WILL CLEVELAND WITHDRAWN
Eaid to Favor Ex-Governor Campbell
az a Candidate.


WASHINGTON, May ia Columbus,
o., special to The Evening Star says ex-
Governor Campbell has received some
news from friends which has caused Il
furry among his political friends here.
There was hurried conference of his
confidential advisors, to whom he con-
fided his telegram, and asked their ad-
vice. II was decided that the situation
in the east regarding the Democratic
presidential nomination was such as to
make it advisable for the ex-governor to
be on hand to look after his interests,
and he will probably leave for New
York as soon as he can arrange his bust
ness interests to absent.
1t is understood that the ex-governor
has been informed that Mr.. Cleveland
has become convinced that it will be
impossible for either Hill or himself to
carry New York, and that new can
didate must be selected, and that he
had determined to write letter to this
effect and it will shortly appear In
that letter he will discreetly allude to
the troubles of the New York Denoc-
racy, and gracefully withdraw from the
race, but in doing SO will place the tar
iff question right at the front in the
issues of the day and depreciate the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time. No reference to the candidate
will be made in the letter, but it is un-
derstood that Mr.. Cleveland will quietly
throw all his influence to Governor
Campbell, who he admires alike for his
personal qualities and political opinion.

CmCAGO, April 1t is more than
probable that the cut in wool rates an
noUnccd yesterday will be extended to
include shipments Of that commodity
from Montana points. At present the
reductions apply only to compressed
wool from Colorado and Utah. The
500 is quoting rate Of - cents per
100 pounds from St. Paul to Boston
on sack wool from Montana points. The
Chicago lines have not attempted to
meet this, because the rate from Mon
tana points is the same TO Omaha that it
IS 10 81. Paul.
Consequently, if the Western roads
should Oh their own responsibility
make - cent rate from the Mississippi
river, they would be compelled to haul
the shipments free from the Missouri
river to the Mississippi. Tie only way
in which the 500 line reduction can be
met by way of Chicago is to prevail on

Smith, of New Haven, Conn, and grad
uated in medicine at Yale in 1924.
His unusual talent soon brought HIM
reputation aud prominence among his
professional brethren. In 1885 he was
elected to the professorShip of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont university
In lS41 he was appointed lecturer on
materla medica and medical botany in
Dartmouth College. The next year he
was chosen professor to the chair then
vacated by Prof. Robby. and occupied
the chair, the most important one in the
country, until few years before his
death in 1880.
He had for years foreseen the dangers
of the American way of living He
went about 10 find scientific, common
sense remedy to cure the common evils
that, under one name and another, re-
suit from an unhealthful state of the
nervous system, and within Il score of
years have seemed to be sweeping over
the country like all epidemic.
He succeeded.
He gave to the medical profession a
celebrated remedy, which has since come
to be known the world over as Paine's
celery compound.
1t was DR.. Phelps prescription, which
ever since has been freely used and pre-
Scribed by the most eminent of the pro-
feSsion. The formula was furnished to
all reputable physicians. They found
the wonderful remedy to be exactly
what was claimed for it, great nerve
and brain strengthener and restorer. 1t
was demonstrated beyond doubt that
Paine'S celery compound would cure
nervous debility and exhaustion. neu-
ralgia, sleeplessness, dyspepsia and all
blood diseases.
1t was as harmless as it was good. and
it was the universal advice of the med
ical profession that the compound he
placed where the general public could
secure it, and thousands of people have
every year proven the wisdom of this
good advice.
The recent advice of Com. Howell to
Secretary Blame TO use this compound,
which the commodore publicly said had
saved his own life, and the published
testimonials of Mayor McShane, of
Montreal, the poet-author Hardy, George
Wright, and other men of national rep
utation, has brought the compound into
special notice.
AS well-known physician in this
city says: ''Paine's celery compound
is not patent medicine: it is not sar-
saparilla: 1t is not mere tonic; it is
not all ordinary nervine-it is as far
beyond them all as the diamond is su-
