By order of tho Stnto Committer. M. S. Quay, Attest :JnRH J. Hkx, Chairman. "NT. R. ANimnws, Secretaries. A stkadv, healthy growth In tho Hi:n alb's elreulitlioti fully attests tlio paper's popularity. Ir Fitzsimmons' blow had himlod on Corhelt's jaw, instead of Maher's, how much less talking tho gentlemanly .Tames would he doing now. Tin; fight for national delegate below the mountain is becoming interesting, and tho knowing ones say something will drop in and around l'otUvlllc nnd Mlncrsvillc shortly. Srkatou Quay possesses tho confidence of Itepublicans. His Itepublicanisin is of tho stalwart brand, nnd the people know that if elected President thcro will bo no "object lessons." Tin: citizens of South Dakota have an original ami elfectivo way of suppressing an obnoxious newspaper. Instead nt piling up libel suits and forcing tho editor into bank ruptcy, they bought out the paper and made abonllro of everything connected with it, and the editor left tho town. Tin: man who is small enough to engineer a job to knock out a 'Sqniro independent enough to refuse to wear a collar, is not the size of statesman tho Republicans of Schuyl kill are willing to follow. This fact lias been made known already, but will bo signed, sealed, nnd delivered finally by the time Thanksgiving day arrives. Tnu old tradition that to eat anything just before going to bed is sure to pro duce indigojtiun and render sleep im possible is now happily exploded. It is not good, as a matter of fact, to go to bed witli tho stomach so loaded that tho undigested food will lender ono restless, but something of a light, palatable nature in the stomach is ono of tho best aids to quietude and rest. Some physicians have declared, indeed, that a good deal of the prevalent iiiMimuia is the result of an un conscious craving of the stomach for food. A glass of hot milk is grateful to tho palate tlieso nights, or a good ripe apple, but a light, well-cooked gruel is better, and in our climato, during tho cold months of winter, should bo tho retiring food of ovoryono who feels tho need of food at night. , .THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION. Now that tho spring clectioiisare over, aud tho leaders of both political parties havo counted the dead and wounded, the poli ticians aro turning their attention to a broader field, that of the formation of the county ticket to be elected next fall. So far as tho licpublicans aro concerned, tho ques tion as to the successor of Congressman Charles N. llruiiim appears to overshadow all other nominations in point of interest, not withstanding tho fact that there is n long list of county oflicos to be filled this fall. Shenandoah licpublicans havo always givon Mr. llriimm loyal support whenever ho lias asked tho suflrngo of the,. 'people ami that has boon quite often, rather too much so even for ills Intimate political friends, and they will ask him to take 11 back seat this time. Ho boars the samo relation, in tills respect, to tho Kepubllean party that James li. Ilollly does to tho Democracy. Tho as sertion is being openly mndo that defeat is in storo for the party this fall with llriimm as n candidate, nnd wo believe that tho party mnnagors should wisely accede to the de maud for the nomination of some one else for Congress. Not content with a renoiuinutiou, Mr. llrunim wants to go to St. Louis 11s a national delegate. There are too many active and worthy workers in tho ranks to allow ono man to monopolize all tho plums lyiug around. It is quite natural that tho Democratic papers should wisli to see Mr. llrumm remive a re-nomination, but fortunately tho Itepuhlioaus aro not accustomed to seeking advico from that source It might bo well to inform tho editor of the Pottavlllo Chronicle who is "generally muddled on matters political that ho is shooting wide of the murk to fur as tho candidacy of It. K, Deugler is concerned. Tho lattor gentleman is a full-fledged eandldato to succeed Con gressman llrumm, mid 110 minor position will satisfy either his friends or himself. No doubt there are gome pwplo who would liko to hollevo tho twaddlo dlshod up by the C'lironiolo, but tlioy will find oro long that their desires in this respect will not bo Toallzed. It wns, only after repeated and earnest solicitation on tho part of many of tho prominent loadors of tho party, who fully rcalizo tho necessity of injecting now blood Into tho canvass this full, that Mr. Denglor finally consented to allow the use of his name in this connection. ! Mr.Dengler is now a candidate for Congress, and ho is not liackward in making the fart known. His candidacy 1ms mot with much favor at the hands of tho party loiuleis and press, and this section of the county, includ ing Shenandoah, will rally to his support. Local pride will crystalizo public sentiment in liis favor. Tho Chronicle intimates that Senator Coylo hasaknlfoup his sleove for Mr. Dcnglcr. Tho peoplo of Shenandoah have heard this kind of talk from the sstno source boforo, nnd havo successfully met it. Notwith standing Coylo's opposition, wo venture tho assertion that tho Senator's own town will send a majority of its delegates to the convention pledged to support Denglor for Congress. From now on until tho convention assem bles, tilings will ho mighty lively in this neck of tho woods. Tho lllscoiory Saved Ills r.lfe. Mr. G. Caillnuette, Druggist, Donversville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life.
