them his own prices. The manufacturer gets
the money, Bayless gets the goods and their
customers get the bargains, and this is why

Col. WoOlley, a prominent and
well-known Cincinnati Democrat,
was recently interviewed by a New
York reporter, and expressed his in
tense disgust with the election Of U.
S. Senator Payne and the whole
@Standard Oil" busines connected
with it. He said he knew positively
that 20 Democratic members of the
Legislature were pledged in writing,
and Q more verbally, to vote for
PendletOn, making 38, and leaving
only 4 more to secure him the nomi.
nation, yet Standard Oil had the
power to change the situation to So
votes for Payne on the first ballot !
The whole affair, he said, was a
scheme to nominate Payne for the
Presidency, and if money could buy
the Democratic National Conven-
ion, it would be done. If PAYNE Sc
cures the Democratic nomination,
Col. WOolley said the Republicans
should nominate John Sherman, who
could beat him $4,000 votes in Ohio,
and to whose support the business
men of the country would rally and
contribute all the money necessary
to COunteraCt that Of the Standard
Oil company.

The very marked testimonials from College
Professors. respectable Physicians, and other
gentlemen of intelligence and character TO the
value of Warmers SAFE CURE, published in
the editorial columns of our best newspapers,
have greatly surprised me. Many Of these
gentlemen know, and reading their testimony
was impeCd to purchase some bottles Of
Warmers Safe Cure and analyze it. Besides, l
took some swallowing three times the pre-
scribed quantity. ain satisfied the medicine
is not injurious. and will frankly add that if /
found myself the victim of a serious kidney
trouble I should use this preparation. The
truth is, the medical profession stands dazed
and helpless in the presence of more than one
kidney maladv, while the testimony Of hum
dreds Of intelligent and very reputable gentle
men hardly leaves room to doubt that Mr. H.
II. Warner has fallen upon one of those happy
discoveries which occasionally bring help TO
suffering humanity.
