No Primary for the City Election.
The City Democratic Committee held a
meeting on Saturday night last, at which
ten out of the twelve members were pres
emit. The subject of ordering primary
election for the city contest was discussed
fully and at length. and the committees
conclusion, unanimously rendered, was
embodied in the following:
At a meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Democratic Party of the City of Staunton,
held April 18th, 1888, the following resolution
was offered:
Reso10ed, as the sense of this Committee,
with the lights before it and after the best
consideration the Committee has been able to
give the subject, that it is inexped1elft for the
party to hold a Primary Election or Conven-
ton to make nominations for the offices to be
filled at the approaching municipal election.
This resolution, after having been duly
considered, was adopted by unanimous vote,
and on motion it was resolved that the same
be published in the Democratic papers of the
city. THos. G. ELDER, Chairman.
Jos. B. WOODWARD, Secretary.
The Committees action seems to US to
be prudent, wise, and IN the best interests
of the Democratic party, both for the
present and the future, and we have ne
doubt will receive the approval of those
Democrats who have looked carefully at
the subject.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is MISE
ry. Indigestion is foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one of the
most complicated and wonderful things in exiS-
tense. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cooke
ry, mental worry, late hours irregular habits. and
many other things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation of dyspetics
But Green's August Flower has done wonder
full work in reforming this sad business and max
ing the American people so healthy that they can
enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without health. But

ness to the dyspeptic Ask your druggist for a
