effort to raise your fare on the railroad,
and to make you pay more for shipping
your produce and your goods. You paid
$3.45 to go to Atlanta until the Commis

Cartersville is charged more to ship her
cotton and grain than any town on this

Savannah News, Oct. 4th, ’B2.—“lt
has always been the policy of the Cen
tral to keep aloof from political entan
glements * * The W. &A. Railroad
allusion was timely. The State was un
able to manage its own property, and
now seeks to manage the property of its
citizens by a railroad commission.”
Bullock mismanaged it, not tho peo
ple. While Mr. Wadley lived the Cen
tral partook of his upright methods.
Since the Savannah News got into the
Concern and has tried to make its col
umns misrepresent public opinion to (ill
its own pockets, the Central has got into
“entanglements.” Its allusion to one of
the editors of I bis paper is more respect
ful than usual, and wo will graciously
tell it, that its superior sense should in
dicate a better polity to its fiery neigh
bor in Augusta who got a “lift” in rail
road enterprise some years ago, by cer
tain political combinations. Anything
that the News might suggest to the rail
road organ in Atlanta we think would be
useless. Kimballville’s Constitution will
always be like Kimball. Does the News
endorse Gen, Alexander’s Shareholders’
Association 1
f Flarrison, of Quitman.
On Friday last, after the people were
defended from the money of E. I*. Alex
ander’s Railroad Shareholders’ Associa
tion, the Harrison, who had the honor or
dishonor, last summer, of fighting a dead
mail on the floor of the Legislature—to
the disgust ‘of every decent man in the
Union—rose and roared like a bull of
Rushan, lie assaulted Dig Felton as an
Unworthy follower of the Lowly Nn/::-
rene, because he (Dr. Jb\), resisted the
money of a railroad lobby and “killed”
ITarrisdn’s Vote to keep the farmers of
Brooks county in entire Subjection to his
Oil's.) railroad piasters, lie foamed at
the mouth, and he made a spectacle of
himself that no respectable man could
notice as an opponent.
Once upon a time the Lowly Xazarcnc
became so infuriated with the money
changers and thieves in God’s holy tem
ple that ho applied the lash to their un-
worthy backs. No doubt they squalled.
Xo doubt but they'reviled the Lowly
Xazareue himself 1 From the way Har
rison bleated his own back must have
smarted considerably. Tlie lash redden
ed bis face, and even his hair got red hot.
Hon. Patrick Walsh.
It is a mistake for people to assert—and no
ohts asserts it but an arrant humbug and a
plAtanf demagogue, who is not able to make a
r*vjpcjtaWc living at any other railing than that
of polities—that railroads were built for the ben
eht of the public alone.— Augusta Chronicle.
Whenever the gifted editor of the
Chronicle gets excited, begets diffuse—
and he gets abusive sometimes, but not
often. It is a favorite point with him to
charge everybody who differs with him
with being “unable to manage their own
business.” His tree use of Dr. Felton’s
name in this connection is unnecessary,
because it has no point, and Mr. Walsh
knows nothing, whatever, about his pri
vate business—and whether he misman
ages or not, the loss does not fall on Mr.
Walsh or the railroads, but on himself.
If Dr. Felton had been so disposed, and
had agreed to manage Gen Lawton’s
candidacy for the Senate, for a quid pro
quo, he would have done the work or
returned either the quid or the quo. He
never was disposed, however, to man
age nis polities that way, therefore he is
poor while other people are rieli. Geu.
Lawton must have been amused (?) to
see all his senatorial geese driven into
another Senators goose-pen, where they
have cackled loudly ever since in the
columns of the Augusta Chronicle.
An all Steel Axe, at
V. L. Williams & Cos.
VV.io Represents tho Democratic
Party ?
The Atlanta Constitution says the
Democratic party in Georgia will contin
ue to fight the Railroad Commission, and
help the railroads to make unjust rates
against the labor of this country. Un
der date of Oct. 4th, it further says: “If
Dr. Felton makes his nkxt campaign for
Governor” (on the people’s side of the
question), “the Constitution” (i. e. the
Democratic party) “will fight him and
overwhelmingly defeat him.”
Let us examine the Constitution’s
claims to the leadership of the Demo
cratic party in the first place.
Gen. Toombs is the father of the Com
mission bill, Judge Reese, of Washing
ton, wrote it out, Gov. McDaniel intro
duced it. Gov. Brown and Gen. Law
ton, one representing the State Road,
and the other the Central —which now
controls every railroad south of Atlanta
—agreed to it. Mr. Gordon, of Savan
nah, denied Gen. Lawton’s consent, but
as prominent a man as Atlanta affords, a
member of the General Assembly that
parsed the Commission hill, authorizes
Dr. Felton to say, he knows Gen. Law
ton did acquiesce in the hill —nor do we
think Gen. Lawton will provoke an issue
of veracity when the author’s name
reaches him. Are these men not Demo
crats ?
Again, the Chamber of Commerce
in Atlanta, which embraces as high
toned business men as the State
holds, memorialized the Legislature to
protect Atlanta from the unjust rates of
tin: railroads and to stand by the Com
mission. Three men dissented, namely:
Mr. Kimball, Mr. Bullock and some em
ployee of a railroad—name not remem
bered.
Is this notable trio the “Democratic
party” of Atlanta that will help the
Constitution to light for the railroads
and to impoverish the business men of
Atlanta?
The editor-in-chief of the Atlanta
Constitution is the political dictator
and mouth-piece of its politics. Was
he not once a solicitor-general, appointed
by Gov. Bullock, defeating lion. Andrew
Sloan, republican, for the place? Has it
come to pass that Mr. Bullock and his
appointees are now the recognized
“Democratic party” of Georgia?
Is it possible that lion. Campbell Wal
lace, ex-Gov. James M. Smith and lion.
L. N. Trammell are heretics to the
“Democratic faith,” that tho “Demo
cratic party” should expatriate them?
This subject will hear examination.
Such check! Such assumacy!! Faugh!!!
Next: we hold in our hands as we
w rite, a circular issued by the Railroad
Shareholders’ Association in New York
—E. P. Alexander, of Georgia, presi
dent. It is organized to “defeat all leg
islation unfriendly to railroads.” It an
nounces that its means are “unlimited.”
It intends to prepare arguments and em
ploy counsel to control legislative com
mittees. It intends to employ money to
control the executive, the judicial and
the legislative departments in each State
to push its methods on the people. It in
tends to buy the press of the country
with its “ unlimited means.” These
things are printed, avowed and explain
ed just as we state them, and almost in
the same words. Since the time when
men and senates were openly bought in
Imperial Rome, nothing like this docu
ment has seen open daylight. They
keep a large capital on hand to disburse
to their agents—and they use it.
Now, see how cleverly this thing has
been pressed so far. Gen. E. P. Alex
ander, the president, has been appointed
by President Cleveland, as the people’s
man —as director for the United States to
see that the railroads west of the Missouri
river, otherwise the Union Pacific roads
—shall not oppress the labor or the citi-
zens of that country. lie Is put there
to see that these roads are made to pay
their dues to the tax-payers of the coun
try who loaned them $150,000,000 to
buiid the roads, and of which they now
refuse to pay a cent to the government,
and have to he forced to pay only five
per cent, of their a sinking
fund, that the laborers of these United
States may not be entirely defrauded of
both principal and interest. This is the
man recommended by the Atlanta Con
stitution as a suitable person to protect
us from railroad extortion! This ap
pointment is made in the face of this cir
cular, before mentioned, and with the in
tentions of Shareholders’ Association
ticketed on liis back! President Cleve
land has been imposed upon that he al
lowed the railroads to circumvent him,
and when this matter comes before the
United States Senators who have so long
fought the lobby money of these Pacific
railroads, he null denounce it. That cir
cular, a copy of which we hold, should
procure Mr. Alexander's immediate re
moval—because he cannot thus serve
Gnd and mammon. Gen. Alexander is
a large shareholder in the Western &
Atlantic Railroad. He draws immense
dividends that merchants and farmers
pay to this road. We protest that the
Atlanta Constitution should not claim
thi' circular to be the action of the great
Democratic constituency in Georgia.
When Senator Edmunds takes that cir
cular before the open Senate he will
cither remove the Shareholders’ Asoeia
tion or lie will cover the railroads with
deserved infamy. Democracy, protect
thyself now!
To the next idea that the Constitution
advances, viz.: “If Dr. Felton makes
his next campaign for Governor” (on
the rights of the people) “the Demo
cratic party” (namely the railroad party
—asH'oiced by the Constitution) “will
defeat him.”—By railroad money we
suppose. As Dr. Felton lias never made
a campaign for governor, the word
“next” is inapplicable in one sense of
the word. lie did, l** wever, toree the
Constitution to nominate an independent
“to save the Democratic party.” That
independent, when in possession of liis
mental faculties, did h eartily denounce
the Constitution’s Democratic party.
He could thrash it w ; th such a relish!
That independent was G ov. Alexander
11. Stephens.
That independent did say that he had
“just as soon belong to the. Republican
party in Georgia as to the Kirkwood
ring.”
That independent did say he never be
longed to any political organization in his
life, and never would belong to one; that
the thimble-riggers in one party were no
more objectionable to him than the irre
sponsible junta in the other.” The Con
stitution remembers his ,-tand in 1878.
He -aid all this about two months before
the 'Constitution was obliged to nomi
nate him as Governor of Georgia “to
save the party,” viz : in the latter part of
Feb. 1882. He said, further, that Dr.
Felton and his independent friends had
“managed” his cause “admirably, look
ing to the best interests of the State.”
All this was dictated and signed by
“Alex. 11. Stephens,” himself. The
proof is at hand; do you want it ?
To truth and justice be it said he nev
er was induced to speak contrary to his
true sentiments until disease was rapidly
sapping the citadels life—and he was
inveigled by certain tricksters and Bohe
mian newspapers into unhappy contra
dictions, growing out of the very same
cause that now renders Gen. Toombs
helpless before the unholy curiosity and
malice of his enemies. His mind also
weakened near the close. Like Noah's
reprobate son, they delight in exposing
the age and feebleness of these great
men, and we trust Gen. Toombs’ family
will kick from their door every other
emissary that may seek to drag down his
great name axid patriotic efforts. Per
haps this is the work of the Constitu
tion’s Democratic party—the same party
that sought to antagonize the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and which pro
poses to defeat every effort of the people
against the railroads.
Perhaps this is a part of the Sharehold
ers’ Association programme, for where is
it likely that Gen. E. P. Alexander
would use the “unlimited means,” if he
does not “try it on” a Georgia Legisla
ture? Is it likely lie would omit Geor
gia newspapers when his association
openly declares its programme to be con
trol of the press? His big money inter
ests lie in Georgia. Is the “pious
Kingsberry,” with his little bribe a “sap
sucker’ ’ on the great railroad tree ? Is
he a paid tool ? Is our executive aware
that the Shareholders’ Association pro
poses to conti'ol the “executive” in each
State ? Are our courts to be defiled with
that bribe money ? And, arg our legis
lative halls to he filled with men, who
serve the railroads—who impoverish
honest labor—who rob the farmer and
merchant, like robber-Barons, and shall
we submit again to the Bullock ring—
who not only insult the Chamber of
Commerce of Atlanta, but who, with the
cheek of Judas Iscariot, follow the lead
ings of the Shareholders’ Association
and call themselves the Democratic party
of Geoi’gia?
The Danger of a Monopoly.
The great Standard Oil corporations
have gained their immense control of the
trade, which amounts to the absolute
crushing out of every man or locality
that dares to resist it, by shaping legisla
tion wish the tools its elects to both State
and national legislatures. It absolutely
dictates every United States senator and
congressman within the scope of its ter
ritory, not to speak of the smaller legis
lative bodies. They are open in their
plans because their money is absolute in
such contests.
Georgia is threatened in the same way
—with the inability to find men who w ill
dare to i-esist l’ailroad money. The Cen
tral Railroad is particularly active in
trying to abolish the Railroad Commis
sion. Not content with gobbling up ev
ery lesser road south of Atlanta, they ef
fectually strangle every proposed road
that may strive to afford relief to a bur
deued people. They have a director to
lxianage their ease in the House of Rep
l'esentatives, and their paid attorney does
the same work in the Senate. They are
bold and defiant in their demands, and,
not satisfied with absolute control of all
the steamship lines as aids to this vast
net-work of railroads, they now clamor
for eveiy hindrance to be raised from
their freight and passenger rates —that
they may plunder withoxxt mercy.
When Georgia wakes up to find her
self shorn of her strength, like Samson
of old, she may grind in the prison
house—racked with the consciousness
that w hile once she was fi‘ee she is now
a miserable bond-slave —the sport and
jeer of those she indulged to her own
hurt.
We honestly believe the disquiet of the
present time—the strikes—the defalca
tions—dynamite and suicides —grow out
of this unfairness of men to their fellow
man, as exemplified in tire audacity and
cruelty of the corporate power of mo
nopolies.
Pointers.
When President Cleveland was elected
who rushed into the House of Represen
tatives and called for “Felton” to say the
very first word of victory that was said
in Georgia? Yet these men are now re
viling other men who vote with the old
“radical-independent.”
When the Capitol Commissioners were
about to be denounced for not using
Georgia marble, who was called on to
say they were “doing their duty” in
saving the State’s money? RemeuPer
tiiat when their slanderous tongues try
to create prejudice and hate.
Felton never made money under Bul
lock.
Felton never was Bullock’s chief-jus
tice.
Felton never helped to nominate Grant.
Felton never traded a seat in Congress,
into which one man slipped before the
cushion cooled after the “slope” of the
other, and into which Georgia was fooled
by certain tricks, soon to be known.
Felton never cheated Georgia in the
lease of her railroad.
Felton never cheated Georgia in the
convict lease.
Felton never made money in corrupt
politics, and if ill behooves the men who
did to cry out, “ Touch not the unclean
thing.” Stand to your duty, legislators;
it is the money that is abusing you—not
the tools.
The Railway Shareholders’ Asso
ciation.
This association is chartered under the
laws of New York State. It attempts to
combine seven billions of capital, and its
objects are:
Ist. To prevent the interference cf
State officials with the regulation and
management of railways.
2d. To repeal the law's taxing the in
come of railways.
3d. To prevent assessments for taxes
on railway-.
4th. To prevent paying damages by ac
cidents.
* sth. To prevent the construction of
railways by people not connected with
this association and to prevent them from
construction, because these trunk lines
will be forced to buy them.
Gth. To oppose Congress in any attempt
to exercise jurisdiction over the rail
roads.
Asa means to these ends it will cause
to be prepared through the press argu
ments against every measure affecting
railways, and cause them to be placed
before judicial, executive and legislative
bodies. It will employ counsel before
legislative bodies to defeat inimical
measures to railways and to promote
their interests. The scope of its useful
ness will be as unlimited as the means
placed at its command.
Gen. E. P. Alexander, of Georgia, is
the president.
Henry Jewett is director for 20 railroad
companies.
Samuel Sloan is director for 23 railroad
companies.
Jay Gould is director for 24 railroad
companies.
Geo. B. Roberts is director for 2G rail
road companies.
Augustus Schell is director for 2S rail
road companies.
Sidney Dillon is director for 3G rail
road companies.
T. L. Ames is director for 52 railroad
companies.
Seven directors and 209 companies in
cludes 120,000 miles of railway, 90,000 in
vestors and employs 1,100,000 persons.
Here it is in a nutshell, and E. P.
Alexander, of Georgia, is at the head.
He has also been appointed director by
the United States Government on the
Union Pacific road, wiiicli road pays him
to do the things before enumerated.
Great God in Heaven, can these things
be submitted to? Every man on those
lines can be compelled to vote, as are the
men on th W. & A. R. R., to whom are
issued a command when they vote
for Congressmen and use the piiv
ilege of a ballot. (This is a fact, for
one was placed in our hand by a high
official.) This gives an enormous vote to
railway authorities. Their means are
unlimited, and their “scope of useful
ness” is also unlimited. Can it be true
that poor Georgia is now being flooded
with this money to control the Georgia
Legislature? Gen. Alexander is the
largest shareholder in this \V. & A. R.
R. It lie directs money in any direction
would it not come right here? Watch
your representatives, one and all good
people. When you find a fellow halting
and dodging in plain view, of this asso
ciation, controlled by railway money,
you may set it down that the leaven is
working. Certain newspapers in Geor
gia are terrible in tlieir denunciation of
the men who vote against E. P. Alex
ander’s railway association. It will be
remembered that each and every one
recommended E. P. Alexander to be
Director of the Union Pacific Road. We
know that some have been subsidized in
times past, and we believe others are
now taking the same reward to defeat
the people in their resistance to Jay
Gould’s open, iniquitous corruption of
every department of the government by
these “unlimited means.” They choke
off every new railway in Georgia. They
impoverish every section but the money
centers. They pay their tools to betray
the people who have elected them, and
we beg you to hold these creatures to a
strict account.
Dr. Felton and J. E. Bryait.
To divert attention, while the railway
tools ply their trade on the representa
tives in the Georgia Legislature, a cor
respondent in the Savannah Times says:
“Dr. Felton and J. E. Bryant are form
ing a coalition to run a campaign in
Georgia together.” Words tail us to de
pict a creature who would wilfully,
knowingly and maliciously lie to this ef
fect. The money of the railroads, like
Herod’s worms, will eat up the soul of
be scoundrel, who thus prostitutes his
pen to such knavish work. Perhaps he
will recollect that J. E. Bryant is a friend
to some railroad presidents who gave
him offices time and again, and is an open
enemy, now and heretofore, to Dr.
Felton.
But, if J. E. Bryant has the manhood,
the honesty, the courage to stand by his
countrymen in this unrighteous fight, J.
E. Bryant is to be praised for so doing.
If God moves on his heart to help the
poor and oppressed, he deserve justice.
If he can antagonize the men who have
made a tool of him ever since he voted
in ’GS for Gov. Brown to the United
States Senate, this lie should not come,
as it does, from hat side.
Before and After Taking.
This indorsement of the Commission by the
grand inquest of a county is calculated to show
that the people of the State are not prepared to
take any backward step in the railroad policy f
Georgia. There is ample evidence to show that
this policy has worked for the good of every in
terest—for the interests of the public.—Constitu
tion, March 15, 1855.
Here it was when its “boss” was on
friendly terms with the Commission!
Dougherty county had by its grand jury
endorsed the Commission and implored
the Legislature to protect it from railroad
extortion.
Now, after taking some queer tonic, it
has pulled up into the “Fat Boy” of the
Railroad Museum. To read the above
and hear the spoutings of the “willipus
wallipus” at this time, it would seem as
if its tonic cost somebody pretty dear as a
restorative.
Are oil ailing these hot mornings, and is
your tongue dry and coaled? Then you need
—not a stimulant—but Curry’s Liver Compound
to clean it off and put you in a shape again
try it.
A Reported Reconciliation.
It is understood in Atlanta that the
railroad syndicate have forced certain ed
itors in the State to kiss and “make up.”
The scene is represented thusly: Two
naughty boys had for some months been
making it unpleasant for each other and
their respective families. They were
like bull-dogs in temper, and had to be
watched to be kept from shooting each
other; but, it was also remarked by out
siders that they shot oftener at each oth
er when neither was in sight, and run
away the faster when an encounter was
imminent. Finally the daddies con
cluded to “conquer a peace.” Both dad
dies were well agreed, so they caught the
chaps one day—when both were skedad
dling out of reach of a duel—brought
them face to face, and made them kiss
and make up.
If this is true the railroad syndicate
can now devote its whole time to the
Georgia Legislature—they can now move
forward to subjugate the tax-payers who
are not railroaders—they can now turn
both batteries on an outraged public—
they can now bring up the two naughty
boys to a place when one editorial will
do for both, and the same policy will be
carried out, without the neces ! i, of a
standing guard to preve“ .. uuel. Wales
Wynton will be and all the good
people of the two cities will either have
to go into railroad slavery or get no pub
lic opinions from the press on their side.
In the meanwhile the naughty boys are
much pleased at the “money-moon” that
they are now enjoying. They were both
sick of watching for an attack at home,
and of being afraid to circulate up and
down the Central road. They coalesce
like two dew-drops; they blossom sweet
ly on one stem; they coo from the same
pigeon-house; and they crow from the
same roost.
Just Suppose
If it should be known who paid the
money that Victor Newcomb was credit
ed with?
If it should be shown by General Alex
ander’s statement to a Georgian that the
Attorney’s name “never appeared on
the L. & N.’s books for a dollar?”
If it should be shown that the first
$7,000 that “relieved present necessities”
went from Atlanta passed through the
L. & N. office to the party selling out?
If it can be shown why Cyrus W.
Field was able to send a solid Democratic
delegation to Cincinnati from Georgia for
Judge Field ?
If it can be shown who betrayed the
secrets, although all hands were sworn
on a Bible (in the ears) to keep them?
If it can be shown that certain cipher
dispatches that went from Nashville to
New York were handled freely, and
shown freely, and were copied to be
shown hereafter, if certain facts came to
the public ?
If it can be shown that these dispatches
do not tally with the explanation made in
public speeches?
If it can be slxjwn that a rosy Georgia
ex-Judge talked it all over up-stairs in
Castle Garden, New York city, with in
terested parties, which was overheard?
In vino veritas.
If it can be shown how long they hag
gled, and ho-.v the price increased day by
day, what then ?
If it can be shown that poor Victor
Newcomb was watched day by day in
New York to blind his eyes, and for be
ing a cuckold was deposed by the rail
road ?
If it can be shown what the Georgia
Pacific charter really stood for in Wall
street and in the Senate ?
Ji.dge Wright,of Rome, writes: “The
hands of Dr. F. in the Legislature ought
to be ‘held up.’ The failure of the peo
ple to sustain patriotic men in great
eflbrts to sustain principles necessary to
liberty, and therefore immortal, is one of
the great evils of the day. * * The
Doctor’s effort on the railroad bill was
certainly eloquent, because it was on the
side of mercy and truth. 11 is speech on
the convict bill brought many a tear to
the heart of humanity. The common
people begin to know what they have
believed for a long time—that his sym
pathies are all with them. Our great
railroad was probably saved from sale or
another lease by his noble effort. An
other lease! Everybody knows that the
lessees are making millions out of it for
themselves, while poor Georgia is still
millions in debt. Would it be impossi
ble to get an honest Governor to run
that enterprise honestly ! What a spec
tacle ! A people overwhelmingly in
debt, labor burdened with taxation until
there are six suicides since the war to
one before, our poor-houses full and
thousands outside, and yet this great
public work in the hands of outsiders,
mostly, and they reaping millions from
it, and building up colossal fortunes.
One feel3 like the honest appostle when
the city refused the Saviour its hospital
ity ‘calling down fire from heaven.’ ”
They say Felton is an “old demagogue.”
Dr. Felton knows that when the little
hirelings of the railroads call him a dema
gogue he has carried some thrust to the
“red,” and the “petty thief” who makes
it is conscious of his own guilt.

A. STRANGE STORY.
Not Written by Kwltver.
CHAPTER I.
Sometime in the month of May, in
the year 1880, there were gathered in
New York city, a crowd of politicians
—some editors, one legal gentleman and
one other person connected directly with
one of the editors. Some carried their
wives, some were unattended. A
person, who prefers to be called Cato,
happened to be in the city at the same
time on some political business. Asa
republican lie became much interested
in the aforesaid group, though they were
not at that time, and are still unacquaint
ed with him. But, perhaps Cato can
tell his story better than the writer, and
therefore Cato shall tell it.
Said Cato, “1 was much interested in
Mr. Blaine for the nomination that was
set for the first week in June. As an
Ohio man 1 could see my way tole>-'
l>ly clear to a goodthin ,r e . ue if Blaine
was nominated- I Knew wo could carry
the North’. est for him, but Grant was
the ’\-pular choice of the Northeast and
very strong in the South. We all knew
that he would carry every southern State,
if Sherman did not divide it with him,
[Sherman had pledged all the treasury
officers to himself; and there was many
a one.] But we knew, and so did Blaine,
that he could not raise a large following
in the North where Grant was so strong,
and we held some councils in the office of
Thos. L. James—who had come over se
cretly to Blaine to go in Blaine’s cabinet.
Cyrus W. Field was another Blaine man,
but Cyrus had a great desire to see his
brother Justice Field made President l)j r
the Democrats. Field and James adopt
ed a plan that they thought would work,
and as it is now a matter of history, 1
can tell you, reserving from the public
only my real name. Besides, I am dis
gusted at the duplicity of the creatures
we traded with and paid, and like my old
friend, Chas. L. Frost, who died some
years ago, I have been thrown much
with politicians, but nothing like their
greed for money has ever fallen under
iny notice. My experience has taught
me the risk of dealing with certain
southern Democrats, so designated, in
that “ Blame-Field ” combination.
James, who acted for Blaine, and Cyrus,
who acted for his brother Judge, were
“let into” it about as deep as they could
well be, and the open treason of these
creatures last year, when Blaine was ac
tually the Presidential candidate and ful
ly’ relying upon them, has disgusted some
people enough to talk it out. I was nev
er fooled. I followed close behind, and I
kept my private detectives on the track
when I slept or ate, and I have not been
quiet since that time in my researches,
and I have the story complete. We re
publicans—or some of us—entered into
the combination with much distrust, but
James and Field assured us the trade
would “stick.” It was agreed to get
Blaine delegates in all the Southern
States, either at the State conventions or
after thev reached Chicago. If Grant
oarried the Republican convention (which
was thought possible) we were to turn
our whole influence to Justice Field, and
make him President by independent
votes —just as Cleveland was elected in
1884. Field was to give us the offices,
and if Blaine made the race he was to do
likewise. If Blaine or Blaine’s friend
Garfield secured the nomination Field’s
friends were to retire quietly—after com
plimenting him at the Democratic con
vention. Garfield and Blaine well un
derstood each other, and Sherman had
been so lofty and persistent in cutting
Garfield out of the Ohio patronage that
we knew how much strength we could
control at Chicago—against Sherman.
Besides, Garfield was too weak a man to
resist Blaine’s strong nature. Blaine al
ways mastered him while botii were in
Congress together, and we were sur
prised to see John Sherman so blind as to
risk his candidacy in Garfield’s hands —
but as Blaine was benefitted we were
willing to use the tool for the master.
llow to get the Southern votes was the
problem—and here the strange story
grows interesting to you Southern people.

This invaluable preparation
lis trulv a triumph of scien

world.
rt not only shortens
thetmie of labor and lessens
die intensity of pain, but,
better than all, it greatly di
minishes the danger to life
|to both mother and child,
and leaves the mother in a
condition highly favorable to
speedy recovery, and far less
liable to flooding, convul
sions, and other alarming
symptoms incident to linger
ing and painful labor. Its
truly wonderful efficacy in
ibis respect entitles the
Mother's Friend to he
ranked as one of the life—
jsa' ing appliances given to
no world by the discoveries
of modern science.
From the nature of the
case, it will of course be un
