that the Republicans could not muster

they would keep at least twenty-seven
Republicans out of the House caucus.
Instead of that, but one-third Of the
number remained away.
In the Senate caucus every Republi-
can was present, with the exception OF
Burke Of Cleveland. OF the ten alb
sentees in the House caucus two were
detained by illness, one of them send
ing word that he would support the
nominees of the party, while of the
other eight it is known that some will
vote for Senator Hanna.
To-night's results encourage the
friends of Senator Hanna, and the fight
will go on to the finish. They feel that
the sentiment of the Republicans of the
State and country is thoroughly aroused
against this plot to overthrow the will
of the people and obtain control of Con-
gress by the election Of a free-silver
Senator with Republican votes, and it
is confidently believed that this public
sentiment will be so felt by the men
who hold the power TO determine this
question that they will not refuse to
vote with the party which elected
them.''

a Remarkable Nnmber OF Cures Made

About one person in every four suffers
from some form OF rectal disease. The
most common and annoying Is itching

,ture and intense. uncontrollab bic itching
In the parts affected.
Z, The usual treatment has been soma
simple ointment or saive which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
Ing like a permanent. cure can be eS-
pected from such superficial, treatment.
e The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles. but :or
every other form Of piles, blind, bleeding
or prptrDdlng. The first application
gives instant relief and ;ne Continued
use for short time causes permanent
removal OF the tuHlors or the small par
as!tes which cause the intense itching
and discomfort OF itching piles. ~
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford

cainc, opium or similar drugs, but such
Is not the case. A recent careful analy-
Sis OF the remedy showed It to be abso-
.utely free from any cocaine, opium, or
In fact any poisonous, Injurious drugs
whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure exten-
slvely recommended by physicians, be-.
cause It Is so safe, SO prompt In the re-
liet afforded and SO far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical operation
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold Of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell It at 30
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co.. Marshall,
