The ups and downs in earthly affairs
are constantly occurring. Change is
the order Of nature, in all directions.
Nations, like individuals, run their
course, and rise and fall The excava-
tions where once were ancient cities are
adding greatly to history, showing an
advanced state of civilization little
dreamed of until these late develop
ments. Syria" says a French philos-
0pher, in writing on the fall of nations,
'in ancient times contained eight mill
lion Of inhabitants, and now hardly two
million Of wretched people, while the
same hills and valleys remain, and the
same sun shines"

How Mrs. Pinkham
HELPED MRS. GOODEN.


ILErTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. Is,zs,l
"I am very grateful TO you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
"I underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back to work. went back,
but in less than a week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone I felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
"The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you lookp and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. "-MRs. E, J..

A GALLANT FIGHT.

After as gallant a struggle as has
ever been made in the county, old Molly
Scark has again renewed her ad-
herence to the Republican party and
has given Republican candidates for
county offices safe majorities. The cam
paign was waged honestly and earnestly
by Democratic candidates and by the
Democratic committee, and in the face
Of the tremendous odds the results are
not to be complained Of. This is the
home of the president and he was the
issue. The policy he has adopted was
on trial and local pride again came to
the rescue Of the Republican party and
the candidates on the county ticket
benefited by the heavy Republican vote.
The Democrats are to be congratulat-
ed on the fight that was made, and
the candidates are deserving of the
best praise for the work they did and
the manner in which they did it.

A DEMOCRATIC SWEEP.
Maryland Carried by Approximately H.
800 Majority-Also Carried
the Legislature.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9.-Unofficial re-
turns from Baltimore city and all the
counties of the state show that the
Democrats swept practically everything
before them. John Walter Smith, DIR.
Joshua Herring and Isidor Rayner, their
candidates for governor, comptro oller
and attorney general, respectively.
We're elected over the Republican can
didates by approximately 1890 ma
jority. The official count, it is thought,
will not materially change these figures.
They elected II state senators for four
year terms, which, with their four
holdovers, will give them 10 ous Of a
total membership Of 26 in the upper
house OF the general assembly.
In the lower house, composed Of 81
members, the Democrats elected 66,
while the Republicans will have only
20 delegates in the legislature to meet
in January of next year.
In Baltimore city the Democrats
elected judge of the court of appeals,
clerk OF the city court, sheriff, state s
attorney, city surveyor and three judges
OF the orphans court.

The Result In Iowa.

DEs MONIES, Nov. 9-Returns from
% OF the 80 counties of the state, with
estimates on the others, show that the
Republican claim OF 10000 plurality for
Governor Shaw is easily maintained,
and may go slightly above that figure.
Based on the vote OF 1893. the vote this
year shows a Republican increase of
about 81 per cent and 10 per cent for the
Democrats. The legislature will stand !:
Senate, 30 Republicans and 10 Demo-
Gratis; house, SO Republicans and II
Democrats, gain of II votes on joint
ballot for the Republicans. Both the
Gear and Cummins forces claim a ma.
lority OF the Republican votes for the
United States senatorship.

Whatever may be CLEANED from the
election returns in the way of results,
there is nothing in them that implies
for a moment that John r. Mclean did
not do his part, as he promised in that
neat little utterance at f-e GAINESVILLE
convention, just after his nomination.
His leadership and generalship held the
vote to a remarkable degree. Personal
attacks formed the greater portion of
the alleged argument against the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Mclean, but unmindful of
them he pressed bravely on, doing all
that man could do to bring about a
Democratic victory. He failed. II all
the votes that were cast against the
Republican candidate had been cast for
John r. Mclean he would have won.
There is not, therefore, a complete en-
dorsement of the presidential policy in
the returns from Ohio, asa majority of
all the people did not vote to sustain
that policy. John r. Mclean stands
higher in the est nation of the Demo-
Gratis of Stark county than ever before.

The result of the election in Stark
county is not pleasing to the News
Democrat. This paper thinks a mistake
has been made. The Democrats of Stark
county put up a good fight, and are not
complaining. The News-Democrat
thought that the proper thing was to
put a few Democrats into the court
house and into the state legislative
halls and on the bench, and it still thinks
SO. But it is not wailing and really ex-
poets that by the time the next cam
paign arrives the people will have seen
their mistake. For the sake of the peo-
pie it hopes no mistake has been
made, but it may always be depended on
to be here to fight for the cause which
1t considers just and for the interests
of Canton and Stark county. Mean
while it will continue to give the people
the best newspaper in this newspaper

IA CONTEST IN KENTUCKY.
One Likely, No Matter What the Fac,
of the Returns Show In
That State.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 9.-No matter what
result the face of the returns of the state
election shows, contest is very likely
to occur. Additional returns received
continued to show Republican gains,
and, basing an estimate upon the nor
NAL complexion of the precincts still
unreported, indicate plurality of 5000
or 5000 for w. S. Taylor for governor
The belated returns are mostly from
mountain counties, which are strongly
Republican. The Eleventh district,
which, in 1896, gave Mckinley plural
ity of 1000, is only about half reported
Eleven out of 10 counties in this dis
trict give Taylor pluralities aggregating
12,O62, indicating that the Republicans
have carried the district by about the
same figures as in 1896.
The Goebel people cling to their claim
of plurality of 5000 in the state,
these figures being the estimate made by
the nominee himself.
AT Republican headquarters in this
city, Taylor's plurality is placed at
5000. In neither case is it possible to
get the figures upon which the claim is
based, each side evidently fearing that
giving publicity to the reports of it's
agents throughout the state might work
to the advantage of its opponent iu the
event of a contest.
Almost complete returus from Louis
vile and Jefferson county do not change
the previous estimate of Republican
plurality of little over 5000.
Governor Bradley il still in the city
and announces that he will remain here
for several days.
FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 9.-Senator
Goebel arrived here and was met at the
train by crowd of 1900 enthusiastio
followers. From the balcony of the
Capital hotel, where his headquarters is
located, Mr.. Goebel made speech, in
which he said:
"I believe have been elected, in fact,
1 know | have. l see my friend, Gen
eral Taylor, says he will assume the Of
flee OF governor. All have to say is if
have been elected, as believe, will
be inaugurated in spite of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad and Bradley bay.
onets."
Ex-senator Joseph Blackburn also
spoke, claiming Goebel's election by q
slender majority, and calling on the peo-
pie to see to it that he is seated.
