I became weak, nervous, wa unable to look after my interests, and manifested all the symptoms of a dv cline. I took three bottles of Ayer' Sarsaparilla, began to improve at once, THEA. P. ASSOCIATION. and gradually increased my weight from one hundred and twenty -rive to two huudred pounds. Since then, I and my family have used this medicine when needed, and we are all in the best of health, a fact which we attribute to Ayer's. Sarsaparilla.

A. haa for the past few years been mere or leas of a factor in municipal and State elections, especially in the former, and if there be any truth in the reports of its growing strength, it is becoming more so, and promises to become a potent factor in na tional politics. It professes to be non-partisan, and is to the extent that it does not nominate candi dates for office, although it doubt less manipulates and in as far as it can make its power felt in con ventions. Its strength lies in the is fact that it is a secret organiza tion, works under cover, and casts its vote solidly for the party and candidates that are nearest in ac cord with it. The Dart it has taken in elections for the past few years will ao far to account for the revolution in some States which were decidedly Democratic, and for the capture by the Repub licans of cities which have been regarded as impregnably Demo cratic. Heretofore it has co-oper ated with the Republican party and shown itself to be simply a Republican annex. Essentially it is the old Know Nothing party resuscited, its main purpose being opposition to foreigners and Cath olics, 'although it claims that it is not religiously prosoriptive and is simply opposed to the recognition of sectarianism bv municiDal.

Wasuixoton, Feb. 22 (Special) The conference- to save the State" warheld last night accord ing to advices duly wired the Newi and Observer. There were present Ed. Chambers Smith, It. H. Pee bles, W. A. Guthrie, Congressman Shuford, Senator Butler, and Dr. Mott. Capt. Peebles told me this morn ing that it was high time that something was being don, and Ed. ChamWrs Smith said if any body could propose anything bet ter than this new fusion, let him do it, or forever hold his peace. The interesting rumor now de velops that it was at Butler's in vitation that these gentlemen as sembled here. Butler having cut loose so radically from all gold men, and Mott not being able to deliver the Republicans, the old fusion with the gold bugs seemed to be taking the shape of an im possibility, so that something had to be done. Thus Mr. Uutler pick ed out Mr. Smith as the patriot who would be willing to meet him half way. Capt. Peebles said the utmost hfrmony prevailed at the raeetiug, but was uuwilliug tn tell the de tails ol the plan mapped out. From another trustworthy source, how ever, 1 am informed that, by the agreement involved in it, if not en tirely reached in the conference, the Democrats are to have the Govern or, the Secretary of the State and the Attorney General ; the Popi lists keepiug Worth as Treasurer, and getting the next Senator; the egislature to be divided out to the Democrats aud Populists in pro portion to their representative forces. Today's Washington Post, under a -display head, says: ''There is a movement uu foot among leading Democrats of North Carolina which, if carried to a successful consummation, will mightily affect the political desti nies of that State aud completely revolutionize existing conditions. The plan, in brief, is to break up and destrov the present alliance between the Republicans and Pop ulists that took away in 1S94 the political supremacy which the Democrats had enjoyed for nearly a quarter of a century. The plau projected now is to bring back the Populists into the Democratic camp, and to receive them, not ex actly on the basis of a returned prodigal sou, but on an equality, as brethren unite after a neriod of brief estrangements. ''The common meeting ground is to be silver free and uulimited coinage of tho white metal at the ratio of 16 to 1, with the further understanding that Anglo-Saxon supremacy is necessary and must be preserved in the old North State.

The game is, of course, to count all those who vote for bi-metallism as for the free and unlimited coinago of silver.
