and kept me in misery all The time. AT
night could not sleep and my heart
troubled me. 1 was frequently con
fined to my bed.
81 tried several doctors but got lit
tie help and no encouragement from
them, for they said L could not expect
to live for more than year or so even
with the best of care and advised me
not to try and work. then tried
many remedies but with little benefit
until 1 began to use DR.. Williams

. cancy caused by the appointment of
t Senator Lot Morrill, as Secretary of
!. the United States Treasury, and was
I elected for a full senatorial term in
r 1882.
In every attempt he made to secure
8 the presidential nomination, however
: the Mulligan letters We're brought NJ
n against him. They figured in the Repub
d lican national conventions of 1876, 1885,
o and 1884. in all of which he was prom
% inent candidate. When he finally sc
2 cured the nomination, in 1884, the Mul
e ligan letters would not down. The,
g. caused the loss of thousands of Repub
20 lican and Independent votes. He nigh
have been elected, even with this loss
al but for the Burchard incident.
le Democratic managers made the most o
$. Burchard IS break, and showed tina
lie Blaine's mother was a Catholic, an
m that his sister was nun in a conven
Of in Pennsylvania. In those days rae
ne and religious prejudices were stronge
as than at present, and it was believe
C. that Blaine's defeat was in some d.
Sc gree due to the Irish and Catholic vol
ye which turned against him in the la
at days of the campaign.
N. Blaine had a strong hold on the Iris
Nl.-s l.

N. Many prominent Irish Democrats ha
ns publicly announced that they wou
ba vote for him. But they lost all the
enthusiasm for Blaine when they res

.et his reply, did not rebuke him in al
uS way for connecting rum and rebelli,

'or In 1888 two letters that were pI
&c. duced at a critical stage of the cal
of paign had their effect. The Dudl

an ambassador, in the letter, which W
