A MAN OF APPEALS.
Soon after the train left Louisville Junction
the conductor came to a passenger in
our coach who had no ticket. He didn't
claim to havo-lost it, but leaned back, looked
the officer square in the eye and said:
"I'm dead broke and have a hundred
miles to go."
"You must pay or get off," was the reply.
"Oh, certainly. I know the rules of the
road by heart. I am now about to appeal to
the generosity of the man in the next seat."
He appealed. He said he was an unfortu
nate man who had failed to strike a job in
Louisville and wanted to get back home to
starve to death with his family. It was a
vain appeal. The man said he was in the
same box himself, but was going to kill his
family instead of waiting for hunger to do
the work."
"Come?you mustJpay," said th^aenduc"Oh,
of course, Jrfut I wjji^iow appeal to
the passengers eiynxassar
He rose upanflmirae a little speech full of
pathos, misfor?ftTe7hunger, cold, and several
other unpleasant ingredients, but nobody
seemea inieresieu.
"I can't fool with you no longer," remarked
the conductor. "I'll stop the train and
off you go."
"Hold on just a minute, I am now about
to appeal to you personally."
For five minutes he flung his soul into a
grand effort to melt the conductor. He
quoted the Bible, eulogized charity and appealed
to humanity, but when he had finished
the conductor reached up for the cord
and said:
"I must obey the rules or lose my place."
"Say, lemme appeal once more."
"No?can't do ft."
The train stopped and the man bowed
good-bye to everybody and got off. Nine
miles up the road, where we stopped at a
station, there was a rumpus outsiae about
something, and directly the man of appeals
was hauled out from under a coach, where
he had been riding on the trucks. He was
dirt and slush and mud from head to foot,
and the conductor looked at him and said :
"Now you want to quit this business or
I'll turn you over to the first constable !
You look as if a mule had dragged you
twenty miles."
"Exactly, but I couldn't give it up without
one more appeal."
The platforms were crowded and he flung
down his hatand began his appeal. In three
minutes the passengers had thrown him $12
in cash, and when the train moved on the
conductor slipped him into the baggage car
as a dead-head.?Detroit Free Prexs.

"Did the dog bite you ?" asked the magistrate.
"No, he vos pite my poy Fritz, who vos
? playing in de yard, und de dog chase him
out and bit dfe seat from the poy's bants."
"Then the boy wasn't bit at all."
"No, only de bants."
"Then there is no danger of hydrophobia,"
said the Judge.
"But he pehafes so funny since," continued
the anxious mother. "He can't bear
the sight of vater, and he von't drink noding
else but soda vater, root peer and such
dings, und ice cream and cake he eats all
day long."
"I know lots of little boys that would try
to become insane if they knew that they
would be fed on ice cream, cake and soda
water," said the Judge, smilingly.
"Maype ven I get a doctor," said the woman.
"Now, don't do that," said the Judge, interrupting.
"The only medicine he needs
is taking him across the knees and giving
him a strapping whenever he won't do as
he is told."
"Vos you sure he was not grazy ?" anxiously
inquired the mother.
"I am positive he is playing you for all
you are worth."
"Oh! Fritz, Fritz, vait till I come

for the door.

himself out. She saw this and resolved on
a policy of encouragement.
"Do you believe these stories in the funny
papers," she asked, "about the willingness
of young ladies to be kissed?"
"I?I really can't say," he replied. "They
may be true." Then gathering courage, he
added. "I hope they are true" and drew
closer to her.
"It seems to me," she said, "that there is
only one way in which a young man can
discover whether they are true or not."
"And what is that ?" he asked.
There was a brief pause. Then with a
far-a-way look in her eyes, she answered:
"By experimenting when he has the opportunity."

The following is the address of the committee
which notified Governor Cleveland
of his nomination for the Presidency, adopted
at the meeting of the committee in New
York City, July 28th, and presented to the
Governor the next day, at Albany: i
To Hon. Grover Cleveland, of New York:
Sir: In accordance with the custom befitting
the nature of the communication the undersigned,
representing the several States and
Territories of the Union, were appointed a
committee by the National Democratic convention,
which assembled at Chicago on the
8th day of the current month, to perform
the pleasing office, which by this means we
have the honor to execute, of informing you
of your nomination as the candidate of the
Democratic party, in the ensuing election,
for the office of President of the United
States.
The declaration of principles upon which
the Democracy go before tne people with
the hope of establishing and maintaining
mem m gyveniiueui, WM lunuc uj wuvention,
and an engrossed copy thereof is
submitted, in connection with this communication,
for your consideration. We trust

and policy and upon the political controversy
now made up, we invite your acceptance
to the exalted leadership to which you have
been chosen.
The election of a President is an event of
the utmost importance to the people of
America. The prosperity, growth, happiness,
peace and liberty even may depend

secure these great objects. We assure you
that in the responsibilities you must assume
as candidate you will have the steadfast,
cordial support of the friends of the
cause you will represent, and in the execution
of the duties of the high office which
we confidentially expect from the wisdom
of the nation to be conferred upon you.
You may securely rely for approving aid
upon the patriotism, honor and intelligence
of this free people.
(Signed by the membersof the committee.)
GOVERNOR CLEVELAND'S REPLY.
Governor Cleveland, who' stood meanwhile
as an intent listener, replied as follows
: I
Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen of the
Committee: Your formal announcement
does not, of course, convey to me the first
information of the result of the convention
lately held by the Democrats of the nation,
and yet when, as I listen to your message,
I see about me the representatives from all
parts of the land of the great party which,
claiming to be the party of the people, asks
them to trust it with the administration of
their Government, and when I consider,
under the stern reality which the present
surroundings create, that I have been chos,
en to represent the plans, purposes and policy
of the Democratic party, I am profoundly
impressed by the solemnity of the occasion,
and by the responsibility of my position.
Though I gratefully appreciate it, I
do not, at this moment, congratulate myself
upon the distinguished honor which has
been conferred upon me, because my mind
is full of the anxious desire to perform well
the part which has been assigned to me;
nor do I at this moment, forget that the
rights and interests of more than fifty millions
of our fellow citizens are involved in
our efforts to gain Democratic supremacy.
This reflection presents to my mind the consideration
which more than all others gives
to the action of my party in convention assembled,
its most sober and serious aspect.
The party and its representatives which ask
to be entrusted, at the hands of the people,
with the keeping of all that concerns their
* " " & ' nclr

with lk full appreciation of the sacredness
of the trust and with the firm resolve to administer
it faithfully and well. 1 am a
Democrat because I believe this lies at the
foundation of true Democracy. I have
kept the faith because I believe if rightly
and fairly administered and applied,
Democratic doctrines and measures will insure
the happiness, contentment and prosperity
of the people. If in the contest upon
which we now enter, we steadfastly hold to
the underlying principles of our party
creed, and at all times keep in view the
people's good, we shall be strong, because
we are true to ourselves and because the
; plain and independent voters of the land
will seek, by their suffrages, to compass
their release from petty tyranny to where
there should be submission to the popular
, will and protection from party corruption;
where there should be devotion to the people's
interests. These thoughts lend consecration
to our American cause and we go
forth not merely to gain a partisan advantage,
but pledged to give those who trust us
! the utmost benefits and the purest administration
of national affairs. No higher purpose
or motive can stimulate us to supreme
effort, or urge to continuous or earnest labor
and effective party organization. Let

hope to reap the full reward of patriotic services
well performed. I have thus called to
mind some simple truths and trite thought.
It seems to me, we do well to dwell upon
them. I shall soon, I hope, signify in the
usual formal manner my acceptance of the
nomination which has been tendered me.
In the meantime, I gladly greet you all as
co-workers in a noble cause."
THE INDIANA CHIEF.
GOV. HENDRICKS NOTIFIED.
On Wednesday, the 30th of July, the committee
proceeded to Saratoga, where Governor
Hendricks is spending the summer, to
officially notify him of his nomination for
the Vice-Presidency. The ceremony took
place in the parlor of the Grand Union Hotel.
The hour appointed for meeting Governor
Hendricks was 2 o'clock P. M.; but
long before the hour arrived for the ceremony
to take place the beautiful parlor of
the hotel was filled with handsomely dressed
ladies and gentlemen, seated in a circle
around the space reserved for the committee.
At 2.10 o'clock, amid loud applause
from the assembled guests, the committee
marched in and stood in a circle, followed
1 immediately after by Mr. Hendricks, who
took his position in the centre of the group.
Upon his arrival Chairman Vilas delivered
the following address:
Governor Thamas A. Henlcricks, of Indiana:
The great national council of the Constitutional
Democracy of the Union had at
Chicago within this month of July constituted
this committee now before you, by
selection from each of the several States and
I Territories of our country, and commissionj
ed it as the official voice of the party to
i florintft vnn. in fitting terms and with an
propriate ceremony, not only in testimony
I of its respect for your abilities and charac:
ter, but in pledge of its consideration for
j the interests of the nation, that you have
: been nominated by that party of the people,
J to be their Vice-President of the United
' States for the ensuing term of that exalted
trust. That honorable duty we havejour;
neyed hither from every part of this wide
I land with pride and pleasure in this manner
. | to discharge. The interesting circumstances
| of that nomination cannot be unknown to
,1 you, and could not be but gratifying to
the sensibilities of any right-minded man.
1 It was well understood in that Convention
| that such a distinction was won there un,
sought and undesired by you, yet sir, after
many others were presented, your name
j was suggested followed by repeated second
ing. hvery other name was withdrawn,
1 and amid universal acclaim the roll-call
| responded to your unanimous choice. Then
I in exquisite enthusiasm the Convention,
with the vast surrounded assemblage, joined
with cheer and hymn in a prolong|
ed outbreak of grateful satisfaction. Sir,
! though Indiana's favorite citizens may en!joy
with just pride peculiar honors in the
j distinguished services you have rendered
your party, your State and nation, and may
feel peculiar attachment for the endearing
' qualities of your heart and mind, be as!
sured that the Democracy of the nation par
ticipates in that sense of honor and affectionate
regard in hardly a less degree.
They witnessed your long and honorable
career, sometimes in the faithful performance
of high public trusts, sometimes nobly
contending as a soldier in the ranks for principles
and Consitutional liberty, but always
with firm devotion and unswerving fidelity
to the interests and rights of the people,
and now they confidently expect of your
patriotism to yield all professional wishes,
and undertake the labors of their candidate
as on their part the people can securely repose
upon the ripe experience of your years
and wisdom to most satisfactorily meet
all the responsibilities of the high office to
which you will be called. The Convention
felt, as the nation will approve, that it was
serving the spirit of the Constitution, when
it designated for Vice-President a citizen
worthy and competent to execute the highest
functions of the Chief Magistracy. It is
an especial desire of the Democracy, sir, to
see you invested with this particular dignity,
because they know as now all the world
knows, that once you were rightfully given
the title to it by the people and wrongfully
denied its possession by the successful machinations
or fraud and conspiracy, and the
vindication of exact justice will be most
complete when you may be re-elected now,
so that you may be triumphantly inaugurated
to your rightful chair of office. This
sentiment has given direction to the personrtl
ndmlitofiAn nf fhn I
ill UUUDlUtJlilllUli illiu uuiiiiiauvu \ji vnu jl^v
raocracy so abundantly manifested in the
recent Convention and will stir a responsive
throb in the hearts of all good men.
In finishing the grateful office which the
partial favor of these gentlemen, my distinguished
associates, has assigned rne, permit
us, one and all, to express the highest
esteem and regard. In more enduring execution
of its duty the Committee have prepared
and personally signed the written
communication which the secretary will now
read. At this point Mr. Bell, the Secretary,
read the following address:
New York State, July 23,1884.
To Hon. T. A. Hendricks, of Indiana:
Sir?The honor and pleasure of officially notifying
you of your nomination as the candidate
of the National Democracy in the
election aboutto occur for the office of VicePresident
of the United States, was, by the
Convention recently held at Chicago, conferred
upon the undersigned as a committee
of that body, designed to represent in our
persons these United Statesand Territories.
In the grateful performance of this duty we
j are entitled to express the admiration of the
Convention and of the party for your long
and well known personal qualities and character,
and for your distinguished public service
and maintenance of the principles and
objects which are believed best calculated
to promote the security, happiness and welfare
of the people, and an especial satisfaction
in the minds of all good men must follow
your election from the reflection that in
your person the testimony will be peculiarly
given that the American people are never
the conscious or willing instrument of that
great public crime by which, through fraudulent
returns and flagrant disregard of truth
and justice, others were seated in those high
offices to which Samuel J. Tilden and yourself
were rightfully chosen in 1876, as well
as of the patriotism of your great submission
in confident reliance upon the justice of
the people for your vindication. An engrossed
copy of the declaration of principles
and policy, made by the Convention, is submitted
with this communication for your
examination, and we may surely expect
your loyal devotion in the cause of our party
to accept the candidacy imposed by your
nomination..
(Signed by all the members of the committee.)
RESPONSE OF GOV. HENDRICKS.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee
: I cannot realize that a man should
ever stand in the presence of a committee
representing a more august body of men
than that which you represent. In the language
of another, "The convention was
large in numbers, august in culture and patriotic
in sentiment," and may I not add
that because of the power and greatness and
virtues of the party which it represented, it
was itself in every respect a very great Convention.
[Applause.] The delegates came
from all the States and Territories, and, I
believe, too, from the District of Columbia.
[Applause.] They came clothed with the
authority to express their judgment and
opinion upon all those questions which are
not settled by constitutional law, and for the
purpose of passing upon those questions,
and selecting a ticket for the people. That
Convention assembled. They decided upon
principles that they would adopt as tneir
platform. They selected the candidates that
they would propose to the party for their
support and that Convention's work was
theirs. I have not reached the period when
it is proper for me to consider the strength
and lorce of the statements made in the
platform. It is enough for me to know that
it comes at your hands from that Convention,
addressed to my patriotic devotion to
the Democratic party. [Applause.] I appreciate
the honor that is done me. I need
not question that, but at the same time that
I accept the honor from you and from that
Convention, I feel that the duties and responsibilities
of office rest upon me also. I
know that sometimes it is understood that
this particular office?that of Vice-President?does
not involve any responsibility,
and as a general thing that is so, but sometimes
it comes to represent very great responsibilities,
and it may be so in the near
future, for at this time the Senate of the
United States stands almost equally divided
by the two great parties, and it maybe that
these two great parties shall so exactly dif
fer that the Vice-President of the United
States shall have to decide upon questions of
law by the exercise of his casting vote.
[Applause.] The responsibility would then
become very great. It would not then be
the responsibility of representing a State or
a district; it would be the responsibility of
representing the whole country, and the obligation
would be to cast the judgment of
the whole country, and that vote, when thus
cast, should be in obedience to the just expectations
andrequirementsof the people of
the United States. It might be, gentlemen, j
that upon another occasion, responsibility
would attach to this office. It might occur
that under circumstances of some difficulty?
I don't think it will be in the next election?but
it may occur under circumstances
of some difficulty, the President of the Senate
will have to take his part in the counting
of the electoral vote, and allow me to
say that that duty is not to be discharged in
obedience to any set of men or to any party,
but in obedience to higher authority. [Applause.]
Gentlemen, you have referred to
the fact that I am honored by this nomination
in a very special degree. I accept the
suggestion that in this candidacy I will represent
the right of the people to choose their
own rulers?that right that is above all,
that lies beneath all, for if the people are denied
the right to choose their own officers,
according to theirown judgment, what shall
become of the rights of the people at all;
what shall become of free government, if
the people select not their officers and control
the laws, their administration and their
execution? So that in suggesting that in
this candidacy I represent that right of the
people, as you have suggested, a great honor
has devolved upon me by the confidence of
the Convention. As soon as it may be convenient
and possible to do so, I will address
you more formally in respect to the letter
you have given me. I thank you, gentlemen.
[Applause.]
At the close of Mr. Hendricks' remarks,
a hearty applause was given, and he was introduced
to each member of the Committee,
and a general hand-shaking followed, after
which the assembled audience paid their
respects to Mr. Hendricks and then quietly
dispersed. The audience was composed of
very prominent people.

votes for Cleveland against Folger, and at

is now the recognized leader in the battle
for the plumed knight, but it can not prevent

Cleveland is the best man, from supporting j

ML J. BMDFttU'S
FEMALE REGULATOR
This famous remedy most happily meets the do
mand of the ago for woman's peculiar and multiform
afflictions. It is a remedy for WOMAN ONLY, and
forONE SPECIAL CLASS of her diseases. It is a
specific for certain diseased conditions of the womb,
and proposes to so control the Menstrual Function
as to regulate all the derangements and irregularities
of Woman'B
MONTHLY SICKNESS.
Its proprietor claims for it no other medical property;
and to doubt the fact that this medicine does positively
possess such controlling and regulating powers
Is simply to discredit the voluntary testimony of
thousands of living witnesaeo who are to-day exalting
In their restoration to sound health and happiness.
gBADFIELD'S ptiKALE pEGULATOK
Is strictly a vegetable compound, and is the product
of medical science and practical experience directed
towards the benefit of
SUFFERING WOMAN !
la is tho studied prescription of a learned physician
whose specialty was WOMAN, and whoso fame became
enviable and boundless because of his wonderful
success in the treatment and cure of femalo complaints.
THE REGULATOR is the GRANDEST
REMEDY known, and richly deserves its name:
WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND,
Because it controls a class of functions the various
derangements of which cause more ill health than
all other causes combined, and thus rescues her from
a lonp, train of afflictions which sorely embitter her
life, and prematurely end her existence.
Ohl what a multitude of living witnesses can testify
to its charming effects.

SPRING
Is the season in whiclf bad or poisoned blood is
most apt to show itself. Nature, at this juncture,
needs something to assist it in throwing on the
impurities which have collected by the sluggish
circulation of the blood during the cold winter
months. Swift's Specific is nature's great helper,
as it is a purely vegetable alterative and tonic.
Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga., writes: "We
have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans'
home as a remedy for blood complaints, and as a
general health tonic, and have had remarkablo
results from its use on the children and employees
of the institution. It is such an excellent
tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system
is less liable to disease. It has cured some
of our children of Scrofula."
W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albahy, Ga., writes:
"We are selling large quantities of Swift's Specific
for a spring alterative and general health
tonic, and with the best results. It is now largelv
used as a preventive and cure for Malaria,
'there are many remarkable evidences of its
merit in this section. .
The Great Drug House of Chicago.
We do not hesitate to say that for a year past
we have sold more of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.)
than all other Blood Purifiers combined, and
with most astonishing results. One gentleman
who used a half dozen bottles says it did him
more good than treatment which cost him
?1,000. Another who has used it for a Scrofulous
affection reports a permanent cure from its
use. VON SHAACK, STEVENSON A CO.

bed six weeks with Mercurial Rheumatism has
