Doyle was himself very sick for

firmation of personal experience.
The remedy that cured Mr. Doyle
is called Dodds Kidney Pills.
In speaking of the pills, Mr.. Doyle
says:
in regard to Dodd's Kidney Pills,
they are certainly wonderful medi-

PUT LINCOLN IN OFFICE.
Only Two Survivors of the Illinois
Electors


Electors.
AS the Hon. William Pitt Kellogg,
former senator from Louisiana, and
Judge Lawrence Weldon of the Court
of Claims, gave each other cordial
greeting in the lobby of the Shore
ham yesterday, the interesting fact
was recalled that these two men are
the only survivors of the Illinois cleo
tors. who in 1860 were chosen to cast
the vote of that state for Abraham
Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin.
YES" said Gov. Kellogg, Judge
Weldon and l alone are left of the
eleven, who in that historic campaign
delivered the vote of Illinois to Lin
coin. The full list of electors from
our state was: Leonard SWEET, John
NJ. Palmer, Allen c. Fuller, William
B. Plato, Lawrence Weldon, William
P. Kellogg, James Stark, James c.
Conklin, H. P. H. Cromwell, Thomas
G. Allen and John Olney. Several OF
these, notably John NJ. Palmer and
Leonard SWEET, became famed after
ward throughout the nation.
Gen. Palmer won fame in the war,
and led the Fourteenth corps In the
Atlanta campaign. He was also gov
ernor of Illinois from 1869 to 1873,
United States senator in 1892, and in
1896 was the candidate of the gold
Democrats for president.
This same year of the Lincoln
campaign" continued Gov. Kellogg in
further reminiscent vein. Richard
Yates was elected governor of I'LL
nois. As war governor he gave
Grant the opportunity that made him
the greatest general in history. Yates
was reelected to the gubernatorial
Office in 1862 and from 1855 to 1871
he served as United States senator.
His son is now governor OF Illinois"
