Congressmen P. D. McCulloch, who has live head on hls shoul. ders, and level foresight withal, is quoted in yesterdays dispatches as sayIng:"It seems to me that Bry- ans chances of election are far better than those of Mckinley. Thousands of Gold Democrats who voted for Mckinley four years ago are in line for the Democratic tick ct this fall, and other thousands ot Republicans to whom McKinley's imperialistic policy is repugnant, will vote for Bryan.
 Bryan will carry all the States he carried in 1896 and at least half q dozen of those which were car ried by Mckinley. The Democrats have good fighting chance of car rying New York, but Bryan can be elected without the electoral vote of the Empire State. The total number of votes in the electoral college is AT. Four years ago Mckinley had 271 and Bryan 176, a majority for Mckinley of 95. It will be seen that Q change of 43 votes is all that IS necessary to electBryan.I figure that the l3 votes of Kentucky, F of which in 1896 were for Mckinley, will this year all be for Bryau. Of the other States carried by Mckinley four years ago, Bryan will this year carry Maryland with its 8 votes, West Virginia with 9, Indiana with 15, Michigan with IA, and Minnesota with 9. This will give a total of 64 votes, which will change from the Mckinley to the Bryan column, or 16 more than Bryan needs to assure his election. He can fail to carry any one of the six States I have named, and yet be elected, "and his view of the sit nation is reasonable.

The State Democratic Platform

Following is the platform in full as adopted at the democratic convention:
 The democratic party of Arkansas in convention assembled, renews its allegi- ance to the time-honored principles Of the party and declares as follows:
 We lndorse the national platform of the democratic party adopted at Chicago, In its nationial convention Of 1896 and re- affirm the principles therein enunciated. We recognize the Monroe doctrine as a cardinal tenet of the democratic party and prior 10 the present republican admins tratiou was part of the public policy Of the national government, and We favor Us strict observance, and we are opposed tC any agreement, secret or otherwise, witL any foreign power, by which the princi pies of this doctrine might be surrendered or abridged.
 We are in favor of the United State: government building and constructing tht Nicarauguan canal, and that 1t own, con trol aud manage the same.
 Regarding with pride and satisfaction the successful development of our publi, school system, we pledge the democratic party to it's perpetual support and main ienance. and we recommend that tn, state continue to provide for the paymen of the interest on the state bonds now be longing to the school funds.
 We are opposed to the donation of tn public lands of the United States or of tn state of Arkansas to private corporations
 We denounce the trusts and all illega combinations in restraint of trade; or tha have for their purpose the control of tn markets or products of the country, an we endorse the actions of the last legisla ture in passing laws for the purpose of re straining their operations in this state and pledge the democratic party to tn passage of such laws as will effectuall prohibit the operations of all such combi nations in the state of Arkansas.
 We charge that inherent rights unde our constitutions have been assailed by tn president of the United States by his de niaI of seif-goyernment to the Filipino and his refusal to treat with them.
 We maintain that governments deriy their just powers from the consent of tn governed. We therefor insist that tn subjugation Of any people is a crime an contemptuous disloyalty to the distinctly principles of our government.
 Liberty is common heritage to all me In all lands and we therefore resolutel condemn the death dealing policy of tn republican administration in the Philiy .plnee

We are opposed to f.ie annexation by the United States of any country by force, because we believe the right of local self government to be the basic principle of this republic.
 We are opposed to wars Of conquest. and insist upon the pledges made the people of Cuba by congress being carried out at the earliest practical moment. and we demand that the same rights promised by congress
 O the people of Cuba be accorded to the
 people of the Philippine Islands.
 And with a full appreciation of what
 such things mean by our own sad experi- ence al the hands of the republican party,
 we denounce the carpetbag government
 fosted on the people of Porto Rico and Gu lss by the present republican adminiStra- tiOn.
 We demand of the congress of the United States the passage of such laws as will aid thu. various state laws in an efectual de- traction of all trusts rthrougnout the Un tied States.
 While we are in favor of the passage of such Jaws by congress as will efectually destroy the trusts and place such restric- tions around corporations as may be ne- cessar,v to protect the public welfars yet we mainta in that corporations are creatures of the law. and have no rights except those rights granted by the people. We further maintain that sovereign state has the right and the power to exclude any for eign corp oration from doing busness in the state We demand the enactment of such laws by ouu legislature as shall prohibit corporation Is which belong to pools, trusts or combina lions in restraint of trade, no matter where organized, from business in the state of Arkansas. and that it shall exclude then. from it's borders.
 Recognizing labor as the foundation of all true prosperity, we recommend the passage of all such laws as will protect the lab0rers of the state to the fullest ex- tent in tho enjoyment of all their rights.

possible for one voter in tho small est township in America to change the results oftho national election. This voters ballot could change the result ofhis township; his township could change the result ofhis coun- ty and his county could change the result in his state, and his state the result ofthe national contest. This, we repeat, is Mir. Bryan's line of reasoning and it is good, and true. White County Citizen.

The Democratic party of St. Francis county should not forget that its representation in all politi. cal conventions fer two years will be based upon its vote for Jeff Da. wis on the 3d of September. Mir. Remmel, the Republican candidate, is the strongest opponent just at this time that could possibly be put up aganst the Democratic nomi nee. It behooves Democrats to vote.

About Factories.

The fact that there are now sev- eYal cottages and few huts for rent in Forrest City seems to indl. cate that the town is losing some of its floating population. If this IS true, it can only be accounted for by tho fact that situations are growing scarcer. And this re- minds us that we should not for one moment relax our interest in securing factories of any and every kind.
 Forrest City cannot hope to in- crease her population, and thereby her volume of business, by permit ting comatose condition, and de- pending upon the farming interests for support. She is bound to open other avenues of circuulation and furnish other employment to the class which has no capital save 9 trade and knows nothing of farm Ing.
 With factories 10 furnish liveli- hood to scores, or hundreds, or even thousands of laborers, me- chanics, artisans, trades people and others, then, indeed, will we have a live business town.
 This is the solution of the ques- tion of growth.
 The plan, heretofore som etimcs adopted, of organizing stock com panies with local capital, oficerlng the same with inexperienced and I otherwise busy men, and capital izing at a figure not sufficient to ,start the wheels, is grave mistake c and detrimental to the general ad- va,cement of the ends sought to be gained. How much better would it have been for all concerned had they donated as Q bonus the money put into the canning factory, the ice factory, and other concerns which have failed for want of funds to carry on the business, to some experienced manufacturer, thus inducing him to locate here and make an investment of an equal amount or more of his own capital! Or better still would it be for the
 home capitalists to agree to take g
 half interest as an investment against the half interest of expe.
 rieuced manufacturers who will
 take the other half, they to manage
 the factory to the best advantage
 and for the mutual interests of all
 concerned.
 "Where there is will there is a
 way" and if Forrest City had q
 Business League, with competent
 and enterprising secretary, such
 things could be accomplished. | The question is, will we organ.
 ize and cooperate?

Deafness Cannot De Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness il
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
we Will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
