Indianapoli Convention.

During the last week a convention
principally of railroad attorneys. mem
bers of syndicates, bankers ana per
sons who are under corporate influence
met in Indianapolis, and nominated
the aged Senator Palmer of Illinois,
for President and the aged General
Ruckner of Kentucky, for Vice-Presi
dent. The real object of the conven-
ton can neither be hidden nor ols-
guised. It's object was to aid the
election of Mckinley. 1t pretended
that it sought one thing when 1t really
sought another. Itdeclared for honest
money, whilst it was working
political dishonesty. 1t paraded
its loyalty to party and especially the
Democratic party, and yet its mem
bers or many of them had previously
gone into duly organized conventions
Of that party, and when defeateo'
bolted the party nominees. Inc
whole scheme is one of deception ana
fraud, a masquerading under the
name of Democracy, whilst their sole
purpose is to elect Republican presl-
dent. They have no hope nor desire
to save the Democratic party. lts
defeat to them will be the most wei
come occurrence that could transplre.
They will never have place again III
the Democratic party. They Will un
ouestionably be spurned from lts
doors as Arnold from the ranks Of
American Revolutionists. No one
denies the right to differ Upon politl
cal subjects, but thassjS-ls something
that has heretofore been questioned
and that is the right OF a person II
enter into party conventions, ant
when defeated to bolt and counterfel
the name of the party he left, or coun
terfeit its insignia, and under tn
disguise, lead an enemy into its camp
to assassinate and destroy it. Me-
who love honesty so much, and VIII
love the Democratic party SO much
and who walk upon the turrets an
battlements of truth, SO that the worl
may see them and honor them, an
follow them, should be too proud
practice such deception, and feign a
object they do not desire, and an
lection they do not feel. ~
The work of the convention wi
soon be the laughing stock of the Ian
1t will be the most ridculed object
this political earth, before it 81
reached the age at which it's wet nur
Hanna can safely carry it to hie
priest Mckinley to be named al
christened. But if it has the streng
to pass that ordeal it will be too insi
nifcant to be needed by McKinle
and too much laughed at to be motto
by Bryan, SO if by accident rather TIL
otherwise, it lives its little life OF t'
short months, then will it pass out
existence, and it is to be hoped out
memory.

Bryan Touches Up Mr.. ingalls,.

Tn his Kenton speech Mr.. Bryan

Bryan. Suppose, however. Bryan
should be elected, would not these
creatures of the law run great risk of

coercion of employees, the use of money
and every means that their ingenuity

the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis

family laxative, Syrup of Figs. pronpt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ali 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

and the system is regular, laxatives OF
other remedies are then not needed. Ii
