Louisville, KY, January 17.--After
long eonfab behind closed doors, the re-
publican leaders have decided TO fight the
democrats to the last ditch. A committee
was appointed to decide on course oil
action. principally to determine how to 80
about securing Federal aid in keeping
Goebel out of his seat. The republicans
have received tip from Washington tnat
they must act quickly; the administration
has given its teucl men in Kentucky TO
understand that the moment dual gov

this has always been the policy at Wash

further borne in upon the men at Frank

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine IN the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grendmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fer
mentation of undigeete food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action Of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with head
aches and other aches. You only

Mr.. Towne is exceedingly ssnguine
over the states as quoted, and says
that there is q margin yet to be
counted upon. "Whlle the men at
the head of the ticket" said he, fare
the same as in 1896. the issues before
the people have undergone some Rd-
ditiions and alterations. These is
sues are such as to arouse the utmost
feelings of the people, and where the
people feel as keenly as they do at
the present time in opposition to I'M
perlalism there is gong to be some
strong indications of it at tbs polls.
Therefore, il is possible that in sddi-
ton to the above we may carry New
York, with its thirty-six votes; Ohio
with twenty-three; Washington, WIS
consin and Wyoming, twenty-eight
in all. I am. in fact, strongly in
clined to transfer the states of Wash

possible to the probable column.
