beginning of poor health is very apt to
rob one of the will power to start immed-
ately about getting out of danger. 1t Is
this inertia of poor health that makes an

languor and the lack of strength are sure
to increase.
Now is the time to throw off disease. AS
the new year begins there are fewest
hindrances to getting back strength and
sturdy health. The bracing weather
arouses a longing for health. Paine's cell
cry compound, taken now. does its best
service toward driving out disease and es-
tablishing firm health.

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is

result, and unless the inflammation can be

I'M A DEMOCRAT.

The nominations have been made.
The platform (Which we print in full
upon the first page of this issue) has
been completed and the issue is joined
between the two great factors OF
American politics. The remaining
question is: What shall Democrats
do? And the answer can only be,
support the ticket"
We have differed widely upon the
only issue that has so far been made.
The financial question Came to the
front with bound. 1t has occupied
place i'll party platforms to which
it never has aspired before. The wide
spread and continually increasing de-
preston in business the lettering
structures or complete overthrow of
financial fabrics and the uncertainty
of the causes which has led to these
results, has produced an irrepressible
demand for a change. AS to the pro
priety or necessity for that change
there is no difference of sentiment
The topic of the hour has been, how
20 effect it.
From all parts of the country, and
especially from those States which
have always been known as towers
of Democratic strength, this cry
for change in the monetary system
of the United States, has arisen, and
in accord with that demand the Chica-
go platform has embodied a plank
which meets this popular clamor.
That this is in opposition to the
worshippers at the shrine of Democ-
racy is patent. And, that, feeling
sorely the pangs of defeat, many have
been led to the expression of extreme
views, is likewise apparent. We be-
lieve, however, in the integrity of the
party. We believe that calm consid
GRAFTON, serious thought, will result
in that demonstration of loyalty to
the party which has ever character
lied Democracy. There have been
dissensions before this which threat
ened entire disinte2ration, and when
the smoke of battle cleared away, the
apparently opposite wings united in
harmonious work. So it will be now.
With the memory of the events of
1860 fresh in the mind, it will be i'm
possible for any true Democrat to de
sert his party at the behest of indi-
viduals.
The standard bearers have been Sc
lected, and whether they have been
deliberately placed upon that stand
ard, or imprinted thereon to meet a
sudden and overwhelming popular
demand, the result is the same, and
every voter who is opposed to the
doctrines and tenets of the Republi
can party should enter at once into
the fray determined upon sure and
LASTING victory.

THE CUB1N REVOLUTION.

A new phase of the war in Cuba has
been brought about by the breaking
out of the yellow fever in the I'M
healthy districts. The Spanish army,
according to latest reports, is being
stricken by companies, and the hos
pitfalls of Havana have now within
their walls six thousand patients. The
Spanish troops will be the greatest
sufferers from this fatal disease. Hos
tilities will be suspended for time,
as both armies have Il common and
most deadly enemy to fight.
1t is reported that considerable dis
affection exists in Spain as to the con
tinuance of the seemingly fruitloss
war, and that a peace party exists and
is growing. Spain is threatened with
bankruptcy. Weyler has gained lit
tie or nothing since he took charge of
the troops, and has belittled himself
and his nation in the eyes of the
world. The feeling throughout all
Europe is said to he changing, and
even he monarchical governments are
sympathisirg with Cuba. The major
ity of the people of the United States
