The following letter was received
recently by Congressman j ID. Botkin.

the southeastern portion of Kansas and
who voted for Mckinley 10 1896. 1t
plainly shows the drift of the old
soldier sentiment:

The skin and the eyes are two good

has spots, eruptiOnS, an unhealthy
pallOr or yellow appearance, and the
eyes a glazed lock- with yellOwish

blood and regulate the liver aud
kidneys. Paine's celery compound
makes bright red blood and relieves
the liver and kidneys Of the strain
that is brought upon them whenever
impure blood is constantly pouring
through their substance.
There is every reason in the world
why Pane's celery compound should
build uD sickly people, increase their
appetite AMI nOurish every tissue in
their body.
As even children are aware, there
is blood all over the body. 1t is this
blood which builds up the tissues that

While the meeting passed no formal

The Mail rushes to the defense O
Boss Quay from the attack of John
Wanamaker. He says "Quay |;
doubtless a boss but he knows how
to organize the party and also how
to win at the polls; he also knows
how to keep his own skirts and those
of his party clear of all faint Of
corruption or boodling." This
means Of course, that he knows how
to cover up his corruption and
boodling" from the public gaze.
Any man who possesses this ability
will pass muster in Richards eye.
He may be as corrupt as hades but
if he can evade publicity and
maintain his standing the "excori-
ator" would justify him-unless he
had some malice toward him.
