"THE QUEEN OF Tonic, Restorative, FIGHTING HARRIS AND BOSSES. The Interesting Stato of Affair in the Fourth Cooeressional District A Split in the Democracy Possible Rival Candidates. Special Correspondence of The Times. Flemington, August 26. Henry S.

Harris, of Warreu county, was the first Congressman to be renominated whose vote was recorded in favor of the river and harbor steal. For that reason the convention that placed him again in the field and his chances for success are attracting great attention. The Fourth New Jersey district finds itself unenvi ably famous. Its previous history has not been particularly savory. The Warren county ring stcrs belong to it and so do the Somerset ceunty public thieves.

Hunterdon county was spared damaging disclosures respecting its internal management a few years ago by the merest accident, and Sussex county had some of its officials placed nndor the ban for awhile. And now comes young Mr. Harris aud his vote to add to it all. That is the dark side of the picture. On the other hand, the people of the district are bestirring themselves as never before, and the defeat of the present Congressional incumbent seems almost certain.

The manly attitude of the Hunterdon Democrat, of this town, the most reputable journal, probably, among the Democratic newspapers of the district, followed by the Warren Democrat, hitherto Harris' home organ, have shaken things up in the liveliest kind of a way. THE CONVENTION AT NEWTON. The convention that nominated Harris at Newton a week ago was a curious one. There were many of the more respectable Democrats of the district in attendance as delegates. They felt that it would not do to put Harris before tho people.

They went to the convention determined to oppose him. When they arrived they found tc opposition already organized. At its head were Strader and Cornish, the ring sters whom Harris had incarcerated in the State Prison when ho was Prosecutor of the Pleas in Warren. Associated with them were Silverthorn, who ought to have joined his comrades; Boss Pidcock, of Hunterdon, who has made Democratic caucuses hereabouts marts for the sale of votes, and AlvaU A. Clark of Somerset, who was sent to Congress, before Harris, but who neglected his seat and his duties to defend Itingsters Cory and Jones.

They had united upon Martin Wyckoff, a rural lawyer of Asbury, as their candidate. Wyckoff is a mediocre man, naturally honest, but easily influenced. To have nominated him would have been to nominate the puppet of the most corrupt bosses Jersey has ever known. So, out of pure self defense and on the principle that it were better to choose the lesser of two evils, Harris was pushed through. WHAT THE CAMPAIGN MAT BE.

What is to be done now Cornish, Pidcock and company are defeated, but Harris is not. He must go down. There arc two courses open to tho Democracy. They can nominate a good, reputable partisan and run him as an Independent, or they can unite with tho Republicans. The first course is believed by the wiser headed ones to be the better.

If a good man is nominated soon tho Republicans may indorse him. At least they ought to. Tho warfare against Harris should be a common one. Party differences should be forgotten just now, and those who vote for plundering the public should bo buried politically out of sight. Among those who would make a good ntn on an independent basis may be mentioned Judge Morrow, of Warren, Prosecutor of the Pleas Cochran aud Ex Assemblyman Martin, of Sussex, Calvin G.

Corle, of Somerset, Eli llosenbury and J. Newton Yoorhees, of Hunterdon. John T. Bird, were he not Vice Chancellor and so out of the calculation, would bo by far the strongest candidate. As it is, probably Judge Morrow or Mr.

Voorhecs would bo the most popular. With Mr. Killgorc's Democrrit as the organ of the Independents tlie canvass ought to bo a vigorous one. Iudeed, it ought to come very close to winning. The Republicans recognize their chance.

All they need do is to put a good man forward and then maintain the even tenor of their way. The rest will follow as a matter of course They have a larger number of popular, able mon to select a candidate from than have the Democracy. Frederic A. Potts, Ex Sonator Schcuck, of Somerset, J. Ci.

Shipman, of Warren, Charles A. Skillman or N. W. Voorhecs, of Hunterdon, would all command large fallowings. The Democrats ought naturally to move first, and the indications are that an Independent convention will be arranged for within a few weeks.

MeuKKW, Cuniruiltee, LOUISVILLE, KY, POUBER HOW MUCH MR. COOPER DEMANDS. ntnmenti Tpon Federal, State and Municipal Employes to Help the Stalwarts. Illustration ol Hardships Home by Persons With Small Salaries. Three separate campaign funds will be raised in this State and city to support the Stalwart candidates in the impending conflict.

Jay Hubbell, the collector of the Republican Congressional committee.continueshislcvy upon the Federal oflicc holders of city and State. Hopeful Chairman Cooper repeats the summons, "Stand and deliver," to the State officials, from the Governor down to the scrub women, and waylays the very men and women with whoso pocket books the hand of Hubbell has already been busy. Last of all, the Republican city campaign committee is preparing to make the local levy upon the salaries of all the Republican city officials and employes. On June 24 tables showing the salaries and Jay Hubbell's assessments ii five Federal departments in this city were printed in The Times. The Custom House assessment was found to be that of the Navy Yard, $6,723.21 the Mint, $6,420.18 the Post Office, $6,536.75, and the sub Treasury, $649.52, making total of $25,769.02.

The following tables indicate the amount assessed by Chairman Cooper for the Stalwart State campaign. Tho first table covers the Federal employes through the State, together with Pennsylvanians who are employed in the departments at Washington. It does not, however, include the assessments upon the innumerable first class, second class, third class and crossroads postmasters, because tlie latest edition of the Official United States Registry fails to give their names and salaries. There are thousands of other employes who will jhave to go down into their pockets of whose employment no registration is kept except by tho men who arc sending out the assessment circulars. Jay Hub bell's total, according to this table, at two per is $12,607.60.

At four per and another levy is likely to be deemed necessary before the end of the fight, it would make $85,215.20. Add to this amount Mr. Cooper's levy of $12,007.60 upon Federal employes, his assessment of $1,173 upon State officials and employes and the levy of the State and Congressional committees and there would be a total of $131,999.60. In addition to this the Republican city committee hopes to raise at least $17,554.76. THE FEDERAL OFFICIALS.

In making out tho tables, in every instance the aggregate salaries of a department have been placed at the lowest figures, and taking this into consideration, as well as the fact that the full list of assessable officials can not bo obtained, it is believed that the grand total of the three assessments will bo $200,000.

The city committee will juiss tho police assessment, which in years gone by uetted, not infrequently, $22,000, and at times when the screws were put on tighter, $06,000. The committee may also miss the return to be derived from the $30,900 Tax Office salaries which, under the administrations of Thomas J. Smith and Albert C. Roberts, were also taxed. According to tho salaries prefixed to the names of office holders who pass under the rod, as given in the Manual of Councils for this year, not including the army of laborers employed by tho Gas Trust, about $13,000 will be raised.

From the Gas Works alone over $6,000 was collected in a recent year. Neither docs the amount include what may be got from the laborers in tho Water Department or the street cleaning and repairing contractors. The transcribing clcrksof the Recorder of Deeds' office arelalso omitted, as well as the State inspectors, the! Public Buildings employes, some of whom are Democrats, tho district men of tho Survey Department, elected by the people, one or two being Democrats, the Sealers of Weights and Measures, the House of Correction guards, tho Eastern Penitentiary and House of Refuge officials and cm Sloyes, the eighteen clerks of markets, tho orguo men, the election ctyrks of the City Commissioners, tho Coroner's undertaker, and last, perhaps, for some years to! come, tho retiring Major Phipps and his Almshouse subordinates, who might bavo been expected to hand over the percentage on tho superintendent's alary of $2,700 aud other salaries amounting in the aggregate to The figures for tho various departments, so far as they are obtainable, are given bolow. It must pe remembered that all of these men will be aslfed also to pay an assessment ranging froin or $50 to the ward or division committees. An estimate of the amount which the Republican managers of the city will thus have at heir disposal would probably not be wide of the mark, when all these facts are calculated upon, if placed at $50,000: BEV1SION OF TAXES.

We thought you'd rather like to know where they came from, how the girls talk that make them, "and other like facts that conduce to the right understand ing of a pretty piece of needle work." But, when our buyer got to Berlin a few days ago, he found there four Philadelphia merchants after "French" collars! Four! Now, as likely as not, they'll go and get up a syndicate on those jabbering German girls, whom we had fondly called our own. Why will tradespeople read our advertisements? Are they not in the nature of confidential communications? We don't read theirs. Four Philadelphia merchants in Berlin It will never do for us to go out of the business; but how to keep in it is the question. There's a man in New York, too, who will shake in his boots. The sly fellow probably knows all about how these Berlin things came to be "French;" but he had the wit to keep his ethnological nomenclature to himself.

What, if he should come upon us for damages? "OI have passed a miserable night We shall brace up, put the best face on things, and try to feel fierce.

Barcelona, a species of Spanish, (Brussels net embroidered with floss silk) of many cream, widths and patterns, marked down a half, some more, some less. Black Spanish laces of a dozen patterns marked down a little; the worst ones a good deal. Now here's a little matter that we want to keep from these four merchants that have the effrontery to read our but we can't afford to pay for saying any more about that. So we hide it under these old laces that nobody wants. Oriental came out after our European tramp of last year; at least Oriental ties did; and we couldn't do any better than to buy them in New If we paid too much for them, so did you.

We have some of them yet at 50 cents. Some new ones have come there's no harm in saying it; for you know our lace man has just got back from Europe; and we'd like you to see the Nine styles at 50 cents; four at 60; and nine of mull with.

A KICKER'S practical view.

Tho rumor that Chairman Cooper also intended to conic down on the municipal officeholders has created a great deal of excitement among those who work for the departments on salaries ranging from $1,000 to $1,500 a year, and there is a disposition to unite in a general kick if ho attempt it. In tho Highway and other departments there are men who say they will not pay anything, except what Chairman Shields exacts, under any consideration. Why," said an employe, it would bo downright robbery to compel us to pay four per cent. Take my salary, lor instance, $1,000 a year, and see what the four per cent, added to my division assessment of $10 amounts to. With this $50 I could pay tho rent of my house $15 a month for three months, and have $5 left for car faro for seven weeks.

Sly family consists of myself, wifo and four children. At thirty cents a day the assessment would meet our butcher's bill for nearly six months. It would give me all the coal 1 burn aud settle my gas bill during the entire winter. I have figured this thing out with my wifo and have considered all that might be done with this money. It would have permitted me to send both her and the children to the country, where my sick infant could have been benefited, for a period of three weeks, but I was afraid to do so, not knowing what moment the extortionato circular would reach mo.

It is infamous work, but I suppose wo must submit to it or they will find others who will." Talk of this kind is not heard in rare instances. It is the almost universal expression of sentiment among the department employes, and it would not be surprising if Mr. Cooper makes the threatened demand that it will be strenuously resisted.

PLAIN TRUTHS The Hood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part ef the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.

These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that nothing but iron will restore tlie blood to its natural condition and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause headache, and are otherwise injurious. Brown'sIron Bitters will thoroughly and quickly assimilate with the blood, purifying and strengthening it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause fiead Bche or constipation, and is positively not injurious.

Feb. is, 1880. Gents: Upon the recommendation of a friend I tried IIhown's Iron Bitteks as a tonic and restorative for my daughter, whom 1 was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters Yy the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, I was loth to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daughter had taken one bottle of fhtoWN's Ikon Hitters, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said ''Tonics were required;" and when informed that the elder sister was taking Bhown's Iron Bittehs, responded "that is a good tonic, take it." Auokam Thsli'S.

Brown's Iron Bitters effectually cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Weakness, and renders the greatest relief and benefit to persons suffering from such wasting diseases as Consumption, Kidney Complaints, etc. ABOUD'S DOTTED WITH THE NUTRITIVE PniXCII'LSB OP MEAT.
