RESOLUTIONS.


endorse the National Democratic plat
form Of 1896, as adopted by the Dem
ocrats at Chicago, and the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform Of 1897, as adopted by
the Democr ts at Columbus, and b liev-
ing that we cannot have permanent pros
perity until the volume Of primary money
is increased fully 100 percent, we hereby
favor the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver and gold at the present legal ratio
of l6 to /, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other notion.
Resolved, That we favor the Wig rous
prosecution of the war with Spain, and
believe that to raise the necessary means
to prosecute the war, laws should at
once be passed by congress demanding
an income tax, the immediate coinage of
the seinorage aud such an increase of the
volume of legal tender notes as may be
necessary, and that there shall be no more
bonded indebtedness unless all other
reasonable means of raising revenue
therefor shall have failed.
The Democratic party has always main
tanned that the Judiciary should be COM
posed of men of the highest legal quail
ffications, integrity and character, and
TOO much Importance cannot be given to
the selection of our judges, especially in
these times when so many questions in
yolying the constitutional and other
rights of the citizen are arising.
This convention recognizes in Judge
A. A. Thayer, whose experience on the
bench and his many years of practice at
the bar, with his great ability as a
lawyer and his high character and stand
ing as a citizen, man most excellently
fitted to be one of the judges of our cir
cult court and we therefore present his
name as Stark county's candidate for
that position at the coming judicial con-
yention.
And be it resolved that the delegates
this day to be selected be and they hereby
are instructed to vote for Judge Thayer at
that convention so long as there is q
reasonable probability of securing his
nomination.
During the nesting remarks were
made by Otto f. Young, Mayor Riue, o.
G. Brown, Frank Kessler, Hon. j. @.
gelty, John t. Hays, Hon. John E. Mon.
not and others, the majority of the
speakers combining the remarks to eulogy
Of Judge A. A. Thayer, whose sterling
Democratic qualities and exalted legal
attachments recommended him for the
endorsement so splendidly accorded him.

to the care and skill with which It is
manufactured by scientific processes

all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co.

given to millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company guaranty

Needed at Santiago-More Spanish Sol-
dfers Embark-Fever Increasing
Among our Troops-Shafter to Leave
TOmOrrOXV.


Santiago, August Is, 4:30 p. m.-The
Massachusetts Aid Association hos
pital ship Bay State is expected to ar
rive tonight from Guantanamo bay.
Hospital supplies and nurses are much
needed. Large quantities of supplies
have already been distributed by DR..
E. G.. Bracket, of the Aid Association,
who arrived two weeks ago..
All the hospital ships leaving here
are under orders to return, as the
number of sick is too large for the
present service. The fever is increas-
ing among the remaining troops.
The Third regiment of immunes, un-
der Colonel Ray, arrived this after
noon on the Minnewaska.
Four thousand Spanish troops have
already been shipped and the trans
ports Villa DOngu and Estrada Panai
will leave tomorrow with 5000 more.
General Toral a more transports
will be needed than nave been prOvid-
I'd. Six thousand Spaniards at Guam
tanamo bay cannot leave before the
last of the month. Sickness is in
creasing among them.
The statement is made or good au-
thority that General Shafter will leave
on Saturday.
General Wood today ordered the sale
of whiskey, beer and wines stopped
everywhere, and provided severe pen
alties for infractions of the rule.
Miss Clara Barton, of the American
Red Cross Society, with a large por-
ton of her force, will leave the first
of next week.

Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about ii. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine n up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant to the Liver and
Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve
tonic. 1t cures Constipation, Head
ache, Painting Spells, Sleeplessness
and Melancholy. 1t is purely vegeta-
BILE, a mild laxative, and restores the
system to it's natural vigor. Try Elec-
trio Bitters and be convinced that they
are a miracle worker. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only SOC a bottle at r. r.
Bellamy's drug store.

Men and Women Tarred and Fealh cred

Parkersburg, W. Va, August 49,
About $50 or $50 men disguised as
"white-caps," visited the house of Su-
sic Colston. near Smithfield, Wettsel
county, n dragged the inmates, six
women and three men, out of bed in
their night clothes. No time was given
to get their clothes, money or valua-
bles. The house was then blown to
pieces with three sticks of dynamite.
The inmates were tarred and feather
ed and taken to the Shuman house
and all locked in a room together till
daylight. No apparent effort was made
to discover who did the act, and the
popular sentiment is that nothing
wrong was done.

A MURDER
An Indiana Volunteer Killed by a Negro
Intense Excitement Among the Sol.

0AOA
Newport News, August 1S.-Private
Alonzo Andrews, of Company l., One
Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana regi-
ment, was shot and killed by Sam
Hall, a negro saloon-keeper in Blood
field, a negro settlement in the coun-
ty, this afternoon. Private Jacob AL
mire, of the same company, was
wounded in the left foot by the same
negro. Both Of the men formerly lived
at Elwood, IND. The shooting seems
to have been unprovoked. Hall was in
a buggy when the shooting occurred
and his horse was in a gallop. He
raised UP and fired out of the back OF
the vehicle. The negro was arrested
and lodged in the city Jail, but the
feeling against him was so intense
that the sheriff took him out of town
for safe-keeping. Bloodfeld is under
martial law tonight and a post guard
patrols the city. A sk'rmish line vas
thrown out at Camp Grant to keep
h company of which Andrews was a
member from breaking out to avenge
the murder of their coElrade.
