MR., BARNES
REPLIES.
Will Make Affidavit That
the Solicitor of The Jour-
nal Said Circulation
Had Run Down to
1000.
Editor REPUBLICAN,:

Editor REPUBLICAN,;
Dear Sir:-The simple prctext that
l made against the statements of the
solicitor or agent of the Evening
journal seems to have aroused the Ire
of the editor of that paper.
My letter to him OF July Goth was
not intended for publication nor did
| suppose it would raise such temp.
est in a teapot, but as long as he has
thrown down the gauntlet | will pick
it up and will substantiatc every
word | have written.
In answer to my letter he says:
leaving the statements of the ) sollc''
tor out Of The question, since That Is
a question of veracty between them,
the question at issue Is this; The so.
licitOr SAID that the circulation OF the
Journal had run down to lfOO on ac-
count of the papers scurrulous attacks
on the Union Republican party and
its leader, J. Edward Addicks. Now
if the editor of the Journal doubts my
veracity. | stand ready with two
sworn andavits in support Of the
statement | have made, and / think
that clears up statement No. !.
Lam but one Of large class OF
workingmen, also Union man. ana
| know whereof | speak when SAID
theJournal was autas onizing the poor
er class Of people, and that Mr.. Al.
dicks was the friend of unionized Ia
Dor and | do not need to make atlida-
Wit to that effect (as he who runs may
read J but | would advise the Journal
to examine the placard on the front
of the Smith building, and to Use the
Journals own words That Is the
way the cat jumps.
Lastly, | advised the Journal to
come into the fold and be a Rcpubli,
can paper as it claimed to be or in
other words | insnuatcd it vas not a
Republican paper, and think | make
my insinuatlon good, when | refer tC
its course during the last city cam.
paign when it did all 1t could to de-
feat tho Republican nominees, but
thanks to the workers and voters, lts
peurlle attempts came to nausht.
Now. Mr.. Editor, l cannot close
without referring tp the implied IN
suit to the REPUBLICAN when the
Journal says: "Nor to hold a reader
who prefers subsidized lying, or the
uncertain tone Of paper waiting 70
see which way the cat will Jump,
Mr.. Ed itor, have been suOscrl
Der to your paper for the last 6 years
and | have always found the RErUb-
IaCAN true to the first principle o.
| Eepublicanism, (majority rule) anc
| guess ii is good enough for me.
Just q few more words and l an
done. We all know that Mr.. Addlck
does not point with pride TO his lont
list of blue booded ancestors wh'
have become rich off the American
government. He Is what he claim
TO be, a self made man, one who's
courage and business energy has mad
him a millionaire with big heart a
hundreds in this State can testify.

that if Its circulation gets any lowe
l will head a syndicate OF workln
men and buy it out.

CANCER

Sufferers from this horrible maiady
nearly always inherit it-not necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor. for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood TO:
years, or until you reach middle life. then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast. or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
# it driven out. This S. S. S. does, and
the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, aud the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows {:
A small pimple came on my Jaw about an inch
below the ear on the left side OF my face. It gave
