POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

In re ROoseNeIt.-Soneo Of the Admin

TO the Vice Presidential question within
the past three days. The humorous Coz.
Henry c. Payne has not brought out a
candidate for fully a week. but meantime
the industry has been kept thriving by
ether members of the machine. Some
body is responsible for the boOms 1or
Senator Elkins and Postmaster General
Smith, and while the pendulum is swing
ing on this side Of the line, which marks
the division between the East and West,
Governor Roosevelt again comes canter-

place on the ticket. It is, Of course. sus-

Rough Rider a prod which sent him to--

Proctor Against Quay.--An apparent
~ we'll authenticated report has gained
considerable credence that Senator Proc
tor has been doing some very enec-
tive work against the Hon. Matthew stan
ley Quay for the past week or ten days.
Il is stated that he has brought around 10
his view Of the case nine OF the Republi-
can Senators who voted, as he did to seat
Corbett, which ease is being used by both
sides as a criterian In the Quay ease, des-
pite the fact that the merits Of the two
contentious are quite dissimilar. The
Vernonter, Il Is stated, talks very freely
10 his colleagues against the seating OF
Quay. though he sternly refuses to discuss
the subject for publication. II Senator
Proctor has made the headway against
Quay that is claimed it appears certain
that the Pennsylvania stands a very poor
show And yet the omniscient Uncle
Joe" Stbley grows red in the face when
anybody in his presence expresses the least
doubt OF Colonel Quay's complete triumph.
Uncle Joe" has finally come out in pub
iished statement laying down the Law and
the facts. He declares that Quay not only
will win his contest at Washington, but
also will be triumphantly reelected when
the Legislature meets at Harrisburg These
asseverations have led the astOunded Sib-
ley critics 20 the comforting conclusion that
that versatile statesman, IN his recent mar
velOus gymnsstic feats has swung him
self past both the Democratic and Repub-
iicau parties and Is now forming a new
party around TIE fame and achievements Of
Quay.

TO treat is as q purely local disease. +bis
is the reason why salvcs and ointments
have so little effect and the wide spread
success of the Pyramid Pile Cure has
demonstrated 1t.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not A salve
nor ointment, but is in suppository form
which is applied at night, absorbed into
the sensitive rectal membrane and acts

cures.
Many pile sufferers who have under

or cure have been surprised by results
from few weeks treatment with the
Pyramid suppository.
The relief from pain Is so immediate
that patients sometimes imagine that
the Pyramid contains opiates or cocaine
but such is not the case, it is guaranteed
absolutely free from any injurious drug.
The cure is the result of the healing

DEMOCRATIC LEADER INTENDS TO
STAY IN POLITICS.

CHICAGO, Nov 24.-William Jennings
Bryan arrived in Chicago this morning
from Lincoln, and drove to the Audito-
rum Annex. He did not register, but
was at once shown to the room occupied
by Charles A. Towne of Minnesota.
There he remained in consultation with
Mr.. Towne and former Senator Fred T.
Dubois, of Idaho, until tonight, when he
returned to Lincoln.
Mr.. Bryan refused to say what was dis
cussed during the meeting, but said that
the future policy of the Democratic party
was one of the topics.
'T expect to remain in politics as long
as live said Mr.. Bryan. 81 shall con-
tinue to advocate and work with both
tongue and pen for the principles for
which [ fought so long. I shall continue
to reside in Lincoln, Neb. :"
Concerning the proposed reorganization
of the Democratic party, he said:
Il have nothing to say on that subject

CALLS II A CANARD.
REPORT REGARDING AMERICAN
TURKISH ENTBROGLIO.

NEW YORK, Nov. M.-Trustworthy in
formation has been received from Con
Stantinople by the London correspondent
of the Tribune that the report that an
American battleship will call at SMYRNA
on her way to the far East and that
there will be something like a naval dem
onstratiOn for the purpose of influencing
the Turk is entirely unfounded and no
menace of this kind Is intended. It is
expected in official circles at Constan-
ttnople that the American claims for
damages for the mission stations in Ar
menia will be settled by the Turkish
government as soon as a practical meth
cd Is found for d1scharging these Habili-
ties, which have beer. precedent for other
governments. The Turkish government
is anxious to get rid of the American
claims, but is bent upon doing it without
committing itself to the general principle
of responsibility for the outrages which
occurred In Armenia and elsewhere An
adjustment of the American claims will
be brought about in the course of next
year, 1t seems, and no naval demonstra-
ton will be required for enforcing it.
News comes also from Constantinople
that an agent of the Cramps has been
attempting to negotiate a contract for
the construction of a Turkish warship
in an American shipyard and that Mr..
Carnegie's firm has not succeeded in OBJ
tanning large contract for the pro-
jected road from Syria to Medina and
