In recent letter to the manufacturers
Mr.. w. Benjamin, editor of the Spect-
ator, Rushford, n. Y. says: at may
be pleasure to you to know the high
esteem in which Chamberlain medi
cines are held by the people ofyour own
state, where'they must be best known.
An aunt of mine, who resides at Dexter.
Iowa was about to visit me few years
since, and before leaving home wrote
me, asking if they were sold here, stat
ing if they were not she would bring a
quantity with her, as she did not like to
be without them" The medicines re
ferred to are Chomberlain's Cough Re
medy, famous for its cures of colds and
Group; Chamberlain Pain Balm for
rheumatism, lame back, pains in the
side and chest, and Chamberlain s Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for
bowel complaints. These medicines
have been in constant use in Iowa for
almost a quarter of a century. The
people have learned that they are articles
of great worth and merit, and unequal
ed by any other. They are for sale here

How 1t viii Pan Out,

When the next Legislature meets to
elect Y. s. Senator Col. Money will
come into the ring with the majority
of votes, but not enough to be elected.
This will create dead lock which will
drag for time and afford chance for
dark horses. We are inclined to the
opinion that Gen.. Georges friends are
grooming him for the occasion. His
name will be presented TO break the
deadlock, but when the break comes
and allegiances are :absolved, che sup.
porters of A. j. McLaurin will appear
upon the scene and he will be rushed
through. "Noens Volens" In the
present political situation, he is the
strongest man before the people. and
if he comes out of the present canvass
against the Populltes with flying col
ors, which he should do, he will have
regained any prestage he may have
lost. and will be invincible before
free silver assembly. His career in the
National Senate was brief but credit
able and had he claimed the situation
it would by courtesy and party usage
been his. But we suspect there was a
rab bits foot in somebody's pocket that
was worked against him. This will
only intensity the determination of his
friends. McLaurin will not be can
didate at any stage of the game by his
act or consent, but he will be the Sena-
tor all the same; and he will accept,
and be justified in doing so: because
no man by reason of personal ambi-
ton, pride and duty to constituents
cou refuse an Office brought to him
on silver waiter. Caesar loved Rome
hut he loved Caesar better, and with
more unwavering and abiding atfec-
5tion. Many moons ago, before the
Senate adjourned. when Gen. George
was sitting in Washington-but giving
out his views on the money question
we hinted that he might he bidding for
the free silver vote with view to re-
election. Not long ago we said if he
was not his own successor McLaurin
would be the man. Gen. George par
ticipated in the State Convention and
the distribution of his favors would
seem to confirm this view, hut we be-
lieve the above solution Of the problem
will be the true one.
