a Struggle for Years Ending In VIC
tory

Thomas T. Boylan, of Falmouth, Maine, has
been remarkable sufferer for twenty-five years
Hs trouble commenced with rheumatic fever
leaving him with badly swollen knee, or what is
commonly known as rheumatic white swelling.
Mr. Boylan has suffered from this trouble ever
since. He could never do an able bodied mens
work on account of this trouble, and 1t has from
this fact kept him poor man all his life. He for
years was treated by skilled physicians, and he
has always been trying something, but the knee
gradually grew worse until for the past five years
he has been obliged to use crutch and cane. When
Drs. Smith and McMullen were treating the sick
free at Congress Hall, Mr.. Boylan received four
magnetic treatments he did not use his crutch
After the fourth he went without the aid of any
thing. He has ever since grew well and stronger.
until he is now as well as any man and can do a
full days work. ALI of the swelling has disap-
p red and the full strength returned. Mr. Boy
Ian had long ago given up ever getting any help,
and he would not have went to Congress Hall,
but 1t was Free Many hundred others were cured
in the same way, and many are constantly being
cured every day by these gifted magnetic ply
sicans.
They are permanently located at the IT, s. Ho-
tel, and can be consulted free from a. m. to

liable to the pains and aches Of rheumatism dread
every change to damp or stormy weather. Al
though we do not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
a positive specific for rheuma ism, the remarkable
cures it has erected show that it may be taken
for rheumatism with reasonable certainty of bene-
MT. Its action in neutralizing the acidity Of the
blood, which is the cause of rheumatism, consti-
tutes the secret of the success of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla In curing this complaint. If you suffer
from rheumatism, give Hoods Sarsaparilla a fair
trial; we believe it will do you good.

A STARTLING CLAIM.
Buckeye Democrats Say Their Poll Of Ohio
Gives Them the State.

Buckeye Democrats Say Their Poll Of Ohio
Gives Them the State.
CLEVELAND, November LIT has been
generally conceded by men Of both parties
that Ohio would give her electoral vote to
Harrison and Morton. The betting, or
what little of 1t has bsen done, has been at
odds Of 3 and to 1 on Republican plu.
rality in this State. Tie Democratic man.
agers, however, have conducted syste-
matte and Thorough canvass, and, while
making TO claims, are more confident than
ever before in the political history Of recent
years.
A poll of the entire State hss bean made,
and careful compilation Of the immense
mass of information in the hands Of the
Democratic Committee shows Democratic
plurality Of 1900. The reports upon
which this estimate is made are furnishsd
by 3, 500 agents all over the State, and are
ss accurate ss ante-eleclion figures can be.
The msjoriiy allowed the Republicans in
this (Cuyahoga) county is 3 1000, and this
is sample of the estimates given in other
counties.
This campaign has been conducted on
new issues, and no man can predict what
Ohio will do on election day. There are
few foolish enough to think that there Is a
good chance that she may be found in the
Democratic column. The Republicans, Of
co arse, claim the State by q big majority,
but give no figures, and 80 far as known
have made no poll of the votes.

POINT PLEASANT, W. VA, November
1.-The people Of Mason county are out
in masses to-day, to the number Of about
two thousand, to hear Senator Kenna and
Judge Jackson, Democratic candidate fol
Congress, in this district. The meeting
was the largest, that has yet been held in
the county, being several hun
drei larger than the Goff
meeting of q few days ago, with 20 crowds
from Ohio to help us out in numbers, but
oil solid West Virginia voters. Judge
Jackson spoke first. When he appeared
upon the stage he was greeted with much
applause amid the waving of bandannss.
His speech was magnificent, able, logical
and convincing, free from all bitterness.
At the conclusion Of his speech Senator
Kenna was introduced by the chairman,
and when he stsppsd forward he was met
with rapturous applause, which lasted for
about ten minutes. Senator Kenna dwelt
almost exclusively upon the tariff. He
showed up the iniquities Of the Republi.
can robbsr tariff in o way that
it had never been presented TO
our people before. His spesch
was 30 earnest, able and truthful that II
carried conviction to every one present.
Several Republicans congratulated him
after his spt ech, declaring that he had Co1.

f,oling and lying to them upon the tr fl,
and that they in ended to vote for Cleveland
and the Democratic policy Of tariff reduc-

day for Democracy and the Dem :rats are
iubilant and are fully determined to re-
deem the county by rolling up o good

WASHINGTON, November 1.-The sum
mary action of the President in dismissinG
Minister West is naturally the chief topic
of discussion in political circles here.
Democrats are exulting and Republicans
are cross and critical. Not the least inter,
esting feature of the matter as it is dis
cussed here is the bad break that Mr..
Blaine made in his speech at Albany last
night. His speech predicting that tie
President would not dare to give the Min
ister his walking papers is contrasted with
an interview of Edward McPhsrsop, the
manager of the Republican canvass here,
who bitterly ss:ails the President for hay-
ing upduly exaggerated a small matter. 1t
ic evident from the spontaneous expressions
10 the President by telegraph and from par
sonal callers that he has met the wishes OF
his party. Throughout the day kilograms
of congratulation and approval have poured
in upon the President, emanatiDg from
Democratic leaders in all sections OF the
country.
