To W. H. Harvey, Esq, East st. Louis, Ills:
DEAR SIR-The business mems league
invites you to hold your debate with
Hon. Roswell e. Horr in this city. We
are sure you would wish to have it take
place on neutral ground and st. Louis is
especially suitable because of the divis-
ion of local feeling and the
very strong following on both
sides. Our newspapers have an
enormous circulation among the people
you are specially desirous of reaching.
and for this and for many other reasons
this city is exceptionally we'll adapted
for the purpose.
If Mr.. Horr and yourself agree upon
ST. Louis, we shall have much plea
sure at placing at your dis
posal the large hall at the
exposition building, which will accom-
modate 5000 people, or the smaller han.
We shall also ask you to consider your
selves our guests while in St. Louis.
We have written Mr.. Horr as to this
matter, and hope you will both favor ST.
Louis for the debate. Yours, truly,
SAM NJ. KENNARD, President.

CITY REFORMERS MEET.
The Work of Women Made n Subject for
Praise.

The Work of Women Made Subject for
Praise.
CLEVELAND, o.. May 29-The NUM-
cipal league convention was called to
order this afternoon. There was large
number of delegates in town. Prior to
the opening of the convention the board
of delegates held business session.
The feature of today's proceedings was
paper by Clinton Rogers Woodruff,
secretary of the national reform league.
Mr.. Woodruff after discussing the sue
cess of the movement in various cities,
said: mo account of municipal reform
progress would be complete without
a reference to the increasing ac-
tivity and cooperation of woman. They
are rapidly coming to the front both in
their own organizations, like the health
protectective associations or women's
clubs, and in organizations like the civic
federation of Chicago, composed of men
and women. We find them contributing
largely to the study of the complex
problems of the cities.
There are few communities which
now heve the right of munich
pal suffrage; hence their ac-
tivity is of necessity limited to
educational and agitatory efforts and
looking after the details of municipal
housekeeping. Wherever their efforts
have been properly and persistently di-
rected in these channels substantial re-
suits have been accomplished, for in these
directions women have exceptional capa-
city.
"Back of all the diversity of FORMS"
the speaker continued, "we see sturdy,
resolute determination to remove the
stigma that is resting upon American
municipalities. 1t is the spirit of 1916
and 1860 manifesting itself in a new way.
Some of the efforts are crude; some
destined to failure; all to temporary
defeats, but as surely as our independ-
ence was won and the union preserved,
just so surely will the evil of municipal
misgovernment be eventually conquered
and American cities placed where they
should be-in the very front rank of well
governed cities.
''What the coming year may have in
store for the movement cannot be fore
told, but of one thing we are assured
the whole question mas come to be dis
cussed as never before, and its import
ance has been brought home to large
number of those VINO value their pOliti-
cal heritage and those interested in their
country's highest development
"SOmething more than this is nece5-
sary-a deep seated determination to sac
ritice everything, if need be, rather than
and reputation transmitted to US
by our forefathers to be diminished
or tarnished by selfish incompetency and
inefficiency. The present situation may
not be so dramatic as that of 1916 or of
1869, but it is equally as portentous to
the future welfare and maintenance of
our republican states"

A Dollar Went Further in Those DAVIS.


A wag, when told that George Wash
ingtoA threw dollar over the natural
bridge of Virginia, replied that dollar
went further in those days than now.
The wag, though witty, was wrong; for
a dollar never went so far as now, if it
be invested in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery, which is universally ac-
knowledeed to be aspecihc for consump-
ton and all wasting diseases. The nu-
tritive properties of COD liver oil are
trifing when compared with the results
that follow the use of the ''Dlscovery."
DR.. R. P. Pierce, Buffalo, N Y: Sir
About the year 1880 I was attacked with
q severe hacking cough. I took medi-
cine from different doctors for two years
without much benefit. Ny cough grew
worse, and the doctors said I had con
sumption. | had hemorhage from the
lungs, and coughed upa great deal Of
phlegm. After reading of. the many
cures effected by Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. !. I procured two bot
ties, and before I had finished using the
first, was able to walk about the house,
and to go out, I was soon able to delight

| In their last national convention, the
Republicans adopted plank for their
platform which reads as follows: The
American people, from tradition and in
terest, favor bimetallisn, and the Re-
publican party demands the use Of both
gold and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under some provi-
sions1 to be determined by legislation, as
will secure the maintenance of the pari-
ty of values Of the two metals; that the
purchasing and debt-payiDg power Of
the dollar, whether of gold, silver or pa
per, shall be at all times equal. The in
terests of the producers of the country,
it's farmers and workingmen, demand
that every dollar, paper or coin, issued
by the government shall be as good as
any other. We commend the wise and
patriotic steps taken by our government
to secure an international conference to.
adopt such measures as will insure pur-
ity of value between gold and silver for
use as money throughout the world"
What does this mean? Does it imply
that such sentiments are merely to lie
used for convention platforms to catch
the, ear and sympathy Of a distressed
people CT does it mean that the Repub
lican party actually stands for justice to
silver as we'll as to gold? Does it mean
what it says, or does it imply that the
Republicans throughout the land should
applaud the glittering generalities of
Grover Cleveland whenever he talks
about the illusions of debased cur
Sency? Grover Cleveland stands for
gold as the only safe standard of money,
and are we to believe that he is right,
and that the Republican representatives
at Minneapolis we're wrong? These are
questions that must be met squarely land
they will be, we hope, by the party Of
Lincoln, Sumner and Blaine. The siren
voices of the great daily papers are do
ing their best to lead the party away
from the principles adopted at Minnea-
polls, and with the politicians they may
succeed, but hardly with the people, who
are made to feel daily that something is
wrong with the financial system Of the
people.

1t does Minnesotian good to read
the comments of some of the leading Jour
mails Of the country on the suggestion
that Senator Davis become a presi-
dental candidate for 1896. The New
York Times and Milwaukee Sentinel are
prominent among these journals and in
lengthy editorials reasons are given why
Davis would be a candidate who would
win the hearty respect of all honorable
Americans, even though, ON questions of
national policy, they may be forced to
oppose him. The vigor and directness,
which most politicians exclude from
their discussion of burning questions
but which Senator Davis brought to beal
upon the Debs imbroglio, are cited as
typical of the man and his speech in the
senate on the same subject is credited
with being not only sound in sentimen,
and irrefutable in argument, but marked
by simple and noble eloquence worthy
of the best days of the senate. A few
more words of praise like this, and oul
own brilliant son will indeed become {
formidable candidate.
