There's pide difference
between the help that's talked Of
and the help that's guaranteed.
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifer
but one. That one is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get . guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, You have your
money back. On this plan, medl-
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine IS
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. AT all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from a tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for dollar.
With this, you pay only for the
good yoa get.
Can you ask more?

Every Democrat in the country

CLEVELAND this year because
The election of CLEVELAND means
the restoration of Democratic prin-

Because the election of CLEVELAND
will put an end to Billion Dollarism.
Because his election will bury the
Force bill idea with no hope or chance
OF resurrection.
Because his election will be the
first slept toward the breaking down
OF that kind of tariff taxation which
aims to enrich the few at the expense
Of the many.
Because it will put a final end to

the Republics greatest danger lies.

reasonable hope for his election. 1t
was then that he and Senator Kennedy
persuaded Harrity to so into the City
Committee. Kennedy and Psttison
began to advocate his election as chair
man. He at first protested, but they
persuaded i'm to make the contest.
There was fight IN the committee,
but Harrity won and became chairman
of the badly divided organization.
About thirteen wards had elected
contesting delegates to the State Con
vention. He recognized the fact that
it would injure Pattison to have these
contesting delegates go to Harrisburg,
so he Immediately set about to har-
monize matters. He appointed har
mony committee of FIVE, and in COM
pany with that committee he went into
every ward where there was a contest
and succeeded in settling all but one.
As result Of this work Pattison's nomi-
nation was made possible.
HE BECOMES POSTMASTER.
After Cleveland's election Mr.. Har-
rity WIS offered the Postmastership of
Philadelphia. At first he declined to
accept on the ground that its duties
would interfere with his law practice,
but the organization, hearing that he
was wavering, began to indorse him
for the position. He was indorsed by
every ward committee but one, and by
nearly every Democratic club in Phil
adelphia, he finally consented to take
the Office. Although severely criti-
cised for his partisanship in the early
part of his career as postmaster, when
Mr.. Harrity retired from the Office he
received testimonial to the excellent
postal service during his administra-
fion from many of the leading business
men of Philadelphia, including John
Wanamaker.
THROUGH SENATOR oUAYS FOLLY.
He was made powerful State lead
er through the folly Of Senator Quay
forcing Delamaters nomination for
Governor in the Republican conven-
ton of 1890. Mr.. Harri,y early in the
preliminary canvass, saw the chance
for Democratic success, and when it
became certain that Delamater was to
be nominated, he announced that he
was in favor of nominating Gov. Pat
tison on the Democratic ticket. Ex-
Senator Wallace had been in the field
for the Democratic nomination for
several months, and had undlsputed
control up to the time Harrity came
out for Pattison. Back of Harrity
was the almost solid Philadelphia del
egation. He took charge OF Gov. Pat
tison's canvass, and single handed won
the fight.

stand the drudgery of the place. The
proposition to make me Chairman OF
the National Committee at the meet
ing in Washington came from the
friends ofthe President. They thought
it would be desirable to elect a repre-
sentative Of the opposition and cement
the party the same as was done in
1888, when MIR. Quay was made chair
man. Mr.. Quay you will remember,
supported Sherman in the National
Convention of 1888. The President
was Of the opinion that ought 10 be

Mr.. Clarkson said he thought Mr..
Carter would make good Chairman.
He was perfectly satisfactory to the
friends of Mr.. Blaine.
SAWYER AGAIN ASKED.
Before the committee resumed its
session at 3 o'clock Mr.. Sawyer was
asked again to take the Chairmanship.
But for his advanced age (he is seventy.
eight he would have accepted. Fin.
ally they all turned to Mr.. Carter and
insisted upon his taking the place.
Mr. Carter modesty held back, but in
the end yielded to the pressure. Mr.
Clarkson was asked to nominate Mr.
Carter, and consented, so the Blaine
wing is in sense responsible for MI
Carter's selection.
In presenting Mr.. Carter's name fol

HARRITY FOR CHAIRMAN.

The selection Of William F. Harrity
Of Philadelphia. and the present Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl.
vania to be the Chairman of the
National Democratic Committee. was
practically agreed upon before the
meeting on Wednesday. His rise to
the Craftsmanship of the Democratic
National Campaign Committee would
seem phenomenally quick to anyone
who has not studied his character and
attributes of leadership
Less than three years ago he was
the post master Of Philadelphia. His
political opponents were predicting
that he would never be heard of in
politics after he retired from that Of
nee. He was acknowledged to be the
leader of the local Democracy, but
1t was said that he owed his influence
to the men who were under him in the
Post Office, and that when he left that
Office he would loose his political
power.
Your man, Harrity," remarked a
United States Senator at Chicago, sis
being watched by the Democrats in
Washington closer than any other man
In the country. They believe that he
Ii bound to go to the 'front.'"
STILL RETAINED HIS LAW PRACTICE.
But while Mr.. Harrity has been so
rapidly forging to the front rank of
Democratic leadership he has had
other matters to occupy his time and
attention besides politics He has
never allowed politics to interfere with
his law practice or any other business
enterprises with which he NAV have
been identified. During the last two
years and half, while he has been
winning his greatest political successes,
he has also looked after his law bust
ness, helped materially to build up a
successful trust company and for the
greater part of that time filed the OF.

man VIM L. Scott. who was Mr..
Cleveland's personal representative in
Pennsylvania, andi, has been said that
he was the first man to call Mr.. Cleve-
land S attention to Harriy's political
sasacity. After Mr.. SCOTS death. Mr..
Ha-ri,y took his place in the Demo
cratic National Committee and also
succeeded him as Mr.. Cleveland's per.
sonal representative in this State. He
is probably almost as close to Mr..
Cleveland to-day as was Mr.. Scott
during the last half OF Mr.. Cleveland's
administration.
HIS FIRST POLITICAL FIGHT.
Mr.. Harrity's first political fgh, was
in 1882. At that time the Democracy
OF Philadelphia was split into two fac.
tions and there was also trouble in the
Republican party. Gov. Pattison was
then controller of Philadelphia He
and his friends thought there was a
chance of his securing the Democratic
nomination for Governor and, with 4

COi. NOrtOn'S Vasfe Gase.

Geo. W. Norton, Superintendent of the Mohawk Canal was in town Monday. He has invented and patented a most simple, novel and valuable self regulating waste gate to be placed in canals or ditches by which the surplus water in times of heavy rains, floods or high waters can be perfectly con trOiled, the machine or waste gate being acted upon by the water ill the ditch and Is kept in perfect control by this automatic acting gate. It is one of those inventions, the simplicity and value of which will commend it to every farmer taking water from canal or ditch, as well as to every irrig1ting com pany, by which they can regulate the flow of water and thus protect their property from dAmages from overfows.

New EIOnrfug Mill.

A movement is on foot to build
 roller Touring mill in the Mo
 hawk valley to be run by the water
 from the Mohawk canal. It Is es-
 timated that $35,000 per month is
 paid out for the article of flour
 alone in southern Arizona, oue-half
 of which could be supplied from
 Mohawk. provided that there was a mill at that point. Not less than $S,O00 is paid out for freight on flour, which would be saved to the people that such mill would sup ply. The plan Is to put up d small, but A No. 1 roller mill with all of the latest improvements, one that will supply all of the country
 west as far as the Colorado river north to Harqua Hala, Tyson's Wells and Ehrenberg and south to the gulf of California This would create ademand for wheat, 10000 acres of which can easily be pro duced in the valley of the Gila, Mohawk and other adjoining val leys. The railroa1 freight, and from 50 cents to $150 would be saved on every barrel of flour con sumed. The water used by the mill can be turned back into the canal and used for irrig gItion. The farmers could and would raise the wheat. The matter is in thA hands of practical men who purpose to put the scheme in shape in time so that the farmers can put in crop of wheat the coming season. Yuma will be the distributing de- pot for all points as far up the Colorado river as Aubrey. and down the river and gulf to St. Georges bay, San Felipe, San Juan and Rosalia bay. In the two lat ter places there are not less than 5000 people and soon there will be 2500 miners at work in the mines The mill will certainly be one of the best paying investments in Yuma county. It cannot be built too soon.
