OFF DUTY.

1t is essential to the well being of the
physical economy that the kidneys and
bladder should be eternally active, that
they should never go "off duty" II they
do the kidneys fail to secrete from the
blood the watery element and the impur-
tiles that should be thrown off by the
bladder and both organs suffer in organic
health from their inaction, and incur dan
gerous maladies. Among these are
Bright's disease of the kidneys, diabetes,
retntion of the prime, gravel, dropsy, etc.
These are no trides, but obstinate diseas-
es. developing rapidly, and terminating
too often fatally. To prevent or check
them. the safest and most effectual means
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
gives healthful impetus to, but never
excites the renal organs, like the fiery,
, unmedicated stimulants of commerce
Malaria, dyspepsia, constipation, liver
trouble, nervousness and debility are
remedied by the genial medicine. useful
in convalescence and old age. a wine

BRADLEY MAY BE ELECTED
COMBINE AT FRANKFORT CON-
FIpENT OF DEFEATING HUNTER
Twenty. One Republicans Said to be
Pledged 10 Vote For the Governor
1.-The Other Size of 1t.
Especial to the Post.)

Frankfort, Ky, March 1S.-The fol
lowing statement given out to-day by eX-
State Senator Ed. Parker explains why
there is an earnest attempt on the part
of certain Republicans to defeat DIR.
Hunter for Senator:
.'The free silver pledge signed by Hun
ter showed him not 10 be in sympathy
with the Republican party on the great
question of the currency, as he was insin-
cere to those to whom he gave this
pledge, and in any event it made him
very unsatisfactory candidate to the Re
publican party, which party had fought
and won the great victories on this issue
So in the defeat of Holt for the Republi
can nomination the sound money Demo
Gratis felt they had been slapped in the
face.
"They naturally turned to some one up
on whom they could depend, and as no
one more fully represented their idea
on the currency than the Governor, they
turned to him. The Blackburn men saw
certain defeat ahead of their candidate,
but they, too. believe in sincerity. They
readily joined in the movement. Brad
leys friends, against his solemn protest,
joined them, and made Bradley's election
now question beyond doubt. No power
on earth can prevent it. No scheming
can move a single man from the position
he has taken. The Governors election
will be practically unanimous"
The Hunter people claim tonight to
have a sure thing, but the combine say
they have the names of twenty-one Re
publicans signed and pledged to vote for
Bradley as soon as enough Democrats
sign a similar pledge to make his election
certain. There are SiXty-four Democrats,
while only fifty are necessary to elect
Bradley, and there are but six or seven
out of the sixty-four that are kicking
against voting for the Governor. The
situation looks very ticklish for Hunter.
The Blackburn men are in earnest
about electing Bradley, but they would
just as soon see Hunter meanwhile get
so desperate that to head off Bradley he
will sign an agreement of no election.
The sound-money Democrats see nothing
in it but an election, and are all coming
around to the election of Bradley, though
some of them dislike the thought of an
election for Governor this fall, which
must follow if Bradley is elevated to the
Senate.

Washington, March 19.-(SpeciaD-
Nearly all the prominent Republicans OF
North Carolina are now in the city.
HI. Grant and w. S. OBJ. Robinson,
of Goldsboro; Spencer B. Adams, OF
Yanceyville; l.. M. Walker, of Milton;
J. M. Milliken, of Asheboro; A. ID.
Cowles, of Statesville; JAS. Atkins, and

Ormsby, of Winston; Alex. ii. koonce,
J. o. King, B. III. Baker, A. r. Sigmon
and w. +. Williams, of Hickory are "a
mong the latest arrivals.
The Russell solution" as it is now
called. has brought forth this army. 1t
was reported this evening that Gov.
Russell was on his way to Washington
to confer with the party leaders about
the judgeship, but u later report says
that the Governor has declined to be a
party to the solution" and that Pur-
nell will get the place. 1t is, also, said
that Pritchard's slate has been smashed,
and that J. M. Milliken will be the Mar
shall Of the Western district.
This is only one effect of the dissolu-
tion caused by the premature exposure OF
the solution. Russelrs friend, Marsh
Mott, has gained a point in the contest
for the district attorneyship of the West
ern district, and Claude Bernard has
moved up several points in the fight for
the same Office for the Eastern district.
Jim Boyd, w. s. OBJ. Robinson and Tom
Settle have lost ground rapidly since
Ormsby, the Orangeman, and Reynolds,
the Junior order man came to the city.
State Senators Whedbee and Sharp
and Spencer Blackburn are here boom
ing III. p. Cheatham for the office of
Register of the Treasury. Whedbee,
Blackburn and Cheatham called ON the
President to-day, and came away well
pleased. Cheatham claims to have the
endorsement of the entire Republican
de, ,gation from the State. He is the
only man upon whom all factions have
united. This fact entities him to the dis
tinction of being the one truly repre-
sentative Republican of North Carolina.
Everything is at sea among North
Carolina Republicans tonight. AS man
said to me to-day, "They are running
your man Pritchard, giving him the
ID"
Among recent North Carolina arrivals
are: G. w. f. Harper, j. l.. Harper, S.

CAROLINA OFFICE SEEKERS.

The North Carolina people are having
a warm time over the positions in their
State. The Republicans of the delega-
ton were to have held meeting yester-
day to select between the large number
Of candidates and make recommended
tons to the President, but were unable
to come to decisions and will meet again.
The failure to do something is due to
the large number of North Carolina men
here pushing their claims before the dele
CATION. Senator Pritchard was at the
White House this morning with fifteen
or twenty North Carolinians who want
ed to meet the President of the State
ed to meet the President. Among these
were Representative Chaplin of the State
legislature, Il. J. Axley, of Statesville,
J. w. c.. Long, of the State committee
and John C. Dancy, colored, who is a
candidate for recorder of deeds of the
District of Columbia. Dancy said to a
Star reporter that he has the backing of
the solid delegation of his State and of
other Southern Republicans. He is quite
confident Of receiving the appointment.
Dancy is the editor of religious paper
He was collector of customs at Whining
ton under President Harrison.
Representatives Linney and Pearson of
North Carolina were visitors to the Presi-
dent, being accompanied by ex-Repre-
sentative Settle of the same State.
Messrs. Linney and Pearson earnestly
urged the President to appoint Mr.. Set
tleas Judge of the Eastern district of
North Carolina. Mr.. Settle will, IN all
probability, secure the appointment. He
was defeated for Congress in the last
election.

Laurinburg, n. c., March 19.-(SpeciaD
Rev. G. G. Vardell, president of Red
Springs Female College preached a very
interesting series of sermons in the Pres
byterian church here last week. Mr..
Vardell says the college is dn a most
fourishing condition and already steps are
being taken for the erection of additional
buildings.
Last Wednesday morning, Mr.. l.. a.
Monroe, of our town, on going out to
his lot, discovered that his fine Jersey
mich cow was missing. Upon investd-
CATION, it was evident that the cow had
been stolen. Mr.. Daniel Shaw, a sales
man in Mr. Monroe's store assumed the
job of hunting up the thief. Mr.. Shaw
followed the track with some difficulty
to the town of Mccall, S. c., 8 miles
below here. There he ran up with the
thief (Jno. Rush, colored boy of this
place. who had disposed of the COW for
the small sum of $500 and was just
in the act of receiving the pay when Mr..
Shaw nabbed him. He was brought here
and tried before Mayor Cook, who
bound him over to court in a bond of
500, in default of which, Sheriff Nc
Laurin, escorted him to the county prison
yesterday afternoon. Rush is a peniten-
tiary bird and will doubtless have an
other sojourn in his favorite resort. While
we rejoice at this speedy capture, we, by
no means feel safe yet,as public sentiment
bears us out in the assertion that there
are others"

Fetner as reported in yesterdays OBJ
server. was noticed with regret by our
citizens. He was brother Of our towns
man, Mr.. II. III. Smith, who has resided
