On Friday evening, Nov. /, Hon. NJ. v.
Cannon, addressed democratic meeting
the largest and most enthusiastic of the
campaign at this point. He made bril-
liant speech of one and one half hours
duration, in the course of which the re-
publican party was arraigned in scorching
terms. The hard times, depression in
business and heavy burdens of taxation
was all charged to republican mlsrule.
He proved conclusively that the demo
cratic party was the only party for the
people, that its broad platform of princi-
pies was the only one through which
honest reforms could come. In glowing
terms the speaker pictured the infamy of
the returning board steal and created a
perfect whirl of enthusiasm. Mr.. Cannon
is one of the most eloquent speakers on
the stump, has a clear full voice, and
uses excellent language, while noticeably
feature is. smoothly rounded periods and
well defined sentences. He done vast
amount of good here and materially
helped the cause. Hampton will roll up a
bouncing majority for the democracy next

sweeping reduction in the charges for
iDsuring grain in elevators, the reduction
amounting to three-fourths of one per

The maximum rate, or the most dangerous
risk, is 81 so and the minimum, or safest,

thus related: Going into a neighDor's

it was a case in which medical assis-

she intended to try a cure that she had
long used in simular cases, and never
found to fail. On being pressed to
