New YORK, Oct. G.-Following the an
nouncement by Judge Charles f. Brown
of Newburg, that he declined the Demo
cratic nomination for the Office of Supreme
court Judge because he did not indorse
free silver, came the report that Nathaniel
II. Clement, also candidate for n similar
office, would decline likewise. When seen
last evening Judge Clement verified the
report, and said chat he had simply been
waiting for Judge Brown to take the in
itiative. The reasons for his declination
are substantially the same rs those given
by Judge Brown. He had believed at first
he said, that the nomination was non
partisan, as judiciary nomination should
be, but finding that national issues were
being raj sed in connection with it, he had
been forced to withdraw, as he could not
stand upon the Chicago platform.

Watson Shepherd has time and again re-
fused to meet Cong Brumm in a joint
debate, and now comes our own Wandering
Willie" with refusal to discuss the financial
question with young Miuersville bakcr by
the name of w. L. Locscr. Mr.. Wilhelm has
declared that he is ready to discuss the
question with any advocate Of the present
standard, but when his challenge is accepted
he brushes the matter aside by the assertion
that his challenger is outclassed that NT.
Locser doesn't understand the question at
issue sufficiently to discuss it intelligently
We have not the pleasure Of an acquaint-
ance with Wandering Willie's' challenger
but we do know that there are men work
ing in the mines to-day that can give
Wilhelm pointers on the financial question,
and can discuss the issue from a practical
standpoint which Mr.. Wilhelm does not. 1t
is a weak position that will not stand the
light Of discussion, and Wilhelm will realize
this when the returns are received on the
night Of November 3rd.

ONE DISEASE AND ONE REMEDY.

THE art Of painting" said Millais, Con
sists in selecting the right colors and putting
them in the right place THE way to win
a battle" said Napoleon, 'is to mass your
troops at the critical moment against the
weakest spot in the enemy's line. ."-"The
way to cure many ailments" said the great
Dr. Abercrombie, "is to purify the poisoned
spring in which they arise generally the
torpid and infamed digestive system"
Thus wisdom and experience simplify and
condensc Thus the Shakers Of Mount
Lebanon reasoned when they sought, and
finally found, a remedy for indigestion and
dyspepsia Where one person has something
else, they argued, a a'thousand have this. To
cure this alone will almost rid the world of
| sickness. Why should we vex ourselves
with confusing definitions? A good diges-
tion is life and health a bad one disease and
death. Hence, from the healing and stimu-
lating mountain herbs, they extracted the
principles which make the Shaker Digestive
Cordial the rarest and most effective of
medicines for one disease and one only
indigestion and dyspepsia.
DO you suffer from any of these miserable
feelings ?-depression of spirits heaviness
and pain in the stomach after meals, bad
taste in the mouth, wind in the bowels
irritable disposition, nervous weakness and
alarm, worry and weariness, costiveness or
irregularity of the bowels, nausea, palpita-
tion, sick headache, heartburn, loss of ap-
petite and sleep, dry skin, etc?
Don't indulge in fifty foolish fances. You
have indigestion and dyspepsia and nothing
else. Set the disordered stomach right with
the one medicine which will surely do it,
Shaker Digestive Cordial and these symp-
toms will vanish with their cause. A good
effect will follow the first doses, Even
chronic cases soon yield.
Test the cordial, at practically no cost, by
taking ten-cent trial bottle. For sale by
nearly all druggists.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, the Liberal leader in the house
of commons, speaking last night at Ebbw-
vale, expressed himself upon the Turkish
question for the first time since the pres

upon the government to grant security
and protection to the Armenians. The
Turkish government, he said, could never
be reformed until it ceased to exist. But,
he added, England could not act alone
but must cooperate with Russia, the
first step being to obliterate the Cyprus
convention by which the Island of Cypru:
was ceded to Great Britain.
