THE Mccoy adherents are dolng themselves no credit in resorting to snap conventions for the purpose of stocking the Democratic Central Committee to sit and pass judgment on his case. MT. Brewster has contested McCoy's apparent plu- rality and asks an investigation of the charges of fraud he (Brewster) makes. If these charges can be substan tiated, Mr. Brewster is the legal nominee; if not, Maj. Me- Coy is the nominee and entitled to the allegiance of Democrats. But MT. Mccoy owes it to himself and
 the Democracy of the county to court fair investigation and to establish that he was nominated without fraud. If by any kinds of jobs the Mccoy adherents stock the committee and prevent an open and fair investigation, the people will rebuke them at the polls in Sep tember. This should be fair and honorable contest, and the people will not submit to unfairness,
 snap conventions and stocked com mittees resorted to to defeat a fair investigation into party methods.

Articles of Contest.

The GRAPHIC publishes elsewhere today articles of contest flied by MT. Edgar Brewster Wednesday be- fore the Democratic County Gen. tral Committee. The petition was heard, as was also one from Mr. w. B. SorrelIs, and referred to the new County Central Committee to be elected, and will come up for further consideration at a meeting of the committee on June the 1st.
 By the sworn af1idavits of the voters in Melton township, Mir. Brewster shows that votes that were cast for himself, Mr. Phillips and Philpot were transferred to Mccoy, and instead of Mccoy re ceiving 39 votes. Brewster 4 votes, Phillips votes and Philpot 2 votes as returned by the judges, Mccoy received only votes, Brewster 8 votes, Phillips 34 votes and Philpot votes.
 Unfairness and fraud are alleged in Bolivar and Bogy townships.
 The charges are serious and sup ported by the afidavits of loyal Democrats and creditable witnesses. They deserve to be investigated to the bottom, and the Democratic County Central Committee will be false to itself and to it's party if it does not throw out the search light of truth on all dark places.

any rings, office-holders or men of strong political pulls at his back, but he went before the people and by mere industry and merit is be- lieved to have won.
 But strong politicals combina- tion of conspirators and hackneyed office seekers has been formed to defrauded him of his well earned prize. By corrupt practices and a debauched ballot, and for purposes of profit and gain, these arch conspira- tors are attempting by foul means to defeat the voice of the people. Will the county central committee allow it to succeed? Will tbe people countenance such a thing? Will they submit to it?
 Mr. Brewster does not want the nomination unless he has won it, but if he has won it, he has friends and the people at his back to see that he gets it.
 A debauched ballot and false elec- tion returns will not be tolerated in this county. If fraud is resorted to the honest people of the county will rise up to protect the good name and fame of their county, and hurl the authors of it from power, if not send them to the penitentiary.

THE JOURNALS POETS.


He was ruled by two passions-the one for his
wife. the other for freedom and the latter was
of liberty under all her protean forms-a pursuit
sometimes stern. always sangune. and main
rivaied, unless it be by Mr.. Gladstone in our
day.-Miss Edith Sichels The Household of
Lafayette.
Now who is he that being in love with love-
With understanding and a faithful heart
Walks not with freedom, as the strong gods
move.
Nor counts her service loves diviner art?
For love were but base and selfish thing
Lust of the flesh. of degraded souls
mean ambition, if it dared not fling
Its own red heart on freedoms altar Goals.
The peerless Frenchman loved and loving wrought
For love and freedom, which in truth are one,
In that last sacred synthesis of thought
When motive ripens and great deeds are done.
America the grateful, though, perchance
Oblvious of her own, shall meier forget
The golden heur de lis of friendly France
Nor the great soul of youthful LAFAYETTE
The soul of love and liberty, the soul
OF hero faith that flung itself all bare
Into the breach when freedoms martial roll
Seemed but the echo of an old despair
The old despair of liberty that walled
Above Athenas dead democracy
Or when proud Rome's republic sick ming, paled
And to brute despots bent the cringing knee.
He whom great Webster praised, Beranger sang
And all America and freedoms own
From every cline, hailed with the tocsn's clang
And booming guns and bugles blthely blown.
When, youth longer smiling on his brow,
He came to bask again in freedoms sun,
Needs not the praise of any minstrel now
His fame secure, his fadeless glory won.
o marvellous feur de lis of sunny France,
May thy fair petals open ever more
In freedoms radiance and no dark mischance
Sow tares and nettles on the Gallo shore!
No may Paris run with patriot blood
While murder fiaunts the name of liberty
To sanctify her crimes, foetid food
That shipwrecks hope and browns the heur
de lisl
But whatsoe'er betide thee, sunny land,
One name of thine is our temple traced.
One statue in loves sacred niche shall stand
Till temple, love and niche shall be effaced.
The name is his who lonely, crossed the main
And walked the wrath of many a little king;
The form is his who broke the CALLING chain
AS Frances nightingale rejoiced to sing"
Belitte him who may, in freedoms cline
The radiance of his star shall never set,
Like those great lights that measure space and
time
Shall glow for aye the name of Lafayette.

Hill and Valley.

To the lovely valley of Cares-forgot,
The children are straying, happy band;
All crowned with the blue of forget-me-not,
There's a rose of love in each dimpled hand
1 follow them down from the hills above
And 1 choose a rose for my own true love-
There's schoolhouse gray at the mountains
feet,
bell with its melodic memories
OF the letter-box in the wood-retreat.
And the joys we told to the lisping trees.
Come, my heart, to me, from the drear upland,
With d rose of love in your outheld hand.
Oh the children lead me along the stream,
And an olden bridge in the restful shade
Beguiles me to linger awhile and dream
OF the first love-bliss of a boy and maid.
1 turn from the hills where my cares abide,
And hasten, my love, to our chimney-side.
IT'S there in the valley of Cares-forgot,
Our joys shall be joined end eur loves ne'el
part;
rest and song in the lovers cot,
With never a thought of the hills, sweetheart
If Sorrow should call to the drear upland,
Then go we together, love. hand in hand.

DIAMONDS IN AMERICA.
$500 100000 Worth of the stones I'm
the United States.
Godey's Magazine.


In no country are there more diamonds to
be found than in the United States, accord
ing to the population. 1t is estimated by
a leading Maiden lane, New York, diamond
dealer that there are upward of 520,O00,0c0
worth of diamonds in this country. More
over, this vast amount is Increasing year
by year.
Until quite recently diamonds were rarely
cut in this country, but American inventors
have developed a process for diamond cut
ting which is vastly superior to that done
abroad.
sometimes fully one-half, but the value is
increased probably more than two-fold.
The Dutch city of Amsterdam has been
the great diamond-cutting center of the
world from time iTnmemorial, and up to a.
few years ago over twelve thousand people
in that place were, directly or Indirectly,
dependent upon this trade.
But it was not reasonable to suppose that
Amsterdam should continue TO hold a mo-
nopOly of diamond cutting. AS one of the
greatest importing cities of the world, New
York gradually offered inducements to dfa-
mond cutters. and the industry has been
gradually built up here that is now very
ffourishing and profitable. In 1853 Henry ID.
Morse of Boston, Mass, invented a ma
chine for cutting and polishing diamonds,
and since then improvements have been
made upon IL that are very important The
by hand. but in this country machinery is
largely used.
A famous gem expert places the total
value of all the diamonds In the world at
over 81, 900 10000, of which $3.50, 900 worth
are in the hands of dealers, carried as stock.
All OF the other diamonds are IN the hands
of private individuals, and the question nat
urally arises, Who owns them? This is not
so easily answered, except in the case Of
large and World-famous gems.

THE PROBLEM SOLVED
THE NEW MEDICAL DISCOVERY
TESTED.
Results of the Test in Various Forms
of Dyspepsia.

Chronic indigestion or dyspepsia. while
very common trouble. has for some time
been looked upon by able physicians as a
serious thing, and that no time should be
lost in treating it properly at the start, be-
cause recent researches have shown that
the most serious, fatal and incurable dis
eases have their origin in simple dyspepsia
or indigestion.
Diabetes is simply one form of indigestion,
the sugar and starchy food not being as
simulated by the digestive organs. II
Bright's disease the albumen is not prop
erly assimilated.
While consumption and dyspepsia are
twin diseases, and it is beyond question that
dyspepsia makes fertile soil for the seeds
Of consumption.
But the trouble has been to find a remedy
that could be depended upon to cure dyspep-
STA, as 1t is VIGOROUSLY obstinate and diff
cult to cure.
This has been the question which has
puzzled physicians and dyspeptics alike,
until the question was solved three years
ago by the appearance of new dyspepsia
cure in the medical world known as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which it was
claimed was as a certain, reliable cure for
every form of stomach trouble.
ny oiSAdAlS, nOWShSTs WOulu not accept
such statements without first giving the
new remedy many tests and carefully OBJ
serving results.
For three years the remedy has been
thoroughly tested in every section of the
country and with surprising and satisfac-
tory results
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be honest
ly claimed to be specific, radical lasting
cure for indigestion in the various forms of
acid dyspepsia or sour stomach, gas or
wind on stomach, too much bile, undue full
ness or pressure after eating and similar
symptoms resulting from disordered diges-
tlon. Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets were not
placed Defore the public until this three
years trial left no doubt to their value
and they have recently been placed in the
trade and can be found on sale at all drug
glSts at the nominal price OF SO cents per
package.
No extravagant claims are made for the
remedy. 1t will not cure rheumatism, pneu-
mon1a, typhoid fever nor anything but Just
what 1t is claimed to cure and that is every
form of stomach trouble.
NO dieting is necessary, good wholesome
FOOD and plenty of it and you may rest as
sured that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
digest it,
Druggists claim for it that it is a pleasure
10 recommend 1t to dyspeptics, because it
gives such universal satisfaction.
