Read Bryan on Party Obligation.

From a letter of w. J. Bryan t.
George a. Garden, Of Dallas, Ter
as, dated FEB. 18Th, 1861
In June, 1895, / was discussing
the silver question at Jackson, Miss,
when a gentleman in the audience
asked me if / would support a gold
standard candidate on a gold stand.

vention should nominate such can.

not believe the Democratic party
would take such action, / would re-
fuse to support the nominee in the
event that it did select gold stand
ard candidate on a gold standard
platform.

I deny the right of a convention
to depart from the principles as
taught by the party Of the past, and
then attempt to bind those who shall
participate in the hope of holding
the party to its ancient position. In
other words, if q Democrat attends
convention for the purpose of OBJ
tanning a reafirmation of Democrat
ic faith and finds that the conven-
ton repudiates the conditions of the
party and announces an entirely
new policy, he is not, in my judg-
ment, bound to support such new
policy. If tariff reformers, for in
stance, attend the convention eX-
pecting an Endorsement Of tariff re-
form, they will not be bound to sup
port a candidate who believes in a
tariff, even il he should be nominal
ed by Democratic convention upon
a platform declaring that the McKin-
ley bill represents the Democratic
idea upon the tariff question.
X x
Mr.. Cleveland would not support
a free silver candidate for the presi-
dency, and he should not do SO if
he really believes that free coinage
wonld ruin the country, because a
mans duty to his country is higher
than his duty to his party.

A Bachelors Reflection.

Praying for a husband doesn't
take the place Of watching him.
Men who think they know too
much to get married. generally don't
know enough.
Some women don't dress for their
husbands for fear they might not
feel at home.
Men would have more respect for
babies if they believed they really
understood the language women talk
to them.
Tailor-made gowns may have lots
of style about them, but the average
man likes the women best who wears
something soft and fuzzy around her
neck.

The Proper Time,

When the most benefit is to be deriv-
ed from a good medicine is early in the
year. This is the season when the tired
and weakened organs and nervous sys-
tenn yearin for building up medicine
take Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait
for the open spring weather and, in fact,
delay giving attention to their physical
condition so long that long siege of
sickness is inevitable. To rid the sys-
tenn of impurities accumulated during
the winter season, to purify the blood
and invigorate the whole system, there
is nothing equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Don't put it off, but take Hoods Sarsa-
parlla now. 1t will do you good. Read
the testimonials published in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all from reliable
grateful people. They tell the story.
