Where, oh where is the Mckinley
club of TexArkana? 1t has not met
in nearly two months. Among its
goldbup members are +. A. Schick-
er Ben Foreman, ct al, and these
men are now trying TO dominate
Miller county politics. As soon as
the state and county elections are
over, YOU will see these men take a
big dish in politics from the McKIn-
ley staudpoint-then the club will
be called together often, and there
will be a loud hurrah for gold. We
believe the voters of Miller county
are too good friends to silver to
vote as Foreman and Schicker die
tate. Every man on the Demo
cratic ticket is for free coinage
straight, so let us elect them by a
large majority, and confound the
Republican goldbugs.

The Daily Texarkanian., 1896-08-31

AS we have said before, the Dem
ocratic ticket is composed of good,
honest, capable men-the best
ticket it has put out in many years.
For the life of us we cannot see
how or why any man on it should be
scratched, and we do not believe
there will be much of it done. Let
us see Kirby is all right, able,
competent; Sandersou is certainly
all right, sober, honest and compe-
tent, and no man in the county
ever did harder or more faithful
work for his party; Dillard is GER
tainly all right, too, and deserves a
second term, is honest and faithful,
commended by every grand jury;
Hamilton is all right-so is the rest
of the ticket. Let us give our en-
tire ticket at least 300 majority,
then the mongrels will hide their
heads in shame, and we will have no
more trouble with them.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they can

cure deafness, and that is by consti-

suit, and unless the Inflammation
