Republican Congressional Convention Of
Third Congressional District.

A delegate convention Of the Republican
electors OF the Third Congressional District
Of the state OF Wisconsin IS hereby called TO
meet at Spring Green on the ninth day Of
August 1893 at y o'clock, noon, for the pur-
pose Of placing in nomination Republican
candidate for Congress for the Third Dis
trlct, and for the transaction Of such other
business as may properly be brought before
said convention.

to Crafts opposition every body knew
him and it made very little difference
whether he was opposed or not. More
important measures crowded the bill
out and it never came up for passag
As to Mr. Babcock's position on
the liquor question Mr.. Babcock was
largely instrumental in securing the
passage of the very stringent law now
in force in tie District of Colum bia.
Crafts wanted it repealed and one Of
his own substituted, but by this time
the committee knew Crafts.
may say, in conclusion, that the
falsity of the charges made by Crafts
and Dawson is proven by the fact
that Speaker Reed has twice appointed
Mr.. Babcock chairman of the commit
tee on the District Of Columbia. This
committee is one the composition
of which vitality affects the people of
Washington and the surrounding
country. 1t has very large share in
their government and the Speaker
gives great weight TO the wishes of
the people of Washington and vicinity
in the appointment Of chairman. Is
it to be believed that the Speaker has
listened TO the worse rather than to
the better element in making the
appointment? ] speak with full
knowledge when say that the church
people warmly recommend Mr.. Bah
cocks work upon the District Com
mittee. Congress cannot be dictated
to by cranks, nor may a few fanatics
of the Crafts order control district or
any other legislation
] have written this without sug-
gestion from Mr.. Babcock or any
OF his friends. have done so because
the political methods employed by
the writers of these letters are despic-
able. The broad statements of the
secretary Of the Reform Bureau"
which he would never dare make in
Washington, he believes may be safely
flooded, via. DAWSON, in the Third
District of Wisconsin. l have done
my best to give the voters fair esti-
mate of the man who sends them out.
! shall be delighted to meet Mr..
Crafts on the stump. He promises to
come out and annihilate Mr. Babcock
if the latter is nominated. | hope he
will bring Dawson with him.
GEORGE B. CLEMENTsoN.
p. 81 may state that the fellow
Crafts is refused admittance to sew
eral of the committee rooms both on
the Senate and House sides of the
capitol, because he has made himself
so obnoxious and has so abused the
privileges accorded by the committees
to the public interested IN legislation.

No man is better known and liked in
that rich tier Of Illinois counties, of which
Peoria IS the centre, than genial Chester S.
Harrington, Of Princevil1e, Iii.
Mr.. Harrington IS veteran Of the late
war. Like many another brave soldier, he
suffered not only during that service, bot
for years afterwards from diseases con-
tracted then.
For years his health was shattered; his
sufferings increased. He was unable to
gain relief, but now he tells story which
is Of profit to many:
II served three years in the 124th Iii
nois, existing at Kewanee, Ill.," said he.
II was in Libby Prison and suffered ike
many another Northern soldier.
The strain of army life did its work in
undermining my health, although the COL
lapse did not come for sometime after.
For fifteen years suffered from general
debility and nervousness so badly that
could not sleep. Indigestion resulted and
my, misery increased.
my eyes began to fail, and as my body
lost vitality my mind seemed to give way.
| could scarcely remember events that hap
pened but few weeks before.
For two years was omitted for busi-
ness. Twas just able to creep around dur
ing part of this time, and there were many
times when could not get up.
my brother is doctor, but all his
efforts to help me failed to give any relief.

garding cures that had been Effected 81

decided to try them. That was In 1896,

ing to instructions. =
"Four days later I had the happiest
hours I had known for years. That night

"After I had taken four boxes of tie
pills, found that was cured and had also

his greatly surprised my friends, who
thought my case was a hopeless one. Be-
gan my work again and have continued
ever since in excellent health. :
"Another valuable gain to me was, that
while | was taking these pills had been
cured OF the smoking habit which had
formed when was a boy and had c1unz
to me all these years. The craving foe
tobacco left me and l have never expo
rienced it since.
Il cannot say enough for these pills and
have recommended them to many" j
To verify this statement MIR. HARRINGTON
made affidavit to its truthfu1ness before

them potent remedy, and all self them.
