Chairman and d. b. Craig Secretary.
The usual committees were named, after

gressional committee was named, and it
organized by electing F. j. Close, Chair
man; NJ. w. Gilmore, Seer cretary, and P.
B. Maxson, treasurer. Some time was
spent in discussing the question OF how
much power had been given the confer.
ence committee. The committee did not
present any names TO the convention, the
Democrats reporting that they were
willing to trust to the judgment Of the
convention. John Madden, Empcria; H.
G. Root, Topeka; H. P. Fleharty, Alta
Vista, and G. G. Clemens, Topeka, were
then nominated. After remarks by the
candidates a ballot was taken. It re-
suited as follows: Madden 70, Root II,
Fleharty 36, Clemens 3. Madden's nom.
inatiOn was made unanimous. He was
immediately nominated by the Demo
Gratis and free silver Republicans. The
ADVOCATE has already referred to Mr..
Madden's abilities, and readers are no
doubt familiar with the facts in refer
ence TO him. He will make strong cam
Vass, and il elected will make an able and
faithful representative Of his constitu-
ents.

Rousing speeches were made during the
day by David Overmyer, j. w. Leedy,

that they are taking an interest in the
campaign, which foreshadows q big VIC
tory in Montgomery county.

very large and enthusiastic ratification
meeting last Saturday afternoon and
evening. Hon. Webb McNall and Hon.
N. B. Mccormick were the speakers.
This county will go from 300 to 500 ma

and made great speech.
GARNETT, August 1.-THE talk that
the silver craze is dead does not apply to
this county, as is evidenced by the crowd
which attended the silver rally here to-
day. The size Of the crowd was various
ly estimated, but was probably not less
than 1000. The meeting lasted all day.
The morning meeting was addressed by
local talent, while the afternoon was oc-
cupied with speeches by M. s. Peters,
Jerry Simpson and E. @. Little. Mr..
Little's principal speech was in the
evening, however. No more enthusiastic
greeting was ever given public speakers
here. The crowd came to hear, and the
speeches they heard were worth hearing.
Over thousand people registered at the
Bryan headquarters. The campaign in
this county is destined to be a winner.
There are over fifty Republicans in Gar

The secret of health is to keep the
blood pure and full of strength. When
a man or woman loses flesh and vitality,
there is something wrong i'll the blood.
The start of it is likely to be in the stom-
ach or bowels, and if they are put in
order the trouble gradually stops. Con-
sumption is germ disease, but if the
blood is good, and keeps the lungs strong
and healthy, the germs cannot find a
place to lodge and are cast off. If there's
a weak spot, the germ will find it. Even
after that, strong and pure blood will
strengthen the lungs so that they can
gradually rid themselves OF the germs.
1t is by creating strength and purity that
