The best indication Of revulslon
against the free silver issue as a lead
ing feature, or even feature at all.
of next years Democratic platform,
and the leading silver leader, is found
in the efforts on the part Of eastern and
southern leaders to find a man for the
nomination for the Presidency who can
defeat Bryan. They are beginning to
organize for that purpose. and such
men as German and Baughman, of
Maryland; Harrity. of Pennsylvania;
Wills, Of Mississippi; Ex-senator But
Ter, Of South Carolina; Mr.. EustIs, of
louisiana, Judge wlllett, of Alabama,
and others. are prime movers in this
effort. The feeling seems to be in line
for an eastern and northern man. Van
wyck, of New York. and Ex-Governor
PattIson, of Pennsylvania, are the IA
vorItes, with the advantages favorIng
Van wyck, the ex-judge Of New York
City.
A conference is being held at Sara
toga, New York, between these men
from the north and south, to arrive at
some means to combine movement to
defeat Bryan. 1t is stated by the New
York Tribune, quoted yesterday In the
dispatches, that the southern Demo-
crats at Saratoga are kindly disposed
toward the Van wyck boom, and are
not a bit backward about expressing
their bitter opposition to Bryan.
Bryan has lost his popularity. and It
is beginning to appear so in the west,
as well as elsewhere. He is not now
spoken OF as national leader, and the
beet politicians in the party fail to see
In him an available candidate. His
one hobby, which brought him into
public light three years ago, has ceased
to be a hobby with everyone else, and
the financial conditions Of the country
to-day present every argument against

GoEBEL ERECTION LAW.
An IniquIty Incorporated in the
Statutes Of Kentucky.

An InIquIty Incorporated In the
Statutes Of Kentucky.
washington Post: An Inquiry was re-
Gently addressed to the Post asking for
an explanation Of the provisions Of the
Goebel election law. which is now a
prominent feature in Kentucky poll
tics. The law was passed in the win
ter Of 1888, and was given considerable
publicity at the time. but in view Of the
later developments bearing upon It O
restatement OF its salient points may be
Instructive TO some.
The law provides for the selection by
the general assembly Of a state board OF
election commissioners. consisting OF
three men, serving for a term OF four
years. This board Is authorized to ap-
point In each county OF the state
county board OF election commissioners
This later body In It's turn designates
two Judges, a clerk, and sheriff OF
election for each precinct In the coun-
ty, the law requiring that while two po-
liticai parties exist, the Judges shall be-
long to different parties, as shall also
the sheriff and the clerk. II Is the
duty OF the county board Of election
commissioners TO examine the election
returns and award certificates Of cleo
ton.
In contested election cases the coun-
tn board Of election commissioners Is
made the Judge In regard to county Of
ficers, while the state board OF election
commissioners Is constituted the judge
In officers elected by the votes OF more
than one county, except In contests
over the election Of the governor ana
Is vested In the general assembly.
Senator GOebel, the author OF the law,
has admitted from Its inception that II
was a party measure, but one which
was made necessary by the conditions
in Kentucky.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflRmed
condition OF the mucous lining Of the
Eustachlan Tube. When this tube Is
lnflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when II is en-
tireIy closed. Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which Is moth
