Why You F,eel
So weak and exhausted is because your
blood is impure. As well expect the
sanitary condition of a city to he per
fect with defiled water and defective
sewerage, as to expect such a compli
cated piece of mechanism as the human
frame to he in good order with impure
blood circulating even to its minutest
veins. Do you know that every drop
of your two or three gallons of blood
passes through the heart and lungs in
about two and a half minutes, and that,
on its way, It makes bone and muscle,
brain and nerv«, and all other solids
and fluids of the body? The blood is
the great nourisher, or, as the Bible
terms it,
The Life of the Body.
a
ïs it any wonder, then, that if the blood
be not pure and perfect in its consti
tuents, you suffer so many indescribably
symptoms?
Ayer's Sarsaparilla stands " head and
shoulders " above every other Alter

G. C. Brock, of Lowell, Mass., says:
"For the past 25 years I have sold
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. In my opinion,
the best remedial agencies for the core
of all the diseases arising from impuri

medicine."
Eugene I. HUI, M. D., 381 Sixth Ave.,
New York, says : "As a blood-purifier
and general builder-up of the system, I
have never found anything to equal
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It gives perfect
satisfaction."

THE ORGAN'S SAGACITY.
"The following from Governor Biggs'
home organ, the Middletown Nett Era
will show that the Governor not only
gets away with the Gocbrans, but tells
them about it afterwards
" It was not only a " big rain" on Sat
nrdav that swept over old St. Georges
Hundred, but in the language bf a
well known citizen and politician, it
was a " Biggs reign,", and unless wé
are much mistaken, blind, prejudiced
and ignorant, the end of said " reign
is not yet."
The above taken from the Smyrna
Times of September 19th, suggests the,
following recount of the political his*
tory of St. Georges Hundred, dating
from the contest for the Guberna
torial nomination of 1886. , > p
The Democratic Party up. to" that
period had been virtually a -unit, in
sentiment and work, but the lack of
interest displayed by the rank and and
file, had resulted in the machinery
being run by a few of the more en
thuastic workers of the party. When
the name of E. R. Cochran, was men
tioned by some as the choice 6f the
party for the, then, next Governor,
the said gentleman being Clerk of the
Peace for New Castle county, an op
position was at once developed, that
from the beginning was fatal to suc
cess. B. T, Biggs the present Governor,
was put forward as the representative
of the opposition, with the plea, that
in the event of election, many reforms
were to be brought about, notably such
close corporations, known as Family
Gatherings, Court House Rings, and
meetings attended by the select few,
to nominate tickets where the people
had no voice, should all be broken up;
that every nomination should be the
subject of friendly 'discussion and the
first choice of the people be the man.
On the Cochran jide, it was con
tended that there was no Count House
Ring further thin the best interests of
the party demanded, that while ad
mittedly the leaders of the party dis
cussed from that centre the needs of
the State, Countyjand Hundred, from a
Democratic standpoint, nothing secret
or opposed to the peoples good was
concocted or promulgated, That the
Odessa meetings, while lightly attend
ed, were so, because the great body of
voters did not care to go and have a
voice in the nominations, this being an
inference most natural from the fact
that such meetings were without ex
ception, advertised publicly, and the
people invited to attend ; that the
talk of family could not be verified,
since there was at that time but one of
the Cochran's in office.
It was further charged that since E.
R. Cochran had been a member of the
legislature and bad then been appoint
ed Clerk of the Peace, that it looked
like rotation in office, and that such
things should not be, since one term or
one office was enough for a man, and
others should then have a chance.
Thi3 was answered by sayidg that if B.
T. Biggs was elected things would!»
no better, that appointments would be
made from a family standpoint. This
was vigorously denied by the Biggs
men. Finally, after looking at the
many and varied charges, counter
charges, and refutations, from a dis
interested point of view, it was gener
ally conceded that the nomination -of
Major Biggs was for the best interests
of the people.
After an exceedingly bitter fight the
day came for the nomination and St.
Georges Hundred decided for B. T.
Biggs over E. R. C chran, by a ma
jority of 120.
Jas. R. Hoffecker, had previously
been made the candidate of the Tem
perance Reform party, the Repub
licans making no fight, and at the elec
tion in November Major Biggs carried
this Hundred by a majority of 217.
The administration of Governor
Biggs then commenced, but he was not
left to that peaceful repose, the reward
of hard labor, every official act being
closely scrutinized, and commented

The appointment of Herman Bes
seytothe Superintendency of Public
Schools for New Castle county, under
the new law, was among the most
severely criticised. It was said that
Mr. Bessey up to the election in 1884,
had been an avowed Republican, and
even in that year, while voting the
local Democratic ticket, gave as a rea
son for so doing tbat " the Republicans
had no chance" and cast his vote for
the Blaine Electors,
pointment was said by many to have
been unwise, as not being strictly De
mocratic.
The appointment of Attorney Gen
eral Paynter to the vacant judgeship,
followed closely by the appointment of
the Governors' son, John Biggs, to the
Attorney Generalship was another
source of discomfort to those parties
who had heard so much of "Family,
and some went so far as to say, tbat
Paynter would never have been Judge
if it were not to make room for John
Biggs.advancement.
It is also asserted that while the
meetings at Odessa have been discon
tinued that nominations are now
made by two or three gentlemen with
out submission to any one else.
Tbat the late county committee was
named by one man, in opposition to
the old custom of each Hundred choos
ing its own representative.
This is denied in toto by the Biggs
faction.
However, after two years of office
the Governor, by implication, came be
fore tbe people for endorsement. To
Copy a little, this time it was a condi
tion, before it was a theory. The
Biggs men presented the name of W.

Democratic Disintegration.
The Democratic chieftains cry
"Peace, Peace," but there is no peaee
in the Democratic ranks. All along
the line there are murmurings of dis
content which presages an open reyolt
before the November election.
The ratification meeting of Saturday
night last was one of the most inair id
and dejected ever held in this city. •
Notwithstanding the high pitched
eloquence bf the occasion the few
hundred there assembled refused to
enthuse, and before 10 o'elock the
meeting had vanished into frte mist" of
the evening.
One faction stands ready to knife to
the heart the opposing faction, and sneb
a feeling wiH, in time, disrupt and
disintegrate apy party.
The factional fight in New Castle
county has its parallel, as is indicated
by a private letter received from Dover
during the present week.
The letter is of more than passing
interest, and although not written for
publication, we deem of sufficient im
portance to reproduce it:—Wilming

Dover, Djsl, Sept 18th, 1888.
Dear Sir:— The Wolcott men
think the ticket nominated will be
elected, or at least they say they do,,
but you cannot find any of them who
wants to bet it will. B, R. Kenney

that John Fennimore would not be fr»

me this day be did not thil

He says he has nothings
Bidgely, and is very sorry ha to on the
ticket, as he would like to. see Dan
elected, but did not think he could be,
as the people did not iike the way be
was put on. I have only heard two or
three Saulsbury men say they would
vote the ticket nominated, and hun
dreds of them say they would not,
under any consideration, and the lon
ger the time the more bitter they seem
—much more so now than just after
the convention, and it looks to me,
and every other good thinking man,
that the Republicans would carry tbe
county. The only doubt any one, ex
cept the Wolcotts, now have is the
kind of a ticket the Republicans will
make out. Colby Smith is supposed
to be the man nominated for sheriff by
tbe Republicans, and should he be,
they will be offering odds he will be
i ie next sheriff, as he will not only
: . all the Republicans, but a great
many Saulsbury Democrats, and the
ones he does not get will not vote for
f.iiy one. I expect to vote for Dan
Ridgely, but he is tne only man they
put on the ticket I will vote for. Ton
cannot get a Wolcott man to talk poli
tics, they seem to want things to get
quiet, and it looks as If they thought
they had done wrong, and should they
have it to go over I think they would
do very different. But now it is too
late, and they think they are downed,
as do a great many others. It surely
looks like the Republicans carrying this
county.
Thisisa specimen of some individual
in Kent County, calling himself a
Democrat and sent to the Wilmington
tan. We venture to say if his identity
were known, he would be found to
have been one of the loudest to counsel
the minority in '86 to support the
majority. To-day be is plainly using
his best efforts, being in the minority,
to defeat the Democratic Ticket. We
have heard it said that with a certain
family in Kent County, it is "rule or
ruin" the forgoing looks like it.

An Old Relic.
Some fifty years ago, when specie
payments were suspended, and frac
tional currency scarce, and change dif
ficult to make, a number of responsible
gentlemen of Kent county and else
where in tbe state issued small notes
of various denominations ranging from
six-and-a-quarter to fifty cents. The
notes went by the name of "shinplas
ters," and passed as currency in the
community. A gentleman of Balti
more recently picked one of the» notes
up in the street of that city, and sent
it as a curiosity to the Kent News. It
bore tbe following inscription : "On
demand we promise to pay to bearer
twelve and-a-half cents, in current
bank notes, at either of oUr stores in
Cbestertown or Millington, Md. Dec

a great contractor, then a railroad
king and left half a dozen millions for
bis son to dissipate. The young man
is a success as a dissapator.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most h amble
walks of life, grew strong mentally and
physically, by simple living and honest
labor and developed into financial
giants. Their sons were reared in the
lap of laxary and developed into in
tellectual pigmies.
The great men of our country have
not, as a rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins of the rural districts.
Simple ways of living, freedom from
dissapation and enervating pleasures,
simple remedies for disease, effective
and which leave no poison to the sys
tem, develop brawny, brainy men,
who compel the world to recognize
their strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned
Cabin remedies are the safest
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how to prepare the teas
and syrups of roots, herbs and balsams
which drive disease out of the system
by natural methods and leave
ill effects. The most potent of these
old-time remedies were, after long
and searching investigation, secured
by H. H. Warna: of safe cure fame,
and are now put out for the "healing
of the nations" in the Warner's Log
Cabin Remedies.
Regulate the regulator with War
ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and with
pure blood giving health, strength,
mental and bodily vigor, yon may hope
to cope successfully with the most gi
gantic financial problems of the age,
without wrecking health and man
hood.

Butler on Wool.
Ben Bntler is again seeking the no
toriety that he so dearly loves by mak
ing a severe a
Means Commi
putting wool on tbe free list. It is
probably a matter of very slight conse
quence what Ben Butler thinks, or
says lie thinks, about any public ques
tion. Benjamin bas bad his day, and
his influence is now probably less than
it ever was before during his whole
stormy political career.
Nevertheless it may be worth while
to mention the fact that Butter most
distinctly stated, not very long ago, to
Mr. John Codman tbat be was strong
ly in favor of the. free admission
of wool as a necessâry act for
the encouragement of the woolen
industry. Mr. Codmaq^ who is ^
a man of character and veracity, pub- 3
licly makes this statement over his
own signiture, and no reputable person '
will undertake to question it. The
sudden change of opinion by Butter is
therefore simply an illustration of the
lack of principle which has charac
terized the whole career of this most
preposterous demagogue;—Star.

The Senate has passed the bill to
make the Agricultural Department an
executive department, after rejecting
an amendment transferring the weather
bureau to that department and laying
on the table an amendment to estab
lish a department of national indus
tries. The bill as
tbe Department of
an executive department, under the
supervision and control of a secretary „
of agriculture, who shall be appointed
by tbe President. There shall be to
tbe department an assistant secretary
of agriculture, to be appointed by the
President. The secretary of agricul
ture shall receive the same salary as
is paid to the secretary of each of fr|»
executive departments, and the satety
of the assistant secretary of
tu re shall be the same as that
to the first assistant secretary of the
Department of the Interior.—Every
Evening.
We feel that tbe agricultural inter
ests of the country have advanced a
step, since the above legislation has
been eonsumated. The dignity of a
cabinet portfolio alone will be some
thing for a former to be proud of, even
white the results, politically, remain
untested. We agree with Senator
Saulsbury, in his views and vote on the
amendment to transfer the Weather
Bureau to the new department. Wim
agricultural interest is of
portance to be entitled to a
and distinct Department. ;
