Among the names recently added to
the government pension roll, VT note
that of our fellow townsman, Alfred
johnson. Mr.. Johnson's war record is
a very creditable one, and in strict
justice his application made five or six
years ago should have been granted. 1t
was rejected however upon the most
himsy grounds a little more than a year
ago, when a new application was filed
which resulted in the granting of a
pension, with back pay from the date of
his second application only, which in
justice should have been allowed him
from the date of the first, the grounds
upon which a pension was asked in his
second application being identical with
that Of the first. The action of govern.
ment officials is sometimes exceedingly
peculiar, and especially is this the case
with present incumbents having charge
of pension affairs.

Mckinley Sneaks.

A delegation of Muskingum County, o.,
citizens visited exGov. Mckinley at his home
in Canton on Monday, and the Presidential
nominee made a speech, being received with
wild enthusiasm. In the course of his remarks
he sail:
ave all know more than we knew three
years and a half ago, and we are all ready and
anxious to get back to the period Of 1892, when
this country was enjoying its highest pros
perity. with the largest domestic trade it ever
enjoyed, and the largest foreign trade with the
nations of the world.
I'VE want to get to that policy, my fellow
citizens, which will give to Us work and wages,
give to agriculture home market and good
foreign market. which was opened by the reel
procty legislation of the Republican party.
We have come to appreciate that protective
tariffs are better than idleness and that wise
tariff legislation is more business-like than
debts and deficiencies, and all feel that the
sooner we can change that policy which iu-
creases the debts of the Government to the
policy of paying as We go the sooner we will
reach individual and National prosperity. And.
my eOuntrymen, there is another thing the
people are determi ned upon. and that is that a
full days work must be paid in full dollar"

Senator Dubois will open Teller Headquar-
tiers at Chicago next week.
Hon. Michael Doran, who so skillfully engi.
neered the Minnesota Democratic Convention
for Gold, was in Washington last week consult
ing with the President in regard to the manage
ment Of the Chicago Convention, and then went
on to New York to consult with the Gold lead
ers there.
The Philadelphia Times says that it will bolt
IL the Chicago Convention declares for Free
Silver.
The Boies men have established Headquar-
tiers at Chicago, and begun an energetic canvas
for him.
It is believed that Senator Teller's bolt gives
Colorado hopeessly over to Popuiism and one
of the results will be the election of Repre-
sentative Bell as Governor Of that State. Bell
is very popular, and gave up the Superior
Judgeship, with its term of 10 years and good
salary, in order to run for Congress, where he
thought he could do more good.
The PopuIists are sorely divided upon the
question of Presidential candidate. Senator
PETER and one wing want Teller, and Senator
Allen and his faction want Boies.
The Free Silver Democrats profess to be noh
afraid of W. G. Whitney's presence &C Chicago
They say that it will be utterly impossible for
years ago. They also think that Senators
Brice and German should stay away.
Hinrichsen says that of the ,069 delegates
to the Illinois Democratic Convention 954 are
instructed for Free Silver, and that they will
have no other candidate for Governor than the
present incumbent, John P. AItgeld
The Texas Democrats may indorse Senator
Teller.
The New York Democrats are trying very
hard to get together. with Senator d. 3. Hill,
ex-Gov. Flower and Senator Murphy at the
head of the delegation.
The Maine Democrats have Endorsed the
Administration and declared strongly for the
gold standard.
The Germsn-American Sound Money League
promises the support of the COMMUNICATIONS
without regard to party, and OF $50 out of the
3S7 German papers in the country, TO the party
declaring unequivocally for sound money.
Ohio Democrats will be a urit for Free
Silver.
A deal has apparently been made in Kansas
between the Democrats and POpulists, on the
basis of supporting ex-Gov. Llewelling for
Governor and a Silver Democrat for United
States Senator.
The National tribune., 1896-06-25

For twenty-eight years have consulted
physicians and taken their prescriptions
without deriving any material benefit. My
ailments increased in intensity until was
assured that there was no hope for me. Dur
ing last year | went into the butcher bust

creased my rheumatic pain to such an ex-
tent that / was not only compelled to quit
the business, but was confined TO my house
and bed for nearly six months.

in the World Heraid q case of man who

4 Strange Story from a Nebraska Village.
From ne Worrd- Herald. Omaha. Ns6.

A Uor1d-Hera1d reporter was attracted by
the evidence OF renewed activity of some Of
the Older inhabitants of the village Of Flor
ence, suburb of Omaha, Nebraska, and in
CURED the cause. Mr.. Andrew Finkenkeler,
who was q member of Company Il of the
First Iowa Volunteers during the war, made
the following explanation so far as he him
self is concerned:
6 In July, 1866, while my company was
on the march through to Austin, Texas, / was
attacked with rheumatism of the worst kind
in one leg at Alexander, La. Being weak 1
was sunstruck and remained unconscious for
several hours. Every Summer since have
been unable to stand the heat of the SUM- and
have been compelled 10 give up my work.
There was in my head bearing-down feel
ing, which increased until it seemed my head
would burst, and it caused ringing in my
ears, and palpitation of the heart set in, so
that the slightest noise would set my heart
humping. Several times it has rendered
me unconscious for from seven to ten hours
at time. In addition 10 this the rheuma-
tism extended up my entire side until it drew
my head down on my shoulder. / lost my
strength aud flesh and was totally unfit for
work.
The National tribune., 1896-06-25
POLITICAL NOTES.

It is announced that Speaker Reed will ac-
cent a denomination for Congress from his pres
ent district.
The Gold Democrats are getting together and
putting a heavy pressure upon w. G. Whitney
to induce him to take an active part in the
Chicago Convention, accept the nomination for
the Presidency, and save the party from Free
Silver. Whitney has so far yielded as to forego
his European trip and stay at home this
Summer to help the Democratic fight for the
Gold standard.
Chairman Harrity says that the report that
Senator Teller will be nominated by the Demo-
cratic Convention lis not worth q moments
notice"
The Gold men had majority in the Florida
Democratic Convention, but not the requisite
two. thirds.
The best estimates to-day give the Free Sill
yer men COZ votes in the Chicago Convention,
to 33S for the Gold advocates. This lacks only
24a of the necessary twO-thirds.
The Arkansas Democrats Endorsed "Silver
Dick" Bland, in spite of the opposition of
Senator Jones.
The Gold men will hardly elect two dele
gates to Chicago from Indiana.
The National tribune., 1896-06-25

William Mckinley, of Ohio, and Carrot A.
Hobart. OF New Jersey were nominated juno
is as the candidates of the Republlcaii pa,
for President and Vice President by the AI'n
Republican National Convention.
The session lasted nearly II hours, and two
intensely dramatic incidents characterize I. ~
The first and most important was the DOH Oh
the silver men under the leadership oil the NeV'
eran Senator from Colorado, Teller. aud inc
other was the display of enthusiasm "hl ',I
broke loose at the mention of Mckinney
name when he was placed in nomination ny
Senator Foraker.
The enthusiasm, which for three Gays mas
been noticeable for its absence, this day iound
vent. For 30 minutes the delegates ana the
crowds cheered themselves hoarse. 1t was
scene which words are inadequate to iuliy ue-
scribe. Hitherto the records on applause al a
National Convention has been held by the
Convention of 1854, in Chicago, which nomi.

tite. The pain from the rheumatism gradu-
ally left me, so that within one week from
the time / took my first pill I was able 10 sic
up in bed. On January 1st was able to go

tons of my heart entirely ceased. On Feb

Mr.. r. W. Cowan, keeper Of a general
store at Florence, was also seen by the re-
porter. Mr.. COwan is also an old soldier,
having been member OF the One Hundred
and FOrty-foUrth Infantry, Company G, and
later Of Company vi Of the First Minnesota
Cavalry. Mr.. Cowau stated that he con-
tracted chronic diarrh9a while he was in
the army, and has never, until within the
past few months, received any relief. He
stated that he had taken the wonderful
Pink Pills and was now almost thoroughly
cured, so much so in fact that he has dis
continued their use.
He was al o p2ralyzed in the left side OF
his face, the mouth being drawn up at the
left corner, and he was entirely unable to
move the muscles of his forehead or to close
his left eye. He states that be believes i5
is owing to the use Of the Pink Pills that
he has recovered the use of his left eyelid,
which, prior to his taking the pills, had been
fastened down by physician so that the
sight would not be destroyed from the eye
filing with dust, and ascribes the recovery
to the Pink Pills. He has gained fifteen
pounds in weight since last October, and
feels healthier and stronger than at any time
since the war. He intends to recommence
using the pills with the expectation of
complete recovery from the paralysis.

As Mr.. Thurston announced that Mckinley
received 66l1 votes the Convention burst into
another furious demonstration. Flags and
variegated plumes waved. the people cheered
like mad. The band of the Tippecanoe Club
of Cleveland, o., which had entered the east
entrance, struck up lively air, and from out
side the hall came the dull booming of cannon
and the wild clang of car bells. With the ex-
ception of Senator Lodge and one or two other
delegates all were their feet cheering and
rejoicing.
The various candidate leaders now arose to
pledge the support Of their chiefs to the nomi-
nee. The nomination was made unanimous.
1t was 6:15 when Senator Lodge made the
motion that the Convention proceed to the
nomination of Vice-President and that
speeches he limited to five minutes.
: Samuel Fes5endeD, of Connecticut was recog-
nized to nominate Gov. Bulkeley.
