The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease shat science has
been able to cure in all stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to the
madical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the fouuda-
ton of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list Of

The following goes into the press

years of age, stuck a needle in her
foot when a child of 8, never be-

days she has experienced a sore
feeling in one of her ears, and upon
examination the point of needle
was found breaking through the
skin, evidently the one that she
had stuck i'll her foot thirty-fve

some people but we fail to see

no FIGHT WITHIN THE PARTY.
Mayor Mark VI. Pagan OF Jersey City Is Not
Cast Down by His Defeat.

Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan Of Jersey City,
one Of the leaders OF the New Idea party
which was defeated by the Republican
regulars in New Jersey at Tuesdays prim-
airy elections, gave out this last night:
Il deem il wise TO make a public state
ment to correct certain misapprehensions
which l fine exist in reference TO the politi-
cal situation. / wish to make it perfectly
clear, in the first place. that the fight which
we nave been waging has been made and
will be made within party lines. We are
all Republicans and intend to act as such.
There will be no attempts made on our
part to run an independent ticket, nor will
we attempt or consent to make any trade
or compromise. This is a fight on our part
to incorporate certain principles into the
platform and creed Of the Republican party,
and by that means to enact those principles
into the statute law OF the State.
I'VE believe that we can soonest accom-
plish that result by acting within the Re-
publican party. To that end We i'll urge
our delegates to go 10 the county convention
and city convention, and there to make a
fight TO incorporate into the party platform
the principles for which we fought during
the primary campaign, and to secure the
nomination OF men who are committed to
those principles. Failing to accomplish this
result in the conventions, we shall go on
with the fight until we succeed in having
these principles adopted as the platform OF
the party.
Il desire also to announce that we have
already perfected plans for making a fight
to obtain control of the county committee
at the December party primaries. In
pursuance of that plan our friends IN every
part Of the county will tomorrow go TO
the enrolment places and enroll all OF the
Republican voters in their respective wards
and townships. l earnestly urge all he
publicans in every part OF the county 70
have their names placed upon the Re
publican enrolment, 40 that they can be
qualified to take part in the December
primaries.
we have no reason to be cast down at
the result OF the primaries on Tuesday.
We have carried seven Of the twelve wards
for our local candidates, and we nave a
large majority Of the Republican popular
vote that was cast at the primary in our
favor, and in addition We are now assured
that a majority Of the delegates in the
Ninth Congressional district will vote Tor
the nomination of James W. Mccarthy.
~We have heard from our workers IN
every part of the county and are grained
TO find that they are all ready to go on with
renewed vigor to continue the hght Tor the
triumph Of our principles. Our TRENDS
everywhere can rest assured that the nght
for these principles will he carried on
vigorously and consistently and that no
dicker or trade will be entered into IN any
one Of the conventions
