Cleveland Writes Another Letter on the
Clay King Matter.
MEMPHIS. Sept. 1S.-Frank P. Poston,
brother of David Poston, the victim of Col.
Clay King, addressed letter recently to
Grover Cleveland strongly deprecatine the
letter the ex-president wrote to Kings
niece. and saving his action would in all
probability cost him votes in Tennessee.
In a reply of considerable length. after
expressing surprise at the interpretation
given the letter he sent Mrs. White, MIR.
Cleveland saws: Have you and tho others
who are inclined to criticize my action re-
tleoted upon the fact that my letter was
written in response to the pitiable plea of
an appa emily broken hearted woman?
Have you or any of my critics overlooked
the fact that l absolutely declined
to interfere with the governor in
behalf OF King? Has it entirely escaped
your attention that the letter was written
simply and solely from sympathy which
evsrv true man ought to feel for woman
in distress? In response to your sugges-
tion that my act may result in the loss of
democratic votes you will pardon me if I
say that when political expedienoy forces
mo 10 be diScourteous to n distressed wo-
man am prepared to retire from politics."

think Of this2 The registration of voters
in Mississippi under the new constitution
shows but 76,742 voters, instead of 257, POS,
which is the number of males over 2t years
of age. This reduction has been accom-
plished by excluding the negro voters.
Washington has as many legal voters with
two senators and two members of Congress.
Mississippi has seven members Of Congress
and two senators. Mississippi's 76,742 vot-
ers will give Cleveland nine electoral votes.

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
First and foremost and above all things,
it purifies the blood. Not only in March,
April, and May, when the sarsaparillas claim
to do good, but all the year round, it cleanses,
renews and invigorates the system, rouses
every organ into healthful action, and drives
out blood -pOisons of every name and natur5.
For the worst forms Of Scrofula, the most
stubborn Skin and Scalp Diseases, such as
Salt-rheum, Eczema, letter, Erysipelas, and
all diseases or disorders caused by a torpid
liver or impure blood, nothing can equal it
as remedy.
