RINGING WORDS.
From A Prominent and Eminent Divin


 STATEMENTS THAT ARE TRUE AND STRAIGHT TO THE PoInr.-READ WHAT HE SAYS, FOR HIS WORDS ARE OF GREAT AND PEE oULIAR INTEREST.
 No one knows better than the faithful pastor the great value of sound physical and nerve strength. The strain upon brain and nerve, the physical exhaustion 1 following excessive work, the responsi- bilities and sympathies with affiictions and the myriad cares make the earnest preachers duties arduous and wearing in | the extreme.
 We do not wonder, therefore, at the strong and ringing words of praise which the eminent divine, Rev. c. D. R. Meacham, gives that most wonderful of medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. When he was run down in health, weak in nerves, prostrat- ed in strength and with his blood badly impaired, he was restored to sound and vigorous health by this marvellous health renewer.
 Here are the exact facts in his own words: ~''I am very glad to say in regard to Dr. Greene's great remedy that when my blood was badly impoverished by an old scrofula humor, and my nervous system was greatly impaired, Dr. Greene's medi- cine gave me wonderful relief.
 "At the present time my health is as good as at any time in my life, and my confidence in Dr. Greene's remedy is con- stantly increasing"
 Rev. c. D. R. MEAoHAM. Pastor Baptist Church, Townshend, Vt. l We bave unfinished the testimonials of vast numbers of people who were cured by the use of the great discovery, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem- edy, but we take more pleasure in giving to the world Rev. MT. Meacham's own words in regard to the wonderful benefits he received from this valuable remedy, because we realize that the earnest words of minister will have great weight with sufferers from disease, and everybody who reads his convincing words in regard to the sure and remarkable curative pow CTS of this medicine will lose no time in securing bottle and thus obtain a cure.
 It is purely vegetable and perfectly harmless, and is kept by all druggists at $1OO.
 Its discoverel is the well-known Dr. Greene of 35 w. 14th Street, New York who gives consultation and advice free to the sick, personally or by letter. The sick should use immediately Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, for ii is not only the best remedy ever discov- cred, but those using it have the privi. lege of consulting Dr. Greene concerning it's effects, their health, etc. This fact alone guarantees the assurance of cure. If you need medicine do not fail to take this best of all remedies.

FAIL TO DO THEIR DUTY.-Everybody has at times failed to do their duty to- wards themselves. Hundreds of lady readers suffer from sick headache ner- vousness, sleeplessness, and female trou- bles. Let them follow the example of Mrs. H. Herbechter, Stevens Point, Wis. who for five years suffered greatly from Nervous Prostration and sleeplessness
 tried physicians and different medicines without success. But one bottle of Dr.
 Miles Nervine caused sound sleep every night, and she is feeling like new per
 son. Mrs. Elizabeth Wheeler, Laramie City, Wyoming, who tried all other reme
 dies, declares that after three weeks use of the Nervine for Headache, Nervous Prostration, etc., she was entirely re
 lieved. Sold by w. D. Heald. Tria

Chairman Mckinley called the coz
vention to order at 1l:37 A. NJ. The con-
sideration of the report of the Committee
on credentials was resumed; no further
opposition was made to the majority re-
port and it was adopted; two delegates

announced that the next order of business
was the presentations of names for the
nomination for President; mighty cheer
went up from | 800 throats and the call oi
states began. When Colorado was called,
Senator Wollcot, of Colorado, mounted
the platform and in speech in which he
showed his personal feeling against Harrl-
son. nominated Blaine. His speech was
loudly applauded, and then the roll call
went on until Indiana was reached, when
NTJncle Dick" Thompson, of Indiana,
mounted the platform and in short
speech nominated Harrison, and another
tumult followed. When Michigan was
reached a spectator asked whats the

another tumult followed; pictures of Har-
rison and Blaine were carried through the
isles and then the convention settled into
"deep silence fer the voting. Alabama
started off with Is votes for Harrison,
for Mckinley and none for Blaine, which
was warning Of change OF program on
the part of the Quay Plat crowd; the
Pennsylvania delegation went out for

THE other evening we heard an ultra
Quayite assert that Harrison was nominat-
ed by the Souther States, but if he looks
at the ii CURES of the first, last and only
ballot taken, he viii or ought to change
his mind on that point.
Thirty .foUr votes from Illinois, thirty
four from Indiana, twenty from Iowa,
eleven from Kansas, eighteen from Massa-
chusetts, fifteen from Nebraska, twenty
seven from New York, eight from South
Dakota and 10 each from Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania ioes not look as though all
Harrison's strength came from the South.
And besides this as Harrison was the
second choice Of the majority of the Re
publicans of this State, he should have
received the vote of all its delegation after
Blaine was dropped, and would have, had
they acted for themselves and not have
been subservient to the will of another.

The Pennsylyania Delegation.

The Harrison mon in the dele CATION did
not break loose until Cha1no ey Depew
seconded the nomination of the President
Then when it seemed that the entire crowd
of l., 900 people had gone mad. Graham,
Magce, DiSton, Kuhn, Willard and a dozen
more PennsylvanianS joined in the ap-
plausn. Before the nomination speeches
were concluded the Harrison men had
demonstrated moro than once that they
were in the majority, aud some of the
Penusylyanians were talking of casting
the solid vote of the delegation for the
President. Disston was in favor of that
and tried to persuade Quay to do it. Dave
Martin said he thought he might get in
under the Harrison aag after all; but when
the roll call was ordered, Quay asked the
delegation to retire for consultation as to
how they should vote. The entire dele
CATION left tho hall with the exception of
Quay. lie remained behind to see how
the Mckinley stampede would work. He
is said 10 have caused to be circulated
among the Harrison States, the report that
Pennsylvania would vote solidly for Nc
Kinley.
While he was watching the result of the
ballOting the other delegates who were
outside were becoming inpatient to get
back to the hall. Quay sent word out to
them that he would soon be with them.
He said he was trying to get the drift of
the convention.
Magee and George Graham heard that
the ballOting was in progress, and they de-
clined TO wait for Quay, telling Chairman
Reeder TO record them for Harrison. They
returned to the floor of the convention
and Magee then heard that Quay had in
formed a number OF the Harrison leaders
that Pennsylvania was solid for Mckinley,
and he started off to deny the report. lie
visited every State delegation and told the
Harrison leader in it that the President
would surely get twelve votes in Pennsyl-
vania, and they would thus prevent the
Harrison men outside from going oyer to
Mckinley. Quay did not go out to join his
delegation until after Illinois had voted.
At the caucus, Quay told his followers
in the delegation that he thought the time
had come to drop Blaine and vote for Nc
Kinley. The delegates returned to the
convention just as Ohio was being polled
in its vote for Mckinley. Quay took fresh
hope and gave notice to all of his friends
to stand up for Mckinley. He was about
to order another poll of delegation when
Dave Martin told him he thought it would
have more effect on the convention to have
the secretary of the convention poll the
delegation.

since that time we have done our best.
We have put forward our ablest, our most

constant defeat. The only light which
illumines the sun of hope, the dark record
of those 12 years is the fact that, in 1SSS,
the State of New York was triumphantly
carried by President Harrison. He carried
it then as gallant soldier, wise Senator,
statesman who inspired confidence by
his public utterances in daily speeches
from the commencement of the canvass to
its close. He still has all these claims,
and in addition, an administration beyond
criticism and rich with the elements of
popularity with which to crrry New York

was also President of the United States, a
