The Republican National Convention
in its work at Chicago has carried out
the wishes of the people of this grand
country and defeated the machine. 1t
has placed men in nomination who
will be perfectly free to act for the
best interests of free people. 1'he
unit rule and other causes worked Mr..
Blaine's defeat in the two preceding
conventions but the introduction OF
the district system of representation
in the recent gathering, gave it a mem.
bership fresher from the masses and
proved a powerful agent in securing
the nomination of the popular choice.
John A. Logan, the Soldier citizen. is
likewise popular choice. For an &C.
count of convention work and sketches
of the lives of our candidates, see

trouble for the poor victims Of hay fever. For
them flowers have no odor, and the summer
little or no beauty. To snuff, sneeze and wipe
their weeping eyes for three or four successive
months--this Is their pitiable portion. Whether
this form Of catarrh lie called hay-fever, hay
cold, rose-cold or rose-fever, makes no differ
ence; they suffer just the same. There Is no
help in sea-voyages, there is no help In high
mountain air. These only tighten the pocket
and leave the disease unabated. But there is
a positive cure In Ely's Cream Balm. We
