To persons advanced in years, and those who
cannot take powerful medicine, simmons Liver
Regulator is most peculiarly adapted. Owing
to its mild action it may be taken by the most
delicate and debilitated at any time and under
all circumstances with perfect safety. One of
the most venerable of the United States Senate
the late Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, wrote :
simmons Liver Regulator is mild and suits me
better than more active remedies" 1t cures
constipation by gently assisting without forcing
nature. 1t imparts vigorous tone to the diges-
tive organs, improves the appetite, enriehes the
blood, builds up and restores the wasted ener-
gies, giving tone and vigor to the whole system.

it be added that if, as our contemporary

A CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.

In another place in this paper will be
found the RECORD UNIONS stenographic
report of the able and eloquent speech of
Hon. Grove L. johnson, made in this city
few days ago, in response to the speech
of Hon. John P. Irish, delivered some two
weeks previously The effort of Mr.. John
son will be found to be not sophomore on
the one hand nor heavy on the other. 1t
is careful and mastery array of figures
and quotations in support of clearly stated
political and economical principles, ad-
vanced in behalf of the candidacy of Har-
rison and Morton, and of the Republican
cause. We do not recall the time when
Mr.. johnson has made better, if so good
a political argument. He certainly never
had weightier subject nor one fraught
with so much of enonomic interest He
handled it, however, without any evidence
of fearfulness, and in manner testifying
to familiarity with and study of the Mills
bill, which was the immediate subject un-
der consideration. The speech is what we
would call a thoroughly good and strong
reading speech, and will be found to be a
valuable campaign document. 1t ought to
be read fully and with deliberation by all
voters, and its facts and figures given the
weight to which they are entitled, since
they are drawn, as the speaker was careful
to point out, from the best authoritative
snurces

THE terrible elevator accident in San
Francisco this week suggests anew that
which has often been pointed out, that it
is necessary to public safety for municipal
tiles to adopt regulations governing the
construction of elevators. Mechanism was
long since devised that on the release of
the cable lifting the cage, clasps the guides
and prevents the fall of the cage. 1t is
municipal neglect when it is possible to
operate elevators without some such de-
vice that has been tested beyond all ques-
tion of failure. 1t appears that safety
clutches were fitted to the Bancroft ele-
vator in San Francisco, but they did not
operate, and furnished no obstacle to the
plunge of the cage to the basement story.
There is quite as much reason for inspec-
tion of these lifts now so generally in use,
as of steam boilers, stairways in public
buildings, exits to theaters, etc.

IT is highly improbable that Turkey
will permit the seizure of the Greek vessel
at Chios to involve her in a war with
Greece. The latter would not probably
triumph in a contest with the Porte, but
the latter cannot afford the loss Greece
would infict upon Turkey, nor assume the
risk of Russia taking advantage of her en-
gagement upon her northern boundary.
For these reasons Turkey will in all prob
ability satisfy the demands of Greece.

Since the foregoing was ready for the

OF the bill to the President This action,
however, does not in any respect change
the character of our criticism or affect the

to overrule him, that he could present the

Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE

high honor which has been conferred upon
me by the National Republican Convention
recently in session at Chicago, and thank
you, gentlemen, for the courteous and
complimentary terms in which you have Off
cially announced my nomination as candi-
date of the Republican party for Vice-Presi-
dency. I am also deeply sensible of the honor
conferred upon the State of New York in the
selection of a citizen of this State as one of
the standard bearers in the approaching
peaceful conflict of the two great political
parties Of the country for supremacy of
governmental control. New York rep
resents to a large degree the business
interests of all those ever growing and wider
spreading communities Of varied interests
and industries which it is the mission of the
Republican party to foster and protect. The
platform so wisely adopted at Chicago has
this mission boldly in view, and by its enuu.
citation Of these principles makes the issue
clear and distinct. accept the position ten
dered by the Convention Of which you are
the honored representatives, and will in due
time address to you, Mr.. Chairman, an Off
cial communication to that effect"

RACED against each other, jumping from
loS to log, taking their pixies and dog
hooks, while the logs were careenlng,
and straighten out the lines, sending
them safely on their way, the water and
loes fairly dancing over them as they
performed their tasks. Bless you, any OF

nimb!e-footed geniuses were out fifty,
one hundred and two hundred feet. Once

ding and pulling over the snow, from
forest to river bank, life is hearty and
rugged enough. but the danger line
isn't there. These "catches" are what

A CATS FATAL BITE.
Horrible Suferings Of a Young Man
in South Carolina.

Horrible Sunerings of a Young Man
in South Carolina.
J. R. Bolch, a young white man, twenty
two years of age, the overseer on R H.
Cornwills plantation, in Fairfield county, s.
c., died of hydrophobia, caused by the bite
of cat. One day last fall, while passing
along the road. he saw beautiful black cat
by the roadside Thinking it would be
nice present to his young sister he both spoke
to and approached the animal 1t appeared
to be perfectly docile, and permitted him to
handle it without Offering any resist
ance. But Immediately after being lifted
from the ground it became furious, and
scratched and bit him on the right hand.
Bolch killed the cat and went on his way
thinking but little of the matter, although
he had very sore hand for about week.
On Thursday Of the week before his death
he was suddenly taken ill., experiencing great
difficulty in breathing. A physician was
summoned, but when he arrived Bolch was
unable to swallow anything When glass Of
water was handed him he went into convul.
sions, and the physicians skill failed to afford
him any relief During the intervals between
the convulsions the unfortunate young man
was perfectly rational, and often piteously
begged his friends to kill him and end his
sufferings. His paroxysms became so violent
that it was necessary to keep him tied hand
and foot. He fingered in great agony for
week, until death at last ended his sufferings.
