When wear begins to exceed
repair in your body you are going
to fall sick. The signs of it are:
loss of flesh, paleness, weakness,
nervousness, etc. Tho repair need
ed is food. You think you eat
enough, and yet you feel that you
wear out more tissue, energy,
nerve.force, than your food makes
for you. The difficulty Is that you
do not digest enough. And this is
so serious it is worth sitting down
seriously to think about. If you
can't digest what you eat, take a
few doses of Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. The effect of it will be to in.
crease your flesh and make you
feel stronger. You won't fall sick.
Proof that it is in control Of your
repair apparatus. It's easy enough
to test this for yourself. Take a
few bottles Of Shaker Digestive
Cordial.

selected by some body to be voted

held Oh the 9th OF this month, to

While we are committed to the

all aud have no objections to urge

selected in his interest, as a Dem

right to inquire by whom and by

1t seems that it is only necessa.
~, whenever the time approaches
for the convocati0n of conven-
ton, for a select coterie to meet to.

While there is no question of
doubt that any delegation that
could be selected, would zealously
support Mr.. Ariail, should he an
nounce himself as a candidate, as
long as his name is before the CON
veution, the Democrats of the Pa
IRISH have the right to know in adj
vance how their delegates will
vote as between the announced
candidates, in the event of the de.

SILVER IN INDIANA.
Democrats Declare for Free and Un-

INDIANAPOLIS, June 24-The Democratic convention met today at 10 o'clock. It is the. largest political assemblage held in the state in recent years, comprising 1,747 delegates. At least 75 per cent of these represent the ultra free silver wing of the party. Robert c. Bell of Allen county was unanimously chosen president of the convention. Chairman Bell was intro duced and made strong silver speech
 For the first time in the history of political conventions Indiana has fe- male delegate on the floor. She was Mrs. A. D. Leach of Sullivan. The gold men organized last night and the silver wing bolted. By a ruling on contests today the gold faction was de- feated. The following is the platform reported: we reaffirm OUT adherence to faithful Democratic doctrine of bi- metallism and therefore we demand the unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold as primary money at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting the coop eration of Great Britain or any other foreign power, all such coinage to be full legal tender, in payment of all debts, whether public or private"

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.
Delegates From Illinois to the Chicago
 Convention.

PEORIA, H., June 24.-The Demo- cratic state convention which met yes terday and nominated John F. Altgeld for governor, also elected delegates to the National convention
 The platform adopted declared for free coinage in the first plank. The money plank denounced the bond sharks of Wall street and all gold standard believers. It was loudly ap- plauded.
 The next plank declared for tariff for revenue only and denounced the Mckinley law. Interference of the government by injunction and by troops in local affairs was denounced as unconstitutional.
 The administration of Governor Alt geld was approved and commended in the highest terms; the revenue system of Illinois was pronounced a mon strosity which should be changed. An amendment to the federal laws was recommended for an income tax.
 The National delegates to Chicago were instructed to support only such candidates as would be in sympathy with this platform. The delegates large were also instructed to vote as a unit. e'
