No other plaster has been produced
which gains SO many testimonials of high
value as those continuously accorded to
Allcock's Porous Plaster, and the only
motive for these exceptional commenda-

Democrats, but if the Republicans vote
they will sustain the veto-'

that the Republicans will vote.

speaker, and Re commands in a very
rough tone:
Keep silent, so you can hear what
I'm going to say. | didn't think this
thing up to be thrown away while you
are talking! The Democratic party is
the fixed star, the Populist party the
comet. The comet is disappearing, and
