THE FIRST BALLOT.

During the call there were numer-
Gus calls for a poll Of the delegates
which necessitated the calling by the
secretary of the names of individual
delegates in states from which these
calls proceeded, which caused the
great delay in balloting.
After the announcement Of the
vote of the first ballot, the chair said
a ballot for a candidate for the presi-
dency having been had without Sc
curing nomination, according to
the rules, the convention will now
proceed to another vote. The secre-
tary will call the roll.

pushed on to a second ballot. Re
suit:

states for second ballot.

side for several minutes.
In partial subsistence some dele
gate shouted for the regular order.
The chair-No nomination having
been made, the convention will pro-
coed to the third ballot, and the secre-
tary will call the roll of states and

Who Has a Stomach

OF which he or she can truthfully say, 1T was
never out of order" There are some human
interiors" whose digestive powers seem akin
to those of the ostrich. Yet it may well be doubt
sd if even they have not felt passing dyspeptic
qualm at some time or other Thousands less
lucky the chronic victims of indigestion, have,
although the inherent weakness of their stomachs
seemed an insuperable obstacle to recovery
eventually regained complete digestion by the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, foremost Of
American tonics and correctives The tone and
activity OF the liver and bowels are likewise in
creased by this highly accredited medicine, the
purity and efficacy of which long since won for it
a popularity which time has only served TO aug
ment. Built up with the BtterS, system no
longer weak, may bid defiance to malaria and
resist other causes provocated of i'll health. The
rheumatic, and persons suffering from inactivity
of the kidneys and bladder, also find 1t genuine
source of relief

DID 1T EVER

Occur to you that the tailor who
allows his customers to take clothing
that does not fit does himself more
harm than the customer? 1t has
always appeared to us, and we are
probably oftea the more anxious of
the two TO see our customers perfectly
satisfied. Another great point with us
is that of working out orders on prompt
time, and by keeping such large force
as we have, we are enabled to make
suits almost any time within a week
Have you ever taken look at Our
stock of piece goodsH You should dc
SO, even If you do not order, as We
are DESTROYS that people should know
exactly the style Of goods we keel
and the kind of clothing we make.

EACH United States Senator is to
have a clerk at six dollars day dur

clerk will consist in writing letters to
the press descriptive of the Senator's
backbone, pluck, bottom, game, tooth

CHARITY and Donations. Of the
two words which shall it be? Let it
be the latter, though. both convey the
same meaning. The floods of the
West and the distress caused by the
wind storms in the South haveappealed
to all throughout this broad land for
aims. The response was quick and
abundant. For this the thanks and
prayers of the sufferers were protuse.
But we wish to reflect, for one moment,
on the sending away Of money from
cities and towns, TO the West, when in
these very places misery and poverty
exist. Should it be? There can be
but one answer. No Let it be under
stood that we do not censure the send
ing Of money and clothing to sufferers
from sudden and fearful calamities
but we must say it is done to the detri
ment of thousands suffering at the
places from where it is sent. Charity
should, in all cases, begin at home
When it has accomplished its mission
there, then let it 60 abroad. How
unbecoming and common is it now
adays for men and women to ALLOW
their names to be placed opposite til
amount which they give, especially
it be a goodly sum. How much NOR
becoming would it be in these peopl
to search out the misery and povert
in their own cities and alleviate it an
then make response to our Wester
neighbors. There are thousands {
men well able to look after the miser
at home and abroad. We ventul
the prediction that ninety-nine ric
men out of hundred, sending none
to Western sufferers, do so with Il
knowledge Of fruitful return fro
that quarter. The charity of the ric
in most instances, is cloaked, by
bonus, soon to be reaped If the trl
spirit of charity prevailed the hear
OF the rich, then misery and pover
in our cities and towns would DO u
sened

AN OVERCOAT

At this season demands your attention
more, probably, than any other gar
ment, and every indication points to
this as being an unusually active time
for their sale. The demand of late
years has been tor something rs warm,
but yet dressier, and not so bulky as
the old style heavy beaver cloths. We
have in stock more overcoats this sea-
sou than ever before, and our sales
already show that we have sold a
greater number than we ever did so
early. Ready.made clothing has been
improved so much of late that you can
find among a frst>class stock
suits made of material which few
years ago it would have been consider
ed venturous undertaking to max,
up. The makeup and trimming o
all clothing has also been great,
improved and for a very moderate sun
person can now procure an outfi
that will answer every purpose that j
needed of it.

TO the bereaved family ofLydia Pedley
There is but q step between us and death.
LIST S1tsI. XIII.
There Is but step! anti lies labor is done.
Earth's hopes allt It's pleasures all DER
Only SteD! and 8 dear one is one
TO dwell On that echoless shore.
Only a step! and a daughter lies low,
Where no human kisses can come:
Only step! aud our joys turn 70 woe,
And darkness envelops our home
Only BREATH and nothing could save
sister beloved from the tomb:
only step tween Us and the grave
Where we've laid her away in her bloom.
1t is only step "between us and DEATH"
ana the angels may know not the day
Then how can we boast Of heightened breath
since the falrest are taken aTay2
The destroyer came :'like a wo1fon the fold"
10 the home where her chilslh ,ud wa spent;
And never again shall we meet as of old;
Since these ties of aft ction are rent
IT'S only step to deaths chilling stream:
The boatmen comes silently DER,
And bears US away to a couhtry unseen,
Away to all untrOdden shore
Just one short step! yet we cannot see
lhrou@h tho'mists of n orta sight;
But One who is wiser far tn n we
In Ills wisdom must ever do right
1t is only step to the gat of life,
Where our sou Is uniet cred AMI free,
Shall some day interpr this doubt and strife.
When His wonuarous love we shall see.
Take courage then each throbhing heart
Gods plans will surely un old.
1t Is only step from where we part
To that beautiful city of gold.
A FRIEND,
