 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant-tasting lozenges to be slowly dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching the mucous membrane and windpipe and finally reaching the stomach.

Seth Low was not and Is not, the choice of the people. He was an accident. He Is not the representative or the ke- puhlleans or of the Greater New xork Democrats. He was put forward by nondescript organization called the Clti- zens' Union. He was an available man.

 Since the defeat and punishment oi Tammany the gang has been deprived Of office and ineapacitated to do mischief.
