Can You Imaqine It7

Imagine Chancellor McGiIl, had he been
elected Governor, signing such an uncon-
stitutional and extremely partisan law as
the one signed by Governor Griggs last
week, extending the tenn of Republican
Office holders in Newark and Jersey City |!
People were told that Mr.. Griggs was an
independent, high toned gentleman, too
honest to stoop to any doubtful act, or to
be controlled by the bosses but how the
independent voters were fooled! Talk
about partisan legislation by former DEM
ocratic Legislatures, approved by DEM
ocratic Governors; it cannot be compared
with what has been manifested the past
year under Republican rule.

Kentucky,s Senatorial DeadIock

Frankfort, April yesterday was
an exciting day in the legislature
which adjourned at D. m. Seven
ballots were taken during the day for
United States senator, making AZ bal
lots that have been taken at the pres
ent extra session. The vote in some
of the ballots was changed by tenn
porary pairs, but none of the changes
were material. DIR. Hunter, the Repub-
lican nominee. had 81 votes, and the
field had 63. The field had just
the required number for election, but
the Blackburn men, the gold Demo-
Gratis and boiling Republicans could
not unite on anyone. Ex-Secretary
Carlisle was urged as a compromise
candidate. but he secured no votes.

Here is something from Senator Chandler
Republican, of New Hampshire, which the
editors of Republican papers can put in
their pipes and smoke:-
:" If the Republican party shall content
itself with seizing and enjoying the spoils
of Office, surrendering unreservedly to the
money power which so effectively con-
tributed to it's recent victory, aequiescing
permanently in the existing gold standard
and treating bimetallism as a Juggling
humbug' and the promise to promote it as
pledge never intended to be fulfilled, Re
publicans will speedily find the tide OF
political battle once more turned against
them, and they will soou exchange places
with their now sore, bleed ng and PROSTATE
foes"

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caued by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir.

it was not designed as charity, being
nothing more nor less than an advertising
scheme. 1t however resulted in great good
just the same. They gave away 1000 bot
ties of their digestive Cordial to those suf-
fering from stomach arrangements
It was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their praises of it and in consequence a
large demand for the Cordial was at once
created.
The druggists of this town have little

Cordial creates an appetite. aids digestion
