She Remains the Same.

Mrs. Rebecca Jackson, living at go Congress
street, Portland was terrible sufferer from fac
ial neuralgia for seven years. It would at times
extend down the right side to the leg. This dis
ease is known as Tic Douloureux and is the hard
est of all known kinds of neuralgia to cure. Dur
ing these seven years of torture what Mrs. Jack
son suffered is beyond the pen to describe. Every
thing in the world was done for her that could be
thought of, the best physicians employed and ey-
cry remedy used for such diseases tried but to no
avail. Mrs. jackson got no relief. Some months
ago she read an advertisement in one of the daily
papers OF the many being cured by Doctors
Smith and McMullen, the magnetic physicians at
the u S. Hotel. As many of these cures were of
quite a miraculous nature, she thought she
would as very last resort try again. Mrs jack
sons recovery was wonderful to say the least.
She commenced to feel better from the first, and
in very short time was entirely well and has
remained the same every since. Mrs. Jackson
is an old LADY of IL. Still she now does all Of her
own work about the house and is in every way
well and strong. This cure was made some
months ago, and is given again, as many were
skeptical as to its lasting. Doctors Smith and
McMullen are permanently located at the United
States Hotel. They treat successfully every form

He Don't Know where to Find Cleveland.
The democratic leaders are not pleased
with the course of Mr.. Cleveland in the
canvass; and Henry Watterson, as usual,
voices the general discomfort. He said to
a correspondent of the Philadl phia
Times:
We want him to give at least private as
surances to men who are battling for him
that he recognizes and 4. Pr ciates and Is
al least aware of the fact that they are
working for him. The democratic party
will never achieve Il victory by simply
talking about the personal popularity of
its chief candidate. There has been so
much of that sort of thing that believe
Mr.. Cleveland thinks that if wewere to close
the national headquarters to morrow the
canvass would move along just as well
and he would be triumphantly elected.
Under these circumstances the party
leaders are naturally apathetic. They
want some assurances that their labors in
Mr.. Cleveland's behalf will be appreciated.
Let him tell us where he stands is he
with us in this fight or is he not

1t is good sign when man is so strong

Election at Hand.

Our State election occurs one week
from Tuesday. The candidates and issues
are fairly before the people. We have in
our nominee for governor, a high minded,
honest, capable and popular man, sound
on every issue, respected and esteemed by
all who know him. With him on the
ticket is a one armed soldier of high per-
sonal standing and sound political faith,
and the ticket is throughout clean, unex-
ceptionable and such as any honest man
should be glad to vote. The chief work to
be done between now and election day is
to ensure the full vote, which will give us
the heaviest republican majority we have
had since the war. The Vermont repub
licans as Il whole are thoroughly
aroused to the Importance of this cleo
ton. -Four years of democratic rule
has satisfied them that they want
no more of it-as it has satisfied many hon
est democrats that nothing has been gain
ed or is to be gained in the direction of
honest government and improved public
service, from the success of their party.
The tariff issue calls into active exercise
the instinct of self-protection. Our bust
ness men and wOrklngmen see that their
material interests are threate med, and that
another democratic administration will
mean staguation III business ana
lower wages for the workingmen.
But in every town and village are
some inert and sleepy republicans who
need waking up Every earnest republi-
can should from this day till the election
constitute a campaign committee OF one
to impress upon every such apathetic &C
quaintauce the need and duty of voting
this time, if he never votes again. Every
republican, also, should arrange his bus
mess SO as to be at home
and at the polls on election day
This is very important, The republican
majority in this State is often cut
, down thousands of votes by the absenc,
of voters The democrats will be at HON,
and at the polls let the republicans NEE
them there with equal interest. Let thu
remaining days of the canvass be devoted
to earnest and industrious work, with thi
point in view-the getting out the full re
: publican vote. This accomplished, tn
maj1rity of Vermont will stand at figur
, which will tell powerfully on the nationa
