OF ALL DRUGGISTS. Remarkable Cure Catarrh MARYLAND'S POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. ‘The Public Demonstrations Crewded Into One Week. LITTLE ENTHUSIASM DISPLAYED, FOR A DEMO- ‘CRATIC VICTORY ON THE STATE TICKET WAS GEN- ERALLY CONCEDED—A BRISK FIGHT OVER THE ATTORNEY GENERALSHIP—A CLOSE CONTEST IX BALTINORE. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. Baxtiwong; October 30, 1891. All the work of the campaign, so far as meet- ings and outward demonstrations go, has been crowded into the present week. Of course the fine work, or most of it—the work that aceom- plishes results and practically settles majori- ties—has been done. Both sides have been hold- ing two and three meetings every night and ex- the usual means to keep enthusiasm up to the proper pitch. But in spite of all efforts it has not been o campaign of enthusiasm and hurrah. This is largely the case because no one doubts the election of the entire democratic state ticket, ‘and even in Baltimore city, where the situatior is more interesting because of the combined oppositio: republicans and independent Gomoerats, tis nat un opposition with the old time vigor which the regular organization has had to contend against in past campaigns. INDEPENDENT STILL HUNT The independents are making more of a still hunt this time and their tactics contrast strangely with those which they have hereto- fore adopted. Their campaign as to men and methods is essentially x different one. The great leaders who, night after night, through campaign after campaign, have stood before immense audiences and hurled their anathe- i the democratic managers THE COMING RIFLE MATCHES, A Matter of Great Interest Among Members of the District National Guard. But one thing is being talked of among the National Guardsmen of the city, and that is the big “shoot” which takes place next week. The program is an inviting one and the entries are tumbling in atagreat rate. The last entry must be in by 5 o'clock this afternéon or it will be of no value. Everybody has had ample time in which to. make up hie mind whether he ought or ought not to compete. So if any would-be competitor is shut out it will be his own fault. One of the strange things in con- nection with the entries iw the fact that: nearly overy eompetitor has neglected to do the one thing which any one might reasonably suppose entries the certificate of his captain or inspector of rifle rssties Shat he has qualified as marke; man or jooter. is is necessary in entries except those for the merchants’ match. The statement made by some of the competi- tors—that they “believe” they have qualified— could hardly be accepted as official. Most of those who have made entries refrained entirely from reference to that which undoubtedly is 9 desideratum. ‘The adjutant general could not Teceivo the statement of @ competitor as to his own ecores sniess that competitor happened to be an officer empowered to certify to scores. Intending competitors, it is stated at head- quarters, must be careful that anxiety to win results not in unaithorized practices. The service rifle, the service sights and service ammunition (the latter to be straight factory goods), issued at the firing point, are to be used by each contestant and nothing but perfectly square’competitions will be permitted. Any competitor caught ouae. reloaded ammunition will undoubtedly be ruled off the range, and should there be sueh an occurrence the wrong- doer or wrongdoers can safely bet that charges will be preferred, John ren, Charies éx-Congressman diay, Charles J. Bonaparte and many others like them, giants in the political arena, though still in sympathy with the independent movement, have raised neither hand nor voice in its Je- fense. Only a handful of the younger men who trained under these leaders are doing the work and nearly all of them are candidates for office. ‘These are: 8. Davis Warfield, the can- didate for mayor; Wm. L. Marbury, candidate for state’s attorney; Daniel Miller,’ candidate for the state senate, and Wm. Cabell Bruce. Mr. Warfield ise'son of Henry M Warfield, who sixteen years ago, in 1875, led the first re- form movenient as the candidate for, mayor against Gen. F. C. Latrobe, who is now the democratic opponent of the son and for the sixth time the party nominee for the office. DEMOCRATS UNEASY ABOUT KERR'S PROSPECTS. The only man for whcm the democrats have any alarm on their ticket is Charles G. Kerr, the candidate for state's attorney. He hase desperate fight on hand, but will probably be elected. A novel com ‘ion is the attitude of the Methodist and Baptist preachers toward Keer, but particularly the former. Both de- tions denounced him at their weekly Preachers’ meeting. and the Methodist preach- €rs passed @ resolution binding every one of them to preach against him in their palpity on Sunday. One of them, Kev. C. Herbert Kich- ardson, who was for some time stationed in Washington, has already preached a sermon against him. ‘The ground of their bitter oppo- sition to Kerr is because he has nolle prossed a number of cases that have come up in the criminal conrt for gambling and violat the Sunday liquor law since he has been filling the office. - Mr. Richardson, before he entered the min- istry, was a lawyer and at one time the repub- lican deputy state's attorney for Baltimore city under the late George C. Maund. Mr. Kerr hunted up his record and replied to his stric- tures through the newspapers, showing a large number of similar cases nolle prossed by Mr. Richardson when in office. ‘The Methodist and Baptist preachers have for some time been de- manding a stricter observance of these laws and their practical entrance into politics. This war 1s the outcome of these efforts. It is difii- cult to measure the effect of this new factor. It is without doubt far-reaching influence, and, whileit may not be suflicient to defeat Kerr, makes the situation a very serious one for him and will cut bis majority far below that of the rest of the ticket. It is very probable that he will only be saved from defeat by the republican votes that he will get, for the indi- cations are that he will receive s larger propor- ASTHMA STATEMENT OF THE REV. JACOB D. WILSON OF 737 SIXTH STREET 8.E., Pastor of Independent Methodist Chureb. TO THE PUBLIC: During my service in our late war I con- tracted catarrh in my head and throat, which later on developed into asthma in its most serious form. When the paroxysms were upon me the distressing cough and ceaseless gasping for breath, nearly amounting to suffocation, caused the greatest of suffering—almost tuo much to bear. Sleep at such times was impos- sible, and the slightest exertion greatly aggra- vated these distressing symptoms. In spite of all my efforts for relief the asthma continued ‘and even increased in severity until by advice tion of that vote than Marbury, notwithstand- ing the latter is the nominee of both the repub- licans and independents. If the republi keep faith with allies at tion give their actual support to the democrats the combination it will be the first time they have ever done so in any similar case. THE POWER OF THE OFFICE The power of the state attorney's office is far reaching. From a partisan standpoint it is most patent political factor. It wields an influence that no other public office can attain. Any one who considers tue question at all must realize this. Some veteran democrats say that Kerr will run close along with the rest of the ticket. Latrobe will get a large republican vote, and his more enthusiastic friends predict for him a majority of 6,000. Others place it as law as 3,000. democrats have no fear of losing their legislative ticket in the first and second districts, though the independents bave & strong ticket im the second district and the usual democratic majority may be reduced. The third district, which elected a solid repub- hean delegation ‘to the last legislature, will robably be carried by the democrats this year. No one denies that a great many democratic votes will be cast for Warfield and Marbury. BOLTING THE MAYORALTY CANDIDATES. It will probably prove true that more demo- crats will vote for Warfield for mayor than voted for Major Alexander Shaw, the fusion candidate, two years ago. On the other hand, of friends I applied to Dr. Lighthill of this eity. His careful and thorough examination and ihvestigation of my case inspired me with contidence and I placed myself under his care, and within three months’ time he effected » complete cure of my catarrh and asthma, My cough is gone, I can breathe ax freely asany one, sleep soundly and feel perfectly well This great success in my case seemsalmost a miracle. Im addition to the above I would also mention that I am short of stature and weighed over 200 pounds, with a tendeney toward apoplesy. To avoid this danger Dr. Lighthill decided to re- duee my weight, and during the above period a reduction of over thirty pounds was effected, to my great delight and comfort. Ieannot praise Dr. Lighthill too highly for his careful atten- tion and skillful treatment of my ease. With profound gratitude to the Almighty and with prayers for blessings upon Dr. Light- bill, I make this public statement, hoping that similar sufferers will profit by it. I would be pleased to see any one interested desiring fur- ther information. JACUB D. WILSON. Wasarxatos, April 16, 1891. ‘Threat, Langs and Heart at his residence, 1411 K ST. N. W. Hours from 8 to 12 and 4 to 6. Gen. Latrobe will get many more republican vots than did Mr. Davidson, the present mayor, who defeated Shaw. The size of La- trobe’s majority will depend toa great extent upon the republicans who stay away from the polls. If the full republican vote were polled lor Warfield and Marbury, one, if not both of them, would be elected. But it will not. The republican organization is rope of sand in most of the wards. Rival factions are ready today as ever to trade off candidates, or knife them. No man among them has yet developed capacity for leadership that rises above fac- tion. ‘This year there was an excellent opportunity for such a man to come to the front but he did not mate! On the other hand the demo- cratic organization is unquestionably one of the finest in the country. ‘Indeed, it may be safely called the best. Beginning with Senator Gorman, it is well generaled and the staff offi- cersare skilled veterans. Behind this is pa- fronage in which 10,000 voters are more or less interested. Say that today there 2,500 men on the municipal pay rolis, each one of whom can influence at least three others, a father and ‘one or more brothers, and it is easy to realize that it is no fun to overcome a party which hus all this and a popular prestige as well at its back. As for the independent democrats, how. ever, men may differ with them; it must be ad- mitted by all that they area “game” lot of ‘oung fellows, especially men like Warfield and Marbury, who bave been fighting this powerful organization year after year without giving or asking quarter, knocked out again and again, only to come up to the scratch again smiling as ever and ridiculing the idea of ever throwing up the sponge. “WORKING” THE INDEPENDENTS. Whenever the independents go into a cam- paign the impression that they have some money to spend attracts other headquarters individuals woo make « business of “working” the leaders. The democrats, being old hands com inex] ce pendents has frequently made them an easy prey for such crooks. Two years ago they were 5 out of a great deal of money in this way, and the beneficiaries went it to the democratic headquarters and exhibiting their cash invited all hands out toenjoyit. This year similar efforts have been mace with democrats and independents, but without the usual success. Each party has nts watching the ‘and there is very little that goes on at the headquarters of ove that is not known at bee ‘There will have to be one or two important changes in the program. Tae EvExixo Star, Sunday Herald, Senatorial and Tappan matches will go right along, but some new arrangement is to be made as tb the gold medal donated by Mr. John H. Magruder. John W. Boteler & Son have given a Rogers’ group of statuary and it may be that this contribution will made one of the prizes in the same match as the Magruder medal. Whatever changes are made, however, there will be no necessity for amending the entries, More men are probably interested in the merchants’ match than in any other. ‘here will be twenty or more prizes. G. Warfield Simpson gives of clothes to order, either business or full dress; Capt. Thos. D. Singleton Proposes to contribute something beautiful in the furniture line; I.

R., a secret society, stirred up a lively acene at the closing sevsion of the conference. He peti- tioned for permission to make an explanatory statement, and was suppressed by Presi- dent Wardner, whoruled that Riley was nat a member of ‘the conference in standing and therefore did not enjoy even the right of petition. Riley was present and took the floor without permission and demanded a hearing. Some of the brethren wanted to hear what he had to say, but the majority did not, and an uproar followed, with a dozen on the floor at one time, all trying to talk. The president deputized a sorgeant-at-arms to remove Brother Riley, forcibly if necessary, from the church. Riley then succumbed and the assembly united in singing the doxology.
