tors in this city, and one of them finally
assured me was not long for this world,
and advised me to write to my friends
about it. next went to DR.. Hartman,
without the least confidence that he could
do anything for me. He examined me,
smiled, and said, he could stop the bloody
discharges in less than two weeks, which
he did with PERUNA, and / have now
been entirely we'll for several weeks, and
never felt better in my lif though am
still taking his PERUNA. I will take il

Tie Grecnback convention
which met at Des Moines Tuesday
was almost unanimous for fusion,
but some twenty-five ont of the
five hundred delegates opposing
it. They nominated candidates
for the two lesser places on the
ticket, lieutenant governor and sup
crintendent Of public instruction,
leaving the two more important,
governor and supreme judge, Tor
the Democrats to fill and thereby
carry out the plan for the fusion.
This division Of the ticket Will un-
doubtedly be entirely satisfactory
to the Democrats, it being less
than the Greenbackers asked for
in the fusion OF last year. Their
nominee for lieutenant governor,
Mr.. +. II. Gillette, is a very
creditable one indeed, and one
which the Democrats will have no
hesitancy whatever in endorsing.
