Turpentine in the Household.

Turpentine is the best friend
housekeepers have and a supply
should always be kept on hand. 1t
is good for rheumatism and soar
throat, and a quick remedy for fits
or convulsions. 1t is a sure preven-
tive against moths, a few drops rem.
dering garments safe from such
invasion during the summer. IT
drives away ants and bugs from cup.
boards and corners by putting a
few drops on the shelves. 1t effect.
ually destroys bugs, and injuries
neither furniture nor clothing. For
cleaning paint add spoonful to a
pail of warm water. A little in the
suds on wash day makes washing
easier.

THE EASTERN PRESS.

If the Eastern press has any logi-
cal reasons to advance why the
democratic platform is not a good
sound national document, and at
the same time point out the defects
and offer suggestions as to amend
ments, so far have centented them
selves with writing down the silver
democrats as: Bunco steerers, an
archists, fools, communists, rogues,
socialists, cranks, populists, der
wishes, repudiationists, thieves,
fagins, Jacobins, pirates, dema-
gogues, adventures, loafers, hum
bugs, hobos, frauds, etc.
Now if our brother want to edu,
cate the people in politics they
should drop their invectives and use
logic for awhile.

no promise to anybody to secure
his election. He is thus reported
by The St. Louis Republic of fyester-
day:
Mr.. Bryan has made no promises
to any living man. When the sun
goes down on election day he may
not be elected, but he will not leave
behind him a single promise.
1t would be easy enough to make
promises to the populists to secure
endorsement by this convention,
but Mr.. Bryan has made none and
will not make any. He has not
agreed to do anything in return for
any action this convention may
take.
He has not authorized me to
make any deal with the peoples
party. | do not like that word. He
has made no promises as to the be-
stowal of patronage in the event of
his election, and none will be made.
He is desirous of uniting the silver
forces, and will gladly accept the
support of all silver men, no matter
where they come from.
l hope the populist convention
will endorse Bryan and Sewall, and
since arrived here | have received
a good deal of encouragement of
that hope. 1t occurs to me that
everybody who believes in the free
coinage of silver can, with perfect
good grace and confidence, vote for
our nominees and thus assure the
restoration of bimetallism at the
earliest possible date.

in the chair, and Sam SoInSky as
secretary on the side.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and adopted.
The committee on bylaws and a
constitution governing the club re-
ported their work completed. Dur
ing the evening it was read over
twice, and with a few additions and
amendments, was adopted.
The bylaws called for additional
officers, and Hugh Corey was
placed in nomination and elected
vice president. Mr. James Cren-
shaw was nominated for sergeant
alarms, and would have been elect
ed, but Charley Phillips made an
appeal to substite the name of Joe
Johnson, his friend, saying that
Mr.. Crenshaw held a half dozen pO-
sitions in the club, and he thought
places should be parcelled out. His
suggestion had the desired effect,
as the one nominating Mr.. Cren-
shaw withdrew his name tor the
place, at the same time nominating
him for the position Of grand mar
shal to look after the parade. He
and Joe Johnson were both elected,
] N Crenshaw, one of the COM
mittee on arrangements, reported
everything moving smoothly. He
said the torches had arrived from

Mr.. Solinsky reported that he had
bought blank books to keep the
club business IN a business like
manner, and he had stood good for
the payment of the same. His
claim was filed with the finance COM
mittee.
President Munson said he had
sent a message to nominee Bryan,
the one ordered sent, of the clubs
formation, and that he had paid
for the same out OF his own pock
ct, but drew a voucher on the
treasurer of the old Cleveland and
Thurman club, and he wished his
action ratified. 1t was consented
to.
Speeches were called for and F NJ

speeches and brought down the
house several times with their SAL
lies of wit and good logical hits at

er to appoint Il finance committee,
and he said he would announce his
appointments through the press to
day.
Marshal Crensnlw said he would
confer with the West side club
and they would come to an UNDER

A committee consisting Of three
was appointed to wait on the mer-
chants and ask them to close at
