This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather thar risk a little
time and money in faithfully testing
the claims made of a preparation so
reliable and universally used as

Portland. Nov. 3.-(Special)-We are
rapidly drawing TO the close OF the po-
litical campaign here, for tomorrow
evening the final rally will be held at
Civ hail when Senator Frye and Mr.
Allen will address the Republicans
There is sure to be large crowd IN
attendance and it is safe to predict that
the interest will be at its utmost. The
voting day comes on Monday and it can
also be safely predicted that the Re
publicans will elect Mr.. Allen by a
good, handsome majority.
The Democrats throughout the dis
trict are downhearted Of this there IS
no doubt They are far from being IN
accord upon the great issues of the hour
andwhile "Parson" Mckinney has been
busy in holding many meetings in each
of the two counties, the Democratic
managers realize that he has accom-
plished little good. "Parson" Mckln
ney. himself, is quite a hustler in the
political arena and he has no patience
with anybody in his own ranks who is
unwilling TO work zealously for the sue
cess of his side He has borne the
brunt of the Democratic battle ana Is
perhaps the strongest man that the
Democrats could have nominated.
The meeting that the Republicans
will hold at City hall tomorrow eve
ming. will be the only public one IN
Portland that the party has had during
the campaign.
