Gladness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef-
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene'
fetal effects, to note when you pun
chase, that you have the genuine arti.
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold -
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
hay be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup d
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

The formal proceedings consisted in
the appointment of committee to con-
fer with the executive committee of the
national Democratic committee, consist
ing of Senator Jones of Arkansas, Gov
ernor Stone of Missouri, Senator David
Turpie of Indiana, Governor Altgeld of
Illinois and Senator Daniel of Virginia.
The terms of the resolution under
which this committee was appointed
authorize the committee ''to confer with
the executive committee of the national
committee i'll reference TO all question:
affecting and relating to the temporary
organization and proceedings of the con
vention."
The resolution was discussed at some
length, but the meeting was secret and
the tenor of the remarks made was not
made known except in the most general
way. The feeling which seemed to
exist among all those present was that
the situation demanded that no precau-
tions be neglected in making sure of the
temporary organization of the conven-
ton by the silver men of the temporary
organization. On the. other hand, no
one knew of any inclination there to
give the silver men control and it was
unanimously conceded that wisdom de-
manded bimetallc organization should
put itself in touch with the national COM
mittee to learn its plan as soon as pos
sible in order to counteract them, in case
they should be averse to the silver
interest.
The committee adjourned until 8
o'clock tomorrow morning.

SENATOR COCKRELL TALKS.

Chicago. June Ex-senator Cockrell of
Missouri was among today's arrivals.
He is n delegate to the national Demo-
cratic convention, and is here for the
purpose of attending the Democratic sill
yer conference.
"We shall nominate n straight silver
man on an unequivocal silver declara-
ton in the PLATFORM" he said. when
asked for an expression of his views.
Il am. of course, for Bland" he con-
tinued. ''and our delegations gre instruct
ed for him; but if we can not get him we
shall get some otlicr man who is sound
on the currency question, and Missouri
will support him ut the polls Mr.. Bland
is Il 81 fc practical man, and if elected
would be entirely reliable as a president.
There can be no doubt on that score. |
have not. however, devoted myself so
much to finding presidential material as
| have TO making sure of a silver ma
iority in the convention. That assured,
we shall have but little difficulty in find
ing an available man for president"
The senator thinks that the financial
question will be made the paramount is
sue in the platform, and that there will
| be square declaration for silver on
terms of equality with gold at the ratio
of 1G to /, and without awaiting the
| cooperation of other nations. He laughs
Mt Mr.. Whitneys suggestion of com
promise and says it will not be enter
| tained. He does not believe that an un-
| equivOcal plank will drive many eastern
men out of the party and argues that,
on the contrary, it will bring many votes
to the party that can not be caught in any
other way.
"We shall gain immensely in the west,
he said "and we shall not lose in the
east. The people have not yet come to a
| full realization of the strength of the sill
yer movement. 1t will sweep the coun-
| try at the polls, as it has swept the Dem
ocratic party at the primaries"
Senator CockreIl does not consider that
there is any danger of bolt by the New
| York or other eastern delegates.

THE BLAND BOOM.
Advance Agent of the Missourian Is at the
Scene of Action

Advance Agent of the Missourian Is at the
Scene of Action.
Chicago. June 29.-The Bland boom is
the first of the personal booms to arrive,
and it can hardly be said to be here yet.
Mr. George w. Allen, secretary of the
st. Louis Bland executive committee,
came in as an advance agent Of the boom
today, and opened up what are to be Bland
headquarters at the auditorium annex. He
says that Governor Stone and Col. Rick
ey, with other Missouri friends of Mr..
Bland. will reach the city tomorrow, and
that they will continue to come until
Monday, by which time there will be an
army ON hand.
Monday night they expect to have pa
rade which will open the eyes of the coun-
try to the magnitude of the interests of
the Missouri statesman.
Mr. Allen places the strength of his
candidate on the first ballot at not fewer
than 200 votes, and says it may reach as
high as 275. The assured vote claimed
at present is 49, consisting of "a from
Missouri, 3 from Texas, 16 from Arkan-
sas, and six each from New Mexico and
the Indian Territory, II of which are in
structed for Bland. and 90 from Kansas,
where II of the votes, sufficient to CON
troll the delegation under the unit rule,
are pledged to him. He counts also upon
the votes of Ohio, Tennessee, Louisiana,
California, Oregon, Colorado and other
western states.

Democratic committee as to the selection
of temporary chairman.

Democratic committee as to the selection
of temporary chairman.
He said there was no apprehension that
the national committee would be disposed
to treat unfairly with the silver ma ajority,
but il had been thought best to have an
understanding.
Senator Jones said also that the Ques-
ton of temporary chairman had not
been canvassed, and he had no idea who
would be selected. He also stated that
he doubted whether, under the circum-
stances, the contests which had been
threatened from Texas, Colorado, Ne
vada and Nebraska would materialize,
now that it was evident that the silver
men would have an unquestioned ma
jority.
"They may have thought originally that
they would gain something in case the
convention should be close" he said, by
preventing the representation of those
states on the committee on credentials,
but the silver majority is now so patent
to all that they have certainly surrendered
this idea"
Mr.. Jones says that so far as has been
heard from the silver delegates they prac-
tically agree upon the main feature of
the platform. The idea is to give first
place to the financial plank and to make
all other questions, including the tariff,
subservient to il.
"NIonths ago." said the senator, II ad-
dressed letters to five friends of mine
in different parts of the country, one n
lawyer, one n banker, one newspaper
man and two business men, asking them
for suggestions on the preparation of the
platform. Not one of them had any
chance for consultation with another. Yet
their replies were strikingly uniform, and
all favored square stand for the free re,
coinage of silver and for making this the
paramount question to be included in oul
declaration of principles"
Asked what influences Mr.. Whitney
coming to Chicago would have upon the
convention, the senator replied:
| None whatever. 1t will have no more
effect than fine spray on ducks back
The people have made up their minds as
to what they want and the delegates here
will do their bidding, and no amount OF
influence will change their purpose ol
turn the course of events"
Il see," continued the senator, that i
is suggested that business influence cal
be brought TO bear to change the v,ote'
of southern delegates. Never was there
n greater mistake We of the south fee
that we have already been ground to pow
der and no amount of pulverzing vii
affect us. Mr.. Whitney will be treated
courteously, but this is not going to b'
