The Xmas holidays are about past.
They have been extremely quiet here,
except that Nnas eve was little noisy
and one little skirmish in town. The

a negro, Bill Lemons, died just below

III the lace last winter by Coat Iladden,
c0lolcd, for which the latter was tried
anG acquitted, but by some hook or crook
the Coroner was called on to investigate
thc case, though it, appears that Lemon
had been sick for some time and the find
ing Of the jury was death from natural
causes. Drs. Sheldon aud Williams held
q post mortcm examination and found
gnn bah lodged in the skull bone against
The striliin Of the brain, but it was not
thought to be the cause of his death il we
correctly understand the jury.
Well really President Cleveland is q
great man, notwithstanding the fact he
hired Substitute in onr late wars he now
seems disposed to pull tho British Lions

and if he ,locs seize the leg make him get
chokcd on it and then throw sand In his

GEN. GRosvENOR, of Ohio, after
making careful estimate of McKln-
ley's probable strength in the conven-
ton, concludes thatthe vote for Nc
Kinley on the first ballot will certainly
be as much as 433. and probably more
The number of votes necessary to Sc
cure the nomination is 457, and Gen.
Grosvenor thinks it possible, if not
probable, that Mckinley will receive
that number on first ballot. If not
nominated on the first ballot, he thinks
Mckinley will surely receive the requi-
site number of votes on the second,
after the favorite-son" bubble has
burst and disappeared. Gen. Gros-
venors head is level, and his estimate
is probably within the truth.

LIE worst feature of the favorite so

THE worst feature of the favOrite son
business is the embarrassment it brings
to almost every candidate for a state
office and nearly every candidate for a
district office and almost every candi-
date for a county office. Ordinarily this
would not be true, but in the present
instance when the people are solidly foi
Mckinley it amounts to cruelty to hold
up local candidates for a candidate fol-
the presidency when the people have
long since made up their minds in favor
of another.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "For six years have been
sufferer from a scrofu1ous affection OF
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, D. &,
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After SIX
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to re-
mova1 of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though l am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your SIS. long ago,
1 would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $3.50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruit1ess or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nent1y.

Mckinley and the Bosses.

The indications are unmstakable
that a large majority of the republicans
of the west and south strongly favor
the nomination Of Mckinley. Even in
this state it will require all the power
of the Platt machine and Of the COVER
nor's patronage to prevent the election
of Mckinley delegates in some Of the
strongest republican districts. An at
tempt by Plat to throw the New York
delegation as unit against Mckinley,
with Governor Morton out of the race,
would surely be futile. The Ohio lead
er represents as nobody else does the
policy of high protection which is the
republican party's pivotal principle for
the coming campaign.
Yet it is equally obvious that the
most powerful bosses in the party are
against Mckinley. They dislike him
only less than they did Harrison. Plant
in New York, Quay in Pennsylvania,
Reed and his managers in New Eng
land, and others of the most skillful
politicians will defeat him if they can.
It is for this purpose they have insti-
gated or encouraged the candidacy of
" favorite sons" hoping to make the
field against Mckinley so large that it
can be combined to beat him.
1t is not likely that they will sue
coed. The bosses very rarely control
national conventions. They were
against Cleveland in 1884 and 1892,
and yet he was nominated. They were
against Harrison four years ago and
yet he prevailed. The republican SEN
timent in favor of Mckinley bids fair to
be irresistible. New York World.
