Electric Bltterp.

Electric Bitters is q medicine suit
ed for any season. but perhaps more
generally when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails. when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and
freeing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, indigestion, con-
stipation. dizziness yield to Electric
bitters. SOC and 81 per bottle at

A PHILADELPHIA paper notes the
sale Of washington county WOOL
in that market ut 20 cents q pound,
which Is Z cents higher than was
paid for the same quality under the
Mckinley tariff in 1892. This fact
shows that the free importation Of
manufacturing wool to mix with the
American woods has stimulated man
ufactues and increased the demand
and price for raw home material.
At the same time American cloth is
cheaper than ever before. The
American producer can sell wool at
higher price by 80 per cent and
can buy cloth or clothing at lower
price by 80 per cent than he could
under the Mckinley tariff system.

GARRETT A. HOBART CALLS.
Mr. Hobart Looks I'm on His Old
Friend Mckinley

Friend Mckinley
Canton, Ohio, July 3.-Gov. McKin-
ley drove to the Fort Wayne station
this morning to personally meet and
greet his invited guest, Garret A. Ho-
bart, who wired Yesterday from his
home in Paterson, N. j., that he would
call on the governor today. There
was large crowd of people at the sta
ton to witness the meeting of the two
distinguished men, although the af-.
fair, was informal in every respect.
Gov. Mckinley waited in his carriage
while the big crowd at the station di-
vided at the, train yard, leaving an
open space for him to pass through,
which he did, unescorted, as a private
citizen, reaching the train just as the
car carrying Mr. Hobart stopped in
front of him. Mr. Mckinley quickly
extended his hand and stepped briskly
to the car step, and the recognition
was equally prompt on Mr.. Hohart's
part. Gov. Mckinley took him by the.
arm and they walked side by side to
the carriage amidst the applause Of the
big crowd. AS the meeting was en-
tirely informal there was no public
demonstration, and the time Of Mr.
Hobart's coming had not been made
public until this morning. Gov Nc
Kinley and his guest were driven.
quickly to the formers home. Mr..
Hobart was presented to number Of
Mr.. McKinley's neighbors as. the pair
alighted from the carriage, after which,.
! they Immediately retired to the library
In the majors home 1t is not prob
able that either Gov Mckinley or Mr..
Hobart will make any stumping cam
paign. Later Mr.. Hobart left for,

ganization was made permanent.
When the nomination speeches were
declared in order Hon. William Henry
Eustis made speech withdrawing his
name. After the nominating speeches
roll call by counties was called for
and the first ballot showed Gov.
Clough's overwhelming majority.
When the Hennepin delegation was
called a ripple of laughter swept over
the convention which broke into wild
cheers when e. NJ Johnson announced
liz votes for Clough.
At 4:35 O'clock Gov Clcugh entered
the hall. The band played Hail to the

Gentlemen of the Convention: With a full
heart come before you to return to you
my sincere thanks for the honor that you
have conferred upon me. 1 cannot and do
not wish to say that this nomination has
come to me unexpected or unsought. It
does come instead as the eliminating event
OF long and ardent campaign, in which
honorable men, men worthy Of any antag-
onist, men Of high character and possessed
of liberal share Of the peoples confidence,
have contended with me for the honor Of
representing the, Republican party in the
coming campaign, and acting as the execu-
tive OF Minnesota during the next two
years. For those adversaries who have
met me In fair and honorable battle, I have
only the kindiiest words, because they are
inspired b. the kindliest feelings Every
man has, In my opinion, the right to aspire
to become the standard bearer Of his party.
But in this hour when the great contest
has been decided, it is time to lay aside
all the personal feelings that may have
possessed us in the struggle for nominal
ton and to remember only the future and
the needs of the great Republican party
and of the great state Of Minnesota, which
commands the undying allegiance of us ALL
If have coveted the honor, gentlemen
and make no secret Of my desire to de-
serve your confidence and to receive this
signal proof of it, I may at least, in all
sincerity and honesty, say that have not
been inspired by any unworthy motive.
