THE VOTE PROVES IT

In the election of 1896 the city of Louis
Vile gave Mckinley 29,107 votes and
Bryan 1895. 1t was claimed then by
III the Democrats, and not seriously de-
MED, that the election officers (the Dem
ocrats were denied officers, Palmer ard
Buckper men being appointed bad stoi-
en- at least 5000 votes from Bryan.
Time at last sets all things even.
The recent election affords proof of the
1896 theft. This year the Democratic
revolt against Goebel was greater in
Louisville than anywhere else in the
State, twice as many Democrats being
opposed to him as were opposed to Bry-
an The election is admitted TO have
been fair, the Democrats contendinS only
that the presence OF military at the polls
intimidated voters and prevented Goe-
bells getting his full vote. The vote
as cast stood: For Taylor, 1S,445; foI
Goebel ,15,023; for Brown. 2,672.
This shows that McKinley's vote il
1886 was counted ten thousand votes
more than were honestly cast. Every
month dscloses some Of the frauds prac
ticed in 1896.

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is constitutional remedies.
Deafness IS caused by an inflamcd
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbllng or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tlrely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrah, which is no.h-
