STILL LYING.

Contemplate Accusations Made
Against Mr.. cable by Els Enc
mics.
Sundays Union said that one of Mr.. 4
Cables trusted lieutenants said on Satur-
day in the presence of Mr.. Cable himself
that the latter gentleman was against the
back pay bill. the eight-hour law and the
Hennepin canal. and that Mr. Cable did
not deny it. In this matter it will be no
news to the community to learn that the
linton lies. 1t is not the most courteous
language to use to a contemporary. but
that paper seems incapable of under
standing any other form of phraseology.
At the time mentioned Mr.. Gable and
Mr.. VIM. McEniry-the latter is the
trusted lieutenant referred to-were talk
ing on the sidewalk together upon other
matters than those of which the Union
spoke. The reporter of that paper APP
preached and made himself one of the
company. McEniry said to him that he
did not think it fair that newspaper
should publish anonymous letters cbarg-
ing men with certain acts or opinions that
had no foundation 10 truth. thus prevent
ing the accused from taking TO task those
who might make The accusation. When

with being against the Henuepin canal
and the eisht-hour law or the back>pa
bill-both of these later subjects were
not mentioned. bat one Of them was-and
do not sign their names it gives him no
opportunity of dealing with the anthor as
they should he dealt with. This reporS
ter then writes that Mr. Cable is opposed
to these measures. What is the use of
discussing with such men? Or would
the office in which he is employed not
permit him to tell the truth, or did he
wilfully manufacture the lie HIMSELF II

is here stated. for a man who VIII employ

Mr.. NJ. A. Chesle editor of the Wood

met Mr.. Gable and says concerning him:
Ben Catle, the democratic candidate

his fences. He is a genial gentleman
rather different kind of a man than we
expected to meet, Judging from accounts
of him we had read in some of the par ty

Extra Liability to Malar,sl Infection

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak
and liver sluggish, extra-lBbie to the attacks
Of mslarial disease. The most trihing exposure
may, under such conditions, infect system
which, if healthy, would resist the missmatic
faint. The only way to secure immunity from
malaria in localities where IL is prevalent. is to
tone and regulate the system by improving
weakened digestion, eDriching the blood, and
giving wholesome impetus to hillary secretion.
Thess results are accomplished by nothing so
effect vely as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which
long experience has proved to be the most reliable
safeguard against fever and ague and kindred
disurtlers, rs well as the best remedy for them.
