Place CoIer's Name before
the AssembIRge.

SARATOGA, Sept. 12.-John b.
etanchheld will be nominated for gov
srnor by the Democratic state conven-
ton, and his name will be presented to
the convention by Judge s. s. Taylor Of
Chemung.
Hon. William r. Mackey Of Erie has
been offered second place upon the ticket
and has agreed to give an answer as to
whether he will accept before the con-
vention again assemblies. Mr.. Mackey
will accept, and the head of the state
ticket will be Stanchfed and Mackey.
This fact is definitely known. Other
places upon the ticket are not so certain
and probably will not be definitely de-
termined until tomorrow.
This, however, is the ticket which
seems most probable Of final acceptance:
For Governor--John b. Stanchfeld Of
Chemung.
For Lieutenant Governor-William +.
Mnckey Of Erie.
For Secretary of State-John L. Nor
ton of Rensselaer,.
For Comptroler-Edwin A. Atwater Of
Duchess.
For Attorey General-George Nj.
Palmer of Schohare.
For Treasurer-Guy IL. Clarke Of Mad
ison.
For Engineer and Surveyor-Russell A.
Stewart of Onoudaga
Only an absolute breach OF faith can
prevent the selection of the two at the
head of this ticket, and only the per-
sistent claims of up state leaders will
upset the completed ticket. This seems
Improbable, as the candidates are ad-
mirably distributed as to geographical
conditions and probably as uniformly
satisfactory to all factions as could be
named. While many names have been
suggested as available candidates the
generally unsettled conditions have pre-
vented the appearance Of any avowed as
pirants for nomination.

speech seconding the nomination. This
expectation seems to be very much veri-
fed from the fact that when q delega-
tion called upon him to serenade him
and demanded a speech he appeared and
asked to be excused. but promised that
he would be in the convention today and
dose present would be given q chance to
hear him. Beaten at every stage In the
csmmittee and in the preliminary skir-
mishes and with a hopeless prospect in
the convention, Mr.. Hill still greets his
friends smilingly, and this situation has
led manS to believe that the shrswd
politician has a view beyond the dura-
tion of the convention and that his real
conflict is in prospect in the mayoralty
campaign in Greater New York next
year.

EASE AND DISEASE.
A Short Lesson on the Meaning OF a Fami
lar Word.

Disease is the opposite of ease Webster
defines disease as 'lack of ease, uneasness,
trouble, vexation, disquiet." 1t is a candi.
tion due to some arrangement of the physi-
cal organism, A vast majority of the "dis.
ease" from which people suffer is due to i'm
pure blood. Disease of this kind is cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, which purifes, en-
riches and vlalizes the blood. Hoods Sar.
saparlla cures scrofula, salt rheum, pimples
and all eruptions. 1t tones the stomach and
creates good appetite, ard it gives vigol
and vitality to the whole body. 1t reverse'
the condition of things, giving health, com
fort and "ease" in place of "dsease."
