On Wednesday the Stewart free silver
bill came up in the House. The silver
men resolved to force the lighting and
make the engagement decisive on the
silver question. SO they resolved to
adopt the usual cC urse of voting
against the previous question on the
adoption of the special rule allowing
the bill to be called up. If defeated it
would be regarded as lost vote. If
they succeeded in defeating the pre-
ViOus question they would Of
or an amendment to the rule permit
ting amendment to the bill to cover
objections made in the caucus. On
roll Call the, vote stood 1853 to l29 IN
favor of ordering the previous question,
and the clerk then proceeded to call
the absentees. The previous question
having been ordered action came up on
its adoption. This was defeated, I3G
yeas. and l54 nays.
This ends all Possibility OF silver

unanimously:
We, the Republicans of the sixth dis
tTicG OF Iowa in convention assembled
viewing with pride the unparalleled

elevation of the home. .Jhe workshop anC

economically administered, resolve
That we heartily endorse the Minnea
polls and Des MOines platforms, and
the national and state tickets of the
Republican party, and pledge Oul
hearty and utmost support of said can
didates and the nominee Of this con-
ventiOn.
That we endorse the honorable and
worthy record of Mai. John +. Lacey
in the 5lst congress.
That we believe that in this field of
the civil law there is to be found at all
times, under courageous officers, the
amplest protection OF all interests what
sOeVer and therein all effJrts should be
devoted for the proper and peaceful
arise. But should the time arise when
the civil authorities are unable to main
tain the public peace, then the legally
constituted military authority of the
state and nation should be called Oh,
rather than private organizations Of
armed force.
On motion by Rev. j. b. Clements,
of Jasper, the rules of the convention
were suspended and Msjor Lacey was
nominated by acclamatiOn.
II. L, Waterman, of W8pelln, DR..
Gorrell, of Jasper, and n. E Kendall,
of Monroe, were appointed to escort
Major Lacey to the platform On his ar
rival he was introduced by Chairman
Manning as the next representative in
congress from the Sixth district and
was greeted with three cheers. He
thanked the convention in few wOr Is
for the honor and was followed by J..
e. Blythe. of Mason City, chairman of
the state central committee, who ad-
dressed the convention.
Mr.. Clements, of Jasper. made capi-
tai speech, as also did Rev. Phillips, of
Wapello. Both are cOlored men and
spoke spleDdidly.

gsnized by selecting Ii. l.. Waterman,

The London Graphic, one Of the

twenty four hours after the Chicago
platform had been cabIed to England
"Englishmen will watch Mr.. Cleveland's
campaign with cordial sympathy, for not
only is his tarid policy in accord with the
orthodox economic school of England, but
his party platform wisely condemned the
arrogant and irritating foreign policy of

HEADACHE AND DYSPEPSIA.
William E. Rockwell, No. 5l2 West
57th Street, New York, says:
81 have been martyr to bilious
headache and dyspepsia. Any indis-
cretion in diet, overfatigue or cold,
brings on a fit of indigestion, followed
by headache lasting two or three
days at time. think l must have
tried over twenty different remedies,
which were recommended as certain
cures by loving friends, but it was no
use. at las l thought would take
simple course of purgation with
Brandreth's Pills. For the first week
took two pills every night, then one
pill for thirty nights; in that time l
gained three pounds ia weight, and
never have had an ache or pain
since"
Disease in one part of the body will
eventually fill the whole body with
disease. Every year or two some part
of the system grows weak and begins
to decay. Such part should be removed
at once, and new matter be allowed to
take its place. There's no need of cut
ting it out with a surgeons scalpel.
Purge away ths cid, diseased and worn
out parts with Brandreth's Pills.
