DIR. r. v. Pierce, chief consulting physi-
clan to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, succeeds in
hunting out and arresting diseases, where
the less experienced practitioners fail.
More than thirty years of special study
and experience have enabled DIR. Pierce
to read symptoms as easily and as truly as

Each letter is read in private and an

SITUATION IN THE TENTH.
nfr. walter May lie Nominated by the
Popultsts.

Gonzales. Texas. August 2s.--The po-
iltical situation In the Tenth district Is
warming up considerably. The nomina-
ton of Hon. George f. Burgess for con
gress is causing great deal of figuring
TO be done by the republicans.
The greatest problem is who to nomi-
naie TO carry the republican banner 10
the front. as they fully realize that
they have on hand the fight OF their
lives.
In an Interview very prominent ie-
publican or Gonzales stated that "Hawley
would not under any circumstances make
the race; that Mr. Hawley had stated 10
him Just prior to his departure from
Texas that he would not accept the NOM
nation under any condition"
This same republican says Hon. g. X.
Walter OF Gonzales will be nominated
BY the populists and he will probably
accept, but IL Will be a detriment to
the republican nominee. This statement
is regarded by democrats as Jest. as
Mr. Walter will undoubtedly trke some
votes from Burgess and In that way ass
sist the republican nominee II Is a
part of the scheme OF the republicans
to get Mr.. Walter nominated. and they
will make every endeavor to persuade
him to accept
1t is not believed that the republicans
could directly influence MIR. Walter for
a moment. but they tthe republicans)
reckon on influencing him through 9TH
ers and by making the talk that his can
didacy will aid Burgess In an inter-
view Mr.. Walter stated that he con-
sldered Mr. Burgess the ablest democrat
IN the district.
The populst convention will meet at
Rosenberg tomorrow to nominate cam
didate ant Mr., Waiter will probably be
nominated as no has a majority of the
instructed vote. but says he will not ac-
cent If the convention indorses the ac-
ton of the National p0pulists,
J Mr.. Walter says he believes his can
ddacy will assist the democrats in Con
zaes county, but could not say what In
tuence his race would have in the dis
trict The reason he gives for believing
that Gonzales county Will be affected in
this manner by his candidacy Is that
about 500 republicans have within the
last two years gone into the populis
party.
Mr.. Walter will support the middle
of-the-road populist nominees for presi-
dent and was opposed TO his party NOM
inating a democrat for president. He
would not state whether there was any
likelihood OF his withdrawing afterwards
in case he found out there was no chance
to be elected. and was rather inclined
to the opinion that mo loaf is better
than a half loaf. II is generally be-
Heved however. that Mr.. Walters
friendship for Mr.. Burgess will cause
him to withdraw IL he finds there Is nc
chance for him and that his Candidacy
will iniure Burgess.
MIR. Burgess Is gaining new friends all
over the district and will more than
make things hum between now and cleo
ton day. C.S.E.H.
