The Demo-Pops are fond Of accus-
ing the Republicans Of turning over
to Cleveland government on the
verge Of being out Of funds. Nothing
is said OF the fact that 100000, 900 Of
the amount went to the reduction Of
the national debt, which brought the
annual interest payment down more
than $16, 900, 900, nor to the further
fact that under the present Cleveland
administration that debt has been in
creased until $S,0OO,OOO has been
added to the annual interest payment,
and another bond sale is already
assured.
Notwithstanding the payment Of
the enormous sum Of nearly one-third
Of the entire interest bearing debt Of
the government there remained in
the treasury more than 1925, 900, 900
Of surplus money when Mr.. Cleveland
took hold.
But they say that an issue Of bonds
was already determined upon by the
Harrison administration. How about
thatp Here is what ex.Secretary
Foster has to say about it;
ave had issued SO many treasury
notes for the purchase Of silver bull
ion under the Sherman act, that |
thought it would be wise to increase
the gold reserve from $10O,O00,000 to
sl25, 10000 believing that the credit
Of the government would be strength
ened thereby. After consultation
with the bankers OF New York found
that could sell bonds at per cent
for that purpose, and concluded to do
so. Therefore, instead Of acting
under the authority Of the resumption
law, which permitted the issue only
Of bond, bearing per cent interest
and upward, | requested from con-
gress authority to Issue 8 per cents,
and on February 20, 1898, Mr.. Sher-
man introduced an amendment to one
Of the appropriation bills for that
purpose. 1t was passed by the senate
almost unanimously.
Expecting that the house Of repre-
sentatives would concur in the action
Of the senate, | instructed the chief
Of the bureau Of engraving and print
ing to make a new design for bonds,
as we were still using those that had
been prepared under the resumption
act when Mr.. Sherman was secretary
OF the treasury, nearly fifteen years
before. But when the house refused
to concur in the per cent bond pro-
position | Cancelled the order when
the plates were only just begun. My
idea was to protect the gold reserve,
and not to pay the expenses Of the
government.
The running expenses were amply |
provided for and the debt was being
reduced. Expectation Of free trade
when Cleveland was elected at once
stopped imports and since that time
The country has run behind on ex-
penses from $25, 1000, 900 to S4S, 100000
year Cleveland has simply made
botch Of 1t and 1t needs Republic
IAN administration to set things
light. The official records show it
md only by talsehood can 1t be
lenied.

But like many other busy men, Mr..
LeSeur was overtaken by Rheumatism
and soon his strength gave way to
condition of helplessness. This dread
disease produces more agony, he says,
than can well be described. For
years / have suffered with Sciatic
Rheumatism and often felt as if
small piece of my spine had been
taken c..t, also as if a fragment of
bonbs'i2i1 had passed through my left
hip. When / would sit down, | could
not strengthen up for several minutes,
and then only at the expense of great
pain. 7 could get absolutely no relief,
though many remedies were tried.
Someone recommended S. S. S. and /
was almost III despair when began its
use. In three days, however, / was
so greatly relieved that / felt very
little inconvenience from the rheuma-
fism. The disease grew less painful
as ] continued the S. S. S., and very
soon disappeared entirely. S. S. S.
also proved to be fine tonic, as now
have more appetite, and feel better
than ever before, in my life. l cannot
SAY too much III praise of S. S. s"
Rheumatism is condition of the
blood which has always bafied the
doctors, and it is a popularity that
those who once have 1t are sure to al
ways be subject to its attacks from
time to time. The reason of this is
that the doctors are only able to give
temporary relief, but cannot rid the
system of the disease permanently.
S. S. S. guaranteed purely Uegetdblel is
the only real blood remedy for real
blood troubles, such as Rheumatism,
SScrofula, Cancer, Eczema, Catarrh,
letter, Contagious Blood Poison, etc.
When S. S. S. once forces a disease
from the system it never returns. Our

THE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CON
VENTION.

Yesterday was the day appointed for
the meeting of the Durham county Re-
publican convention. The faithful,
mostly black, were here in good num-
bers and they caucused and caucused
and caucused. That was all they did.
When the caucus was over dark
cloud came porting down the court
house steps and each one when asked
what had been done, replied, "Ad-
formed to October the 8th." But said
the reporter, HAS the Republican con-
yention ever metz" NO." respond
ed every one to this question. How
then did the convention adjourn to
meet the Sth of October when it had
never metz.
Caucuses seem to be the order of the
day and they are the curse of this
land. In caucuses are the Hberkies
of this people thwarted and traded
away. 1t is in secret conclave when
the light cannot be turned on that
bad, designing men do their devil
ment. But be it remembered that
this is not the only party in Durham
county that hides itself behind a eau

he will doubtless shed the light of
his countenance upon Durham. He
will come here to dictate to the good,
true, Hberty-loving free silver Popu-
lists as to whom they shall vote for
in the approaching contest. viii they
allow it? That is the question of the
hour. To surrender to the dictation
of Ohio Wilson means the election of
Settle. Are you for silver? Then turn
a deaf ear to Ohio Wilson. Do you
want gold standard in with Ohio Will
son and Settle?

true, will seriously compromise some
people who have been bowling for pro-
hibition. Developments will be given to

Yesterday at the various polling places
and all day long the registrars were
kept remarkably busy. An effort was
made to find out what number OF per-
sons was registered, but without eff
feet. In this county the registration
will be almost complete. Everybody
entitled to vote will register and the
trouble will be to keep the rascal who
is not entitled from registering and
voting. Look out.

OVER ONE HUNDRED LETTERS.
Chairman Manly Has Received so Many
in Two Days Endorsing Him-Iwo
Specimen Letters, One From
Editor Summerow and One
From Mr.. J. Allen Holt.

| From Mr.. j. Allen Holt.
Among over one hundred letters re-
| ceived by Chairman Manly during the
last two days endorsing the electoral
union between the silver forces, the
News and Observer is permitted to
publish two, one from an able editor
who formerly opposed the union, the
other from gentleman and scholar
in the quiet walks of life, respectively
Editor Summerow, of the Newton En-
terprise, and Mr.. j. Allen Holt, princi-
pal of the Oak Ridge Institute.
Mr.. Summerow's letter is as follows:
81 very much regret that pressure Of
work prevented me from joining the
Bryan party at Hickory, and I therefore
did not get to have the talk with you
that you spoke of. / was assured, at
the time, that it was impossible to
prevent electoral fusion and / did not
see how in the world ] could support
or lend it my influence.
''Then, [ saw through glass darkly.
Now l see face to face, and not only
endorse the acts of the committee in
the consummation of fusion, but I
propose to talk it, work for it and
present. it to my readers every week
from now until the last ballot is de-
posted in November. believe that
VIM. j. Bryan is our political Moses
and / propose for my vote and every
other that / can influence shall be de-
posted so it will be counted for him.
Before / examined into this matter
fully, thought there would be a sur
rendering of principles, but / see, after
a careful investigation, that this is
anything else but true. The word
Fusion" carried odium and contempt
with it in my sight, and it does yet,
when two fuse for spoils, but this, as
| take it, is fusion on principles and
I can endorse it cheerfully and heartily.
/ believe it helps the Demo
Gratis in every particular. / think it
makes our chances much better in the
State, and l think it helps our Con-
gressional district, and / know it
strengthens us in the country. Wishing
you much success in your great work.
Mr.. Hollis letter is as follows: ST
wish to say that while all along hold
ing views opposing the free coinage of
silver, / heartily endorse the action of
the State committee as to fusion and
firmly believe that our people could
unreservedly approve of Congressional
fusion. There is no reason in the world
why the voice of the State should not
be expressed in its Congressional vote,
as in its Presidential, and one may
prove to be as important and vital to
the cause as the other. / am for Bryan
because I believe he stands close to
the people and opposes the trusts. Go
ahead, the people are with you"

MARINERS AND TRAVELLERS.

Speak in high terms of the preventive
and remedial properties of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, medicine peculiarly
adapted to the wants of those called
on to experience the vicissitudes of
climate, the inclemency of the weather,
the hardships of sea-faring or out
,of-door life, or the dangers of a mala-
rial or otherwise pestilential atmos-
phere. A small quantity of this agree
able tonic nullifies Impurities in water,
and fortifes the stomach against the
consequences of an unhealthy or un-
accustomed diet. 1t also enables the
constitution to bear up unframed
against unhealthy climatic influences,
and the system to sustain, unimpaired
in health and vigor, the fatigues of
travelling. Emigrants, tourists, miners
and others who have thoroughly tested
the efficacy of the article, declare it to
be a sovereign preservative of health
under conditions most unfavorable.

Rheumatism.

The busiest and most useful men
are not always exempt from sickness.
Espccia1iy are they liable to be at
4acl1ed and completely disabled by that
most annoyMg and painful ailment-
Rheumatism. Men in all walks of life
are subject at any time to be seized
with this disease, and besides the great
bodily pain, there is almost unbearab1e
snenta1 anguish at the thought of hav-
ing ones strength and vigor gradually
-supp1anted by a condition of utter
she1plessness. Under the effects of
Rheumatism, the strongest men be-
come the weakest, and the most useful
are robbed of their usefulness.
Mr.. J. A. LeSeur has lived in At
1anta, Ga, for years, and some of the
lprettiest residences and most substan-
Sial business blocks of that city are
monuments to his skill as an architect
and builder.

THE GRAPHIC IS authorized to an nounce MT. c L. Gresham as a ean- didate for Represen tative, subject to the action of the Democratic pri- maries on April 28 Mr, Gresham is machinist in the employ of the Cotton Belt Shops, and shares the confidence of his employers and the respect and esteem of his co-laborers and friends. Prior to his removal to this city he held the position of Master Mechanic of the K. & A. V. Road at Van Buren, and has always held responsible positions, the duties of which he has discharged in a faithful manner. He is 6 sober, intelligent and industrious citizen, and in this canvass is the laboring mans candidate and friend. His candidacy is, therefore, deserving of consideration, and should he be nominated and elected he will care fully look after the interests of la- bur- as well as the other interests of the county. The people of the shops are good friends to Pine Bluff, and majority of them are earnest supporters of Democracy; therefore Mir. Gresham candidacy is worthy the consideration of the Democratic voters of the county. Should he be nominated and elected we doubt not that he would make capable and efficient public servant.

PR0F L. z. OIINN.

In the appropriate column in this issue will be found the announce ment of Prof L. l. Quinn as a can didate for Representative, subjeetto the action of the Democratic pri- maries on April 28. Prof Quinn is well kown to the readers Of the GRAPHIC and needs no elaborate in- trodaetion at oar hands. In 1893, when the DAILY GRAPHIC was launched upon the tempestuous and ftful sea of journalism, Prof Quinn was a member of it's staff in the ca pacity Of City Editor, position he successfully filled for over a year. He was a member of our staff der- ing the memora ble campaign of 1894, and did yeomanary= service for the Democracy of the county in that campaign in advocacy of the straight ticket, in which cause the GRAPHIC was an earnest champion and Prof. Quinn an earnest worker.
 By profession Prof. Quinn is an educator, as the prefix to his name implies, out receuty he has studied law and been admitted to the bar. Heis thoroughly acquainted with the educational needs of Arkansas, and by reason of his connection with the country schools of the State is thoroughly familiar with the wants of the farmers and agn- cultural interests.
 In short, it is admitted on all sides that Prof Quinn is one of the bestqualified men in the race forRep- resentatiye, and should he be nom- mated and elected, he would make legislator of whom our people could be ] justly proud. His candidacy is deserving of the sincere apprecia- tion of the people, and the GRAPHIC takes pleasure in commenting him to the Democratic voters of Jefferson county.
