TALKS ON PRINCIPLES.
Congressman Lentz of Ohio Answers
Cleveland About Reorganization

Columbus. o.; Dec. 26.-Congressman
John J. Lentz, in a speech before the JEFF
on-Jackson-Lincoln league, answered
Grover Cleveland and others who urge a
reorganization of the Democratic party.
On this point Mr. Lentz said: Mr..
Cleveland and others who are talking and
writing about getting back to the first
principles would do well If they would
specify what is the first of the first prin-
ciples.
I'VE have heard enough of these gilt
tering generalitieS. If these men want to
get back to first principles they should
go back to the days of Jefferson and
Jackson Andrew Jackson never stabbed
a Democrat IN the back.
IF we are to restore the first principles
it must be done by the plain people in our
rural districts and great cities. for it will
never be done by political bosses and pO-
Htical brokers of our large cities where
able lawyers are working in collision
with political bosses to betray honest
people into traps of trusts
The league, which numbers in its mem
Dership Democrats from nearly every
county in the state, passed a resolution in
dorsing the sentiment expressed by Con-
gresham Lent.

The only sure way to cure every form

amid Pile Cure, which is applied directly
TO the parts affected. and its wonderful
healing effects are apparent from the
first application because its medicinal
properties are rapidly absorbed right
where needed. by the delicate tissues
and sensitive mem branes of the rectum-
The cure is natural and easy and almost
before the patient is aware of it, every
trace of piles has left him.
This is one reason why the Pyramid

ease is the only common sense cure, ard
this IS fully accomplished by the Pyr-

when il is remembered that the Pyramid

Tried to Blow Up a Hotel

Wichita, Dec. ga desperate attempt
was made Monday night to blow up the
Farmers hotel at Alva, O. T, The Thin
bic of a wagon wheel was filled with gil
ant powder and put under the corner Of
building. Before the fired fuse caught
the powder the thimble fell to one side
blown about $50 feet skyward. Except
the breaking of windows no other dam
age was done. A young man named
Joseph Elliott calmly walked into the
house after the attempted wreck and
took lodgings; he was arrested in the
morning il his room for the offense. The
hotel was not crowded owing to Christ
mas, only 10 guests being in it. Great
excitement prevailed and only the fact
of the Indebtedness of the evidence
AGAINST Elliott saves trouble.
