TO OUR CAMPAIGN PATRONS. With the next number of the State Sentinel the subscriptions of a number of thousand will expire. We wish a word with these, our campaign patrons. We would like torontinne every one a member of the Sentinel household of subscribers. The brief acquaintance of a few months has, we trust, been pleasant and profitable to them. May we not extend our weekly visits t yon through the year f alio w ing the expiration of your campaign subscription? A trade which is of mutual advaatage to both parties Is always a good one. Let us then have a deal for a year. Give ns that period as a season of courtship, an! we will endeavor to make you love as so well that we may become wedded for life. Listen to cs for a minute: The Sentinel is the leading Democratic paper of I od tana. It is published at the capital city of the State. Its resources for obtaining Information concerning men and measures of interest are better than m08t of its contemporaries. We are where we can keeaneye upon your publis servants and tell yon when they are doiag their duty by you, and when falling short thereof. We will report to you the aots and actions of your S:ate Legislature, and furnish you goss:p fron every secllon of the State. We will keep the southern coantie in communication with the northern, and the eastern tier with those of the weit this as your Staie paper. As a news and fireside paper the 8:ate Sentinel shall be the peer of any in the land. With the present political campaign work ended, we Bhall have more space for miscellaneous reading. Agriculture in all its tranches will receive attention; the household will have its place in our coiunma. The news of the world will be condensed eaoh week. There will be stories for story readers, humorous columns for thosa who like to laugh, an occasional ' sermon from noted ministers, poems, sketches and editorial discussions of current topics of the day. And come what may, the Sentinel will carry the banner of honest, old-fashioned JefTersonim Democracy. It will maintain the principles ot "a government of the people, by the people and for the people," as against a centralized, aristocratic government operated in the interest of purseproud monopolists, bondholders and corrupt officeholders. If each Indianian whose name 13 now on our subscription books will eend in a renewal for a year we can give a magnificent paper one that will interest the elder and ccntribute to the instruction of the younger of the family. So come up, friends, one and all, singly or in clubs, and aid ns in the good work of making a paper which shall be a source of pride to the people of Indiana. THE TRULY QOOD MS. BLAINE. LIsewfcere we print the depositions of two men and the affidavits of a third, all of whom were pupils of James G. Blaine at Drennon Springs, Ky., in 1331, after 'his secret marriage at Pittsburg. From Mr. Blaine's own confession in his letter to Phelps and in his sworn answers to the Sentinel's first set of interragatories, we learn that on the ISth of June, 1S51, his wife gave birth to their first child. The marriage which occurred on the 29th of March (not quite three months preceding the birth of the child) was, by Mr. Ulaine, commanded to secrecy. As the wife in her unfortunate condition was journeying eastward to her mother's home in Maine, the husband was returning to Kentucky. The wife waa hardly in a condition to be a merry member of any social group. Even the tardy marriage that had been accorded her was by his edict imbedded in secrecy so that she could not show evidence of the legitimacy of her coming maternity. Without the companionship and supporting arm of the man to whom she yielded her trnst and her maiden honor, ehe wended her way to the only home which in her condition was likely to receive her: tha of her mother. lire the wife had found shelter beneath the mother's roof the secretly made husband was back in Kentucky. April and May with their sunshine and bird-eonga see the husband passing the hoan not employed in teaching in mirthf al association with young ladies of the Tillage. But the same months are witnessing the young wife suSering humiliation oyer her social position and anxiety and dread over her approaching ordeal of childbirth. When June brings the date of her travail, and she te crying out in her distress and pain, Dronnon Springs has received its guests for the summer, ani among the gayest gallants paying addresses to tne maidens fair is that husband to whom a child la being born more than 1,009 miles away. Selecting the most beautiful and wealthy of the winsome belles of the water log place as the object of his attentions, he pays court to her with all the ardor, and in the character, of an unmarried man. While the youn mother In Maine la rocking his baby and hushing its cries, the young father is pouring tender words of adotation into the deluded ears ot another innocent girl. Of her Whom he now tolls ui his "pne wish

waa to eecara her to bim.se If by an tndts soluble tie against every possible coatin grncy in life," he Ulla never a word to' the one he there bows before. Fa'.thfal husband he I Honorable editor that! In the language of the worshipful Dr. Alabaster: "A fellow-citizen justly honored; In short, a typical Araericanl" . Before the end cf the week we shall print additional and overwhelming evidsnce of Mr. Blaine having played the role of a single man, with all that term Implies, for months after his secret marriage at Pittsburg. Meantime we present from our biographical gleanings concerning Mr. Blaiae (for ojs In the libel suit pleasantly between us) one or two additional points ot interest. Mr. Blaine was affected at that era as more recently with the cacoclhct icr&cnJU There are letters' extant Itoju his hand on another subject than "Little Rock" bonds, wh'ch, If h.2 could postscript them now, would beg ''burn this." When he left Kentucky in December, 1851, it was not to go to his wife and child in Maine, but in opposite direction to New Orleans. Nor did he go to his family natil he waa offered money by Jacob Stan wood, the brother of Lis wife. This is the man whom the partl?an ministry are lauding for his virtues; this is the monumental hypocrite with the sublime Cheek to appeal to "the noble manhood and the noble womanhood of America." What do honorable Democrats and honorable Republicans say to his appeal?

LABORING MAN. READ THISI-PSO-TECTIVE TARIFF" IN A NUTSHELL. Tbe following, in the ehape of a circular, has been scattered throughout the country, particularly in the New Ecniland States, and is the theme of the Republican campaign speakers everywhere: 'American workingmenl do yoa want your factories close l. foundry fires put out, looms silenced, business killed, arid ia 3 dairies crippled? It you want any or ail oi these, the surest way is to tura the Government into the hands of the opponents of the tariff, who, by removing the protection with which the tariff guard the industries ot America, would fiood the laud with British and Eurooeui manufactures to tb.9 utfcr ruin of your interests." To this we reply, Yankee fashion, by asking a question : Are not the leading industries of tLe country no protected by a very high tariff, which ia the great boom of 157980, th.3 manabtcturers' pmfits were JsO.OGO.OOO greater than the total amount paid for labor? In 1880, the total amount paid for labor in the protected manufactories was '.) 18,000,000. The profitaon this labor was f 1,527,500,0m being $30,000,000 In round profits. Protectionists tell ns that the tariff is for the benefit of the laboring man.. Tais looks like It, don't it? The tariff that was in force then is in force now. 1 his is a very sigulncant fact, and forces us to ask the advocates of high tariff, "Why ia it that to-day so many foundry fires are put out, factories closed, and looms silenced? The Government has not paasod into the hands of tbe opponenti of high tariff the Democratic pariv, so mush dreaded by you ; then wby Is this tho cisd? Give ns a reason. First, tell us who so aiaay laboring people are out of employment and the gaunt spectre Wast aain entering their doors? Why Is it that the Republican party, the protectionists, are not now pointing the voters to the prosperous times as they did four years ago, which they claimed was alone due to a protective tariff and the goo 1 management of the Republican party, when, in fact, it waa wholly the result of the bountiful crops with which the country had been blereed for three consecutive years, coupled with a good foreign demand for the surplus. We assert that the only one benefited by a high tariff is the manufacturer, which fact we will demonstrate to the entire satisfaction of every candid nd unprejudiced mind by a simple illustration which will hold good in all the leading manufactories protected by high tariC Two tons of iron ore make one ton of pig iron ; the price of labor to produce this two tons of ore is f 2.70; cost of labor to produce one ton of pig iron from this ore is3.3; amount of pig iron in one ton of bar iron, 1-3 tons; the amount of labor in the pig Iron sufficient to produce the ton of bar iron is $1.35; cost of labor in a ton of bar iron is $13. TotaWxpense in producing one ton of merchantable bar iron, $20 05. This indues the entire cost of the labor to produce it, from taking the crnde ore from the earth to the time it leaves the mill a merchantable article. Now let us see. The tariff on a ton of btr iron is f 33.00, or f 13.55 more than enough to pay for all the labor to produce it. Now who does this tariff benefit? The laborer or the manufacturer? The manufacturer of course. And this $33.00 becomes a tax upon the consumer; for tbe moment the tariff goes into effect the manufacturer adds the amount to the price of hie iron, but does not add ono cent more to the laborer's wages. Ia fact, it operates to the reverse frequently; for the manufacturer in his rapid accumulation of wealth becomes an arrogant monopolist. How often dots it occur when the laborer, who is receiving barely enough wages to keep soul and body together, eeeing his employer reaping such immense profits, asks him to share a fraction of it with him by adding a few cents fcore to the meager wages he is receiving for his I slavish work, at which the tariff-pro teclid millionaire becomes indignant, and threatens him with the importation of foreign labor; yes, and how often is the threat carried out? Again, another result of high tariff is to levy an ImmenB tax upon the consumer, for It excludes the foreign article, and the Government is thereby robbed of the duty, which the people the consumers referred to have to make goodi for the Government must be kept np (and in great extravagance, too, bavin? also to pay the amount of this prohibitory tariff, which is added to tha Drice of the articles or necessaries 01 me, which he is compelled to have. Thus we eee by high tariff the Government loses the

duties, and the popl at large are taxed far it, as also for the amount of the tariff established by Republican Law-makers. Is tbb In keeping with the spirit of a 'Republican or Democratic . form of government that Government which does the niout good to the greatest number of its people? Far from it, as we will eho. We have in the United States, in round numbers, those who work to make their dally bread, including all classes of laborers, 18,000,000 4,000. 0ÖO in the professions, 2.000,000 in trade and transportation, 8,000,000 (near'y ODe-half of the whole number) in (arming, and 3.000,000 are employed in manufacturing, and of this 3,000,000 only about 1,000,000 are protected manufacturers. So on see that the 17.000,000 are paying tribute, in shape of taxation, to the 1,000,000-yes, in reality, to the few proprietors, capitalists and monopolists, who own the factories; and, understand, this ia not a tax against their property, but Cion their wants acessities and is gau;-Vi by the size of the family, the number of b,ks to clothe, aui the capacity of kheir stomachs. This is what the laboring man receives from high tariff, whioii its advocates, the Republican party, tell you enhances the compensation of the great mass of toilers. Is the illustration a correct one? (We defy a false ttatement, misrepresentation or rror to be found in it). If it be correct, then we ask you, laboring men, does a protective tariff help you? Is it not an injury to you? Reflect npon the suggestions that are herein oQVred you before you cist your vote at the comiog e'eotioa. We ask our hlh tariff friends if it is tree, as they ac-eert, that a protective tariff increaks the compensation of labor, why U it tbstwefind greater prosperity and thrift and the Lett-paid workman in the unprotected industries? Ihe stonemason, the brick mason, carpenter, plasterer, and day laborers are tetter paid than the miner and the weaver. Protective tariff does not advance wages. Said a writer of promineuce, commeatiag on the tariff, "When two bosse are running after one workman wages will advance; when two workman are running after one boss, then vages will decline." Here you h7e the vhole thing in theory and practice. The law of supply and demand controls waces.

THE SAME OLD GAME. We have reliable information that a e-t of men calling themselves Greenbackers in I Or dianapolis have organized in the intsreit of the Republican party to repeat the Bailout game that was attempted in 13'G. They claim to be acting under the instruction of General Bat'cr and Colonel riympton, his manager. They have been sending eecr?t agents throughout tbe State instructing Greer. backers to vote the Rapublican ticicct and will this week send out a , piper called the "Globe," the same paper that had a short exlsteice and was finally merged into the "DAwn," which w&3 denounced by the Greenback leaders all ov?r the State until it cca9ed to exist. Toe Globe will be edited by the raymaster General of the Plumed Knights ot Columbia, a Biaine and Logan Club of Indianapolis, pretendjng to advocate General Butler's election, but privately instructing Greenbackers to knife tho Butler electors and vote the Republican electoral ticket. Tht so men are operating with Solon Chase, of Maine, and are In the pay of the Republi can Committee. The scheme has been de nounced by such Greenbackers as General Ja a es D. Weaver, of Iowa; Governor Begole and General W. P. Innis. of Michigan; Hon. E. 11. Gillette, of Iowa, Chairman of the National Greenback Committee, and Major Milroy, Col. A. T. Bliss, Hon. Richard Gregg, Hon. John S. Bender, Hon. B. F. 8hlvely, csndidata for Congress in tbe Thirteenth D strict; William B. Möhler, llsq.,of Shelby County, and William Sears, Usq, of Ilm ccck County, and James R. Hightshue ani Hon. Peter A. Canary, of Miami County, all prominent Indiana Greenbackers. The i( -famous move in the interest of the Republican party must bz exposed, so that tie honest Greenbackers may be itiformed of the contemplated treachery. Indianapolis Sun. THE FARMER AND THE TAKIFF. The Republican candidate fron the platform of his special train has boon telling the farmers of Indiana of the importance of the tariff. The tillers of ths soil who listened to his specious utterances are invited to reriew in detail the beneßia they receive from the heavy tariff law. "Here is a statement showing a few of the burdens of the farmer and laboring man: Under this tariff tax he rises in the morning, puts on his common flannel shirt taxed (5 per cent.; his coat, taxed 57 per cent ; shoes, taxed 35 per cent., and hat, taxed 02 per cent.; takes the water from a bucket taxed 35 per cent., and washes his face and hands in a tin bowl taxed 35 per cent.; dries them on a cheap c itton towel taxed 35 per cent He sits down to his humble meal and eats from a plate taxed 50 per cent., with a knite and forktaked35 per cent.; drinks his coffee with sugar taxed C8 per cent,; seasons his food with salt taxed CO per cent., pepper taxed CI per cent He looks around on his wife and children, all taxed in the same way; takes a chew of tobacco taxed 100 per cent,, or lights a cigar taxed 118 per cent. And, sir, even the sunlight from heaven, that pours into his humble dwelling, must come through window-glass taxed 59 per cent. And yet he thinks he Uvea in the freest Goyerainent under heaven. Then he starts to work; puts a bridle taxed 85 per cent on his horse, and takes his horse that has been shod the nails used in shoeing being taxed 59 per cent, driven by a hammer taxed 20 per cent and hitches him to a plow taxed 45 per cent, with chalna taxed 58 per cent; and after the day's labor i3 closed, and his family are all gathered around, he reads a chapter from his Bible, taxed 25 per cent, and kneels to God . on an humble carpet taxed 51 per cent; and then he rests hJa wearied limbs oa a sheet taxed 43 per cent, and oovers himself with a Hinket that has paid 101 per cent. Nor do Cieae grasping manufacturers stop here, but ven the broom with which hia tiood wife a weeps the floor is taxed 35 per oent, and the cooking Teasels used la preparing her husband's fiscal meal are taxed 42 per cent, and the soda used to lighten his bread Is I taxed 59 per cent She sits down to her

wlrig with a needla taxed 25 per cent ani a spool cf thread taxed 74 pec cent, to make a calico dreea taxed 53 per cent, or if she wlib.es to knit warm socks to protect her husband and children from the bitter cold, she uses yarn taxed 120 per cent; and thus daily and hourly must the hard earnings of the laborer go to satisfy the manufacturer and add to his ill-gotten wealth."

ALL ALONG THE LINE. Arouie! Awake, Democrats of Indiana! end once more march to battle and to victory. V And you, Republicans, who desire reform and are tired of the slavery of a party which is ruled by place men and spoil hunters, help ua now with all your might Only a few days of preparation and action remain. You have high principles to animate your counsels, high alms to consecrate your action. Give all your thoughts and energies to the defeat of the party which is the friend of the capitalist only, and no longer tbe friend of the ioor man. And yon, the adopted German citizens of Indiana, Republicans as well as Democrats, will you forget the part? which stood by you In 1SS2? The cowardiy Republicans then, as in 1SS1. endeavored to take away your personal liberty, end the Democracy then battled for your rights. Will yea turn against that pfrty now, -,'hen it Is fighting tbe battle of administrative and revenue reform? Have you already forgotten the Republican "bugle call" of Iowa and Kansas for prohibition? If you have, and if you desert the friends of personal liberty in their Valiant struggle now againät Blaine and his prohibition cohorts, yon will have wounded the Democratic party in the house of Its friends and jeopardized the very rights of which Republicans desire to deprive you. And you Irishmen who love the Green Isle and who are anxious to realst British oppression, will you forget the party which, under the lead of the eloquent Willard, of Indiana, and the impulsive Wise, of Virginia, throttled and destroyed the monster, "Know-nothingism," thea ca'led Americinhm? Come, let ns stand together, shoulder to shoulder, in this great battle against our common enemy, the Republican party. That party, as led by Blaine, is the best friend that England has ever had. Elaine's high protective tariff has kept Americans out of all ports of the world and given England the monopoly of trade. With all our natural resources, Blaine's policy ha kept us and you under English subjection. What do the Republicans care for you? Did they ever profess to love you in times of trouble or trial? Did you ever hear of Republican love for the Irish until just before this Impending election? The Democratic party of Indiana asks you to work and labor to rebuke this Republican hypocrisy at the polls. Come, let ns rout the Republican tyrants, and by so doing we will rebuts your British tv rants. Farmers, yon who work and toil in your fields, how has the Republican party helped you? By theirfruits ye shall know them. Consider how the Republicans have taxed the articles which make up the clothing, food and Bhelter of the farmers instead of the luxuries and superfluities ot the rich. They have put a tax on every garment of wooL cotton, linen, or leather which the farmer must wear. They tax his shoes, hi3 socks, the needle that knits his socks, his drawers, his shirt, his trousers, his coat and his hat. You, farmers, are made by the Republicans to bear the heavy burien of the tariff tax, and they and Blaine tickle you just before each Presidential election by the glittering generality of protection to American industry. How long, ob how long will you be the hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Jay Goulds and the Enos and the Grants and TTards of protection? V And you, manufacturer, have you not had enough of a high war tariff? Has overproduction, or what Butler calls under consumption, helped you? Aro yon, who are email manufacturers, making any money or getting any orders, and when you get them, do they pay you? Do yoa really, in these days of labor-saving machines, require or expect of the labor and sweat of the farmer and mechanic that they shall pay a bounty to you? Don't you know that Blaine's protection does not protect you? Don't you know that an unnatural and artificial stimulus, fahely called protection, engenders feverish competition, overproduction and bankruptcy? Come out from this foul and unclean Republican party; join hands with the laborer and farmer, and let the Republican party die because it is no longer the friend of the small manufacturer or of the laborer, but only of the capitalist and monopolist Mechanics, laborers and worklngmen of Indiana, you of all men need a change of administration. Help us to get rid of the galling yoke of Republican tyranny. How has their high tariff helped you? Blaine himself admits that it ia nothing un'" it protects you. Then its wortL.csaness is apparent. Why are you idle in high tariff times? Wby for years has everything been depressed? Why do the manufacturers discharge you? Is it not on account of over-production? Do you ever think of the fact that under the present oppressive and unfair Republican tariff system yoa and the f armen who have often large families to support pay more tariff tax than the millionaire who has no family, and who boards sumptuously at the Fifth Avenue ITotel ? Come, boys, roll up your sleeves and work for Cleveland and Hendricks and better times. SOOT AND SLIME. A Kansas friend has sent us a pamphlet which is being circulated all over Kansas by Republican emissaries, filled with the most Infamous lies about Governor Cleveland. It is this collection by blackguards which Henry Ward Beecher referred to in his recent great speech as the dirty work of those who "nurzlcd'1 ii the mud. Robcoe Conkllng, recently Interviewed concerning these slimy attacks on Mr. Cleveland, was asked the question whether Bl&ine knew of the projected attack of slime upon Cleveland, and could have prevented it by his merest word. "That such Is the fact," said he, straight-

enlng up to his full height, Ha of common report I to know that printed matter containing charges that should be pe-mitted to disgrace no campaign was circulated in Wwt Virginia and perhaps elsewhere, with the knowledge of the Republican managers, if not at their instigation. Why sir," rising to hia feet and emphasizing with an oratorical waving gesture of the hand, "those white pagrs, black with the soot and slime of scandal, fell upon the hills and dales of Weet Virginia like the fUkes of a wintry enow storm."

THE CLOVEEDALE LIE. Our correspondent at Cloverdale gives the lie direct to the correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal who recently reported from that p.-int that a wandering Radical Dy the name of Vandervoort and his petticoated companion campaigner, Miss Nellie Holbrook, were instated and grossly treated there. The correspondent says: Cloyxbdaix, Ind., Oct 2S The sensational dispatch wbicu appeared in the Journal Sunday, and vraa copied in Mond-.v's edition of that mendacious sheet entitled "Southern Älethods is a vile fabrication and a malicious slander of the good people of Cloverdale. Vandervoort and one Nellie lfolbrook enoke here lUt Friday night to a small ball lull of men, women and children. He was abusive a ad insulting to Democrats ana reckles&lr untruthful in his etalercenta, and hen Le asserted that Colonel Matsou, our honored Representative in Congters, was opposed to tensioning roldiers, h was publicly cmtradifted, and that Is the only thread'of trnth in the whole dispatch. No further remark was made; no one, then or afterward, tureatened the Nebraska demagogue; no one followed him; no one insulted him or 8oa?ht to interview him at his hotel, and no one was about or near him when he and his traeling companion bosr.led the night express south, except two or three of their peaceably disposed Republnsn friends. As the Journal's special was S3at from Bloomlngton, there can be no diubt that it was written or inspired by Vandervoort himself, for advertising purposes, he well knowing that bis merits will never attract attention. TLe Democracy have n j interest in suppressing men like Vandervoort; nothing that occurred during the campaign has accomplished 83 rnnch in thd way of arousing the 1'emocrats of this vicinity as the vituperative harangue of this prairie flee and his petticoated comJianion. Journal's comments oa its alte snecial are characteristic of itscoirsa towards this town in years gone by. This is not the first time it has slandered eur people; and when it calld this town a "dark and bloody ground," and says there ever was a political murder here, it utters a "cowardly and brutal lie." No more orderly town exists anywhere, and there is not a more tolerant people in any section of the country than the Democrats ot Cloverdale Township. When Major Grubbs, Colonel Matson's opporent, spoke here, the Democracy tendered him the use of their tlaod and listened attentively to his speech, aui no attempt has ever been made to suppress or interfere with Republican meetings. Vandervoort for the purpose of advertising his appointments in this Congressional District, has brought unjust reproach upon a people who extend him hospitalities which ho has shown himself unworthy of, but in eo doing has injured his party. THE MAINE MAJORITY. The Republicans lied about their majority in Maine from the very beginning of the reports from that State. They first had upwards ot 20,000, then they let it down to 19,000; a few days more and they conceded 15,000. The Democracy seemed to be content with that, and all interest was withdrawn. And now comes Information that It actually has worked down to about 12,000. It seems that the Kennebec Journal, which is Blaine's home organ, announced several weeks ago that tht cfkial majority teas over r.ivrlcen thousand t and Blaine's son telegraphed those CftUrcs to Logan and it was duly printed in all the Republican organs. An Augusta, Md., special tells it to the Boston Herald as follows. "The publication in this morning's issue of the Kennebec Journal, Mr. Blaine's home organ, that Governor Robie'e majority last S?i-erater is 12,082, has occasioned not only ranch surprise in political circles, but has froduced a sensation. This shows a diferce in Robie's majority, acixmliog to the Journal's official figares, of 7.C17 les3 than th6y reported it a week after election, 'and which at that time was telegraphed ail over the country. Those who made bets on Robie's majority, and Bnpposed they had lost, are now demanding a return of the money. If the Journal has at last furnished the correct fiures of Robie's majority, instead of Blaine and Logan's majority beine 25.W0 that it predicted, the best informed politicians put it at about S.009. There is every indication of a large falling off from tbe September vote. The St. Jobn movement is gaining in strength everyday. The recruits are being principally drawn from the Republicans in the rural towns." If Blaine had staid at home these figures wold never Lave come to light A LITTLE MAN TELLS A BIO- LIE. Roger R. Shiel, Republican candidate for Treasurer of State, has issued a circular which he is sending broad cast over the State, containing so many ridiculous lies in regard to Mr. John J. Cooper that we would not answer it were it not for the fact that it contains forgery eross and complete, and is an outrage upon the workingmen of the State. It contains a series of resolutions condemning Mr. Cooper, purporting to have been passed by Armstrong Assembly, Knights of Labor, of this city- The officers of that Assembly have called upon us to state that said Assembly has never, at any time, passed said resolutions; that such action was never ontemplated, and that they are forgeries in every particular. This cowardly act on the part of Shiel should cause every laboring man in the State to vote against him. To append the name of Armstrong Assembly to a series of resolutions which they never passed, never heard of in fact, is no worse than signing the name of one of the members to a bank check. Such a low and debasing act will recoil upon the instigator thereof, and Mr. Shiel will find the workingmen of the State can not be hoodwinked in any such manner. Rhody is getting desperate. No maw. Republican or Democrat, has ever known Thomas A. Hendricks charged with public or private dishonor. Not a man, Democrat or Republican, but knows that James G. Blaine has been convicted by his own confession of foul dishonor in both private and official life. e - 'i Acted Like a Charm." This is what Mrs. Mayer, of Baronne street, New Orleans, says of Brown's Iron Bitters. A "charm" works quietly, surely. promptlv, thoroughly and with delightful effect. That is just the way this wonderful family medicine works on invalids who have been suffering the wees ot liver complaint dyspepsia and impoverished blood. Those who know its worth say it is a complete cure for dyspepsl. weakness, malaria, neuralgia, etc
