Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

MIR. DONNELLY'S RESOLUTIONS.
The committees being appointed, mo-
ton was made to adjourn, and While this
was pending, and announcements of COM
mittee meetings were being made, Mr.. Don
nelly conceived this to be the time for him
to put in set of resolutions, which he
started to read. Several gentlemen rose to
a point of order, but he wouldn't be
squelched, and got to the front nobly. His
resolutions commenced with several extracts
from his last fall speeches. in which he de-
Scribed the Northwest as the great inter-
continental food-producing region OF the
United States, which ought to protect itself
against the rapacity of other portions OF the
country, and which ought no longer to re-
main tributary province, the plumber field
of the rest of the nation. The resolutions
recognized the Importance OF railroads, but
objected to some Of their financial methods.
To escape their rapacity, the resolutions
demanded of congress the Improvement of
the waterways. which were tersely described
as Gods primal avenue OF commerce;
and more particularly the improvement
OF the Mississippi river from the fails of ST..
Anthony to the Gulf of Mexico. Legisla-
ton was also demanded which would pun
ish with loss of charter and contiscation of
property all attempts on the part OF rail-
roads to prevent competition by pooling
earnings. The resolution also spoke for an
appropriation for a canal from Taylor's
Falls to Duluth, and ended with a clause
providing for the reassembling of the con-
vention one year from to-day at the same
place.
The resolutions were received with
mingled jeers and cheers and referred to
the committee Oh resolutions against the
motion of MI Jackson Of Illinois who moved
that the stump speech part be referred tC
the convention when it should be fully or.
ganized.
Judge Atwater of Minneapolis rose with
very red face and moved that all resolu
tions be referred to the committee on reso-
lutions without reading. This motion pre-
vailed md the convention adjourned fol
dinner
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-09-04

of the property of railroads that pool their
earnings, and for the building of a canal be-
tween Taylor's Falls and Duluth, then the
Minneapolis people began to see that Mr..
Donnelly was making fun of their pet
scheme. No sooner had the reader sat
down than Judge Atwater, after the fashion
Of the man who locks the door of the stable
after the horse has been stolen, moved
that all resolutions be referred to
the committe on resolutions without
reading. This closed the proceedings, and
the tired delegates went to dinner to give
the committees chance to confer.
The convention was late in reaSsembling,
but when it got together the committees
were not yet ready to report, and so Con-
gresham Jerry Murphy of Davenport, la,
was invited to address the convention on
the subject of waterways, and read very
strong speech on the Hennepin canal,
which was received with great applause
first from the Illinois seats and when he
concluded from the entire convention, ex-
cept possibly Missouri.
GOV. BRoss' DILEMMA.
There was much amusement for the
spectators when the committee on perma-
nent organization reported in the afternoon.
Gov Bross had been warned that he was
going to be temporary chairman week or
more ago and had prepared speech which
had been sent out by the Associated Press
all over the country. He was not prudent
enough to fire off his speech when he was
first elected, but thought to hold it until his
election was ratified by the per-
J manent organization. Ithappened. though.
that the committee thought that Congress
man Warner of Kansas City would make
good chairman. So thought the conven-
ton and so the governor had his speech
all ready, but no occasion to explode it. It

to assure the TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
delegates that they were welcome 10 the
state and city, and eX-Gov. Bross OF Chi
cago was made temporary chairman, accord
ing to the preconcerted arrangement.
The fun commenced Immediately when
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly announced hlmself
the spokesman of the Minnesota deiegatlon
and presented the resolution adopted by a
meeting of part of the delegation, held III
the Merchants hotel early in the morning,
''insisting'' that each delegation have seven
members on the committee OF resolutions
This brought Gordon Z. Cole to his feet
with the announcement that he, too, was the
chairman of a meeting of the Minnesota
delegates and that but three members OF
the committee on resolutions from each
delegation were necessary. Mr. DonneIly
then wittily referred to himself, and Mr.
Cole as two disSimilar drOmios. He and
Gen. Cole had fun with each other for
while, II. l.. Gordon and the other Mime
apolis people standing by Mr.. Donnelly
until disgusted Dakota delegate, with
loads of common sense buta circumscribed
knowledge of Shakespeare, remarked that
Minnesota
HAD TOO MANY ROMEOS,
and too few Juliets, and suggested that the
convention could get along very well with
out Minnesota and its Quarrels. Ali this
time ex-AIayor Chase of Omaha was rigor-
ously asserting the rights Of Nebraska by
making speeches. Several mo-
tions were proposed, amended and
withdrawn with the utmost reck-
lessness. and after a while, the only motion
that should have been entertained at all
was passed-that the delegations name
their members of the various committees.
This gave an opportunity for fifteen minutes
recess for consultation, which the Mime
sofa delegation took advantage OF by adj
iourning to Market hall, where they could
fight out their little battle by themselves.
When the convention came to order again
some of the committees were announced,
and motion to adjourn was pending, wher
Mr. Donnelly came to the front with his
speech, which was in the form OF resolu
tions. The preamble recited how The
people of the Northwest were being ground
down by the bonded railroads, and tha
Western waterways must be improved by
the general government.
HE SPECIFIED THREE THINGS
he wanted done, the first being the
improvement of the Mississippi river
from New Orleans to st. Anthony falls
This pleased the Minneapolis people anC
there were faint symptoms of applause
from their benches; but when he began t
