AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR.
The People Had About Forgotten
This Letter Was Coming.
STEVENSON SAYS HE HAS BEEN
TOO BUSY TO WRITE.

The Belated Epistle Meekly Endorses All
That Mr.. Cleveland Has Said on His Pet
Topic, the Tariff-It Then Praises the
Currency and Wild Cat Bank Resolu-
tions--:Finally, 1t Cries Calamity Over
the Elections Bill
CHARLESTON, w. Va, October 3d.
Adlai Stevenson has sent his letter of ae-
ceptance to the Democratic national
committee. In it he excuses its tardi-
ness on the ground of his labors on the
stump. He says in part: s'The realiza-
ton of public questions commonly ex-
pected from candidate for Vice Presi-
dent is rendered less imperative by the
complete presentation of the Democratic
creed by the gentleman with whom l
have the honor to be associated as can
didate on the national ticket. His treat
ment of the issues now before the coun-
try for discussion and settlement is so
complete that can do little more than
endorse his position and give it the en-
phasis of my unqualified approval. The
greatest power conferred upon human
government is that of taxation. All the
great struggles of the past for broader
political liberty looked toward the limit
alton of this power by the right to
tax, right that should always be linn
tied by the necessities of government
and to benefits that may be shared by
ALL Whenever this power is used to
draw tribute from the many for the ben
eft of the few, or when part of the peo-
pie are oppressed in order that the re-
mainder may prosper unduly, equality
is lost sight of and injustice hardens in
to precedent which is used to excuse
exactions and raise artificial distinctions
which the beneficiaries come to look upon
in due time as vested rights sacred to
themselves. 1t is plain that our present
inequitable system of tariff taxation has
promoted the growth of such conditions
in our land. There is no longer pre-
text or excuse for the maintenance of a
war tariff in times of peace and more
than quarter of a century after armed
conflict has ceased The platform of the
National Democratic Convention de-
mands the reform of this system and the
adoption in its place of one which will
insure equality to all people. am in
full and hearty accord with these pur-
poses.

CLEVELAND CAN NOT VOTE.
He Has Failed to Register at His New
York Home.

He Has Failed to Register at his new
York Home.
New York, October 30.-Republican
leaders at National Headquarters are
questioning Grover Cleveland's right to
vote at the coming election. They are
keeping the matter very quiet and will
not disclose their plans, but it is rumored
that Mr.. Cleveland will be challenged and
possibly arrested if he attempts to de-
posit his ballot November S. The ex-
President resides at 12 West 51st street,
in the 18th election district of the 21st
assembly district, but he did not take up
his residence there until after October
12, which renders it Illegal, under the
thirty days residence in the district
clause, for him to vote. If he does not
ESSAY to vote it is intimated the Republi-
cans will issue circular asking Demo-
Gratis why they support man who does
not take the trouble to qualify as voter.
KNUTE NELSON ARRESTED.
A Democratic Plot Which Seems To Be
Boomerang.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, October 30.-The
Democrats have made disgraceful
crowning to a disgraceful campaign.
They have played their last card and have
found it of no avail. As the result of
plot Knute Nelson, the Republican can
didate for governor, was arrested Thurs
day night at Dalton, Mimi, on charge
of assault and battery. The. arrest was
made Immediately after Mr.. Nelson had
finished speaking, at about II o'clock.
The constable reached the hall during
the speech, but was too much ashamed
to interrupt the meeting, waiting till it
was over before serving his warrant. Mr.
Nelson was very calm, as he had antici-
pated the action He went with the con-
Stable to a Justice, where bond was given
for his appearance on November 10. 1t
is stated by those who know that when
the case is called no complaining wit
nesses will appear, and that the arrest
was made simply for political effect.
Wednesday night at Elbow Lake prom
inent Democrat made himself particularly

The convention also declared its

ton in favor of sound and honest money.

Another issue of great moment in
the pending contest is the force bill, the
magnitude of which cannot be over
stated. 1t may mean the control of the
election of representatives in Congress
by the bayonet. The Republican party,
by it's acts in the 51st Congress, and its
platform in its late national convention,
stands pledged to the passage of this bill.
That it will pass it when it has power,
no sane man can doubt. To all our peo-

This is the season of the year when people
take cold easily.
A cold is not the simple thing most people
imagine. 1t is serious matter.
A cold is the forerunner of an enfeebled
condition which may result in severe ill
ness, if not death.
Why do people take cold? Because the
system is weakened; because of loss of
tone, of health.
Derangement of the stomach and bowels,
weakness of heart and lungs, dizziness and
similar troubles, = these conditions favor
taking cold, and pave the way for serious
ills.
The way to avoid taking cold is to keep
well. If you are perfectly well it is simply
impossible to take cold or to contract conta-
gious diseases.
There is one safe way to avoid colds and
to preserve health, and that is, to take HID
DEN 8 MAGNETIC COMPOUND.
When you detect the first symptoms of a
cold such as sneezing, dull pressure about
the brain, feeling of weakness, of lassi-
tude, you will find this remedy the perfect
panacea.
1t quickly tones up the stomach and
bowels, regulates the action of the heart,
frees the lungs of poisonous deposits, clears
the brain, gently stimulates the nervous
system-in other words, restores the patient
to full and perfect health.
HIDDEN's MAGNETIC COMPOUND should
always be kept in the house. 1t is lnyalu-
able at this season of the year.
All druggists sell it. Price. 81 per bottle.
The genuine is never sold for less. II you

The Ninth Ward Pioneer Club. consisting Of
four companies of boys. led tho Inst division
and did some fine marching. The cadets of

question as to which body was the better

Tho Veteran Guard was the last in the limo.

As the parade neared an end. the members

individual the Mayor gravely lifted his beaver.
After the band passed the commanding off,
GERS OF the battal ion came along. They were
easily distinguished by their blue uniforms.
The Mayor was puzzled. lie looked at Re-
Corder Smyth for explanation. but got none.
Then he compromised matters u touching
his hat with one finger.
Speaking OF salutes. II was noticeable at the
reviewing stand that no two regiments OF the
National Guard saluted In precisely the same

the same regiment saluted differently.
