AT the election on Tuesday next more
States will elect Governors than ever be-
fore in the history of the Union For the
FIRST time Oregon is TO join the list Of
Commonwealths electing their executives
in November. Heretofore the Oregon
State election has been held in June.
Thirty-two governors will be voted for on
Tuesday, four states having already elect
ed chief executives this fall.
The gubernatorial contests in some Of
the States are of more than ordinarily
interesting character. The elections in
others will be of a purely perfunctory
character, the election of the Republican
or the Democratic candidate as the case
may be, being ayforegone conclusion. So
cialists and sProhibitionists will have can
didates for governor in majority of the
States, and in some of them they are ex-
pected TO poll large votes.

An Appeal To Workingmen.

George ]. Nitchie, we'll known labor
ing man of Decatur, H., recently sent to
one of the newspapers of that State an
article in which he appealed to working
men TO stand by their homes. He closed
with Il e following significant paragraph: /:
'Isn't it about time for.us as laboring
men to wake up and vote for our own
interests1 What does the wealthy brewer
care. anyway, for the working man who
spends all of bis earnings in.the saloon ?
When the poor fellows rent is due and
his family is about to be turned into the
streets, does the brewery pay bis rent 7
When he is arrested and fined, does the
brewer pay his 6ne or feed his starving
family while the poor fellow is deprived
of his personal libertyl When he loses
bis job does the brewer get him auotherf ?
Think this saloon question ont for your.
self my brother laborer, and then vote for
your own interests and for the welfare of
your own family"

The Success Magazine gives prelimi-
nary forecast Of the Congressional election,
under date of October s, in which the
prediction is made that the next House
of Representatives will be almost exactly
in even balance, with the probabilities
slightly in favor of a Republican majority
of two or three. There will be large
increase in the Democratic membership,
but no Democratic Landslide "
The extraordinary closeness of this
coming contest, says the Success, is
shown by our prediction that 1863 districts
will certainly be represented by Demo-
Gratis, and 21 more will probably be De
mocratic1 giving total reasonably sure
Democratic membership of 1856; while the
Republican party will certainly elect 100
members and will probably elect ao more,
giving reasonably sure total of ISo-ex
actly the same number. There are
thirteen districts in the country in which
there is SO even balance of probabilities
that we can not possibly predict the result,
without resorting to mere guesswork.
The fact that the Republicans now have
nine of the thirteen doubtful districts il
the sole Justification for the statement
that the probabilities are slightly in favor
of Republican majority Of two or three.
The prediction for Maryland is that the
three Democratic districts will return
Democrats again, while the Third and
Sixth districts, which are now Republi
can by majorities of less than 1000, will
return Democrats. The Fifth district
will probably still be Republican by q
narrow margin.

The Stomach Cannot Rest.

1t is mistake TO suppose the stomach
can rest and thus recuperate and by this
means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in
,testines. The salivary glands in the
mouth, the stomach. lower stomach, liver,
spleen, etc, take part in the digestive
PROCESS. This process is going on con-
tinously. Think of resting the heart or
the lungs for few minutes, or any other
organ. Pepsin pancreatin, etc. do not
rest the stomach, they digest the residue
of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-
taling acids or gas. Rydale's StomaeA
Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con
tain many vegetable tonics and stimulants
for the digestive tract Rydale's Stomach
Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way it
can he cured. Ask US about them. Eli
+. Reynolds.

The average saloon is the most disrepu-
table place in the community; it is a
bureau of information on vice; it is the
first place one would enter to inquire for
a gambling hall or for disorderly house.
It is likewise the first place visited by the
officers of the law when they are looking
for criminal. and the first place closed
in the case of riot or disturbance. Those
who defend the open saloon do it on the
ground that It is a necessary evil, it is never
defended on the ground that the saloon is
center of morals. an educational insti-
tuition, social asset or even an economic
advantage Commoner
This is the sort of en- institution the
license advocates are asking you to vote
back into Cecil county, on the plea that
these pest holes "help business, but they
are careful not to state that the only bust
ness the saloon was ever known to help is
the police court business. Wherever you
find the saloon, there you will find plenty
of drunkenness and lawlessness, and
plenty Of business for magistrates in
imposing fines. etc, upon the drunken
peace disturbers. If yon want to help
this sort of business in Cecil county be
sure and vote for license, but If you don't
--and no right-thinking man in the
county does. then mark your ballot
AGAINST LICENSE on Tuesday next.
