The Austin Statesman says that
newspaper that supports indo-
pendent candidates has no right to
call itself Democratic. Perhaps
not, but papers have done so in the
past aud will do so in the future;
and Notwithstanding that they
sometimes support an independent
candidate they adhere to the gen.
eral principles of the party. 1t
does not always follow that simply
because a newspaper is Democrat
ic in its politics that it is in duty
bound to support every man who
has O nomination it occasionally
happens that nominations arc If
regular. As rule Democrats arc
expected to and do vote the starlight
ticket, but many reserve the right
to scratch" an Objectionable can
didate. The same rule may with
propriety apply to newspapers.

ing her sores. Finally the physicians ac-
knowledg ed their defeat by this Black Wolf,

Creator.
Her husband hearing wonderful reports of
Swift's Specific Is. S. 81 prevailed on her to
try it as a last resort. She began its use I'M
