a change at this time would be ben-1
eficial to the ciizens of the district

questions affecting the interest and
welfare of State and Nation, is fully
abreast of the times; his strong sense
ot right and justice, with his clear
and forcible manner of stating a pro-
position, eminently fits him to be
the champion of the people. He is
thorougly in touch and accord wth
uie Adinimsirauon in n lomgu as
well as domestic policy, and in this
respect fully represents the sentl-

Major Mahon is rated with the
strong men ot the House and his re
turn would BtHI further increase his
efficiency. One ot the Major's
strong pciinls with his constituents is
that he is from the ranks of the ico
ple, and is oneol (lie people he was
not born with a silver spoon in his
mouth, hut owes his success in lite
to the indomitable will and energy.
From our knowledge of our people
and the expressions we have heard
from all sections of our county, we
have no hesitancy in saying that Sny
der county will endorse Major Ma
hon for the 57th Congress.
The Hishonest Ballot.
If only the half is true that is
published in the Philadelphia papers,
that city is weighted down with
loads of corruption. Ballot reform
is badly needed in that city. When
a system of voting is so basely pros-
tttllted that the will ot a people is

Deafness Cannot bs.Curod-
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
liniug of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a ruuibliutr sound or iui perfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, heariiig will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an iullamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give ONE HUNDRED
DOLL A ItS for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
