GEN. LEW WALLACE KISSED.
An Untimely Attack on Cleveland's
Pension Policy and a Fling at
Ex-Confederates.

LAFAYETTE, IND, July General
Lew Wallace struck a discordant note
at the Grand Army rally to-day by at
lacking, in the course of his speech,
the pension policy of the administra-
ton and referring to the election of
President Cleveland as the worst blum
der in American history. The speaker
declared that by that election the
North lost all it won during the war,
and made a vicious attack upon Hoke
Smith. In concluding he declared
that the erection of monuments to
Confederates, especially Jefferson Da-
Wis, should not be tolerated. The ad-
dress provoked severe criticism and
the speaker was Missed by a portion
of his audience. Governor Matthews
sat within a few feet of the speaker
when Wallace made his onslaught on
the Democratic party. Local Grand
Army men are indignant that General
Wallace should have taken advantage
of a non-political gathering to gratuiti-
ously insult the Governor of the
State and other Democratic guests by
making a Republican TRADE.

G. h. Lipe, of Cripple Creek, at the

not enthusiastic or excited, but very
matter of fact.

ton will give s250,0o0 to the Demo-
cratic National Committee in the
event of the nomination of Bland or
any other straight silver man. he
said. There's no need of silver ora
tors in Colorado this fall. Wen take
care of that State. We intend, how
ever, to send Senator Teller andothers
down East this year."
Mr.. Lipe is interested in gold bear
ing mining properties in Cripple Creek

THE PLAN.
Gen." Coxey Says @Populists viii
Not Sacrifice Eternal Principles"

MAssILLoN, o., July 81. 8. Coxey
returns from what Capt. Crawford
calls the Hwild and fuzzy Westr to say
that the Populists will not sacrifice
their principles, which are eternal and
more important than just free silver,
and to propose this way out:
"Let the PopuIists and Democrats of
the various States agree upon electors,
apportioning them to each party, ac-
cording to the latest vote, and both
parties voting for this one electoral
ticket, while maintaining distinct their
separate party organizations and party
tickets, and last, carrying on a sepa-
rate campaign after its own fashion.
When the Electoral College meets,
the party which has cast the largest
vote would receive the full electoral
vote for President, and the other
party would be entitled to the Vice.
President. This seems to me to be the
only possible way to effect a combina-
ton of the silver forces. Whatever
the Democratic party may do at Chi
cage, the Populist party will enter into
no combination that involves even the
temporary disruption of its organiza-
ton or the sacrifice of any part of its
platform"

AS a soothing and strengthening

DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
unequaled and is invaluable in aliay-
ing and subduing nervous excitability,
irritability, nervous exhaustion, ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria,
spasms, Chorea, or st. Vitus' Dance,
and other distressing, nervous symp-
toms commonly attendant upon func-

The first step towards creating a
good complexion by natures own
method is to get the blood clear, and
the circulation free and active. There
is no complexion 30 sallow, muddy or
pimply but it will be cleared and
frightened by DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the best nat
ural complexion-maker on earth. 1t
sends the fresh glow of real health to
the cheeks by thoroughly clearing all
bilious and eruptive humors out of
the blood. 1t strengthens the digest
ion and regulates the bowels in a mild,
natural way. 1t gives brighter color
to the blood, and not only beauties
the complexion but makes the eyes
