Former President Resents Attempt to

PRINCETON. March 19-''Words
have been put into my mouth which en-
tirely misrcpresent my position in poll
tics. l never said l had retired from
active politics TO act as the party's ad-
wiser. To be thus pictured as an old
Brahmin seated in the background and
aspiring to manage things my own way.
is alike distastcful to me and absolutely
false as TO my true position" said
President Cleveland at his home at
his home at Princeton yesterday.
1t was Mr.. Clevelands sixty-sixth
birthday, and it found him apparently
Ave years younger and certainly thirty
pounds lighter than did the anniversary
a years ago. He continued:
Il feel keenly the injustice of this
Misrepresentation and desire most en-
phatically to disclaim any desire or
purpose TO sit in the background and
manage the Democratic party
But when asked for a statement of his
exact position. Mr.. Cleveland smilingly
shook his head and replied
No. l have nothing 10 say at this
time. Absolutely nothing"

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old-Fashioned Medicines for Catarrh
No Longer in Vogue.

For many years past the usual treat
ment for catarrh diseases was with
local douches, sprays. inhalers and
liquid medicines composed principally
Of alcohol. all of which never cured bur
simply give the temporary relief AMI
stimulation
A thorough cure can be made only BY
the treatement which removes the ca
tarrhal poisons from the blood
new remedy which meets the re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing catarrh
is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membrane only.
They can hardly pe classed as a Sc
cTet patent medicine as they are COM
posed or such valuable remedies as
blood root. Hydrastin. red gum OF Eu-
calyptus tree and similar antiseptics
combined in tablet form. which cure By
eliminating from the blood and mucous
membrane the pOisons of catarrh.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenses to be taken
internally. allowing them TO dissolve in
the mouth. thus reaching the throat
trachea and finally the stomach
II desired they may also be dissolved
in water and used as a douche, in addi-
ton 10 the internal use. but IL is not
a all necessary to use a douche: a few
of them dissolved In the mouth daily
will be sufficient. However. when there
is much stoppage OF the nose a douche
made from these tablets viii give I'M
mediate relief but the regular daily use
internally will cure the whole catarrhal
trouble without resorting 10 the incon-
venience of a douche.
DR.. Bennett stated that the internal
treatment OF catarrh by means of pleas
ant nedicated tablets is rapidly taking
the place Of donches and local appliea-
tions" and further says that probably
the best and certainly the safest remedy
at present on the market Is the Stuarts
Catarrh Tablets. as no secret is made OF
their composition and all the really
Efficient catarrh remedies are eoncen-
trated in this tablet"
Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh TAD

and he will tell you there is no safer.

IL now running FOR circuit Judge

JUDGE GoRDoN's SPEECH
Judge Gordon led of with Il
speech Of one hour, durin Z
which he defended the course of
the Governor 10 the matter Of col
lecting the military claim Of Ken
lucky by Capt Cslhoon from the
Federal Government He said
Bradley had spent $500 of the peo-
pies money in a vain effort to col
lect the claim and had then given
it up as an impossibility, when
Gov. Beckhsm took it up and with
the assistance of Capt. Calhoon
collected the debt and thus saved
the State million and quarter
Of dollars. He also defended the
action of the State officers in de-
voting this money to the payment
of the State debt, instead Of inves-
ting it in new State capitol.
The Judge spoke at some length
as to the liability of franchise to
taxation, contending that as a
franchise was thing of tangible
value it was equally subject to tax
alton, to the extent of that value,
