its being the last day of the court as it
now exists and because of the remarks
which followed the presentation Of reso-

by Samuel A. Macalister. The remark
came from the court and dozen members
of the bar, after which the resolution was
ordered spread on the court records
Regarding the Courts sitting, Walter
Hayes and several other lawyers thanked
the court for courtesles received during It's
existence and expressed the hope that the
judges might DO returned. Replying Chief
Justice Lore and his Associates Judges
Cullen and Marvel, said they thanked the
members of the bar for their kind remarks
and although they were not re appointed,
hoped the feeling between the bench and
bar in the future would be as pleasant as
it had been. There was a handskaking
afterward which scene created an impress
sion.
The business of the morning, outside of
the above matters, was light. Commits
sionors returns in the divorce case of Pierre

MAKE LIFE EASY.
For the Old Folks--Lighten
the Burden Their Aged
Backs Must Bear.

Old age has many infrmities, none of
which are more prevalent than kidney
disorders Have you ever noticed how tho
old people complain of backache, lame
back and general listlessnessg And there
are many other symptoms Of which thoy
do not speak, such as bloating Of the
limbs, painful and infrequent urination
or excesslveness Of urinary discharge.
Most people think they are too old to find
relief and cure, but this is not SO. No
better evidence than the following which
comes from Newark citizen:
Mrs. b. Knott is o resident of Newark.
Her address Is % Academy street, where
she has little vegetable and grocery
store, Mrs. Knott is seventy.two years OF
age and kidney trouble has made the
work of attending to her little store q
burden. She says: "For number Of years
l have been very bad at times, and during
the last year l have grown worse. The
STOPPING over and lifting In my store
nearly broke me down. / could hardly
sleep ut night, and the only position In
which could get any rest was flat on my
back. l even found 1t painful to rise after
sitting any length Of time. Every little
exertion or the slightest cold affected my
kidneys and would settle In my back It
would cause retention of the urine also.
l began TO take Doan's Kidney Pills for
my trouble and grew much better. Con.
tinuing their use l got entirely over my

mehded them to mary friends and shall

Letter from William J. Hogan.

EDITOR OF REPUBLICAN: Il recollect
reading an editorial in the REPUBLICAN,
the date of which do not remember, and
at this time have not the time to hunt
for it. However, in the article mentioned
you claimed that the Single Takers gave
their sympathy and support to the Dem.
ocratic ticket, that was up for election or
rejection on November 81, 1896.
Now in tho face of this evidence afforded
by the election held on Saturday, June 5,
1897, you will observe that in the case of
mayor, H. C. McLear had plurality of
567 votes over DR.. John G. Fahey while
G. Beadenkopf Single lax candidate,
polled 625 votes. If DIR. Fahey had receiv.
ed those 5d7 Single Tax votes, he would
have been elected Mayor by plurality of
so votes. Was this assisting the Demo-
Gratis?
In the case of President of City Council
c. M. Leitch had IA plurality of 35l votes
over W. b. Norton, while H. +. Nelson
polled $40 votes. If Norton had poled the
$40 Single tax votes he would have had
plurality of IA over c. NJ. Leltch. Was
this assisting the Democrats?
In the case of City Treasurer W. c.
Curry had plurality Of 279 votes over
Hartmann while Thomas Mullen poled
vote Of 900 single takers. If Hartmann had
received this vote his plurality over Curry
the Democrat ticket
In the case of City Solicitor, H. G. Con.
rad had II plurality of 6l7 over Robert q.
Hartman, If Hartman had received the
smallest vote cast for single tax ticket
500 votes he would have defeated Conrad
by majority of "a Was this assisting
the Democrat ticket
The Single Tax people are out for single
tax and do not care who gives it trial in
this State. Ii the Republican party will
give it IL trial in this State, then the Single
Takers will be with them tooth and nail.
As for Robert G. Harman, have been in.
formed that he said he could not for the
life Of him sec why the Single Takers
sighted him and voted for Conrad. have
to say in answer to that, that we know,
and IL he wants to find out let him ask US
through the columns Of the press and /
will tell him. WILLIAM j. HOGAN,
kentmere, Del.
Notc-Our correspondent is mistaken.
Mr., MoLear had a plurality Of go votes.
Had the Single Takers therefore cast 567
votes for DR., Fahey, Mr.. MCLear would
still have been elected as he would have
had plurality of over 100 votes.
Mr.. Hogans figures regarding the other
candidates are equally erroneous as the
Republican ticket received more than 100
votes than be has given credit for.
