WHITES TIE NATTER

The startling reports about the re-
newal of the Blaine boom find a very
cold and dismal reception in the Intelli-
gcnce'S columns. And it dosen't seem
to make a bit of difference how truthful
the reports seem to be. Nothing I'M
favorable to little Mr.. HARRISON is
shown any quarter by our neighbor.
Why is it; and WHY'S not Mr. BLAINE
the Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE, Of Maine,
the P.umed Knight, etc.-yiewed in the
same light he used TO be by the esteem
ed Hltcligmccr}
We have the word Of Mr.. BLAINE's
intimate friends, backed by the doctors
themselves, that he is enjoying perfect
health. The real leaders Of the Repub-
lican party want him to accept the nom
ination, which is his il he will have 1t.
He is not too old TO have lost ambition.
Every Republican who is not owned
body and soul by Mr.. HARRISON wants
him and is dead sure he can be elected.
Mr.. BLAINE was never known TO decline
a sure thing. lie has written a brief
and probably hasty declination of
which his most intimate friends have
been denying the inality ever since. A
regularly organized movement in his
behalf has been started and is decidedly
under way. Aud allthis has been going
on without an authoritative sign from
Mr.. BLAINE that he will not accept the
nomination.
Yet, while the Blaine boom was never
more alive than it is to-day, the htellt-
gcncer gets mad at the very mention of
BLAINE's name, and does nothing but
snarl at the growing boom Of the Re-
publican idol Has the H,telli-enccr
one with ha}dsomer man, or-what

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
A Prominent Professional Mans Extraor-
binary Statement.

To the Editor, SIR: As my name and face have
appeared in your paper and the public prints
lately and as many OF my professional breth-
rem are wondering at it. ! feel il only Just that
| should make an explanation. The statement
published over my name was msde ten years
ago, after long and matufe investigation, and
have never changed my mind rs TO the facts
then stated At that time / said as a physi-
clan, that I believed Warmers safe Cure was
the best of all known preparations for the
troubles il was advocated 10 cure. and sag so
snH know it is considered the proper thing
for the medical profession to decry proprietary
and other advertised articles; but why should
they do so? As the late DR.. J. G. Holland
writing over his own name in ScJib1tsr's Month
~, said; ,,,h..n,o, -. ho.. o,,,o
tary medicines OF the day are more successful
than many physicians, and most OF them were
first discovered or used In actual medical prac-
tlce: when, however, any person knowing their
virtue and foreseeing their popularity secures
and adyertses them, in the opinion OF the big
oted all virtue went out OF them"
Dr. Holland WAS an educated physician, an
unprejudiced observer, and he spoke from a
broad and unusual experience. Proprietary
med cine should not be decried. The evidences
OF their value are overwhelming l have seen
patients recover from gravel, Inflammation OF
the bladder and Bright'S disease after using
Warmers Safe Cure, even after all other treat
ment had failed
make this frank and unbroken statement
in the interests OF humanity and because
know il TO be true. trust for the same reason
you will give it 10 the public. Respectfully,

The new boat building at Marietta
for the Muskingum river trade is ready
to launch as there is water enough to
float her off.
The Joe Nixon will have her new
shaft in position and wheel rebuilt and
ready for business within few days.
She might have made another trip or
two with her cracked shaft, but it was
considered risky as it was liable TO
break at any time.
Mr. J. n. Wylie, retired river pilot,
who began plotting on the Mississippi
in 1886, is much surprised at the state
ment OF pilots who say the Concord
could not be taken safely to St. Louis on
the present water. He thinks If the
pilots were as we'll educated as they
should be they would have given differ
ent advice.
Capt. Lew Moores, who is making a
round trip on the Congo, is an old-time
steamboatman, and did some steamboat
ing here away back in the 4OS. He had
not been here for forty years, and his
