary political adherence of
fellow-partisans, and to partake some
what of the nature of personal at
tachment. For this most generous
loyalty of friendship, l can make no
adequate return; but / shall carry
the memory of it while life lasts,
Nor can l refrain from congratu-
lating the republican party upon the
cheering prospects which distinguish
the opening of the national conquest
of 1888 as compared with that of
1884. In 1892 the republican party
throughout the Union met with dis
astrons defeat. Ten states that had
supported Garfield and Arthur in the
election of 1880, were carried by the
democrats, either by majorities or
pluralities. The republican loss in
the Northern elections compared with
the preceding national election ex-
eeeding half a million votes; and
the electoral votes of the Union,
divided on the basis of the results
of 1882, gave to the democrats over
800 electors out of a total of 4Q1,
There was partial reaction in favor
of the seven Northern states, and on
the basis of the years contest could
show more than 100 majority in the
ELECTORAL colleges of the whole coun-
try. But against the Encouragement

How to Cure a Cold

Mark Twain in his peculiar vein Of humor, has
said many funny things illustrative Of the hobbies
of mankind; but none of them surpass his story o
how he treated a cold.
Every friend he met for weeks, had "sure cure
suggest. until final the cold wore itself and
usual, the last remedy used got the credit for
the cure.
Experimenting with severe cold however-now
trying this remedy and then that, is dangerous hu
ines; for like lightning never tell where
cold may strike finally settle. IL may locate in
the head and cause severe nasal catarrh; IL may
ocate in the throat large bronchial tubes, caus-

Giles, causing pains and aches only equaIled by
rheumatism, or il may locate in tn small bronchial
tubes or air cells of the lungs, causing lobarpneu-
monia, the most TO be dreaded of all results from
a cold.
There is a right way 10 do everything, there l.
a rational treatment for a cold, which must be cured
promptly. The first result from cold is the retard-
alton Of every secretve function in the body skin,
lungs kidneys AID bowels severaly or an are aiec

store the functions of these organs Berause Of its

TO use, because so few people willing 70 condne
themselves TO the house long enough to recover;
and to expose ones self Immediately after a sweat

In treating cold among our active New England
people, some method mus be used that will admit
of person attending to their daily labor as usual
Among such people, probably more colds. more

courage. Mr.. Blaine knows all this,
and yet he rises above his ambition
to be president, relinquishes his po-
sition to others and steps into the
ranks to help secure for another the
prize which, to almost any other man,
would, under these conditions, have
appeared to be within his grasp. We
repeat that this is an act of which
only great man is capable. 1t is an
act that will 60 far toward shaping
the future history of the United

triumph of the republican party. 1t

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington. Feb. 18th.
The weeks doings in congress
have been of varied and interesting
character. The senate has talked
tariff, education, coins, discussed tho
nuisance of the vast accumulation of
public documents in the public build
ings of Washington, and made re-
peated attempts to discuss the Brit
ish Extradition treaty behind barred
doors, but in this was thwarted by
the hayward senator from Virginia,
who persists in his Efforts to do away
with the farce of secret sessions.
The House of Representatives is
getting ready for the coming tariff
fight; sit is clearing the decks" as
"Sunset" Cox said, by passing a
great many minor and private bills,
which are scarcely worthy of men
ton. To-day it will consider the adj
mission of Dakota to the sisterhood
of states, and on Wednesday at three
o'clock, the senate will call for a final
vote on the long pending Blair educa-
tional bill.
Senator Plumb of Kansas wants to
make a speech on the Blair bill be-
fore it is voted on, as does also an
other senator, and for the sake of
these two, the vote has been deferred
until the day named. Senator Call
of Florida made a speech rather in
favor of the measure. He said if
he could believe that the evils fore
told by the enemies of the bill would
follow its enactment, he would vote
against it. But he did not so be-
lieve.
As to the constitutional objections
made to it, he said the quotations
from jefferson and Madison and the
early fathers of the republic were
nearly one hundred years old, and
had every one of them been over
ridden by the practice of the Governs
ment with the acquiescence of the
people.
Mr.. Carlisle shows no traces of his
recent illness. One of his first acts
on resuming his official duties at the
Capitol was to order the private tele-
