The origin of the saying, "Let tha
cat out of the bag." Is traced to a fa-
vorite trick among country folk la
England, to substitute a cat for on®
of the young pigs when the latter wer«
carried in bags to market. These bags.
In old phraseology, were known as
pokes. If any greenhorn was foolish
enough to buy "a pig In poke" that
Is, purchase the animal without look-
ing at It—the trick was successful, but

BEPUBLICAN PARTY.
HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION
UNDER VARIOUS NAMES.
die Conservatives of 1770, tho Federal-
ist of 1790 and the Whigs Were the
Predecessors of the Present l'arty
Its Mnny National Coii eutlou*.
It should not be inferred, however,
That that was the beginning of the
Rict ublican party. The leinage of it
may be easily traced back to tbe be-
ginning of the republic. The Con-
servatives in the continental congress
•wore the founders of the principles
which even today find more or less ex-
pression in Republican platforms,
later the Conservatives were known
as Federalists and rallied around the
leadership of Alexander Hamilton at
the same time that the Anti-Federal-
Ists flocked to the leadership of
Thomas Jefferson. Inasmuch as Presi-
dent Washington recognized the Fed-
eralists by making Hamilton his
aec °tary of the treasury (then the
aiost important cabinet office), Re-
publicans claim that he was their first
president. And if Washington was
the first Republican president. Adams
Bins' be adjudged the second, for be
•was the recognized candidate of the
Federalists.
In those early days nominations for
3
ALEXANDER HAMILTON,
the presidency were made *n congres-
sional caucuses. Thus, the congress-
men chosen two years prior to the
pci-iiidential election nominated the
presidential candidates, separating
futu party caucuses for that purpose.
That method not being popular,
however strenuous efforts were from
tzni- to time made by the electorate
to have it superseded by a system
that would more fully conform with
the ideas of popular sovereignty.
Then state legislatures began, each
on its own account, to make presi-
dential nominations, but holding their
action subordinate to final selection at
Washington.
The Whigs or Federalists held a na-
tional convention in 1539 in Philadel-
phia and nominated William Hcniy
Harrison and John Tyler. This was
the first convention of the party based
on the system that now obtains. The
Federal party was now wholly known
the Whig party. The next Whig
convention met in Baltimore and
nominated Henry Clay and Theodore
Frelinghuysen, Each party adopted a
platform, the Whigs declaring for a
well-regulated currency and a taritT
for revenue, with incidental protec-
tion. This was the first year of na-
tional platforms.
In 1847 the whigs met in national
convention in Philadelphia June 9 and
nominated Zachary Taylor and Millard
Fillmore. No platform was adopted,
but in a brief address to the whigs of
the country was quoted Uen. Taylor s
alleged utterance that had he voted in
1843 his vote would have been for Gen.
Harrison-which. It was contended,
was evidence enough that he was a
trustworthy whig. In 1852 the whigs
held their convention in Philadelphia
and nominated Winfleld Scott and
William A. Graham of North Carolina,
or, as Daniel Webster read those
names, "Fuss n feathers and tar.
The year 1856 brought in new issues
and, on one side, new men. it was the
year of the know-nothing manifesta-
tion, when a secret political society
threatened to destroy both the old par-
ties and to change the foundation prin-
ciples of the republic. The republican
party—made by a union of the free soil
party and the northern portion of the
whigs—held their national convention
that year in Philadelphia and nomi-
nated John C. Freemont and William
A. Dayton. The main plank in their
platform was in opposition to the ex-
tension of slavery.
The republicans held their 1860 con-
vention in Chicago. It nominated
Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Ham-
lin. Its platform was in the main a
declaration in favor of restricting
slavery to tbe states where it then ex
isted. and by way of emphasis it re-
embodied the declaration of independ-
ence. George Ashmun of Massachu-
setts was permauent chairman of the
convention. Horace Greeley had been
ruled out of the New York delegation,
but he appeared in the convention as a
delegate from Oregon.
In 1S61 the republicans held their
convention in Philadelphia and nomi-
nated Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson.
In 1868, at Chicago, Gen. U. S. Grant
was nominated for president an'u
Schuyler Colfax for vice president. The
convention was held in the Exposition
building on the lake front. Gen. Jo-
seph R. Hawley was permanent chair-
man.
For the second term Gen. Grant was
nominated at Philadelphia, in 1872, and
Henry Wilson was nominated for vice
president on the same ticket. Thomas
Settle of North Carolina was the pre-
siding officer. The liberal republicans,
all republicans who were opposed to
Grant, held a convention in Cincinnati
and nominated Horace Greeley and B.
Gratz Brown. The democrats held
their convention in Baltimore and in-
dorsed the nomination of Greeley and
Brown. But some democrats were dis-
satisfied, and the straight-outs, as they
called themselves, held a convention in
Louisville, Kv., and nominated Charles
O'Connor and John Quincy Adams.
The republican convention held
1876 was at Cincinnati, and nominated
Rutherford B. Hayes and William
Wheeler of New York. Edward Mc-
pherson of New York was presiding
officer.
In 1880 James A, Garfield was nomi-
nated at Chicago for president and
Chester A. Arthur for vice president,
and both became president. Senator
Hoar was permanent chairman.
In 1S84, at Chicago, James G. Blaine
and John A. Logan were nominate*
respectively for president and vice
president. John B. Henderson was the
presiding officer.
In 1S88 the republicans nominated in

You're not feeling just right this spring,
are you? Somehow, you haven't your
old-time strength, cannot take hold of
things with your usual push and
energy. You just drag around,
fairly well one day, not so well the
next. You are wretched, disconsolate,
discouraged; you are miserable.

To be rich in nerve power you should take a good spring
medicine, something that will give you pure and rich blood.
A perfect Sarsaparilla will do this every time; not a cheap
Sarsaparilla. not one that promises you a great deal of bulk
for your money; but a highly concentrated Sarsaparilla, one
that has more cure in it than any other Sarsaparilla in the
world.
