why Is IL CnaC Clle SoluDug press
pretend that Bryan was overwhelm-
ingly defeated when he received
about million more votes than
any other Presidential candidate
ever received previous to the elec-
ton of 1896? Because they want
to conceal their corruption, fraud,
and coercion by pretending that
their victory was an uprising of
the people.
How can the enormous vote cast
in the contested states in the late
Presidential election be accounted
| for? By millions Of money, intimi-
dation, and fraud.
Why do the republicans appear
to be in such a hurry to increase
the surplus in the treasury when
there is already locked up in
government vaults 1926, 100000 of
the peoples money? Because they
pretend to think that more tax.
alton and not more money with
which to pay taxes is what the
people need.
Why will not the gold standard
furnish mo1e money? Because we
are debtor nation, and the credi-
tor nations are buying :ap more
than double the product of gold
every ear and boarding it for war
purposes.
Why does Clevelapd's admins
tration constantly encroach upon
the Legislative department in the
administration of the laws and in
determining the relations which
this country holds to foreign
powers? Because the goldites, of
which he is one, are so much at
tached to the financial policy Of
the monarchies of the old world
that they are desirous of initiating
them III all things to the extent of
consolidating the powers Of the
government III the Executive and
subverting the government estab-
lished by the Constitution.
Why did the goldite democrats
nominate Palmer a1d Buckner for
President and Vice President? Fol.
the purpose Of electing Mckinley.
Why did they want Mckinley
elected? Because the platform
upon which he made his canvass
was ID favor Of the single gold
standard and recognized the su-
premacy of the mother country in
financial matters.
Why will the great majority of
those who voted for Mckinley be
sorry for it? Because it will in
crease their distress which they
attempted to avoid by changing
1le1 anne of Cleveland to the name
OF Mckinley without change of
policies.
Why are the farmers of this
country compelled to sell their
products IN European markets for
less than the cost Of production
Because their competitors, who in
habit the ilver-standard countries,
receive twice as many dollars for
the same products sold in Europe
as the American farmers receive.
Why do the more dollars which

United States receive in the same
market for like commodities, bene-

CASE OF ELOPEMEN
A Runaway Couple From Sistersville
Captured al Bellaire--.NatiOnality
Caused the Objectionable Strikers
Concert Other Bellaire News.

Word was received at the police
night from Sistersville, telling them to
be on the alert for a young couple by
the names of James Thompson and
Mary Faber, who had eloped from there
early in the afternoon. The Wheeling
authorities in turn notified the neigh
boring authorities and at an early hour
yesterday morning they were found reg
istered at the Hotel Windsor in Bell
aire. They occupied separate apart
ments and were allowed to remain at
the hotel until daylight, when Mayor
Williams notified the marshal of Sis
tersville, who in turn ordered their ar
rest. Lieut. O'Neill called at the hotel
and found the couple was accompanied
by man and that he and Thompson
had left shortly before for ST. Glars
vile to procure marriage license. The
young lady was at the hotel awaiting
their return and was arrested and taken
to the headquarters, where the Leuten-
ant questioned her closely, finding that
she was strongly determined to marry
the fellow.
Mayor Williams, after learning Of the
departure of the two men, Immediately
telephoned to Marshal Bahra, who was
at the time on business at the county
seat, to stop the men from securing
the license. The latter appeared before
the Probate Judge just in time to pre-
vent it, and placing the men under ar
rest brought them back to Bellaire.
When the party arrived they were very
much surprised to find that the brides
father and uncle had also arrived from
Sistersviile. The parties concerned re-
turned to their homes yesterday after
noon and the matter will likely remain
as it is for some time. The young lady
is eighteen years of age and of Jewish
birth. The chief reason Of her parents
objection was that the young man is of
Grecian descent.

M RS. MACK UNEASY.
She Spent a Restless Night After
Hearing of the Conviction Of
Thorn.


NEW YORK, December 1.-Martin
Thorn. who last evening heard the verdict
of the jury which will send him TO the
electric chair TO expiate the murder OF
William Gudensuppe, passed quiet night
in his cell in the Queens county Jail.
When Sheriff Don't went In to see Thorn
this morning the condemned prisoner said
that he had no appetite for breakfast, but
he felt that a big load was off his mind.
Thorn did not talk as If he had any hope
of getting a new trial. He supposed, he
said, he would have to make up his mind
to meet the worst.
Mrs Mack spent a restless night. being
evidently much affected by the conviction
of Thorn. When she heard of the verdict
she wept and expressed sorrow for her
former lover, although she says her con-
science is relieved Mrs. Mack is in
highly nervous condition. and is very anx-
ious about her own case. District Attor-
ney Youngs has not pronounced just what
he proposes to do IN the case of Mrs. Mack.
but says he will take no action until
Thorn is sentenced.
1t is understood that Mrs. Mack viii be
arraigned in court next week, when her
counsel. Emanuel Friend. will in her be-
falf, enter d pea Oh Sullty VI uisiHS aukH
ter in the first degree. and that the district
attorney will accept the plea. In doing
this Mr.. Youngs would be recognizing
Mrs. Nack's action in turning States evil
dence at the first trial Mrs. Mack may
be sentenced to 20 years imprisonment.
The Herald this morning says Martin
Thorn. who sat in his cell last evening.
sneering and defiant, talked of the time
when he was to be sent away as though
his execution was merely BARRIERS Sum

81 am glad" he said. that the jury did
mot disagree. I would rather have them
give a verdict of murder in the first de-
gree than to have them disagree or to give
a verdict in any other degree. wanted
either acnuittal or a verdict in the first
degree.
II wish to deny that confessed to any
body. after the giving Of the verdict that
Mrs. Nack's version was the correct one.
Everything happened just as / told 1t on
the stand"
He showed trace Of feeling when Mrs.
Mack was referred to. 'It does rot make
amy difference to me- he said. what
they do with her. They can do what they
please You needn't trouble yourself
about me trying to commit suicide. I'm
not going to do anything TO save the eo'in~
ty or the State the expense of killing me.
I'll make the State pay for IT'S trouble.

4 RELIC OF THE PAST


A Medical Discovery Which Will Change
the Treatment of All such Diseases.
1t has long been thought, not only
by some physicians, but by People in
general, that the common, painful and
exceedingly annoying trouble, piles,
was practically incurable by any other
means than surgical operation, and
this belief has been the cause OF years
Of needless suffering, because OF the
natural dread of surgical operations.
There are many salyes, ointments and
similar remedies On the market which
afford some relief in cases of piles, but
the Pyramid Pile Cure is the only prep
aratiOn so far introduced that can be
reliably depended upon to cure to stay
cured, every form Of itching, bleeding
or protruding piles.
Mrs. M. c. Huxley, Of COL Mississippi
ST., Indianapolis, was told by her ply
sicianS that nothing but surgical OPP
Grafton costing between seven and eight
hundred dollars, could cure her, as she
had suffered for Is years; yet even in
such case as hers the Pyramid Pile
Cure accomplished completee cure.
She says: Il knew an operation would
be death to me, and tried the Pyramid
with very little hope, and it is not to
be wondered at that l am so enthusiasts
tic in its praise
Mr.. D. E. Reed, of South Lyons,
Mich, says 1 would not take $500 and
be placed back again where l was be-
fore l used the Pyramid Pile Cure. l
suffered for years and it is now eighteen
months since I used it and not the
slightest trace of the trouble has re-
turned
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
nearly all druggists at so cents and 81
per package, and as it contains no
opium, cocaine or other poisonous drug,
can be used with perfect safety.
No one need suffer from piles in any
form who will give this excellent rem
edy a trial. Send for book on cause
and cure of piles, sent free by address

senior associate retires, would take
place, but even this formality was
