Sore Eyes
he eyes are always in sympathy 'with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. "When the eyes become
weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has
become disordered by Scrofula, for
which Aycr's Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.
Scrofula, which produced a painful in
flammation iu my eyes, caused me much
sufferinfr for a number of years. By the
advice of a physician I commenced taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using this
medicine a short time I was completely
Cured
My cye3 aro now in a splendid condi
tion, and I am as well and strong as ever.
Jlrs. 'William Gage, Concord, K. H.
For a number of years I was troubled
with a humor in my eyes, and was unable
to obtain any renei until l commenceu
using Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This medi
cine hxi elTccted a complete cure, and I
believe it to be the best of blood puri
fiers. C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H.
From childhood, and until with a few
months, I ha o been afflicted with Weak
anil Sore Eyes. I have used for these
complaints, with beneficial results,
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and consider it a
great blood purifier. Mrs. C. Phillips,
Glover, Vt.
I suffered for a year with inflamma
tion in my left eye. Three ulcers formed
on the ball, depriving me of sight, and
causing great pain. After trying many
other remedies, tono purpose, I was final
ly induced to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
By Taking
three bottles of this medicine I havo been
entirely cured. My sight has been re
stored, and thero is no sign of inflamma
tion, ?ore, or ulcer in my eye. Kendal
T. Bowen, Sujjar Tree Itidge, Ohio.
My daughter, ten years old, was afflict
ed with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During
the last two vears she never saw light of
any kind. "Pliysirians of the highest
standing exerted their skill, but with no
permanent success. On tho recommen
dation of a friend I purchased a bottle of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which my daughter
commenced taking. Before she had used
the third bottle her sight was restored.

PBESIDENTIAL ELEOTOBS.
A correspondent desires to know
what would be done if Harrison
and Morton should be elected and
should both die before the electors
from the several states meet to
cast their votes for president and
vice-president. The question is
not exact in its terms. Neither
Harrison and Morton nor Cleve
land and Thurman can be elected
until the electors from the several
states have met and cast their votes
for president and vice-president, or
for president or vice-president if
one of the candidates the electors
favor should die between the date
of the election and the date of the
meeting of tho electors. The con
stitution provides (Article II, Sec
tion 2) that "each state shall ap
point, in such manner as the
legislature thereof may direct, a
number of electors, equal to the
whole number of senators and
representatives to which the state
may be entitled in the congress;
but no senator or representative,
or person holding an oflice ot trust
and profit under the United States,
shall be appointed an elector."
The electors are required to meet
in their respective states and vote
by ballot for president and vice
president, one of whom, at least,
shall not be an inhabitant of the
same state with themselves. This,
except the personal qualification
for both president and vice-president
as to nativity and age, is the
only constitutional limit upon the
power of the electors to choose a
president. What would be done
in the event of both of the sttccss
ful candidates dying between the
date of the election of electors and
the date of the meeting of electors
is subject to the unwritten law
which requires electors to vote for
tho candidates of their party. The
constitution places in the fiands of
tho electors the power to vote for
whom they please, providing the
person voted for is eligible, but the
unwritten law is that they shall
vote for the two men the party
which placed the electors in nomi
nation designated as their choice.
There is nothing in the constitu
tion to prevent a majority of the
electors chosen in November from
voting for other men than their
party had placed in nomination.
For example, if a majority of the
Republican electors should be
elected in November and tlipy
should agree to vote for another
eligible man than Mr. Harrison
the person so voted for would be
elected. The popular idpa is that
the president is elected on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in
November, while in fact it is only
the electors who are elected. The
president and vice-president are
elected on the first Wednesday in
December, the day provided by
law for the electors to meet in
their respective states. Our cor
respondent will see, therefore, that
a.majority of the electors chosen
in November have the power to
name new candidates if both the
candidates named by the conven
tion of their party should die be
tween the date of the election of
electors and the meeting of elec
tors, but it is not in accordance
witli the spirit of tho usages gov
erning the selection of candidates
that they should exercise that
power. The natural course to
take in the emergency supposed
would be to call the national con
vention of their party together
again that the party might name
the candidate the electors should
vote for.
Eat With Comfort and be Happy,
it is by no means uncertain, but on the
contrary, a well ascertained fact, that
upon the well being of man's stomach
depends that modicum of happiness which
Is vouchsafed to him In this world. Dys
pepsia, the foe of all others to the stomach's
tranquility, and most to be dreaded. Is a
complaint to the preliminary relief and
eventual cure of which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is specially adapted. It enables
those who use it with a reasonable degree of
persistence to eat with a degree of relish,
because It imparts a healthful appetite ; to
digest with ease, becauso it strengthens the
stomach ; and to assimilate the food which
Is eaten and digested, thus benefitting
health, promoting flesh and sustaining the
exercise of the physical and mental facul
ties. It. moreover, facilitates the secretion
of healthy bile, actuates without discomfort

The Political Campaigner.
Campaigns cost money now, but
it isn't the oratory that costs.
We pay more for campaign bands
now every year than congress gets,
and the campaign expenses of both
parties would send Bibles and
bustles all over Africa. Grown-
up men clothe themselves in tin
helmet and oilcloth overcoats,
holler all night and go home at
breakfast time with their pockets
full of clam chowder and two or
three torchlight wicks in their hats.
We have found out that the aver
age man is only a big boy and
frequently a lunkhead at that.
He likes to feel the gentle exhil
aration of martial music and rum
firing his veins and to flatter him
self that it is heroism and valor.
Stirred by the lascivious plcasings
of the bass drum he walks thirteen
miles in the rain and smokes cigars
which would make the Chicago
river turn around and run the other
way. We have learned that we
do not need much money for folks
who read the papers and think
thoughts. The money goes mostly
to give the thirsty and ignorant a
general outing, as I may say. The
campaign comes like a benison to
those who, aside from the Fourth
of July, a public baptism, or the
funeral of a distant relative, see
very little to enjoy. Bill Nye,
in jrV. Y. World.
Remember This.
If you are sick Simmons Liver Regu
lator will surely aid nature in making
you well. If you are costive or dyspep
tic or aro suffering from any other of
the numerous diseases of the Liver,
Stomach or Bowels, it is your own fault
if you remain ill, for Simmon's Liver
Regulator is a sovereign remedy in all
such complaints.
The' tell a story in Dublin about
Balfour and an eminent bishop
who has fought hard for the unfor
tunate people of his country. The
two men met for the first time at
dinner, and in tho course of the
talk Mr. Balfour said: "But after
all, I fancy that the newspapers
make more noise than the masses.
Do you think now that the people
really dislike me?" "Ah, Mr.
Balfour," said the priest, ''if the
Irish only hated the devil half as
much as they hate you my occu
pation would be gone."
