ing "a food of generalization" In
some of the states resting in stagnant
pools, communicating the atmosphere OF
liberty. and threatening death to every
thing virtuous, noble, and free"-even
to the republic itself.
This was putting the case very
strongly, but M doubt Mr. Kendall de-
voutly believed all he alleged.
The Harrison men-o:herwise the
whigs-were not in the least moved by
the complaints and charges of the
democrats, otherwise the "locofocos,"
but continued to hold their big meet

their hard cider and to drag their
canoes md log cabins on wheels
through the streets and along the coun-
try roads. They got back" at the To-
cofocos with charges quite as serious
as those against which they were called
upon to defend. They declared that
Mr.. Van B:ren-whose father had kept
a country tavern-was an aristocrat;
a monarchist, in fact: who lived in
royal style in White House, who ate
his soup out of spoons of gold and his
pie with knives of silver; who honor
ed the rich and despised the poor; who
demanded a standing army of 100000
men under his own control, for what
sinister purpose of enslavement of the
people is easily inferred. He had wasted
public revenues. had increased the pub
lie expenditures, and had added $780,
000, 900 to the public debt. He was
hostile to the churches in all their
sects, and sought the destruction OF the
ministers of religion. He was the
enemy Of free labor. who aimed to
bring the wages OF American workmen
to the European level, and to destroy
the profits of American farmers.
Among the minor charges were two:
That he had established new minis in
which it cost 40 per cent. of the value
of gold eagles to coin them. and that
turned out ten-cent pieces at a cost OF
thirty cents each! And great deal

more of the same kind, ending. with a
declaration that one term was enough
for any man.
In fact, however, the real issues of the
campaign related to currency and
banking and the tariff. AS 10 the lat
ter, the Harrison Tor whig) doctrine
was not so high as later tariffs. Harri-
sons position on that subject was au-
thoritatively stated in these words: He
is in favor of such judici0us tariff regu-
lations as shall provide for the actual
wants of the government and protect
the national industry, without afford
ing the means of extravaganza, or a
surplus beyond what may be necessary
to discharge its current and existing
obligations" holding it Ito be the duty
of the government to keep it's expenses
within its ordinary revenues" 1t was,
how ever. the opinion of Gen. Harrison
and his supporters that even upon this
moderate view of tariff legislation a
sufficient protection might be had to
give to tn" farmers profitable prices
for their products, and to the artisans
and laborers Of the country constant
employment, fair wages, and prompt
pay-in short, "$2 day and roast
beef"

The delegations assembled for third
time, and, further informed, again con-
sidered and balloted, and again sent
their ballots to the aggregated COM
mittees, who again compared, consid-

process was repeated until majority
of the votes was found to have been

discovery Of a majority The fact was
communicated to the delegations in

Nerves are weak, many people say, and yet they do not seem to know that they are literally starving their nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood can not give proper sustenance - that is why you are nervous, tired, exhausted. The cure for this condition is to purify, vitalize and enrich your blood. Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and faithfully, and the rich, red blood, which it makes, will soon feed the nerves the elements of true strength they require; they will cease their agi- tation and wiH resume their proper place = being under the control in- stead of controlling the brain and body.

 Friday will be Elks' day at Savin Rock and from all parts of the state delegations of E,lks will attend. The Consolidated railroad is running excur- sion rates on that day and visitors from every division of the line can obtain passage at reduced price.
 The principal attraction will be the ball game between picked hines from the New Haven and Waterbury lodges. This game is the last of the series played by Elk lodges throughout the state and will decide the winner of the handsome silver cup which is the prize for the championship. The hines are strong and it win be a good game of ball playing. Game will be called at 330 o'clock
 The attendance at the game Is sure to be good as already the members have sold nearly 300 tickets. A brass band has been engag ged for the occa- sion.
 New Haven lodge will meet on Thursday night to make final arrange ments. On that night also, five new members will be initiated.
 As soon as the ball game is out of the way the local lodge will begin to prepare for it's minstrel show The success of last winters performance has spurred them on to greater efforts. The coming show will be more elabor- ate and better in every way. It will not be put on until after three months rehearsal.
