Correspondence of the Visitor. t
The runners are out working for
tickets In favor of certain men for
Mayor and at the same time to keep
tu "moss backs" in office.
When the said runners approach '
you to get you to promise to ote for
certain A ldermen.if you will carefully
study tbe matter you will find one of
the following state of facts to exist:
1. He is a "moss back," or related to
n a 111. ..
one. 55. we noius a position or pi ace ,
under the city controlled bytheAl-j
dermen, or he has been promised one. j
He has been - hired by the i
gtng to work in their interest
If jou.flnd u; on investigation
either of the above state or lacts to
exist, drop his advice as you would a ,
hot poker. , I
fhe only safety we have against
combines is to select an entirely new
ticket for Adlermen in the approach
ing election who are free from sus
picion of combinery, and this can be
done if the Democratic tax payers 1
will turn out to the primaries, and
see that they are not packed with Re
publicans and men who do not live in
the wards, as was the case two years
ago in one of our largest wards.
Let us by all means elect men with
their hands untied, and then if those
in office are better qualified and bet
ter entitled to the office than those
who may apply for it, they can re
tain them on their qualifications; but
by all means don't stand by and see
them put up this combine on our
city again as has been done for the
last sixteen years.
Any one who is familiar with the
changes in our charter, by which the
representation in the board from the
1st, 3rd and 6th wards has been
effected by the demands of the demo
crats of the 1st and 5th wards two
years ago, can easily see that the con
trolling power in our city affairs has
been changed from our floating popu
lation and put in the hands of the
bona fide voters and tax payers of the
city, and if they sit still and see the
old system perpetuated they have
nobody to blame but themselves.
Heretofore they could not help them
selves. Now they can. Will they do
it? Democrat.
Payne the Infidel.
Correspondent Richmond Dispatch.
If J. D. Rensburg, who eulogized
Tom Payne, the infidel, and who en
deavored to make him out such a
moral man, would read the life of
Grant Thornburne, of New York, as
written by himself in 1834, he would
then find that Payne was proved to
be a drunkard, a liar, a libertine, and
died a most horrible death. Thor
burne was told by the physician who
attended him that during Payne's
last sickness, when in great pain and
fear, he would call for help upon the
Lord Jesus, but as soon as the pain
left him he denounced the Saviour.
Thorburne also quotes from Clint-
ham's life of Payne printed in 1809 the
correspondence between Payne and
William Caron, at whose house Payne
boarded, and who knew the inside
life of the infidel.
He then testified to his immoral
character and proved that Ptyne had
enticed a French woman and her
three children to leave her husband
and come to New York, where they
lived together. Caron also testified
that what was attributed to fits of
apoplexy was nothing but drunken
ness, which Payne was addicted to
Payne was fif thy both in mind and
body, and it is too late in the day
now to try to make his memory pure.
The book referred to should he re
printed for the benefit of those who
sympathize with Rensburg in his
laudations of one of the worst ene
mies to civilizations and purity that
ever lived. Yours truly,
E. 0. Meade.

Four Good Things.
Dr. King's Royai, Germktter (lifters from
ordinary medicines in four very iiniortant
things:
1. It does not taste like medicine. It is
as pleasant as lemonade, and, sweetened.
makes a most refreshing drink. Persons who
object to all other medicines take this with
real pleasure, because it is good.
2. It never nauseates. The most delicate
stomach finds in this a perfect remedy with-
uui u single uujecuon.
6. IT NEVER SWArs OFF ONE DISEASE FOR
another. It does not set uu one form of dis
ease in order to relieve another, as is the case
wiui so many aeauiy drugs.
4. It does not patch simply. It cures.
It reaches, as nothing else does, to the hid
den sources of disease in the blood, and re
moves me cause, it noes this with an ease
and power that have never been equaled.
Nature, in her secret laboratories, has
never produced a finer chemical compound,
nor imparted to one such matchless gifts of
healing. It is absolutely without a rival or a
peer in its superb mastery of disease. It is
truly, as Henry W. Grady said of it, "the
ultima thule of medicines."
