CATARRH CAN BE CURED.
Or. [. Pearce Coates, the Celebrated Norfolk
Specialist, will Treat the Loathsome
Malady hY Mail

A new departure in the treatment of Ca
tarrh and diseases of the Nose, Throat and
Lungs, has been inaugurated by Or. L..
Pearce Coates, the famous Norfolk Special
list, in those branches
Hereafter he will treat by mail all suffer-
ers from Catarrh who cannot take frAat 40
ment at his Office in n orfolk, Va, at the sss
Of IS per month. This low charge willsss

IF you suffer from Catarrh send ter aws

of the symptom blank, properly filled out
and So cash, will diagnose the case ant FUR

to do this for S. per month until the patent

convention of sixty. II is evident that It
will be a very close fight, but on the out
side it is believed that McDade will win.
So confident are his friends that they
announce positively that he has the NOM
instion now.
The latest acquisition TO his side is Sam
Newman of the Forty-first District. New
man is friend of Sam Rainey and can
carry his district solid. This alliance,
however. does not carry with it the entire
Rainey strength. Eddy Graney has
grudge against McDade. who, he says,
failed to give him tw o places in the Sheriff's
Office. as he had promised to do, and thus
far all efforts to placate him have been
in vain. McDade's friends have been
working on the stubborn little horseshOer
OF the Fire Department for several days,
but without apparent Roadway. Here
again crops out the fact that the Rainey
faction is divided il some Of the fig hts and
that the solid phalanx of which so much
has been said is not solid at all.
The contest for Supervisor of the
Twelfth Ward promises to be lively one
before the convention, and the outcome is
yet doubtful. 1t has formed the subject
for more than one discussion at Sam
Rainey's Busiest headquarters, where
such sturdy henchmen as Marion Wilson,
Ned Lannigan, Charley NcCOurtney and
others gather to hold caucuses. There
are so far four candidates 10 the field, and
a prospect of several more before Mon
day. In his efforts to get control of the
supervsorial nominations Rainey is some
what puzzled by the Twelfth.
1t is asserted that Tom Rivers was slated
for the nomin alton, and Marion Wilson is

and In the platform OF the recent Democra tic
Stale convention in San Francisco We ap-
prove the administration of the National Gov.
eminent by our wise and patriotic President
Grover Cleveland, and We believe that when
his term OF public service is ended he will hold
place in the hearts OF his countrymen eouaied
only by the exalted position which will be given
him by the impartial historians 10 the annals of
his country. We condemn The extravaganza OF
the present Republican State government, and
we believe that If that sound De mocrat and
faithful pubic servant, E. B. Pond, had been
the incumbent of the Governors chair lie won Id
have saved more than a million OF dollars in
taxes 10 The people OF this State
We invite the closest scrutiny OF the present
administration OF the city government with the
confident assertion thai it has been efficient
and faithful. We hall with especial satiufac-
ton the presence OF a surplus In the clty's
finances al The expiration of the past fiscal wear,
and we commend The Board OF Supervisors for
the economical and busuess-lIke management
OF the citys funds, which with decreased rev.
enues and Increased expenses has enabled 1t to
reach gratifying results.
The experience of the last year has abund.
antly shown The feasibility Of carrying on the
city government with due observance OF the
needs of the city aud In an efficient manner
within the dollar limit of taxation, which has
now become a part OF our unwritten municipal
law. We pledge our nominees for Supervisors
to adhere 10 the principles OF economy and
SOUND management In the expenditure OF publ lie
money and TO limit the tax levy for city and
county purposes, exclusive OF interest and
sinking funds and of the taxes for the con-
struclon of the new City Hall and the main.

ton aud The cost of repavIng Market street
In permanent and durable manner from the
ferries 10 Ninth street with substantial con-
crete bed and surface OF bitumen or small
basat rocks laid In cement.
We demand material reduction IN the rates
charged 10 the ratepayers of the city for the
use and consumption of water, and we favor
and approve the basis of settlement OF this
vexed question that was proposed In February
last IN The Board of Supervisors, namely. that
rates be fixed at such figures as VIII yield to
the company It's running expenses and taxes,
interest on its bonded Indebtedness and dyi-
deDd of per centum per annum on Its capital
stock. We think that arrangement, Ia view of
the certainty OF the Investment and the assured
nature OF the business OF the company, Is just,
fair and equitable TO all the parties In interest,
and we pledge our Supervisors TO adopt it as
the policy of The board and as a permanent
principle and critic ron for fixing water rates.
We think that the rates charged for gas are
too high and that they ought to be reduced,
we pledge our nominees for Supervisors to make
a fair reduction 10 the same; and
WHEREAS, The question of electric lights Is
one of immediate practical interest to the resi-.
dents and taxpayers of this city and county,
and valuable privileges and emOluments have
been rec ived by the propretors of these en-
terprises from the municipality, 1t Is the sense
OF this convention that IN the matter of electric
lights every effort should be made within the
limit OF the law TO secure reasonable and mod
crate rates TO our people.
Resolved, That in aid Of the commercial nd
mercantile interests and to avoid unnecessary
delays and needless expenses, we earnestly
favor such amendments to the insolveDt act as

will crack it.
Rivers, in addition to this handicap, has
formidable opponents. His closest rival
and the one be most fears, is Henry

lev district. Then. a close next is Tom
Parker. the real estate man. and on
Wednesday night II. 81. Black declared
himself as out for the Office. Other aspir-

that is why Rainey is anxious. If the

The temperature in Union Hall last
night was up to the swelteIing stage, and
the 600 delegates 10 the Democratic con-
.Venuon put in number of very uncom-
Portable hours. They stayed at their
posts, though, and were brought to a full
realization of the magnitude of the work
before them. 1t took several hours to
call the roll. and this will have to be done
many times before the convention CON-
petes its labors. 1t is evident the final
Into next week, if then.
The work Of toe night was the adoption
OF the report Of the committee on platform
and resolutions, and the nomination of
four Superior Judges. The platform
caused discussion which delayed matters
considerably, but was finally adopted
The committee had inserted plank pledg-
ing the Supervisors TO cut down the profits
of the Spring Valley Water Company, SO
that they would not exceed per cent on
the investment. Delegate Wellin objected
that the plank was not strong enough.
He wanted the convention to reduce the
amendment to that effect.
A reduction of that sort would not have
decreased the receipts of the company, and
consequently the tax on the people, as
much as the committees report would have
done. and this was pointed out to Welin,

the purchase of sites and the erection of suit

branch police stations in different parts OF the
city, at total cost of not TO exceed S150.000.
And We authorize our Supervisors TO go outside

The charges for shorthand reporting ID all
Ine courts OF this city and county are Excess
