After listening to him patiently for some time the voter interrupted by saying: *'Yes, I know, that's all right, but how do you stand on the silver ques- tion?" The candidate knew the views of the voter and immediately announced himself in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. This was satisfactory to the voter, but he had another question to put to the candidate, which was: How do you stand on the Monroe doctrine 7" This was a poser to the candidate, and after few moments reflection he replied Well, to tell the truth, I have not given that subject much consideration, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I will think this matter over and will let you know in day or two" They parted, and three or four days later the candidate met his friend on the street and said: T am glad to see you. I have been thinking over that Monroe street business you were talking about, and I am with you on it." The voter was too much amused by the reply to say whether he would favor the candidate with his vote or not.

A little more than year ago Mont gomery was in the throes of a city cam paign and candidates for aldermen could be found on every street corner. One of the bright young men who announced early in the game determined to leave rothing undone to win out in the race, and he began house to house canvass. One of the voters in his ward was staunch supporter of Captain Johnston and the strongest kind of an advocate for fhe free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. He was regarded as man of considerable influence and the alder manic candidate lost no time in hunting him up. The candidate went over the

main silent, but the people viii
speak out then.


A prophetic incident occurred dur
ing the races at Springfield the other
day, which the Springfield Register
thus describes and which shows that
even the race horses are coming out
according to Hoil this year:
John Z. Tanner distanced. That
was the announcement from the
starters stand at the state fair
grounds yesterday. Republicans
looked forlorn and detected. demo-
Gratis took up the announcement.
John r. Tanner distanced,' and
rended the air with cheers. Then
some republican arose up from
among the immense concourse on
the grand stand and proposed three
cheers for John 4. Tanner There
was Toll. but his own response WAS
the only one heard. Amid the
mighty hum of voices, it might
have been taken for the hum OF q
humble bee in a Jug. Then there
was laugh. 1t broke into a mighty
roar. which rose like a mighty wave.
and when it had somewhat subsidized.
some enthusiast shouted whats
the matter with Altgeld?n From a
thousand throats came the answer:
He's all right. Then the multitude
cheered again. From q score of
points almost simultaneously three
cheers for Altgeld we're proposed.
When the response came it fairly
raised the roof.
"The occasion of the demonstra-
ton was the 2:3O pace. An admirer
OF John X. Tanner had named bis
horse after the republican nominee
for governor. and entered him in
the race. John r. Tanner caught
the republicans in the crowd. They
proceeded to turn the race track into
a political demonstration. and when
John r. Tanner finished first in the
first heat. they howled lile mad
men. Joe Grout, Esq., attorney. led
the demonstration. A very lank
reachy horse, however. made the
beat very warm for John r. Tan.
ner. This horse was John Sea, but
that name was near enough to John
P. to popularize him with demo.
Gratis. SO in the next heat when John
Sea scooted past John r. Tanner.
and finished first in the handiest kind
OF fashion, the feat caused delirium
Of joy among democrats. Basil Dor
sey leading in the lusty applause.
John R. Tanner proved q very bad
inisher. though good in a prelimi-
nary heat. for he got worse and
worse. and finally IN the last heat he
fell back clear into the ruck. and the
flag at the distance pole fell in front
Of him as Gray Halls nose poked un-
der the wire with the field strung
out between. Joy reigned in the
democratic heart. and repu blicans
had no more interest in the races
that followed.
"'John K. Tsnner distanced. ,
That recalls race at the fair
grounds here four years ago on the
old track A devotee of Gov. Fifer
named horse after the then repub-
licau gubernatorial candidate, and
entered him in 3 pace. Five heats
were driven, aud the last words of
the judge in announcing the finish
heat were Joe Fifcr distauced.'
And in November, 1892, Joe Fifer
was distanced."

Who does not know women and
young girls who are continually in
tears? Who always see the dsrk
side? Who have frequent fits Of
melancholy without any apparent
cause? The intelligent physician
will know that it is some derauge-
ment of the complicated and delicate
feminine organs. The young girl
suffers, bodily and mentally. in
silence. There is undue WEAKNESS,
unexpected pain. unreasonable tears
and fits of temper. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription exerts wonder
ful power over women's delicate or
ganism. 1t is an invigorating tonic
and is specific for the peculiar weak
nesses. irregularities and painful de
rangements of women. Careless.
easy-going doctors frequently treat
their women patients for biliousness.

A CANVASS of a block in the Ninth
ward at st. Louis made last week,
shows how wild the republican can
vassers have been in their estimates,
This block was canvassed three
weeks ago by the Merchants League
club worker and he reported IS re-
publicans and tive democrats. Last
weeks house-to-house canvass shows
"a for Bryan and IL for Mckinley.
This poll shows that 10 republicans
in one block in one of the largest
German wards in that city Intend to
vote for Bryan.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1896-10-13
Speak Out. Mr.. MCKINLEY.

Mr.. Bryan's explicit and emphatic
declaration against trusts in his
speech at Tammany ball, New York,
entities Mr.. Mckinley to the floor on
this subject. Mr.. Bryan said:
81 am opposed to the trusts, and
If l am elected shall use as an ex.
ecutive what power l shall have to
drive every trust out of existence.
II present laws are not sufficient to
meet This evil. l, if elected, will rec
ommend such laws as will meet it.
IL the constitution OF the United
States is so construed as to prevent
any interference with the oper-
alton of a trust, l shall recommend
such an amendment to the constitu-
ton as will overcome that evil"
What has MIR. Mckinley to say on
this subject. The New York World,
goldite, says that in regard to trusts
in general Mr.. Bryan is sound, and
calls Mr.. Mckinley's attention to the
list Of 139 Of them recently published
in that paper. MIR. McKiniev must
be aware of the purely arbitrary ad-
vance of 81. so a ton in the price ot
anthracite coal by the great coal
trusts. What does he think of the
trust' Does he think they ought to
be suppressed? Will ne sny n,
much rs Mr.. Bryan did? Thus far
MIR. Mckinley has teen rs mum as
Nh oyster in regard to the trusts
All the trusts and com bines and
monopolies are supporting him: are
contributing their money to furnish
the literature. the speakers. the
torchlights, the red fire. AMI the en-
thusiasm for his campaign: are fur
nishiug free cars to carry delegations
to Canton. and to republican rallies
In Illinois and elsewhere; are exert
ing themselves in every wsy to coerce
and bulldoze wsgeworkers and the
people generally.l
The fact that Mr.. Mckinley has
not had word TO say against the
trusts is not only sisniticaut-it is
appalling. When we realize that

mates, all the street car svndicates 8,

all the vicious and moparchial in

and in favor Of Mckinley. the PM
lie can readily understand wbv Nc
Kinley does not pledge himself AZ
Bryan does, il he is elected to use as
an executive all the power he shall
have to drive every trust out of ex-
istence.
