The Grip epidemic is raging
in the Capitol City, and fully
third Of the government en-

the dread disease. Violent
headaches, fever and chills,
sneezing and running at the eyes

racking aches and pains and a
general exhaustion, are the rule
rather than the exception.
The best way to fight the Grip
is to strengthen the nerves and
build up the resistive powers SO
as to throw off the deadly dis
ease germs, and nothing will do
this so quickly and surely as DR..
Miles Nervine. 1t has restored
health to thousands of Grip suf
ferers after every other remedy
had failed.

1t is fact. When | first came
here, for several years, was made
to believe that there was something
wrong. The County Court and

the administration Of affairs from
the democratic party into the hands
of the republican party. Right then
l was made to scringe. l, being
a democrat, thought that l had
lived to see my party's mismanage-
ment fully exposed, being acquaint.

him to be a plain, straightforward

fully watched the papers for some
time and found no exposure made
by Judge Conrad and, though l

IniquitY Of the Trusts.

"There is another question, half
new and half old. The trust ques-
tion that was iu the campaign Of
1896, enough to get all the trusts
on the other side, and yet not
enough to make the people under
stand what the trust question
means. And even now you will
find people who say that the re-
publican party is doing all that it
can do.
"Whv, the trusts is so bad and so
indefensible that even in Ohio, in a
state convention controlled by Mr..
Hanna, they had to adopt resolu-
tion declaring trusts to be bad, and
when that convention condemns
the trusts who in all the world will
dare defend the trusts?
1.-The trust is bad because of the
monopoly feature. When few
people control product necessary
to human existence, then these
few control to a large extent the
lives and the happiness Of all who
produce those articles, all who
work in producing, and all who
furnish the raw material used in it's
manufacture.
"Can we afford to build up in
this nation q system by which u few
shall transmit wealth from genera
tom to generation, where the masses
can only hope for u clerkship under
some trusts?
"lf they say there IS no way to
stop the trust, that the republicans
are doing all they can, remember
that il is within the power of the
president to appoint an attorney.

However Croker Harrlty scheme
to tie up the two great delegations
of New York and Pennsylvania and
deliver them against Bryan and the

cordially it may be aided by the
Mckinley newspapers, which seek
our destruction, it will not be toler-

it will fail even more completely
than did the similar combination at
