The , attainment of this result requires the , free and cordial co opernt ion of all elements of the Democratic party. , To secure such co operation it is es . scntiul that the nominee of the party . for the high otlice of Go\ernorof this proud old commonwealth should not ( lie a man who lias besmirched her fair fame, slandered her otlicials, dis ortdetl her history, outraged her dignity.

Thoiupsoirs latest experimont was tho grafting of tho braia of one animal upon that of another. J1 is success opens the question of the |K)ssihility of the grafting of the brains of human beings. Dr. Thompson says; **It occurred to me recently, while studying cerebral localization in tho lower animals, that it would be interesting to OKA FT A 1*1 KOK OF BUAf* TISSCK from one side of a dog's brain to the other, or from one animal s brain into another's, and study its vitality. Of course I had no expectation of being able to restore abolished function by the operation, but the question of vitality of the bratti tissue and the cause of its degeneration are subjects of very wide interest. The first experiments were preliminary, made in order to ascertain whother the transplanted brain would be immediately absorbed or would slough away. "I cut open tin* skulls of two large dogs uiitl interchange. 1 pieces of the brain tissue of each. On the third lay hotli dogs were killed, and the transplanted pieces of brain looked normal, and in each ease they were so (irmly knitted together that it was impossible to pull thum apart with a forceps without laceration. "The next experiment was with a cat and a dog. Three days later the cat was killed. The transplanted dog's brain was found where it had been placed, firmly adherent to the cat's brain. No microscopic examination was made in connection with the experiments, as they wore intended only to determine the possibility of the transplanted tissue adhering. Being satisfied in regard to this matter, I proceeded to another experiment. T procured a street mongrel dog, opened his skull over the left lobe of the brain, and through the opening removed a small portion of brain tissue. A cat was simultaneous l>yoperated upon in the same manner, and the brain tissue of the oat and dog were interchanged. The openings were closed and treated. The dog made a good recovery from the opera tion. although he was very feeble for a few days ami had to be fed artificially. Subsequently he appeared normal in every way. except the loss of vision, lie was killed at the end of seven weeks, when the piece of transplanted cat's brain was found firmly adhered to the dog's brain, with the pia mater intact. "Now, the features of interest in , INT... v.q v.oocoV .... 1 tirst: There is complete union through organic connective tissue of the contiguous portions of the two brains: second, after seven weeks the eat's brain still maintained enough vitality to be distinctly recognized as brain tissue: third, brains of animals of two verv different spceies were thus made 1 r it i Ji _ I - A r io unue. i iiiuiK me luimi iaci 01 this experiment, namely, that the brain tissue has sufficient vitality to survive for seven weeks the operation of transplunation without wholly los i 1 its identity as brain substance, suggests an interesting held for further research, and 1 have no doubt that other experimenters will be re warded by investigating it -New \ <>rk Star.

He referred to Col. .Joseph Uarnwell's speech and other demonstrations asemhodying threats of assassination as a means to prevent him from being Governor. This brought about an exciting colloquy between him and Gen. Faille, which led up to "the episode with Mr. Hughson. The speeches of Gens.
