INFLAMMAToRY RHEUMATISM.

For over two years | suffered IN

to be helped out of bed. At times

and had to be handled as tenderly
as an infant. My chest was in

bic at times. All the old and we'll
known remedies were exhausted.
but no permanent relief obtained.
About year ago 1 was induced by

The effect has been magical. NY

The Houston Post says the plat
form is all right and it is satisfied.
1t is the lease law plank in the
platform that pleases the Post.
The free-grasS men claimed Ross
but the lease law men got in their
work. 1t will probably be found
in due time that the platform is
hardly worth the paper 1T IS writ
ten upon platforms are generally
made TO subserve special purpose
at the convention and having full
filled their mission they are put
aside as worthless. The last ma
tional Democratic platform was
loud in its call for and pledge to
reform the tariff and reduce the
revenue. Tho tariff has not been
reformed and instead of reducing
the revenue a 'fresh bill" to in
crease the revenue was passed.
1t is the notorious oleomargerine
bill for which no excuse could be
found save 20 increase the already
too large revenue. Platforms, no
matter which party makes tcem,
are o delusion and q snare.

Hon. SETH SHEPARD was inter-
viewed by the Dallas News after
his return from the Galveston con-
vention. Col. Shepard couldn't see
that there was any COLLISION between
the Knights of Labor and Farmers
alliance on one hand and the pure
Democracy on the other. 1t did
look that way to some of the mem
bers of the convention and to many
who were not present but who re-
lied upon the reports. 1t is well
that there are difference of opin-
ion. There is one thing that may
be put down for certainty and
that is, if the Democratic party
hopes to maintain its supremacy it
must sit down bodily and boldly
upon all secret political organiza-
tlons, no matter what they may be
named or IN what quarter they
originate. The Democratic party
asks no man his religious belief, or
inquiries to what secret society he
belongs. If he subscrIbes to Dem
ocratic principles he Is Democrat
and has no party secrets.

GEN. CLAIBORNE was nominated
Oh SATURDAY. evening at Galveston
by the senatorial and flotorIaI con-
vention for state senator from the
Galveston district. His only op-
ponent was Col. Walter Gresham.
1t is charged that the convention
was composed of a majority
of knights of Labor, and
that Gresham being lawyer and
a railroad man he did not suit
them, hence the nomination OF
Major General Claiborne. Gen.
Claiborne made the convention a
speech and advised that Gresham
be nominated, but whatever the
intention of the speech was it had
the effect of securing Claiborne
the nomination. Gen. Claiborne
has a statewide reputation as
fine old-fashioned Democrat. A
correspondent of the News is de-
sires of knowing whether General
Claiborne will accept a nomination
at the hands of q convention whose
Democracy is subject to question.

About the same time from the dreamy
