many WAYS in which favors might be

gives uttersnce to the following, which is
true as preachin':" ~The man who

eth as surely as cometh the winter that 6

And we may add that when he has made
pleasant mention 999 times of some per-
| son, place or thing, but on the thOusandth
time fails to do so, he must not expect to be

entire lack of knowledge 1t matter:
not. The simple fact remains, and he

the great Palmer meetings here and at
Moline. The county committee, under
the head of its chairman, George W. Vim

every township and hamlet. Good speak
ers are sent. and large and enthusiastic
meetings are held. Every town reports
a gain to Cleveland over four years ago.

strong clubs-the Sunnyside, that has

twelve years under its present pres
ident, ]. H. Ladders, and its lately
organized coadjutor, the Island City,

voters who did not vote for Cleveland in
