TANN Ell STUX BOLUS OUT.
A dispatch from New York dated Au
gust 8, gives the following particulars of
Dr. Tanner's fast. His task will be fin
ished at 12 o'clock on Saturday next :
His features are pinched and drawn,
and bbl eyes look heavy. His temper is
irritable, and crowds of spectators annoy
him. His usual drive failed to benefit
bim, and ho says he will give up going
out until the end of bis fast. During
the morning he drank at intervals less
than half a pint of croton and mineral
water. He is now on bis thirty-seventh
day. The record of Dr. Haeber, who wat
one of tba watchers, last night says "I
don't yet find anything alarming in Dr.
Tanner's condition, and believe fro in the
strength. developed when ho walks,
moves and speaks, that if ho abstains
from irritating drinks, like mineral
water, ho may fast four or five days more
-that is up to Saturday." His strength
seems to leave him during the early
morning hours, and > at this time the
watchers are doubly careful lest signo of
collapse should begin to show themselves.
At one time during last night there were
no leen than ten physicians in the gallery.
Tanner seemed to with for all the air he
could .possibly get, and bad all the win
dows open. A refreshing breera during
the nigbt was enjoyed very much by him.

The Hon. Wm. H. English transmitted
tho following lotter of acceptance of tbo
nomination o? candidate for Vice-Preal

day :
2b Hon. John IK. Stevenson, I'reriJent of Con

aud other Members of the Committee of No

I:; m AK.* VOM!?, July 80.
Gentlemen : I baye now the hoitor to
reply to your letter of the 13th instant
informing mo that I watt unanimously
nominated for Vico-Fresldeiit of tho
United State? by the late Democratic
National Convention which assembled at
Cincinnati. As foreshadowed in verbal re
marks tn ado by ino af tho timo of tho i
delivery of your lotter. I have now to
say that I accept tho high trust, with a
realizing sense of itu responsibility, and
am profoundly grateful for the honor
conferred. I accent tho nomination upon
tho platform of principien adopted by tho
Convention, which X cordially approvo,
and I accept lt quito as much bocauao of |
my faith iu tho' wisdom and patriotism
of tbo great statesman and soldier nomi
nated on tho same ticket for Presi
dent of tho United States, ills eminent
k jrviccs to his country, his fidelity to tho
Constitution, tho Union and the laws,
his clear perception of conoc? principles
of government aa taught by Jefferson ;
his pcrunuloua caro to keep the military
in strict subordination to tho civil au
thorities; his high regard for civil lib
erty, personal rights and the rights of
property ; lils acknowledged ability In
civil as well ai military affaira, and hts
puro and blameless lifo, uti point to him
aa a man worthy of Uie confidence of tho
pooplo, as not only a bravo soldier, groat
commnndor, wiso statesman and pure
patriot, but a prudent, painstaking,
practical man of unquestioned honesty.
Trusted often with Important public du
tton, faithful to every trust and In the I
full meridian of a ripe and vigorous |
manhood, he IH, in my judgment, emi
nently fitted for tho highest position on
earth-tho Prosldoucy of the United
States,
Net only is ho tho right man for tho
Claco, but tho timo has como when tho
est interesta of tho country require tbut
tho party which has monopolized the
exocutlvo department of the General
Govornmont ?for tho last twenty years
should bo retired. Tlio contlnuanco of
that party in power four years longer
would not bo beneficial to tho public, or
in accordance with tho spirit of oar ro
?mblican institutions. Laws of entail
lave not been favored In our system of|
govvoment. Tho perpetuation of prop
erty or place in ono family or sot of men
has never been encouraged in this coun
try, and tho great and good mon who,
founded our Republican govornmont
and its traditions, winoly limited tho
tenure of office, ana in many ways show
ed their disapproval of long leases bf |
power.
TWENTY Y KAI!.'!
of continuous power is long enough, and
has already lou to irregularities and cor
ruptions which are not likely to bo prop
ly osposed nuder tho ?arno party thal
porpetrated thorn.
It should not bo forgotten that tho four
last years of power hold by that party
wero procurad by discroditablo moana,
and hold in defiance of tho wishes of tho
majority of tho pooplo. It was a griev
ous wrong to ovo ry voter and our system
of self-government which should novoi
be forgotten or forgiven. Many of the
mon now in ofilco wore pat there heeauso
of corrupt partisan services in thus do
feating tho fairly and legally exprossod
Will or tho majority, ?ind tho hypocrlay
of tho professions of that party in favor
of civil service reform was shown by
placing auch men in ofneo and turning
tho whole brood of Federal office-holders
Iooso to influence elections. Tho money
of the pooplo taken out of the publia j
treasury by these men for services of ten
poorly performed or not poformed at all,
hoing used in vast sums with tho knowl
edge and presumed sanction of tho ad
ministration to control elections, and
even members of tho Cabinet aro stroll
ing about tho country making partisan
Bpooches, instead of being in their de
partments at Washington discharging the j
{mhllo duties for which they aro paid by
he people. But with all their cleverness
and ability a discriminating publia will
no doubt read botween tho linea of theh
upoechca that tholr paramount hopo and
ann i? tu keep themselves or tboir satal
ites four years longor in office. That
rKUl'KTUATINO THU l'OWEBS
of chronic Fedoral officeholders four
years longer will not bonoflt tho millions
of mon and women who bold no ellice,
but cam their dallybread by honest indus
try ls whatthoeamodlseorningpubllo will
no doubt fully understand, as they will
also that it is because of tboir own indus
try and economy, and God's bountiful
harvests, that tho country ls compara
tively prosperous, and not bocauao of
anything done by these Fedoral office
holders. Tho country ls comparatively
prosperous, not bocauso of thom, but tn
BpKe of thom. This contest is in fact
botween tho pooplo endeavoring to retain
tho political power which rightfully L -
longs to them, and to restore tho puro,
Himple,- economical, constitutional gov
ernment of our f?tthor:a on tho ono aldo,

with placo and power and determined to

elections through tho medium of paid
fmrtUun Fedoral officeholders interested
a keeping tholr party in power, and

party upon tho clearly reserved rights of
tho people and States will, if not chocked,
subvert tho liberties of tho pooplo and the

Dry Goods,
Boots. Shoes,

AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
AT
NEW YORK COST !
Why Do We Do This?
BECAUSE our Stock is too largo for tb IR
season of tho year!
BECAUSE we make more by Belling
everything at cost than carrying over, ns to
all indications, Goods are going to bo low
next season.
BECAUSE wo need every inch of our
largo store for an immenso stock of Fall
Goods.
BECAUSE tho people expect of os to
follow thc example of the leading Store in
every city to have a great "Clearing Sale."
BECAUSE we can afford lt, and we know
our hundreds of customers appreciate our
efforts.
Lay aside your prejudices, and don't
think that Charleston, Atlanta or New
York ure tho only places where you buy
what you want at a low figure.
We say-give us a trial, and you will be
agreeably disappointed and highly pleased.
No house can buy for less than wu do,
and no house can sell for less than we do.
