The Democratic Problem.

The problem of who is to be the
nominee of the democratic party for
president has been giving the repub-
leans much greater worry than it
has democrats. There is no doubt
difference of opinion among demo-
Gratis as to who should be nominal
ted, but the more important question
is, who can be elected? When the
convention meets next summer and
it can be shown that any good demo-
crat will be able to carry enough
electoral votes to win, he will be NOM
mated beyond question. 1t must be
remembered that the rule that re-
quires a two-thirds majority of dem
ocratic convention to nominate makes
it tolerably certain that the candi-
date will be acceptable to the great
mass of the party.
The most serious question that the
democrats will have to solve is a plat
form that will clearly express the is
sues upon which the campaign must
be fought and upon which the candi-
date must stand. The platform must
be agreed upon before the balIoting
for candidates begins and only ma
jority of the convention is necessary
to adopt it. When the delegations
from the different states meet in con-
yention, they will be animated by one
impulse, to select the most available
candidate. They viii want to win.
The rank and file of the democratic
party can add vastly to the chances
of success, both as to the selection of
a satisfactory candidate and of his
election, by selecting the most repre-
sentative and honest members of the
party as delegates to the convention.
Do not tie them down with instruc-
tions for any man, but leave them
free to make the best selection after
conference with their brother dele
gates from other states. The opinion
of the delegates from doubtful states
must and will have the greatest
weight in making the selection. The
democratic sky has been gradually
clearing and with the united effort
of all who believe in the good old doe
trine of Equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to- none" a glorious
victory for the people is within their
grasp.
hepuDHcdH newspapers are taking
more than passing interest in the
nomination of a democratic candi-
date. They have for some time been
trying to breed strife in the demo-
cratic ranks; their advice and COM
ments are to be taken with due al
lowance for such intentions. Their
efforts from this time on will be to
kill off the most able and loyal dem
ocratic candidates and to cause con-
fusion and discord in the ranks of the
democracy. To listen to them is to
be deceived. They are controlled by
the plutocrats, who are the trust mag
mates, and they know their downfall
is at hand if the democratic policies

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Ten
Years OF Suffering.

81 wish to say few words in praise
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy" says Mrs. Matte
Burge, of Martinsville, Va. Il suffer
ed from chronic diarrhoea for 10
years and during that time tried var
ious medicines without obtaining any
permanent relief. Last summer one
of my children was taken with chOl-
era morbus, and 1 procured a bottle
of this remedy. Only two doses were
required TO give her entire relief. 1
then decided to try the medicine my
self, and l did not use all of one bot
tie before l was well, and 1 have never
since been troubled with that com
plant. One cannot say too much in
favor of that wonderful medicine"
This remedy is for sale by all drug
gists.

The FoundatIon OF Health.

Nourishment is the foundation of
health, life, strength. Kodol Dyspep-
STA Cure is the one great medicine
that enables the stomach and diges-
tive organs to digest, assimilate and
transform all foods into the kind of
blood that nourishes the nerves and
feeds the tissues. Kodol lays the
foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion. dyspepsia and
all disorders of the stomach and di-
gestive organs are cured by the use
of Kodol.

and when they saw the star they reioiced
with exceeding great Oy.''-Math. II-Io verse.
The peals Of Trinity's lofty bells.
Seemed on this morn more clear.
The sweet and last departing knells
Were waited far and near;
knelt beneath its towering spire
EnscOnoed by opal skies,
When. 10. a voice from out the choir
Sang as from paradise.
Celery 70 the Father and to the Sen and
to tie Holy Ghost"
There like 20 me the world stood still
dared not move, dared not turn,
Nv very II ought seemed cold and chill
The tapers seeming, ceased TO burn,
Mine eyes grew dim my soul was thrilled,
Nrthought that heaven did inspire
The voice Of which my senses filed
By dreamy notes, from Trinity choir.
"As II was II the beginning, now and ever
shall be, worli without end, amen,
amen"
From deep enchantmeut did awake
To gaze aloft from whence il came.
I seemed the laws Of God To break
For then bowed my head IN shame
In vestments OF snowy white
Mid strains as from golden lvre
Ne there beheld.a treasured sight
An angel face in Trinity's choir.
Celery be to aoa II the highest, aaa CT earth
peace and gco3 will toward men"
And once again the dreamy tones
/ Drifted aft as silvery chimes
heard as If from golden zones,
The story old of Christmas times.
When in the east there beamed star
The wise men, saw in glad desire;
Ne fancied then heard afar
The song so sung from Trinity choir.
