Electric Bitters,

Electric Bltters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid, exhausted feel
ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter
'atiYe is felt. A prompt use of this medi-
cine has often averted long and perhaps
fatal bilious levers. Nc medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the malarial poison.

HENRY GEORGE DEAD,

Henry George, champion of the single
tax theory and candidate of the Thomas
Jefferson democracy for mayor of Grca-
ter New York in the present campaign
died suddenly at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning at the Union Square Hotel in
New York city
His death was caused by apoplcxy,
brought on in part by the tremendous
strain under which he bad been workiu 9
i'll his mayoralty canvass.
The executive committee of the Thomas
Jefferson democracy met in the afternoon
and substituted the name of Henry George
j, for that of his father on the ticket
Mr. George was an ardent BRYAN man,
and the Thomas Jefferson democracy"
of New York consisted chiefly of men who
voted for Bryan at the last presidential
election. Messrs. George and Bryan were
devoted friends, both political and person
ally. Mr.. Bi yam telegraphed the following
to this city to-day from Ohio, where he is
making a stumping tour:
Il have Just received dispatch an
nouncing the death of Henry George
The suddcnncss with which the summons
came will make more keen the sorrow
which the public generally will feel at the
death of 50 great, so pure and SO brave a
man. BY his own unaidcd genius he
made his name familiar to the reading
public of world Those who agreed
with his theories found in him an ideal
leader, while those who opposed him
admitted his ability and moral courage
He was one of the foremost thinkers of
the world. His death will prove loss to
literature, society and politics.

THE ELECTIONS.

With the full vote of one or two coun-
ties yet to come the plurality of Phillips
Lee Goldsborough for comptroller of the
treasury of Maryland is S,?72 and that of
Gen. Allan Rutherford for clerk of the
Court of Appeals is 1862.
Judge Robert A. Van Wyck was elected
mayor of Greater New York by about
1913 plurality. The democrats carried
New York State, electing Alton B Parker
chief judge of the Court of Appeals by
about IS, 000
In Virginia the democratic State ticket
was elected by probably 10000 majority,
on very light vote, and the Legislature
is overwhelmingly democratic in both
branches. This secures the re election of
Hon. John w. Daniel to the United States
Senate
The republicans elected their State tick
ct in Pennsylvania by large majorities.
Philadelphia voted by 1864 majority to

The democratic poDulist ticket in Ne
braska was elected by a larger majority
than was given Bryan last year.
Democrats elected the mayor and city
treasurer of Detroit.
Roger Wolcott, republican, was chosen
Governor of Massachusetts by $4,000.
The Ohio Legislature is probably re-
publican by a majority of five on joint bal

kentucky's democratic majority is more
than $4,000
The result in Colorado is in doubt, and
the official count will probably be neces-
sary to decide it.
The republicans elected six of the eight
circuit judges voted for in South Dakota.
The indications are that the republicans
have elected Il majority of their Kansas

In the New Jersey Legislature the re
