While in Topeka last March, f. T.
Barber, a prominent newspaper man
of La Cygne, Kas., was taken with
cholera morbus very severely. The
night clerk at the hotel where he was
stopping happened to have a bottle OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy and gave him three
doses which relieved him, and he
thinks saved his lie. Every family
should keep this remedy in their
home at all times. No one can tell
how soon it may be needed. 1t costs
but a trilie and may be the means of
saving much suffering and perhaps
the lite of some member of the family.

A WESTERN MAN.
New York Politicians Coming TO Their
Senses-Bland or Morrison.

o'BIien Moore in the St. Louis Republic.
The editor of one of the most in
fluential and widely circulated
Democratic newspapers in the inter.
ior of New York State spent several
days this week in Washington. h
is a keen observer of current events,
a student of politics, and has been a
delegate to the last four Democratic
National conventions. He is a very
warm personal friend and political
supporter of Roswell Pettibone
Flower, the present Governor ofNew
York State. Before coming to
Washington he spent a couple OF
days at Albany and was a guest at
the executive mansion. He told me
that be urged Flower to become a
candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for the Presidency in '96,
but that Flower declined, giving as
a reason that he stood no chance of
receiving the nomination. My ed
itorial friend told me that Flower
said to him that the youngest child
in New York State would not live
long enough to see another Eastern
man President of the United States.
Here is what my friend quotes
Flower as saying:
"The Eastern politicians have not
acted wisely during the past 25
years. If they had nominated a
Western mar occasionally the West
and South, now that they have the
power, would not be liable to draw
the line against the East"
1.-The repeated nomination OF
Eastern men for the Presidency has
angered the West, and the alliance
between the West and South gives
those sections absolute control in a
National Convention, and | am
quite sure that they will not fol
some time in the future either toler,
ate or permit the nomination of an
Eastern man. The best that | OIL
any other New York man can hope
for in 1896, would be the Vice
Presidential nomination. | am Sc
thoroughly convinced of this that
have considered it futile to make AZ
effort to secure the chief place OF
the ticket"
My editorial friend asked Gov
ernor Flower who he thought would
he the likeliest man in the West 70
the Democrats to take up.
The Governor named VIM. r. Nor
rison, Richard P. Bland, Don NJ
Dickinson, William F. Villas, Johl
G. Carlisle and ex Governor Camp
bell of Ohio, named their strength
records, popularity and running ca
pacity. He came to the conclusion
that Morrison was the stronges
man, had the largest following an,
would be the most popular candi
date at the polls. He recalled tn
fact that Morrison was a veteran G
two wars; the pioneer of tariff re
form; that sectionally, his location
was ideal; that he was sound on a
the great questions OF the day tina
he would run in the East as well a
an Eastern man, and perhaps ruI
better in the West than Clevelan'
did in 1892.
i Governor Flower thought tina
Colonel Morrison could be electe
President, and, according to my ed
torial friend, he was not at all AYERS
J to accepting the second place on til
! ticket with him.
