would be due to democratic pro-gold

votes.
But the Telegraph believes, and
there are substantial reasons for it's
faith, that the democratic ticket can
win without the aid of those who last
year bolted the Chicago platform and
ticket. and who still favor the gold
standard. Indeed, it is confident that
victory will be more certain with the
gold democrats" in open opposition
than in cooperation. The non-ful-
fillment of the Mckinley promises OF
prosperity is every day swelling the
ranks of the silver legions, and the
accessions would be more rapid and
greater still if by cutting loose from
the party tie gold democrats" should
allay the suspicious of almost con-
verified. hesitating republicans who
would gladly embrace the new de-
mocracy if fully satisfied that it il
untainted by Cleveland democracy.
The recognized party and the silver
cause have much to lose and nothing
to gain by the assistance of the bolt
ers, and it is therefore sincerely to be
hoped that, acting on the honorable
suggestion of the Davenport Demo
GRAFT, those who were and are yet in
sympathy with the Indianapolis plat
form will nominate and support a
state ticket of their own. The regu-
lar democrats do not want them or
their aid. Such former democrats as
strayed away, but now perceive and
admit their error and desire to re-
turn, will find the doors unbarred.
They are free to enter the temple,
and, after period of probation to
test the sincerity of their repentance,
they may be advanced to the sanctu-
airy. But there is no welcome for the
obdurate 'goldites." These may vote
the ticket, but if they do they will
vote it without invitation or encour-
agement. And if they vote it they
will simply add inconsistency and
treachery to political heresy, for the
election of the fusion ticket must in
fallibly strengthen the silver cause,
and the gold man who contributes to
this result is insincere, fatuous, or
traitor to his protested principles.
However, the Leaders supposition
is a product of the imagination that
will have no counterpart in fact
Thirty thousand gold democrats"
will not and cannot vote the fusion
ticket becauses there not that many
in Iowa. We doubt that there are
10000, and are satisfied that the gold
democrats" themselves doubt it, If
they had faith in their strength they
would second the proposition of the
Democrat. That not one of them has
seconded it Is confession of their
weakness. They will purposely lie
concealed in the bush, raise a great
noise to make the public think they
are numerous, and profess to support
the ticket while perhaps secretly
it, to the end that if the
party triumphs they may claim that
it was through their aid and employ
the claim to discount the victory for
silver. This is a part of the Wall
street game. 1t will not succeed,
however. The regular democracy
can and will win without them, and
when it has won it's victory for free
coinage it will be proclaimed as such.

"The Gold Democrats.

Replying to the statement of the
Telegraph that in the event of the
success of the fusion ticket at the
next state election the result will be
interpreted and heralded by bimetal-
lists as victory for free coinage, the
Des Moines Leader says:
'The Telegraph. of course, is at
liberty to draw what conclusions it
wishes from the result; this is a free
country, and newspapers are at full
liberty to interpret any event as
they please. But supposing that this
falls election shall show a majority
of 10000 for the fusion nominee, and
supposing it shall be fact plainly
evident that 10000 gold democrats,
without profession of change of
opinion on the silver question, shall
vote for that ticket on the theory
that it is state election, and nation
al issue may properly be disregarded,
claim that Iowa had declared for free
silver? What assurance would the
Telegraph have when the silver ques-
lion again came directly to issue,
that those 10000 gold democrats
would not do again as they did last
fall? Any one can call spirits from
the Vastly deep, but not always will
they come. A newspaper may put
what Interpretation it pleases on an
election, either before or after the
polling, but it does not necessarily
prove the verify of that interpreta-
tion."
In the supposed case the claim that
the success of the democratic ticket
was a triumph for free and unlimited
bimetallic coinage could not be sus-
tanned, tor while the result would
show that the cause had gained it
would also show that the silver forces
lacked more than 2O, 900 of majority.
Granting the supposition the victory

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fonr
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kid
neys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to ur1nate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof
that the kidneys and bladder are out

 The reports showed that the small amounts due on errors had been promp ly remitted.

4 TEMPORARY INJUNCTION sfsa Granted Mrs. Cohen to Prevent Sale of Her Property. AGAINST THE BEE HIVE A Bill Is Filed Praying for Receger-A
 Dozen Candidates for CoaIburg
 Court News.

A temporary injunction has been grant ed out of the chancery court to Mrs. J. Q. Cohen against the city preventing the sale of her property for the non-payment of sewer assessment to the amount of $3.50.
 1t is alleged that the sewer in question is about one mile from her property and that the city has no record of the charges against the property. The final hsarlng of the bin has not been set.
 J. Patterson filed a bill against the Bee Hive and w. T. Bledler & Co.,, of Balti- more, seeking the appointment of re- eeiver for the Bee Hive company. The application was refused.
 It was held that the name Bee Hive was used by w. T. Biedler & Co. to do business in Birmingham and that the. complainant only desired the appoint- ment of the receiver until such time as he might become reimbursed for loan of S1000
