ARMOR OF EQUAL RIGHTS.

Let us. he said buckle on the armor
of equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none, and like the oppressed
and overburdened Egyptians appeal to
our God on bended knee. who in His
mercy hears the widows and the or
phan's cry. and who will bring forth a
Moses of deliverance restoring the
rights gained by the heroes of &c. who
dared to bare their arm to the invading
foe.
Vice President Copenhaver and Sec
retary Omwake made interesting re-
ports; and the annual report of State
Organizer Kilmer showed that since
the last council 81 new alliances have
been chartered. two of which are coun-
ty and 20 subOrdinates. In addition to
this there has been a number reinstat-
ed. He expects that he will have or
ganized 100 new alliances by the next
council.
President Gardner gave q glowing ac-
count of the National Alliance held re-
Gently at Washington. ID. c.. and stated
that the state of Pennsylvania proved
to be the banner state of the union
in alliance work. The afternoon ses-
sion closed at 6 o'clock and an evening
session was called to order at 7,3O. at
which the business taken up was the
consideration of reports from the yari-
Gus counties represented.

MR.. OFFNER,S LETTER.

To the Honorable Chairman and Asso-
ciate Members of the Executive Com
m.ttee of the Peoples Party for the
State of Wst Virginia.
Gentlemen:-I have matureiy consid-
cred the question Of my candidacy for
the office Of Treasurer, to which | was
honored by the nomination of the Peo-
pies party at its State Convention, held
at Parkelsburg, on the 5th day Of Au-
gust. 1896, and have concluded that Il
is my duty to the cause Of silver to re-
sign my nomination and 10 ask that you
name in my place and stead Hon. J. w.
Tucker. the Democratic candidate for the
same Office.
Having honorably concluded a fusion
of all the silver forces of the State on
joint electoral ticket, in which the Dem
ocratic party conceded to our party
more than could reasonably be demand
ed on the basis of our material strength,
and our committee having declined all
overtures for Ike fusion on the State
ticket for some reason which can alone
be explained by the late chairman (Mr.
PiersoD. and treasurer (Mr. Spence),
who controlled a majority Of the Clarks-
burg Committee, feel that IN sill re-
tanning a place on the Populist ticket
am hurting the cause of our great cham
pion. William J. Bryan, and cannot per-
nit myself to be longer used for this
purpose.
l am sure that the true interests OF the
principles for which our party has So
long contended, in this election, lie IN
the support of the Democratic ticket
national and State, TO the end that
solid front be presented against the gold
standard candidates of the Republican
party. While some of the Democratic
candidates are not wholly satisfactory
TO many of our people, yet l know tnat
they are individually and as a whole
more so than the Republican candidates,
because they stand upon Bryan plat.
form and are pledged to a restoration OF
the gold and silver coin Of the Consutu-
ton: while on the other hand the Repub-
lican candidates stand for McKinleyism
and all iniquities for which that name
stands in the present contest.
Entertaining these views | beg to ask
that my name be Withdrawn from Our
State ticket and that Of Mr.. Tucker be
named in its place.
Very respectfully yours,
l. H. OFFNER.

Above is the picture Of another of the
thousands of well known citizens whom
Paine's celery compound has made well.
Chef Postofice Inspector NJ. D. Wheel

tive says:
Il have used Paine's celery compound
with marked improvement in health. At
the time l commenced using il, | was

began almost Immediately to improve,
and after taking three bottles felt well
enough TO discontinue its use, and have

Mr.. Wheeler has found out what every
one should learn-th3t putting heart
and soul in ones business no longer
means sticking to the desk, counter or
work room till the head grows dizzy,
the back aches and the neuralgia tWlnges
shoot through the frame.
They are the short-sighted men ana
women who put up with this state Oh
things when the risk is so great and
the remedy so easily within their reach.
As weakness. nervousness, languor and
sIeeplessness are clearly the result OF
low nervous nutrition, so permanent re-

other remedy has ever attained. There
comes an immediate clearing Of the
jaundiced, muddy complexion; neuralgia
and sick" headaches cease to afliict,
and the formerly wretched sleeper enjoys
the blessings of sound restoring sleep.
Given the hearty appetite, the sound
sleep and the pure blood, all the other
needful things that go to making what
we call perfect health, are sure to follow.
Low spirits, constant broOding over
fancied wrongs and imaginary sligh1s,
melancholia and fretfulness are not
treated as seriously as they deserve.
They are evident faults of the tired,
nervous system and are TO be corrected
By putting an end to the neglectful con-
ditiOn Of those vital parts.
Don't wait for nervous prostration.
When headaches continue and that
tired feeling keeps up, or pain is felt
over the kidneys. arouse the body from
its unhealthy condition, get rid of not
only these symptoms, but of the under
living causes, by prompt recourse to
Paine's celery compound. This great
nerve and brain restorer will not leave q
ves.ige of kidney disease, nervousness,
unhealthy scate of the liver or heart
trouble.
Its way of curing these alarming com
plants is direct and unfailing.
It replaces unhealthy tissues by new
and healthy parts and cleanses and puri-
fes the blood until the tired body re-
gains It's elasticity and high spirits that
are the sure accompaniment OF perfect
health.

A GOOD MAN.

To the Editor Of the Register.
SRA few days ago I noticed in the
News the name of Frank RObrecht
mentioned as being a suitable person
for Chief of the Fire Department, and as
number of other names have been
mentioned, and various objections
given. 1t struck me the right man had
been found for that most important Of
fee. he being active, vigilant, energetic
and Of sound judgment. with not only
experience as a fireman, but thoroughly
ccnversant with the lines and skilled in
keeping the alarm apparatus in proper
working condition. We have no better
man for the place.

MAC NOW A "RECKLEsS DEMOCRAT"
st. Cloud Times, May Z, 1895:
The Democratic party is being crippled
worse these days than it was at the polls at
the last election by the strenuous efforts
that are being put forth all over thecOuntry
to commit it i'm the next National conven-
ton to the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver. 1t Is in this that the chief danger
lies. Through the long years OF its history
it has often been defeated for the UNFOLDING
of SOUND ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES. 1t
has even been betrayed after long and
tedious struggle for the right by the very
men it has hOnored and designed as the in
struments that should carry out it's reforms.
This treachery it can punish and vindicate
its honor and its principles, but now to CON-
NIT it to a theory-AND A FALSE ONE AT
THAT-WOULD MEAN RUIN.
President Cleyeiand in letter to Gov.
Stone of Mississippi points out the danger
and says:
80 II there are Democrats who are
willing to turn their backs upon their party
| associations in the hope that free and un.
limited and independent coinage of silver can
win victory = they should deceive
themselves no longer, nor longer refuse to
look in the face of results that will folio W
defeat-if not the disintegration of the Dem.
ocratic party. upon the issue which tempts
them from their allegiance. II we should be
forced away from our traditional doctrine
OF SOUND AND SAFE MONEY, our old
antagonists will take the field which we
abandon, and neither the evils of reckless
Democrats nor reckless Republicans WILL
AVAIL TO STAY THEIR EASY MARCH
| TO POWER. This is as plain as anything
can possibly be-
