Yesterday.
Second only in point of intere.t to
the republican convention at the |
same place IS months ago, before |
which Congressman G. W. Prince
hnaiiy won, was the democratic con.
vention held at Galva yesterday.
The intensity and eagerness Of the
contest for the congressional nomi-
nation indicated that the win
uer proposes to be in it at the
polls the coming fall. The resolu-
tions Of the convention upheld the
tenets OF the democratic party
handed down from the times of JET
ferson and jackson, commended the
administration OF Gov. Altgeld and
declared for the free coinage of sill
yer. Very little was done other than
the perfecting of the tenn Porary or
ganiz ization-which, as announced yes
terday, was afterward made perma-
nent at the morning session.
Charles Buford, OF Rock Island,
was made chairman OF the COM
mittee on credentials.

were as presented in The ARGUS of
! last evening. Charles Buford, the
chairman o. the Rock Island county
delegation, presented the name of
W. 4. Moore, aud p. NJ. Kadel, of
Moline, seconded the nomination.
The candidates were called before
the convention at the end Of tue
| 18th ballot when no choice was
apparent ard each made short
speech. The first Is ballots showed
each county for its own candidate
with little prospects Of a nomination,
"a being necessary for q choice,
Henry county giving s to j. X. Blish,
Knox for Lattimer, Mercer for
Deforres., Rock Island II for Moore,
Stark for Lat,imer, Whiteside
s iot Coulan. Blish was dropped af-
ter the second ballot and thereafter
the Henry county vote wss distrib-
uted among the different candidates.
Knox stood by Lattimer and Rock
Island for the most part by Moore.
Lattiu er and Moore each reached 22
votes at times and DeForres. went up
to % once, but the coveted one Was
not Forthcoming. The deadlock con-
tinued until the 39th ballot, when
knoX came to Roch Island, and the
others following suit Moore received
Is votes and the unanimous nomiEa
tion. Lattimer is democrat of bu,
two months, having on the silver is
sue deserted the republican party

For Your Protection.

Catarrh ''cures" in liquid form to
be taken internally, usually contain
either mercury or iodide of potassa,
or both, which are injurious if too
long taken. Catarrh is local not q
blood disease caused by sudden
change to cold and damp weather
Il starts in the nasal passages. Cold
in the head causes an excessive flow
of mucus. and if repeatedly neglected
the results of catarrh will follow,
and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Ely's Cream Balm is the ac-
knowledged cure for these trou bles
and contains no mercury nor any in
furious drug.

In conclusion l want to
give the editor of the Herald
the following advice, viz;
First, quit lying, and then
if he wants to live long and
be happy, | advise him to
get out of that cold, bleak,
icy, snowy country, and
come south, Come to good
old Arkansas where hundreds
of happy homes await the
homeless, where there is hog
hominy and honey for the
hungry. Where there is
water pure as any beneath
the shining sun, to cool his
parched and 81 a nd e rou S
tongue. Where the cooling
breezes from the southern
slopes will fan his frost-bit-
ten brow, and the mountain
air pure as the dew-drops
that fall from heaven, will
kiss his checks with the
bloom Of youth, paint his lips
and curl his hair, and make
his complexion light and
fair.

It is an eaSV matter +O see

1t is an easy matter to see
who are for, and who are
against Bryan. The poor
people are almost unani -
mously for him, while the
corporations, bankers, and
their like are against him.
1t has been clearly proven
that the rich men of our ma
tion always oppose every
move that is calculated tc
benefit the laboring (. men,
hence we conclude that as
Bryan is being so hardly
fought by the money chan.
gers that he is the man tc
help assist the laborer.

The laboring men of

Why do they say so?
Because he is their friend.
Do the millionaires, banks,
bond holders, trusts, and
combines like him?
You bet nit"
Why?
Because his election would
ruin their business.
How's that?
because with him as pres1-
dent, silver would again be
money, and that would N
jure their business.
How would free silver III
jure them?
1t would make money Sc
cheap that the poor people
could get some Of It.
Don't the rich people want
the poor people to have it?
Not them.
Why not?
Because they want il
all.
Have they got it all now?
Not quite---bu very neal
it.
And they want to keep it,
That's their game.
And Bryan don't want
them to?
No you bet.
Then, Hurrah for Bryan
He's all right.
Who's all right?
Bryan,
Who says so?
We do, the laboring mer
of America.

EDITORS RECORD:

In your issue of Sept, 25th
| notice an article from the
pen of the editor of the Car
bondale Ill, Herald, in which
he attacks the people of Ark
ansas in a spiteful and ma
levolent manner. The SLAM
der is so absurd and mon
strous to all who know the
facts, that it would be a
waste of words to notice it,
if it were not that credulOus
persons who do not know
this people might believe
there is something in it.
l was born and lived the
greater part of my life in the
north. The past twenty
years | have lived in Arkan-
sas. l know the people OF
the north and | know the
people of Arkansas, and l
know the editor of the Car
bondale Herald is falsifer,
and for this reason l feel
constrained to take up my
pen in defense of a people
that | have learned to loye
and respect for their many
virtues.
If this Carbondale editor
has ever read a book called
the "Holy Bible" (Which l
doubt he has failed to learn
that it teaches Thou shalt
not bear false Witness" It
is such men as he that keep
alive the old fires of strife
which blazed to heaven and
drenched this fair land with
blood in the sixties. Not
satisfied with chatting and
tantalizing our wound e d
pride over defeat, following
up with the CALLING chains
and humiliating days Of re-
construction, they now, in
this, the year of our Lord
One /, Thousand Eight Hun
dred and Ninety Six, tell the
world through such a medi-
um as the Carbondale Her
aid that we are a pack of
worthless renegades. And
this to come from the cultur-
ed north, and the great state
of Illinois-the boasted land
of patriotism, Great heav-
ems! Is this patriotism? Is
it a necessary qualification
of.a northern patriot t h a
he be possessed with the
spirit of a demon, that will.
hound the people of the south
to..their .ssgraves-or beyont
to the very ga tes of HEAVIER
or hell to give them a part
ing kick?
This blue.bellied yankee
editor is inclined to be hui
merous, He says the people
of Arkansas are flank -belliet
and have a hungry look.
Lordy! what would he say
could he gaze on the "beau'
tiful figure" of DIR. Bacon OF
the manly form of Viii,
Cochran and the pre- t t y
physique of our own sweet
self? and we have long noses
he says. Of course a man
living In the Arctic region
he does, never sees a nose OF
decent length they are all
frozen the first winter after
the owner is born. Our
principal occupation he says
is drinking whiskey and
hanging niggers." Yes, we
do turn out once in a while
and hang a nigger or two
before breakfast. but that
is none of Mr.. Carbondale's
business. The niger hard
ly ever. objects. When con-
fronted with his crime he
