The Farmers Advocate attributes,

The Farmers Advocate attributes,
in part, the defeat of the Grout ticket
in Burlington to the influence of the
Free Press. 1t says:
"Another thing that hurt us here
was the fact that the Free Press is
recognized as the machine organ, and
any candidate it supports is supposed
to be machine candidate, and we
were so unfortunate as to have the
advocacy of that paper for Major
Grout, and the fact was freely com
mented on at the caucus, and as
signed as reason for not supporting
the Grout ticket"
Isn't this an unkind cut Why
should one organ of the machine be-
rate another because they met defeat 2
The Advocate should know that a pa
per that is paid for sending out ex-
ira copies of its issue or any one is
sue containlng,a glowing description
of candidates farm is looked upon
with as great suspicion, to say the
least, as is the Free Press. But it
goes on TO say:
"Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on the statement that Major
Grout is not machine candidate, in
any sense of the term, no matter
what papers may give him their sup
port. He is the candidate of the
farmers and the old soldiers, and is
the favorite of the people of the State.
The farmers should not fail to rally
to his support in large numbers and
ensure his nomination."
Was there ever so much rot put in
to SO small space !? There isn't a
person in the State, posted upon po-
litical matters, that doesn't know that
Maj, Grout is the machine candidate ;
know that he has been waiting his
"turn".a and that the machine has mott
fed him that the long looked for time
had arrived.
Now just word as to this farmer
claim. Maj. Grout was not even
brought up on a farm he is a lawyer.
Or late years his wife inherited a
farm and since that time he has look
ed after the carrying on of the prop.
erty. He is farmer just as Horace
Greeley was and no more, and no one
knows it better than the Advocate,
and 1t, as an agricultural journal, cir
culatlng among the farmers, ought to
be ashamed of itself in trying to de
celve its constituency.

All of the Kentucky county conven-
tons for the choice of delegates to the
Democratic State convention have now
been held and the free silver faction
has an overwhelming majority. This
moves the Courier-Journal to throw

"For the faith handed down through
hundred years of glorious party his
tory they have substituted fad reject

on the globe, and for the exponents of
that faith they have substituted such

WORK AND WEAR.
Repairs to Machinery While In
Motion.

Kew Waste May He Prevented and
Energy Maintained.
II machine works, II must wear
out. 1t matters not whether 1t Is the
common pillow of the field or the most
complicated printing press. Work
means waste. 1t is certain that these
machines would last much longer II
they did not wear out. Then only
some accident would necessitate the
purchase Of new parts.
The human body is complicated
piece of machinery which is constantly
at work. There is not an activity of
the body, from the movement of a
muscle to the digestion of food, which
does not cause waste. Physiology
teaches that we are constantly being
supplied with new material to take
the place of that which is worn out.
When the body is debilitated by dis
ease, how quickly it could be built up,
provided we could only allow all the
parts complete rest. But, of course,
this is impossible, for the changing of
the foods into the various organs and
tissues of the body means work, and
this work means waste. However, we
can aid the body in its work and save
1t much labor.
We can take especial care to use only
those foods which are easily digested,
and yet are highly nourishing. When

food which is also medicine, as cod
liver oil, then we can save the body an
immense amount of work by digesting
the oil before giving it. How can an
oil be digested2 If you will consult
some work on physiology you will
learn that an oil is digested when 1t
is broken up into minute globules, SO
small that high powers of the micro
scope are necessary to see the little
drops of fat. When the oil has been
digested in this way it is called all
emulsion"
This is why Scott's Emulsion of Cod
liver Oil with Hypophosphites is so
easily borne by delicate stomachs,
does not cause diarrh9a, and never
produces gas in the stomach. When
persons are i'll, the digestion is also
weak. But SCOTS Emulsion is already
digested, hence the body is not obliged
to expend strength in preparing it
for absorption. You at once see the
advantage of Scott's Emulsion over
raw cod-liver oil. 1t also contains
the hypophosphites which every one
recognizes as such strong tonics to the
nervous system.
SCOTS Emulsion has been Endorsed
by the medical profession for twenty
years. Ask your doctor. Because it
is always palatable-always uniform

The Pesky Thing Was Loaded,

And for this reason five. ring,
streaked and striped newspaper Or
gans in the goodly city of Burlington
are chewing the bitter end of the cud
OF disappointment. The State Re-
publican committee are of and for the
ring and to help the Irregular" can
dldate, as one of the fallen Burling-
ton organs calls Maj. Grout, aban
doned their usual custom of recon-
mending that all the caucusses be
held simultaneously, on the last Sat
urday previous to the convention.
This was to give the Grout crowd
chance to lead off with some of the
b,g towns in debatable districts and
create moral effect that would send
their boom off with cyclonic effect.
Burlington was pitched upon. Here
was the largest city in the State aud
having the largest number of dele
gates. 1t was not in the Majors
county. 1t could not be said BY the
opposition that it might be expected.
OF course there was no danger. The
five Republican papers of the pity
with the Free Press. the father of
all the little organs in the State, at
the head, were for Grout and they
had proclaimed, over and over, that
his nomination was assured. So the
caucus was called on two days no.
tice, and in violation of promise
that it would not be called until a
friend Of Stickney, who was necessa-
rily absent for few DAYS, should re-
turn. 1t was held and 10 the pesky
thing was loaded and the sixteen
Grout delegates got fred and the
moral effect perched upon the Stick
ney banners. And now there is weep
ing and wailing, and crashing of
teeth in the Queen city. Well, it
YVES too bad, and against the "regu-
lar" candidate too.
Probably the next time the Bur-
lington ring pulls such trigger they
will be sure the gun isn't loaded.
