Gladness Comes


With a better understanding of the
wv transient nature of the many phys
ical Ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant Efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why II is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are dne to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs ON which II acts II is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle. which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most skillful
physicians, but IL In need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used aud gives most general satisfaction

Democrats Apparently Have o
Greater Majority Than They
Anticipated.
They Have Probably Carried the
State by Twenty-Five
Thousand.
Returns Coming in Very Slowly,
This Being Only an
Estimate.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 8.-The
counting of the vote of Florida is pro-
crossing exceedingly slowly and unsat-
isfectorily, on account of this being the
first vote under the new Australian
ballot law.
Eighteen counties, partly heard from,
give Bloxham (Dem.) 10000 majority
over Gunby (Rep) The indications
are that Bloxham will have plurality
of 5000 votes in the state. The Re-
publicaas have never made any claim
that they would carry the election, and
it has simply been question as to how
large the Democratic plural = would
be, Democrats claiming 10000 and Re-
publicans conceding not over $4,000.
The constitutional amendment abol-
ishing October elections was ratified
almost beyond exception. From the
slight returns so far received, it is diff
ficult to base an estimate as to how the
next legislature will stand for senator,
encept that Senator Calls followers
will be greatly in the minority. The
majority probably will be divided be-
tween several candidates. In Duval
county, in which Jacksonville is sit.
uated, returns show the probable elec.
ton of j. N G. Stockton and F. w.

LISTENED TO HARRISON.

Ex-President Addresses an Immenee Au-
dience at Charleston, w. Va
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. S.-The
Republican meeting here in honor Of
ex-President Harrison was one Of the
largest ever known in the state. The
weather was favorable and the people
turned out even from the distant noun
tain, while the steamboats, were packed
and the railroads ran many excursion
trains. The excursions included Re-
publican clubs from Middleport, Pom
eroy and other Ohio points, as well
as Ashland, Catlettsburg and other
points in Kentucky. One Of the finest
displays was given by the Mark Hanna
uniform club of Huntington. There
were 10 bands in the procession and
over 1000 horsemen. General Har.
rison was escorted directly from the
train to the platform. He was received
with hearty and prolonged applause
and spoke at length on the issues.

Accepts the Nomination.

Democratic Candidate for Vice President
Accepts the Nomination.
BATH, Me-, Oct. Hon. Arthur
Sewall, Democratic candidate for vice
president of the United States, has
made public his letter of acceptance.
The document is mainly devoted to the
silver question, which is said to be the
paramount issue of the campaign. Mr..
Sewall begins by denouncing the single
gold standard and charging that pres
ent conditions are the result OF that
financial policy. Continuing he says: !:
We know wei; the nature Of the strug-
gle in which we are engaged; we are anx-
ious only that the people of the land shall
understand it, and then our battle Is won.
Behind the strong entrenchment Of the
gold standard are gathered all these ia
vored classes 1t has fostered, the only dan
gerous classes of the land Avarice and
unholy greed are there; every trust and
combination are there; every monopoly
is there, led by the greatest monopoly Of
all, the
Monopoly of the Power of Gold.
With us in our assault upon these en-
trenchments are all these unselfish men
who, not now suffering themselves, can
N OF rest content with conditions SO full Of
suffering for others, and that vaster num-
ber Of our people who have been sacrificed
to the small and selfish class who now re-
sist their attempts to regain their ancient
rights and liberties. These are the patri-
| OTIS Of 1896-the foes Of a dishonest dol
lar" which enriches 10 per cent of our
people to rob the rest; the defenders OF
the homes Of the land, the public morals
and the public faith, both of which alike
forbid the payment Of government obliga,
tions in q coin costlier to those who have
to pay it than that which the contract
calls for; the defenders of the honor OF
the nation, whose most sacred charge is *
care for the welfare of all it's citizens.
Free Coinage the Sole Remedy.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
| Is the sole remedy with which to CHECK
