NO weight. Mr.. Armstrong was born
IN Woodstown in 1858. The name of
Bennett Van SICKLE for Justice Of the
Supreme Court was also sent in. John
]. Jessup was nominated to be Law
Judge of Gloucester county to succeed
r. s. Clymer. They were confirmed.
On, Monday night the Senate passed

tors in Fourth class counties from $500
to $500. The Assembly on Tuesday

The counting Of the electoral vote on
Wednesday closes one Of the most mem
orable campaigns the world has eyer
seen, because it was the first time in
the history Of the world that the money
question ever came before the masses
for a decision and in four months, with
political prejudices excited, it could
not be expected that thousands could
study the question and give an unpre-
JUDGED decision. There were cast 447
electoral votes; necessary to a choice
224. For President William Mckinley
received 271 and William J.. Bryan 176,
McKinley's majority 95. For Vice
President Garrett A. Hobart received
271, Arthur Sewall 149, Thomas E.
Watson 81. Hobart's plurality 122 and
majority 95. Four years ago Cleve-
lands plurality over Harrison was 1872
and the majority 10. When it is con-
sidered that Mr.. Bryan was a compare
lively unknown man to the public be-
fore his nomination and had the admin
istrstion Of his own party and the Or
ganized influences of aggregated capital
of two continents against him it is sur
prising that his defeat was not worse
than Harrison's four years ago.

The arandest r. emedy.

Mr.. r. B. Greeve, merchant, of Chill
howie, Va, certifies that he had con-
sumption, was given up to die, sought
all medical treatment that money could
procure, tried all cough remedies he
could hear of, but got no relief; spent
many nights sitting up in a chair; was
induced to try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry, and was cured by use of two bot
ties. For past three years has been at
tending to business, and says DR.. Kings
New Discovery is the grandest remedy
ever made, as it has done so much for
him and also for others in his commun-
ity. DR.. Kings New Discovery is
guaranteed for Coughs, Colds and Con-
sumption. 1t don't fail. Trial bottles
