Letter from Ronceyerte.

Our Bryan Club here is holding its
own against the strong Republican in.
iiuences we have to contend with, and
no Democrat can be named in this Dis
trict who will vote for Mckinley. The
Republicans here rarely turn out to
hear Democrat speak and thev flee
from the propriety of Joint political
discussion as they would from the
wrath to come, for publicity of debate
and the search-light of truth are the
weapon that they we'll know will kill
their cause. They prefer to mislead
the voters, for otherwise thew are
doomed to defeat. Hon. Thomas II.
Dennis addressed our Club last FRIDAY
night, a number of ladies being pres
emit. 1t was the most elaborate and re-
garded by the members as the most
instructive speech that has been dellv-
cred before the Club, which by q vote
thanked him for his cable and unan-
swerable argument. So pleased with
this logical speech were many present
that they gathered around the speaker
to express their strong approval and
congratulations. The Club desires it's
publication in full in the INDEPEN-
DENT, knowing that it's perusal by the
people will edify and convince, espe-
cially the arguments made and the fig
ures used from reliable statistical
sources. RONCEyERTE,

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 it's 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-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in it's curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.

manifested any desire to escape.
He has on two other occasions taken
excursions out into the open. One OF
these was quite extended.
DR.. McGeachey is said TO have denied
the report of the escape yesterday al
ternoon, and to have said that Davis
was in the Asylum, "well and hearty"
The Asylum was telephoned last
night, but there was no answer to the
call.
