EOODFORD WITH THE REGULARS.
EDWARD C. BRADFORD PRESIDED
AT THE REGULAR REPUBLI-
CAN MEETING. LAST EVENING.


General Stewart l.. Woodford, of New
York, addressed regular Republican
meeting in the Auditorium last even
ing, Hon. Edward G. Bradford pre-
sided, his associates on the stage being
ex-senator Anthony Higgins, and
President T.. Tatnall Warner. of the
Mckinley and Hobart Business Mems
Republican Club.
In his speech OF introduction Mr..
Bradford said that the so-called Sound
Money Democrats, who are the real
Democrats, are no friends of Mckinley.
They do not believe in the Republican
policy of protection. Why is it then
that they are in favor of Mckinley
or are assisting him by voting for Pal
mer and Buckner? The man who would
question the Democracy OF Bayard,
OF Gray, OF Carlisle or OF Whitney,
would be a fit subject for a lunatic
asylum and yet these men eagerly look
forward to the election OF Mckinley.
They desire the defeat of Bryan,
because they know that between the
election Of Mckinley and the election
OF Bryan the former is preferable. They
are too patriotic and rise above party
lines too far to support Bryan and the
dishonest and dangerous doctrines OF
the Chicago platform. To these Demo
Gratis who have made this stand all
honor is due.
General Woodford spoke for over an

= III the United States by free coinage
can lift the silver of the world to a
parity with gold, then there could be
no cheap dollars, while under the sec
ond proposition silver could never be
put on a parity with gold. The ques-
tion simply is whether any one ma
tion. which opens its mints to the gold
and. silver of the world. could ever
maintain alone by legislation the two
metals at fixed ratio. Il might be able
to accomplish this by internationa
agreement, but no nation can do il
alone.

GILLETTEs TOO MUCH JOHNSON.

Much Johnson" which proved such a
triumphant success all one season in
New York city, will be the attraction at
the Grand Opera House next Saturday
night. TOO Much Johnson" is said TO
be fashioned in Mr.. Gillette's best style,
and filled up with many brilliant
things. This is more than should be
looked for from the man who col
laborated with Mrs. Burnett in "Esmer-
aida" who adapted THE Private Secre-
tary" in its most popular English form
and evolved Held by the Enemy" and
Secret Service" from his own brain.
He has sought TO make TOO Much
Johnson interesting not only from the
standpoint OF the story-teller, but he
has aimed at character depletion, and

Can Cure Asthma and Hay Fever.
Noted Physician Offers to Prove this to All
Sufferers In Belfast

The majority of sufferers from Asthma
and kindred complaints, after trying Doc
tors and numberless Remedies advertised as
positive cures without avail, have come to
the conclusion that there is no cure for this
most distressing disease, and these same
persons will be the more in doubt and sker,-
tical when they learn through the columns
OF the press that DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann the
recognized authority who has treated more
cases of these diseases than any living Doc
tor, has achieved success by perfecting a
remedy which not only gives immediate re-
lief in the worst cases but has positively
cured thousands of sufferers who were CON
sldered incurable. These We're Just as skep-
teal as some of our readers now are. DR..
Schitfmann's remedy no doubt possesses the
merit which is claimed for it or he would
not authorize this paper to announce that he
IS not only willing to give free to each per-
son suffering from Asthma, Hay Fever, or
bronchitis in this city one liberal "free trial
box OF his Cure, but urgently requests all
sufferers to call at A. A. Howes & Co. 8 Drug
Store, Belfast, within the next three days and
receive package absolutely free of charge,
knowing that in making the claim he does
for his Cure, a strong doubt may arise in the
minds of many; and that a personal test, as
he offers to all, will be more convincing, and
prove its merits, than the publishing of thou
sands of testimonials from persons who have
been permanently cured by the use of his
1A7ohot'et ouiO. II. ECHlH LudHH AsUulld
Cure as it is called, has been sold by Drug
glsts OF this city ever since it was first intro
duced, although many persons may never
have heard of it, and it is with view to
reaching these that he makes this offer. This
is certainly a most generous and fair offer,
and all who are suffering from any of the
above complaints should remember the date
and place where the distribution will be
made, and avail themselves of the same.
Persons living out of this city who desire to
test the efficacy of this most wonderful
remedy will receive package free by mail
by writing to DR.. R. Schitfmann, $50 Rosabel
street, St. Paul, Mimi, providing their letter
is received before Oct. 10Th, as no free sam
pies can be obtained after that date.

IL Is robbery under the forms of law.
Every official should be paid honest
wages for honest work. Nobody OBJ.
]ects to this, but when the fees of an
once annually amount to a fortune.
equal to the aggregate income of a
score of capable men employed in lines
OF profitable industry, retrenchment
ana reform are certainly in order.
The fees should all be covered into
the State Treasury, aud the State
should pay the officials a salary in
proportion to the work done and the
responsibilities undertaken. This is the
base of equity upon which labor and
compensation should stand in all EN-
Payments the world over. When this
rule is violated or ignored either by
individuals, corporations or legisla.

will be an early sequence.
