ed by an Increased
Majority.
Z,

notwithstanding the extremely an
pleasant condition of the weather
Monday the largest vote ever polled
here at a Democratic primary was reg
istered, the total number of votes be-
ing $40, al increase of SO votes over
the primary of 1894. Everything
passed off very quietly during the
day and the candidates all worked
like beavers, ably assisted by their
friends. At six O'Clock the polls were
closed and at seven the judges and
clerks met in the City Clerks office
to count the ballots.
AS an announcement had been made
that the result would be cried from a
window in the Clerks office, a large
crowd gradually gathered on the
south side of the Post Office and every
eye was fastened on the window.
Hour after hour passed and still no
announcement came. At last, about
twenty minutes to twelve, j. T. john
son came to the window and read the
results amid frequent cheers from the
crowd.
The vSte in some instances was
very close and there was one tie, be-
tween John Abbay and A. S. Houston,
in the First Ward, each one receiving
102 votes.
The following official report of the
final count shows how many votes
each candidate received in each ward
and how many votes were cast:

The old man who looks out at the
world with clear and healthy eyes
cannot help feeling great qualification
at the thought that his children have
inherited from him no weakness nor
tendency to disease. The healthy
old man is the man who has through
out his life kept his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in a
thousand does do it. Germs go
through the healthy body without eff
feet. Let them once find Judgment
or let them find weak spot, they will
develop by the million and the blood
will be full of them. Instead of Civ
ing strength to the tissues, it will
force upon them innutritious matter,
and the man will lose flesh and the
more susceptible he is to disease. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the only medicine that absolutely and
infallibly cures all blood diseases,
and almost all diseases are blood dis
eases. 1t isn't a medicine for some
one particular so, called disease. 1t
is medicine for the whole BODY. It
forces out all the germs of disease,
and replaces impurities with rich, red
blood.
