Story of a Slav,

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George d. Williams
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
slave was made free. He says: my
wife has been SO helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work." This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness, melancholy, head
ache. backache. faintin gand dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

AS SUSSEX VIEWS Ir.
nlocracy.

Mr.. Editor, my dear sir:-All5w me
in the name of hundreds of loyal Sus-
sex County Democrats to express tile
pleasure we feel over the hroic and
firm stand you hav taken in regard t,
what should be the action of our COM
ing State convention TO select delegates
to the National Convention at Kansas
City. When you urge that the dele
gates to be selected at Dover ON the
18th of June should be instructedsby
resolution to vote for William Jen-
nings Bryan for Presidential nominee,
you are striking a popular Democratic
chord. 1t makes no difference how
loudly few malcontents may shout
through Republican organs and those
so-called Independent journals against
the Democrats of Delaware putting
themselves on record in this matter, it
will be done. The men of Sussex
county who do the voting and working
for the ticket will demand this action
and we know that the majority iof the
party in both Kent and New Castle
counties are with us.
We have looked upon The Delawa-
rean for many years as a forecaster of
safe Democratic doctrine and knew in
advance that it would be with the peo-
pie in this contest. You would be sur
prised Were you to hear the favorable
comment that comes from all parts of
the county on the stand you have
taken. | am in position here to meet
many leading Democrats from all over
the county and within the past few
days l have met and talked with them
There is but one sentiment-that of
endorsement of your policy. AS in the
years that have passed you will find
old Sussex County Democrats with you
heart and soul in the safe, wise and
solid Democratic doctrine you advance.
In this mingling with the Democratic
workers of Sussex County I have also
discovered another thing. That is that
it is remarkable how closely the Demo-
Gratis down here are watching and not
ing the progress of events in New Cas-
tie county. We notice especially that
certain men in the upper county claim
ing to be Democratic leaders, and some
of them already bidding for official po-
sition, are using the Republican papers

McKINLEY'S LATEST PORTRAIT.
A short time ago President McKin-
ley sat for a photograph, which he has
pronounced the best ever secured. A
copy of this portrait, in colors, with
facsimile of the Presidents signature,
on each picture, will be given free with
every copy of the great philadelphia

It is a souvenir every one is certain to
prize, both because Of it's merit as a
work of art and its timeliness in view
of the fact that Mckinley is certain to
be renominated at the National Con-
vention week after next The size of
the picture is IA by 20 inches and ev-
cry one will be perfect. The demand
will be great; hence it will be well to
order next Sundays 'Press" early.

that Prof. Koch of Germany, was the
first man to cure consumption at once

everybody opposed TO them In doing
this also we see plainly their object is
ito create dissension and dissatisfaction
in the ranks of the party, with the fur
lher plain object of defeating again, if
p9ssible. our National ticket. The
trick and scheme is as open as day,

Too plain, gentlemen, is your work to

these papers, all of them, and note that
while you have the Republican organs
with you-all of them-and are fur
nishing them with campaign material
daily, by telling them how you
''downed this man or that man." and
how the "Bryanites are gloomy and

The Democratic State Convention OF
New York, held yesterday unanimously
instructed the delegates selected for the
National Convention to vote for Will
liam Jennings Bryan as the President
ial nominee of the Democratic party.
The convention was enthusiastic apA
harmonious, and as stated by prom
inent delegate, never since the
days of the famous Tilden
campaign has the Democracy of
New York shown such unity
iof interest. The platform adopted is a
splendid exposition of the principles
upon which the Democratic party of
the country will enter upon the Ma
tional contest, and it concludes with
this ringing sentiment: 1--WE pledge the
unfailing support of the Democracy of
New York to the platform adopted at
kansas City" This is the sort of
sentiment that brings victory. Della
ware Democrats will follow the lead of
their brethren of the Empire State.

Hold Fast for Bryan.

Mr.. Editorials a private eiiizer.
with political preferences, a lifelong
Democrat, and in view OF the near
APPROACH of the conventions soon to
meet and the great and important re-
forms represented in William Jennings
Bryan. Those who would not support
him in 1S96because the people unhorsed
them and repudiated their leadership il
they cannot bring works meet for re-
pentance. The Democracy of Della
ware had better take warning ere it is
too late, for if they are allowed again
in the Democrat saddle Democracy in
Delaware is sure of defeat and deserv-
edly so.
William Jennings Bryan honestly
represents not policy but principles,
dear to honest men of all persuasions
and if these policy men are allowed
their say as they want to say
it they will destroy our vic
tory if gained with them and for one
should prefer Democracy's defeat
rather than have them destroy our
success if gained with their aid-in
other words if they insist that they are
Democrats and must vote for Bryan
they must vote and work as ordinary
citizens, for if put in the lead Bryan
Democracy will not follow them until
they have purged themselves of trea-
son to Democracy. J. R.
