This is 1903. The Years 1892 and 1896

that ten thousand defeats would be

and the esteemed Brooklyn Eagle say
ing that ten thousand will be about the
number unless we do return to CleVe-

He a writhed d the lash OF
southern criticism for his egregious

easy for him to become conSc1entIously
convinced that the south ought TO
have it's representation in congress
cut down as a constitutional punish
ment for the supposed unconstitutIon-
al restriction of he suffrage. The
northern democracy and the southern

ing southern representation cut down
or a federal force bill passed, either.
That is one point on which we ge~ to-

can to get democrats together. 1t will
outline from time to tune some ways
and means of doing that. Let US
drop the quarrel words to begin with.
There never was a silver craze. There
never lived a gold-bug. Regulators

partly wrong and both partly right, let
both sides drop the wrong things and
agree on the right things and so get

His friends attribute the affair to his broken health and shattered nerves, the outcome of two campaigns in the Soud2n and in South Africa. An at tack of dysentery and a touch Of sun stroke at Paardeburg during the South African campaign left serious effects, and a wound he received in the ieg healed badly.

Until three years ago he says. For 15 years l was troubled with Q throbDing in my stomach, was very nervous, kid rcys out of order, troubled with SC were headaches and dreadful insomnia
 After trying all scrts of remedies came to the conclusion that my troub- les were the result Of drinking coffee and seeing ali article in the paper about Postum 1 determined to try it. So 1 quit coffee and took on Postuln. IL agreed with me from the first cup At first I drank it diluted. then pure l iclished it loo and to my great joy l was soon free from stomach trouble nervousness all gone and head clear and instead of being wakeful for half the night I sleep like q fat baby and get up in the morning refreshed. This l owe to having quit coffee and taken to drinking Postum." Name furnished by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich

 The forecast of the comments editor- tally. to be published in the press to- morrow morning shows that the na- tionalist organs will not display an ac- tive hostility to ghe measure, but they consider that the landlords are treated better than the tanarts. On the other hand, the. conservative press comments show that the landlords expected still better terms.
