Very Remarkable Cure OF Diarrhoea.

about six years ago for the
first time in my life l had a sud-

Morgan, Texas. 81 got tempo
rary relief, but it came back
again and again, and for six long
years l have suffered more misery
and agony than l can tell. 1t
was worse than death. My hus-
band spent hundreds of dollars
for physicians prescriptions and
treatment without avail. Finally
we moved to Bosque county, our
present home, and one day l
happened to see an advertisement
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and diarrhoea Remedy with a
testimonial of q man who had
been cured by it. The case was
so similar to my own that | con-
cluded to try the remedy. The
result was wonderful. i could

An Innovation in Massachusetts.

Massachusetts has adopted the
plan of joint primaries. Under it
one who wants to be a candidate
before it must present paper at
the primary with signatures Of at
least five voters indoi sing it, and in
higher offices of the city there must
be five voters from every ward in
the city on the paper. Then the
primary is conducted the same as a
regular election, with parties regu-
larly represented and in charge of
the polls. Every voter is required
to state viva voce for which party
he wishes to vote and it is required
that man shall not vote with one
party and then change over and
vote with the other within year
after he has once declared his pref
erence. If he wants to change his
party utilization after he has voted
once he must make a written appli-
cation for leave to do so and file it
with the election commissioners and
then the change IS not to take eff
feet until 80 days after he has filed
the paper.
The return to the viva voce
method of voting is significant. 1t
is proof that after general adoption
and fair trial the ballot system of
voting is failure. No such frauds
as are now common under the ballot
system were ever heard of when
men went to the polls and voted by
word of mouth and had their names
and the way they voted recorded in
book to be kept for future refer
ence. There is claim that the bal
lot is protection to the voters, but
a man who is afraid to express his
honest intentions is hardly worthy
of the right of suffrage. A consti
tutional amendment repeating the
ballot system would carry, we
think, by very large majority
Morning Democrat.

THEIR BEST.

The Republicans have put out
as good State ticket as we ex-
pected. So far as intelligence is
concerned they are capable men,
but they are Republicans, every
one of them, except the candidate
for Attorney General, the Hon.
VIM. Beckner, Of Winchester, and
we don't know what he is, polite
ally. A few years age he was a
Democrat. On every doctrine he
was pronounced; so much was he
a Democrat that it was his pleas
ure to engage any Republican in
debate. The doctrines of the Re
publican party are without materi-
al change now, and it may be the
Republicans in convention had a
pointer from the Judge and argued
it good politics TO give hard fight
er position over their own and hold
him among their gunners for a
while. The platform adopted by
the convention seems to be a make
up OF easy sentences for such anna
teurs as Judge Beckner and w. c,
Owens, the man who run the con-
vention, and who thought it SO
awlully bad few years ago for a
Democrat to allow his name under
the log cabin and to be voted for
by Republicans and negroes, that
he exhausted his vocabulary talk
ing about his fellow countryman,
tine Hon. w. Z. +. breckenridge.
The mighty has fallen, and Owens
is out making log cabins now and
using the same vituperative vocab-
ulary against those who stood
firmly by him a few years ago.
Men COR paltry excuses sometimes
change, even when conditions and
circumstances are the same.
This platform is to be the basis
of the remarks to be made by the
brethren during the campaigning
period. We are glad the Repub-
Leans have put out their best men
for there is credit only in defeat
ing the best,

SOCIAL.

We are informed that at a hop
given in this city last week by the
younger set there was present on
the ballroom floor one Of these
young boys who was drunk and
using profane words in the pres
ence of the young Misses. We
are not condemning the young
people who attended, but we do
say that SOMEBODY should have
seen that this boy belonging to
one Of the first families) was re-
moved from the public view and
placed where his disgrace and pro
family would not offend the refined
sensibiIities of people who are
supposed to know but little Of such
things. While we deeplylregret
such occurrences, yet we would
recommend that such young chaps
or older chaps, receive 2 dose o!
medicine administered by our City
Taller, Mr.. Pat Shannon. AS sure
as night follows day there will
come a time Of reaping from such
sowing.

in this community should know

ing, seeing and hearing. AS we

The makeup Of the Democratic

strong and active one. Mr.. H.
r. Prewitt, from this city, is &C
lively engaged now and will do
effective work until the close of the
campaign. He is pleased with
the Republican nominations and
is Of the opinion that the ticket
can be as easily defeated as any
they could name. Were the vote
in Kentucky an even break he
would recognize many advantages
by the Democratic party. Com
pairing heads of ticket, Beckham is
far superior to Belknap in native
ability, training, and experience
He stands by the party that is
to-day without divisions and
will cast its vote solidly
for Democracy. The party
approved Of his action in recent
troubles resulting in the death OF
Gov. Goebel, and his wisdom and
temperament in this the most dire
of Kentucky's calamities, has won
for him and his party a strong fol-
lowing. His prosecution Of Ken

lent 10 iiquidate our States indebt-
edness, and that TO after the fail
ure of the Bradley administration

by the people and is cause for their
most enthusiastic support. His

defense of Kentuckians, has won
great admiration and furnishes
proof that he is Of the people.
