From every corner OF the country
come thankful letters written by those
who have bsen lifted into cheerful, Wig.
erous, healthy strength by DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription.
Thousands ON thousands Of women
have been relieved Of the neTve-nagging
drag OF weakness and pain.
They have been made better wives and
better mothers by having perfect health
restored, and without the humiliating
exposure Of examinations 50 generally
insisted on by physicians.
The stereotypsd treatment by local
applications " is seldom necessary, and
there is no reason why modest, sensitive
women need submit 10 them.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is
Of purely vegetable composition and is
perfectly harmless In any condition OF
the system. II exerts a wonderful sooth-
ing, healing and strengthening power
over woman's delicate organism. II ts
an invgorating tonic for the whole sys-
TEN. and IL almost an infallible specific
for the peculiar weaknesses. Irregular
ties and painful arrangements OF woman.
To these causes may be traced the
trouble Of tired, nervous, irritable, worn
out women. Careless, easy-going doctors
frequently treat their women patients for
biliousness, nervousness. dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles. when the real sick
ness is In the organs distinctly feminine,

ors. We approve of the refusal of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, and de-
nounce the efforts Of the present Re-
publican congress TO enact a similar
measure.
PENSIONS.
Recognizing the just claims OF de-
serving union soldiers we heartily en-
dOrse the rule of the present commits
siOner OF pensions that no names shall
be arbitrarily dropped from the pen
sion roll; and the fact of enlistment
and service shonld be deemed con-
elusive evidence against disease and
disability before enlistment.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the ter
ritories OF New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma into the United States,
and we favor the early admission of
all the territories haying the neces-
sary population and resources to en-
title them TO statehood, and while
they remain territories, we hold that
the officials appointed to administer
the government of any territory to-
gether with the District of Columbia
and Alaska, should be bona fide resi-
dents of the territory or district in
which the duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes In
home rule and that all public lands
OF the United States should be appro-
priated to the establishment of free
homes for American citizens. We
recommend that the territory of
Alaska be granted delegate In con-
gress, and that the general land and
timber laws of the United States be
extended to said territory.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Monroe doctrine Is originally
declared, and as interp reted by succeed
ing presidents, Is permanent part OF
the foreign policy Of the United
States, and must at all times be main
tained'
We extend our sympathy to the
people of Cuba In their heroic strug-
gle for liberty and independence.
THIRD TERM.
We are opposed TO life tenure In the
public service. We favor appoint
ments based upon merit, fixed term of
office, and sach an administration of
the civil service laws as will afford
equal opportunities TO all citizens OF
asceTtained fitness. We declare IL TO
be the unwTltten law OF this republic,
established by custom and usage of
one hundred years and sanctioned by
the examples of the greatest and
wisest OF those who founded and have
maintained our government, that no
man should be eligible for a third
term In the presidential Office.
WATERWAYS.
The federal government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river
and other great waterways of the re-
public, so as TO secure for the interior
states easy and cheap transportation
to tidewater. When any waterway Of
the republic Is OF sufficient import
ance TO demand aid OF the govern
ment such aid should be extended up
on definite plan Of continuous work
until permanent improvement Is
secured.
COnhdiDg In the justice Of our cause
and the necessity OF its success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing declar-
atlons OF principles and purposes TO
the considerable judgment OF the
American people. We invite the sup
port OF all citizens who approve them
and who desire 10 have them made
effective through legislation for the
relief OF the people and the restoration
OF the cOuntry's prosperity.
