The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutionaI treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The prOprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred

In Alabama,

The Democratic party il the same old
gang in Alabama. For the past two
elections in that State, it has been well
known that the Democrats were out
voted. Honest Democrats do not hest
tate to admit this fact, but they are in
control of the machinery and do the
counting:
An election was held there last Mon
day for governor. At this writing the
returns are not in, but Democrats
claim the election by from 10000 to
10000 majority. The strange freak of
the Alabama elections is that in white
counties where fraud cannot be perpe-
trated, the POpulists out vote the DEM
ocrats and carry the counties. In black
counties the Democrats arin (?)-are
overwhelmingly victorious. This is
admitted by the Associated Press
| which says:
Reports from the State are to the
effect that everything passed off quiet
ly. In many localities light vote
was pOlled. All the black belt counties
have given round Democratic MAORI
ties"

Under the Free Silver Flag.

Philadelphia Item
The action of the POpulists, yester-
day. makes William j. Bryan the
nominee of the Chicago Convention
the candidate of all friends of free Sill
YER.
Mr.. Bryan now heads the Demo-
cratic, the Populist and the Free Sill
yer r epublcan tickets. Thus, upon
the Presidency all friends of the
white metal are solid, and the refusal
of the POpulists to endorse Arthur
Sewall. the Democratic nominee for
Vice President, will pot materially
effect his vote in the Ststes which are
to decide the contest.
The Republican party, with its
single>gold standard, is IN vast MI
nority in this country, and November
next will see it badly beaten, for It's
refusal to give relief to the masses
and its blind subserviency to tht
money power.

CHAIRMAN JONES LIES.
Ee Makes q Slanderous Statement Con-
corning Delegates at st. Louis.


Chairman Jones of the national
Democratic committee has gone to
lying already. He is in some con-
fusion about the Democratic platform
saying that certain things are left
out, and that certain things ought to
90 in-as passed by the convention;
and it will probably not be long be-
fore the platform will mean moth
ing.
And now this chairman Jones is talk
ing big and lying straightout:: We
present some extracts from an inter-
firmed.
eve all know that we are going to
have either Bryan and Sewall or Nc
Kinley and Hobart. The best men
and most intelligent of the POpulist
party will vote for Bryan and Sewall.
That section of the Peoples Party that
is actuated by patriotism will vote for
| free silver, and when they find that the
Populist Party, which was organized
to bring about free silver, and which
they Joined with that object in view
is forsakipg it's mission they will come
back to the Democratic party.
81 found while at st. Louis, that the
Populists of the North and West were
generally brOad-minded and patriotic
men. There were some of the SAM
sort among the representatives from
the South, but as d general rule tn
Southern delegates were not credita

while in St. Louis that they wer
out for nothing but spoil. They sail
that there was nothing in it. for theI
to endorse the Democratic nominee:
and this same spirit will dominat
,, their actions in the future. The
will do all that they can to harras
the Democracy and create confusion
and in the end they will do just as the
are doing now in Alabama, fuse wit
