Salt Rheum
The agonies of those who suffer from severe
salt rheum arc indescribable. The cleansing^
healing, purifying Influences of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla are unequalled by any other medicine,
“ I tako pleasure til recommending Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, for It haa done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me
over nearly my entire body. Only Uioso who
have sufforsd from this disease in Its worst
form eau Imagine the extent of my affllcUou.
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health Is
greatly benefited.” Lyman Allen, Sexton
N. E. Church, North Chicago, 111.
* My son had salt rheum on Ills hands and
the calves of his legs, so had that they would
crack open and bleed. Ho took Hood's Sar.
saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. U. Stax,
yon, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 136
“1 was seriously troubled with salt rheum
lor three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. I am now entirely eured of salt
rheum; my weight lias Increased from 108 lbs.
to 135.” Mus. Auca Smith, Stamford, Conn.
It you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood
disease, try Hood's Sarsaparilla. It lias cored
many others, and will cure you.

Why Cleveland and Hill Are Going
to Win.
From Oeorgle Alfred Townsend’s Letter
In the Cincinnati Enquirer.
My present instinct is that both
Cleveland and Hill are going to tri

base this upon a few things which I
will set down.
In the first place the Republicans
have no money. One might have

A Governor Who Can Spoak.
General Gordon’s versatility as a
public speaker is remarkable. During
the war he frequently addressed his
men on the eve of battle, always with
fine effect. He was the orator-soldier
of the Confederacy. After the sur
render he was among the first to
take the stump In Georgia for the
deinocraoy. He figured conspicuous
ly in the debates of the United States’
Senate and since he left that body he
has made hundreds of speeches of all
sorts with apparently equal facility
and always with decided success.
Barbecues, political gatherings, rail
road meetings, Sunday schools, ban
quets, street processions, labor organ
izations, excursions, negro societies,
commercial conventions, ohurch • as
semblies—he has addressed all these
and more, and has been as happy in
his remarks to eaoh as if he had never
heard of any of the others. A few
days ago a new street was opened in
Atlanta and nothing would do but
that Governor Gordon should be in
duced to make a speeoh on the occa
sion. Out of & very small event ha
managed to get some fine suggestions
and talked for ten minutes in a very-
interesting way. Governor Gordon
is one of the few men who ever held
his own with the Glover Club of Phil
adelphia. Orators who have held
thousands enchained in the spell of
their eloquence have stammered and
looked silly and sat down in confusion
under the ordeal which .every guest
at » Clover Club banquet from Presi
dent Cleveland down to the humblest
newspaper reporter, must endure..
But Gov. Gordon has succeeded even
there. He was allowed to speak ful
ly a minute at a time without being
interrupted by a song or a jest from
irreverent Bohemians. This is the
best record of connected oratory in

We copy the following from the
Tribune, a Republican paper pub
lished in Savannah, to show how Mr.
DuBignon stands with all classes;
We learn from an official source
that the committee to whom was del-
egatedthe power to put out a Sena
torial ticket for this district, have
decided, after consulting with a num
ber of loading Republicans with a view
to their candidacy, that there will be
no party candidate for Senator.
This leaves the track clear for Hon.
F. G. DuBignon, our Solicitor Gen
eral, who has made himself famous in
that capacity by his courage and fear
less enforcement of the law without
regard to race or situation in life. All
law abiding men without reference to
party have a high regard for Mr.
DuBignon, and, while they do not like
to lose his services because of the
large number of important criminals
to be tried at the next term of court,
can but feel that his promotion to a
higher place in the State has been
justly earned and deserved.

Few people have any idea of the
enormous growth of the Railway
Mail 8ervice. Here are a few figures
used by Representative Blount, of
Georgia, in a speech last week on a
bill to inorease the salary of the Su
perintendent and providing for an
assistant superintendent. In 1870,
mails were carried over 70,000 miles of
railroad; in 1887 they were carried
over 107,000 miles. In 1870 the num
ber of pieces of mail matter handled
by postal clerks was 2,659,000; in 1887
it had increased to 5,851,000.
The majority report of the Utah
commission is against the admission

The big givers to oampaign funds
have generally been bankers, mer
chants, and the investors about the
big cities in the railroads. These
men with an excess of income
contribute to politics, or have contri
buted in the past, asaccessory to their
undertakings. They have regarded
one party or the other as offering
them i he largest security for the fu

fact that our most enterprising hank

figure of speech Mr. Sever Paige gave
me a year ago. which I put in your

railroad situation. Said lie; “ I’ln-se

Buffalo Bill* • Indians Visit the

dians. The senators like a little re
creation also occasionally, and more
of them could have been found to
day lookiug at the cowboys ride wild
horses than were at the Senate cham
ber. President Cleveland enjoys
novelty also, and this led him to make
special arrangements with Major
Burke to give an audietice to the
citizens of the Wild West show to
day. Promptly at noon the President
came down stairs and was startled to
find the big East Room was turned
into a veritable prairie. Seventy-
live Indians were there, arranged in
all the glory of paint and feathers.
They were under the immediate
charge of lied Shirt, Rocky Bear and
Plenty Wolves. Col. Cody was with
them, and so was Nate Salsbury, and
Mr. Bell, chief of the Secret Service
Bureau; Capt. Allison Nailorof Wash
ington, Judge Timothy Campbell and
other noted Indian scouts and fight
ers. The President grasped every
body by the hand and said “Ugh”
to the red faces, and complimented
them on their success abroad and
their fine appearance. Ho also prom
ised to visit the show if he could find
time to do so. Then the warriors
wrapped their blankets about them,
and followed by a motley crowd of
shouting urchins, visited the Senate
and House of Representatives, where
their presence created a genuine sen
sation. Secretary Vilas also gave the
strangers an audience, and they went
from his office in single file out to the
grounds, where they daily fight their
imaginary foes.
