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.

Washington, Oct. 1st, 1888. Editors Union-Rkcokbkr: Representative Campbell, of Now Yafk says: “W« are going to carry New York. The Republicans can’t do anything to prevent it They can’t st<^> ft. They don’t know what I am talking about when I say that—but 1 know. We don’t intend that they shall know it. We will carry the state easy. It will be much more agreeable aud pleasant if we can have a union candidate for mayor of New York City. We can save about $200,-’ OOfby it, and that money can go into Indiana or somewhere else. 1 think wf shall unite on the Mayor, but I dda’t know who it will be.” jienator Gibson, of Louisiana, ably defended his State from the aspersions ckst by the resolution of ‘‘Little Blllv” andler, proposing an investigation the late State election. Mr. Gib- called attention to the faot that nf citizen of Louisiana had ever pe titioned to have this investigation n*de. He also alluded to the faot, milch has become notorious, of these investigations always being proposed jost before an important Congression al or Presidential election is to be tteld. In the last allusion the dena- r struck at the heart of the bloody t iirt business. It is always brought tfi the front just before election time hi the hope that it will help to arouse dteotional ieellng in the North and make votes for the Republican party.

A New York dispatch of the 29th ult., says, Gan. Ben Lefevre, chair man of the committee on campaign speakers, said to a New York corre spondent on the 29th ult: “All reports from the West and North-west are very gratifying, and in fact the gene ral outlook is brighter to day than it has ever been.” “Reports from the various state committees give ample assurance of our victory in Novem ber.” _ | Tlie Eastman Times has this to say of Mr. duBignon : The election of Hon. Fleming du Bignon as president of the senate would meet the hearty sanction of the people in this part of the wire grass section.

My present instinct is that both Cleveland and Hill are going to tri umph in the State of New York. I base this upon a few things which I will set down. In the first place the Republicans have no money. One might have 22™ H lth ,L he tariff , q T tiOD - the history*of'the'ciover'club! raised prominently, the manufacturers 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.

Call at Union-Recorder office 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. ate and placed on the calendar, and a statement made that it would not. be pushed to a vote at the present ses sion. This statement by Sherman will be made an excuse for choking off the House Canadian Retaliation bill. 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 of that Territory, until the Mormons shall give evidence by their acts that they have in good faitli abandoned polygamy, and not then until an amendment shall have been added to the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting the practice of polygamy. Chief Justice Fuller and family have arrived here and have taken posses sion of the house he has leased for a year.

Oberly, of Illinois has been nominat ed Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Ex-Congressman Ben LeFevre, of Ohio, thinks the Democrats have good fighting chance in that State. Ex-Senator Camden, of West Vir ginia, says his State can be counted upon to give the usual Democratic mujority. A Chicago special says that the great advance in the price of flour, which has followed close upon the heels of the advancing price of wheat is to be followed in turn by dearer loaves of bread. Many bakers insist that they must charge seven cents a loaf hereafter for a loaf which is now selling for five cents.

In any largeTay^g Tqv of treasured* ■'*”* 1 *' 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 ture. In the present political situa tion there is no security whatever. The mercantile gravity of things has caused a slump. Here is tlie most vaunted stock on the Now York Stock Exchange—Mil waukee and St. Paul—flat on its back its dividend passed, and the Drexels an<4 Morgans who are the biggest trust firm in the world, seeking In London to pass that road through their hands and possibly reorganize it, with tlie advantage of another shave of several millions. Nothing that I know of demon strates more correctly the compulsory character of these trusts than the fact that our most enterprising hank ing firms, possibly tlie best thinker among all the bankers in it, namely. Mr. Pierpont Morgan, lias been able to take hold of railroad after rail road, generally helpless things in its hands, and set them on their feet af ter a tremendous amputation of stock and bonded debt. These trusts, for so they are. be tween the-railroad and the banker, have come out of dire necessity. ’Pile figure of speech Mr. Sever Paige gave me a year ago. which I put in your columns, is amply borne out by the railroad situation. Said lie; “ I’ln-se trusts, my friend, arise from tlie fact that there is not uiuci of the tur key to go around. Yonder are two houses side by side selling coffee, each of them keeps on the road its i ravel ing drummers, and each lias its book keepers, salesmen, and al’ that; they are making no money, and they sny to each other, “Let us codibine aid then one set of clerks will do the work of both houses.” Gov. Gordon has yet to meet th® occasion when he cannot talk, and talk well.—Macon Telegraph. Buffalo Bill* • Indians Visit the X lie day now, and the few im.J L ~ maining In the city go out to see Buf falo Bill and his cowboys and In 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. The champion fat boy of Virginia is Melbourne Grubb of Wythe> ili<*, who is 10 years old ami weighs 216 pounds.
