TAKE PEPTIRON NOW
Needed in the Spring by Pale, Weak.
Nervous People.

Peptiron is in the form OF pills, chooo-
late coated, pleasant to take, easily as
simulated, and is the most successful
combination of iron of which its makers.
{. |. Hood Co, Lowell, Mass, have any
knowledge,
You must have an abundance OF iron
in your blood il you are TO be keen. quick
and fit in the battle of life, overcome OBJ
stacles and know no such thing as failure.
For several reasons lack of iron in the
blood is more noticeable in the spring than
at any other time.
Resides iron, Peptiron includes pepsin,
nux, celery and other tonics, nerve helps
and digestives. Ii gives strength color
and body Ia the blood; reddens pale
cheeks, steadies the nerves. improves the
digestion, nourishes and gives stamina
to the whole body.
Il is the tonic spring medicine for you
nd for your family.

was bitterly fought by Platt In 1888
he was nominated as the Republican

Bittef was the disappointment OF Ros-
coe Conkling over the failure OF his scheme
for securing a vindication" at the hands
of the Republican party and returning
to the Senate to "crow" over President
Garfield The lamentablc death of the
latter, from an assassins bullet, placed
Nice-President Arthur, warm personal
friend of Conkling's in the Presidential
chair, but that did not mitigate Conk-
ling's disappointment. 1t could not give
him back the coveted seat in the Senate.

appointed man.

leadership of the New York Republican
party and converted it into a powerful

Recalls Old Political History.

Tho death, at his home in Herkimer,
" Y, this week, of ex-United States
Senator Warner Miller, recalls one of the
most interesting chapters OF American
political history-the designations OF
United States Senators Roscoe Con,k-
ling and Thomas G. Platt of New York,
following a bitter contest with Presi-
dent James A. Garfield.
The campaign of 1850. when Gar
field was nominated for President, Was
most interesting one. The Republican
National Convention of that year be-
came deadlocked in a bitter struggle be
tween the supporters of General Grant
for third term and those of James G.
Blaine. Garfield, in charge of John
Shcrman'S candidacy. received one vote,
carly in the balloting. On the Seth ballot
he received majority, 3o6 faithful fol-
lowers Of General Grant going down
10 defeat with colors flying
Garfield was not popular candidate,
lie was very able man and was promi-
ncnt in the House OF Representatives.
Bur he had been srncarcd palpably with
the Credit Mobiher scandal, and was
not possessed Of a personality that invited
warm friendships Also, he was aligned
with the Blaine, or tIalf-Brccd fac
tion Of the Republican party. and was
especially offensive TO the Grant-C onk
ling. or "Staiwart faction.
Throughout the early part Of the cam
paien all surface indications pointed to
the defeat of Garfield and the election of
General Hancock, the Democratic can
didate for President. Then came the
famous conference at Mentor" the home
of Garfield. between representatives Of
the fighting Republican factions. EX-
actlv what transpircd is not known,
but II was understood that Garfield made
promises. in the event of his election,
10 treat the "Stalwarts" airly and evenly
in the distribution Of Federal patronage.
Following this conference, Conkling
and other "Stalwart" leaders worked
faithfully and vigorously for the election
of Garfield Hancock started things
by his remark about the tariff being
local issue. and alarmed manufacturers
fearing "a loss of their protective tariff
profits. contributed heavily 10 the Re
publican campaign fund. Purchased votes
carried Indiana FOR the Republicans at the
October State election, and Tammany
deal took care of New York. In Novem-
bcr Garfield was elected.

from May 81 to July %. On the latter
date, the two Republican factions, tired
OF their bitter contention, compromised
by the selection OF Warner Miller as
successor to Platt and Elbridge Lapham
as successor to Conkling for the long and
