Beware of OIBtments for Cafarrh that
Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrip-
tions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. In buying Hall
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the gen
uine. 1t is taken internally, and made in
Toledo, Ohio, by F. ]. Cheney & Co.

They are eager 70 do that vet. They

The advantages Of this are now evident.

district Offices through fusion deals with
the Democrats The unity the boilers
propose does not include the motive
issue OF the fued. They have not only
not proposed common primaries for all
candidates to be selected by ballot, but
are reserving the greater number and
greater interest in order to defeat the
Union Republican legislative ticket all
over the State. No reasonable person,
no Republican who really and honestly
wants Republican unity as a basis of
complete Republican success, will advo-
cate the acceptance Of such a PROPOSE
tion. To accept it would be to condone
party treason and help in party defeat.
But we have come to this Two
State tickets have been named, and the
two State committees have been en-
powered to take down and put up such
candidates as will finally make one
State ticket for Republicans to vote.
The convention ut Dover today is not
likely TO take any drastic action on this
matter. Its advances made 1T prey
ious session have not been met in the
spirit in which they were made, and
there is no assurance that any further
concessions would produce any better
