A rousing anti-Blaiue-Logan meeting
v?as held by Independent Republicans
in Boston last Friday, in which
speeches were m3de by a number of
distinguished gentlemen, resolutions
passed denouncing the Chicago nominations
and expressing a determination
to war against them to the end, and a
committee of one hundred appointed to
effect organization to this end. A
number of speakers expressed the hope
that the Democratic convention at
Chicago would nominate snch a ticket
as they could support, some such man
as Cleveland, who is identified with
reform. The mention of Cleveland's
name was received with demonstrations
of applansc. The Massachusetts
Independents are in aeaa earnest.

than ever before in* our history. It is
safe to say that there a?-e not a full
dozen of well-rounded, thoroughlyequipped
men in the House who are at
the same time honest and earnest in !
their devotion to the public interests.
The ignorance of the great majority of
men returned to Congress is colossal
and astounding. They have never
studied public questions and hence
come into politics with only the most
vague and undefined notions."
The New York - Herald says: "A
prominent Republican politician, who
is excellent authority upon the subject,
said that neitherTGeneral (Sranl nor
Mr. Conkling would do anything
to support Blaine in the coming
election. He said that General Grant
wanted Logan nominated for the
Presidency, and had made np his mind
not to oppose Blaine, but to remain
neutral. Mr. Conkling, he said, had
accomplished his only desire by defeating
Arthur, and would not assist
Blaine by word cr act. 'Both Conkling
and Grant,' he said, 'regard
Jilaine's oeieat as cerrain.' Jtie saiu
that the Independent Republicans \vfto

TILDEXIS DECMXATI? Jf.
Samuel J. Tilden has at last spoken
autoritativelv upon the subject of his
candidacy for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. In an open
letter of the 10th inst., to Mr. Man
ning, Chairman of the New York
Democratic State Committee, lie says
positively that he cannot permit the
use of his name before tfie National
Democratic Convention in connection
with the Presidency. Mr. Tilden's
letter possesses a vigor characteristic
of its great author, and is admirable in
tone and spirit. Referring to his letter
to the convention in 18SQ, and the
present state of ftis neaitn, ne says:
At the present time the considerations
which induced my action in 1880
have become imperative. I ought not
to assume the task which I have not
physical strength to carry through. To
reform the administration of the Federal
government, to realize my own
ideal, and to fulfill the just expectations
of the people, w-ould indeed warrant,
as they conla alone compensate,
sacrifices which the undertaking would
involve. But, in my condition of advancing
rears and declining strength,
I feel no assurance of my ability to
accomplish these ofcjccts. I am, therefore,
constrained to say, definitely,
that I cannot now assume the labors of
an administration or of a canvass, undervaluing
in nowise that the best gift
of heaven, occasion and power are
sometimes bestowed upon a mere individual
to commnnicatc an impulse
for good. Grateful, beyond all words,
to niv fellow countrymen who would
ooeirm hoiipfiivpilf fll
tne, I am consoled by the reflection
that neither the Democratic party, nor
the Ilepulie for whose future that party
is the best guarantee, is now or ever
can be dependent npon any one man
for their successful progress in the
path of noble destiny. Having siven to
their welfare whatever of health and
strength I possessed or could borrow
from the future, and having readied
the term of my capacity for such labors
as their welfare row demands, I but
submit to the will cl (iod 111 deemiug !
my public career forever closed.
The above from the pen of Mr.
Tilden himself should certainly put at
rest all further speculation about his
attitude in the matter and the probable
action of the convention in the premises.
The cry for the "old ticket" must
hush now, and Democrats who may
have the welfare of the Democracy and
country at heart must begin to discuss
other and more available men. Fortunately
the convention will have good j
material from which worthy standard- j
bearers can be selected. Au honest,
inauly plattorm, wicu nominees m narmony
with it, will insure success at
the polls in November.

The work of the National Republican !
Convention is over, and the country,
while discussing new issues, is waiting
anxiously and impatiently for the
assemblage of the National Democratic
Convention on the Sth of next month.
Blaine and Logan are the chosen
standard-bearers of a rotten organization,
and the Republican party must
in tuc uaiiu/ai^ii sianu ui
fall by itsjown history and the record
of its elected leaders. They are both
j bad enough, surely, and the Democratic
party never before had a grander
opportunity of sweeping the country.

j independent press of the country, to
j say nothing of the avowed disgust of
j representative Republican journals, in
| condemning the work of the Repnbli|
can party at Chicago is significant ini
deed, and to the party in power solI
emnly ominous. Amid the hurrahs
I and shouts for Blaine and Logan, be
fore the delegates are home the JNew
York 7'imes declares that "It will not
support Blaine nor will it advise any
one to vote for him." The New York
Evening Post is, if possible, still more
bitter and hostile. It says: "What is
to be the issue from this deplorable
and disastrous but deliberately created
muddle it is yet too soon to forecast.
That Mr. Blaine cannot be elected, we
look 011 as certain. Whether lie can
be deteated without ruining "the organization
which is being prostituted
in the service of his selfish ambition
remains to be seen. The extent of the
defeat?that is the size of the majority
which will remove him permanently
from the political arena?will depend
largely upon the action of the Democrats.
They have now an opportunity
offered them such^as has'not preseuted
itself for a quarter of a century. That
they will make a good use of it, all experience
forbids us to hope. That they
will offer deliverance or relief to disgusted
Republicans by nominating
i such a man as Cleveland or Bayard,
| when Tilden, or Flower, or Jefferson
i Davis, or John ivellv are within their
reach, is something which it wonld be
very rash to predict. Bat as strange
things as this have come to pass.

which will represent the American j

adequately express the national respect
for the virtues by which the governments
as well as homes are maintained
and defended."
The Philadelphia Times says:
The Convention that has just adjourned
proved to every intelligent and
unbiased observer that the Republican
party is rapidly dying at the top,
where the Democratic party has been
dea<i for a quarter of a century. I saw
it at its first National Convention in
1S56; ] have seen it in every National
council since then, and participated in
an humble way in half of them, and I
am to-day impressed with the conviction
very widely accepted among many
Af oKIoof hnct 1oo/!ai*c t.hflf ?tc
work is done and its death throes upon
it. Democratic folly may give Blaine
an easy triumph in November, but it
would hasten rather than hinder Republican
annihilation. The^iJ^rk oT
organized Republican dywegration
will go on only the more^igoropsly
and resolntelv if the Democrats shall
remove all obstacles to Blaine's election,
while a reorganized Republican
party for the future may be born of bis
defeat.
The Boston Transcript is bold and
open in its denunciations, and among
other things says:
We only chronicle what is a patent
fact to every discerning person that
the Democrats can win thousands of
Republican votes for their Presidential
candidate in mass, provided they select
UiiCli man*
The Springfield Republican, perhaps
the most influential and respectable
paper in New England, but echoes the
same predictions and says:
These nominations are revolutionary.
They are such as the Republican
partv has never before presented, and
will carry dismay and alarm to thousands
of men who have regarded this
as the party of safety, of integrity, of
principle, and of high moral ends.
The\ portend deserved disaster and
defeat to the Remiblican nartv. and a
revolution in the National administration.
The Chicago Times characterizes the
candidacy of Blaine "as a menace of
evil to the Bepnblic," while the Boston
Herald says: .
Believing that Blaine would be a bad
and dangerous President, we hope to
see him defeated. Believing him to be

These are but specimens of the press
comments all over the country, and
unless there be a revolution in public
sentiment, Mr. Blaine cannot be elected
to the Presidency. Whether or not
there will be such a revolution depends
largely upon the action of the
National Democratic Convention, and
too much thought, stndy and attention
cannot be given to the political situation.
To insure success to the De
mocracy, a respectable ticket mast be
placed in the field; in ether words its
personnel must be good lo start with,
the nominees must emboc.y in themselves
the principles of turiff and administrative
reform, and they must
also be available men. These are, in
short, the essentials of a wise nomination.
If our. premises are correct the
Democratic Convention would siiow
its wisdom by the nomination of
Governor Cleveland for the Presidency.
He is a pure man, an able man,
sonnd upon the tariff*, a Reform Governor
and the most available Democrat
in the party. Supported upon the
ticket by Carlisle, Hurt! or McDonald,
success for the Democracy in November
-would be assured. We hope the
South Carolina delegation will vote for
Cleveland and Carlisle.
A Physician's Testimony.
I was called to see Mr. John Pearson,
who was confined to his bed with what appeared
to consumption of the worst form.
As all of his family had died with that
dread disease (except his half brother) his j
death was regarded as certain and soon.
After exhausting all the remedies, I finally j
as a last resort sent for a bottle of Brewer's |
Lung Restorer, and it acted like magic, j
He continued the use of it for some time
and has been fully restored to health. so ]
far as I could discover, he had consump- ;
tion, and Brewer's Lung Kestorer saved
his life. J. O. Holloway, M. D.,

TBE COLORED SCHOOLS.
What the Teachers of Them Have to Say.
3fessrs. Editors: In your issue of
May 28 a correspondent from Monticclio,
under the nom de plume of
"A. T.," for the amusement and edifi
calion of your readers, attempted to
ridicule the eolored institute near that
place and the "old man teacher" whose
tout eiisemble reminded him so vividly
of Rip Van "Winkle after his twenty
years' sleep. The teacher is gratified
to know that his efforts to enlighten
"the kinky heads of the seven little piccaninnies
who sat before him, each
armed with a bine back spellingbook,"
have been so highly complimented by
the young South Carolinian. Burdened,
as he feels, by the plaudits of
one of the rising generation, he ven|
tures, in a modest way, to inform the
writer, at the risk of appearing "supremely
ridiculous," that he has
neither been dead, drunk nor asleep
for the last twenty years, but has kept
apace with the times. "A. T." has
doubtless waked after a long nap, if
not a profound sleep, to realize Ihe
fact, that negroes are taught in our
public schools, and that too by Southern
men and women. After so long a
slumber is it anv wonder that in his
waking moments he is astonished to
see an old man plying that noble occupation?
lie has yet to learn, I suppose
to his still greater astonishment/'
that there is now a Claflin University

TIIE ISSUE OF ISSUES.
i Xho Necessity for Organized Free Trade

3fessrs. Editors: While the whole
country is alive with the importance of
Vn frvonf- nnoctmn /vf tfio tariff if
not appear inappropriate that some
measure should be taken by the people
of our county to see that their rights
be inforced. Especially now on the
eve of a great national struggle, the
Democracy must grasp with a firm
and unfaltering hand this vital issue if
we expect to win. The wants of outpeople
must be satisfied. "\Y"e have

tariffs which are grinding us down
into the dust. Free trade has ever been
and we hope ever will be inseperably
linked with our party. "We know that
the great majority of Democrats are
free traders; they cannot be otherwise
when the equities of the principles are
considered. For on the one side is
arranged wholesale, unprinciple fraud
and robbery without regard to those
nrincinles of riirht and justice which
men must hold dear whether viewed
from the standpoint of individuals or
societies; and to crown all, our very
independence is taken from us and
handed over to a few bloated capitalists
to trafic with for their own private
benefit utterly regardless of the welfare
of the county so they are allowed
to reap a golden harvest from the
sweat of other tneu's browS. On the
other side, well, there's no use defining,

by any murderous legislation. This
is what we as a great and free people
have a right to demand. Therefore
we say, let us organize Free Trade
Clubs, where this most vital of issues
between the two contending parties
can be discussed, with a view of fiting i
ourselves to vote intelligently when the '
time comes for ns to use this greatest;

It is also very important that those !
who are sent to Chicago to represent j

dealing in this matter will be tolerated
no longer; that they must stand out to
the last for justice and not shirk what
is admitted by every respectable political
economist to be the true sourcc of
a nation's wealth.
That it is necessary there should be

ping to consider whether any injury I

tariff is ever spoken of is during a
campaign by those who arc seeking office

that they do not altogether shut out the \

E. Bulwer Lytton, in his "Strange Story."
r Yes, but between its distant abutments
the bridge of life has many high and awful
arches, through which the wild waters
dash and roar in wrath and desolation.
Prayer and worship alone do not sustain
these. Nature's solid rocks must lie r.n
shaken beneath, and human art and skill must
rear and solidify the structure overhead.
God's will is best exemplified in the
laws lie has made for the creatures whom
He has placed under their control. Neither
the child's trustful "Our Father," nor
the old man's "Forcret me not in the midst .
of mine infirmities,'* will alter tills by the J
weight of a single grain.
Science and art first?then faith and
prayer?is the order of Heaven itself.
Divinity heals through its agents, and
those agents are the discoveries of man;
not the vague announcements of prophets
or seers. Is life a burden to you? Does
time drag? Is your power to" cope with
life's problem and duties weakened? You J
are not well. Your blood is sluggish and
tainted, perhaps; or some important organ
Is torpid or overworked. This fact may
have taken the form*of dyspepsia, rheumatism,
gout, malaria, pains in the stomach,
/>lirnniV> VlPaHftrtllA rti ftllv nf a flo7PC other
ills. PAKKER'S TONIC will invigorate
you, as fresh air invigorates those who
nave been shut up in damp, fetid cells. It '
is powerful, pure, delicious, scientific,
safe?the keystone of the central aroh of
the bridge of life. (adv.)

CAPT. B, W. BONNER,
A WELL-KNOWN CITIZEN OF MACON.
In August, 1S81, nearly three years ago,
liy son, who was at that time living at
Dlinton, Ga., came over to see me with the
>ad intelligence that his wife was in the
ast stages of consumption and that her
physician had pronounced her case hopef>?c
T wprtt irrnnpfJiatAlv r.vpr and I felt
;hat nothing could be done. She was
soughing arid spitting incessantly, and at
times would discharge from her lungs a
arge quantity of pus or matter?could not
>leep or retain anything on her stomach,
md was, in fact, m the last stages of the
iisease. This was about the time you be?an
to advertise Brewer's Lung Restorer,
md as my son expressed a desire to give it
x) his wife, two or three bottles were procured
and with scarcely a vestige of hope
sve commenced giving it to her in small
loses, gradually increasing the quantity
antil the prescribed dose was reached. She
jegan to improve after a few doses and
continued to do so daily; until she was
inally restored to life and health, and is
x>day perhaps in better health than ever
jefore. She is subject to colds, but a few
swallows of Brewer's Lung Restorer
'which she is never without) relieve her
mmediatelv. I consider her restoration to
perfect health a miracle, for which she is
ndebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. My
>on is almost a monomaniac on the subject
>f Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets
tn opportunity pass where he thinks such
i "ledicine would be required, that he does
lot speak of it in most glowing terms. Not
ong since a Northern gentleman on his
vay to Florida heard of this cure and was
nduced by my son to give it to his invalid
vife, and she was cured as if by magic.
Mr. Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado,
ays: seeing certmcates 01 me wonuercui :ures
made by Brewer's Lung Restorer, I
vas induced to try it on my little son, who
vas troubled with lung or throat affection,
>ronounced by one physician, consumpion.
It acted" wonderfully 011 him, and by
he time he had taken one bottle of it the
:ough disappeared. I am now on a visit to
ny parents in Georgia, but will return in a
ew days to my honie and will certainly
ake some of tlie Lung Restorer with me.
