Y cry POINTED
QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO THE
BUFFALO TIMES
By r. |. MetcaIfe, Editor Of the Omaha
World. Herald. They are Questions That
Must Be Definitely Answered Before the
Rank and file Of the Democratic Party
Will Consent to CIevelandism.

Omaha, Neb., May 16, 19O3.-No' man
+. Mack, Editor Tim~s, Buffalo, N. y
Dear Sir: Many Western democrats
were interested in the editorial entitled
'"The Presidential Nominee" and appear
ing in recent issue OF the Times. You
say that for the democratic party to "in-
cur the hostility OF either Mr.. Cleveland
or Mr.. Bryan and their many followers"
would be the height OF folly, and you add
that friends of both these gentlemen
s'must be willing to eliminate Their in
Hvidual preferences and to join their
interests for the good OF tie party"
You have struck an interesting vein OF
thought here, and l think that demo-
Gratis throughout the country who admire
you as a man and democrat would be
glad to have you go bit deeper along
this line.
We must agree that it is not too much
to ask democrats to eliminate individual
preferences if by this you refer to the
candidate; and yet it will also be agreed
that the candidate should be man whose
record and character would justify popu-
lar confidence that he would honorably
endeavor to fulfill the platform pledges,
But while very properly advising demo-
Gratis to yield their preference, so far as
the candidate is concerned, would you
counsel them to become Indifferent as to
the character OF the platform? l am
sure you would be the last to give such
advice.
And this prompts me to ask that you
present through the columns OF tine
Times programme by the adoption Of
which the democratic party would not
''incur the hostility OF Mr.. Cleveland and
his followers"

GREATLY ALARMED
BY Persistent Cough, but Perma-
nently Cured by Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Fl. p. Burbage, student at law,
in Greenville, S. c., had been troubled
for four or five years with continuous
cough which he says, "greatly alarmed
me. causing me to fear that was in the
first stage of consumption. Mr.. Bur-
bage, having seen Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy advertised, concluded to try it..
Now read what he says OF it: II soon
felt remarkable change and after using
two bottles OF the twenty-five cent size,
was permanently cured" Sold by All

TO PLEASE BARON AND LABORER.

TO PLEASE BARON AND LABORER.
Do you think that democratic plat.
form which ignored or dealt apologetic-
ally with those evils could provide serious
attraction for the people? Do you believe
that a platform framed so that it would
impress upon the tariff baron and the
trust magnate, as we'll as upon tn, pee.
pie, the party's determination to give Il o
people practical relief from the imposi.
tons under which they suffer today-lm.
positions that emanate from the same
powers that welded more influence at
the White House during Mr.. Cleveland's
second administration than was exerted
by the entire democi acy OF the country
do you think that a platform so fran. d
Guild avoid inenrring the hostility Of MIR.
Cleveland and his fol 'wers?
know you do not make the mistake OF
thnnk;ng-that democrats who may not
entirely agree with you are any less de-
sirous for the termination OF rt publican
power than you are. But will the Ameri-
can people, requiring and demanding re-
lief, turn from the republican rarty to a
party that gives them no right to believe
that its professions are sincere and that
it is determined to re establish popular
government and to detl rome the tariff
b iron and the trust magnate?
AS anxious as you can possibly be for
democratic victory by "a united and not
a divided army" | respectfully ask you
to present for the benefit Of democrats
generally, and in the interests OF genn-
inc harmony, an outline OF what Il e
democratic platform should be in ord, r
that it may not incur the hostility II
Mr.. Cleveland and his followers.
| am sure that in the preparation OF
these suggestions you will not overlook
the fact that while it may be we'll to win
back the impenitent prodigal sons it is
somewhat important to remember that
the convictions OF the faithful boys who
remained at homo are not entirely I'M
worthy OF consideration. Yours truly,

the first place, could these gentle
men be persuaded to support the ticket
in 1904 ii the nominee for president were
a man who had faithfully supported the
democratic ticket and platform in 1896
and in 1870? Would you advise that, in
order not to incur the hostility of Mr.
Cleveland and his followers, democrats
generally agree TO the proposition that
no man who heartily subscribed to the
national platforms OF 1896 and of 1900 be
considered eligible to the nomination?
What would you have democrats do in
the construction of their platform in order
to avoid incurring the hostility OF Mr..
Cleveland and his followers? How many
|of the principles and the policies in
which we believe must we surrender in
order to avoid mourning this hostility?

BIMErALISM MIGHT BE OMITTED.

Persistent effort has been made to have
it appear that the question Of bimetalism
is the sole obstacle to harmony so far as
the platform is concerned. Nothing has
occurred since 1896 to justify the bmet-
alist in abandoning his position. On
the contrary, the bimetalist contends that
the very prosperity OF which the repub-
lican party leaders boast is chiefly due to
the increase in the volume of money, a
thing which in the campaign of 1896
democrats claimed, and republicans de-
MED, would bring us better times and
even though the amount OF money has
largely increased during the past seven
years, there is constant agitation for fur
Their Increase. Republican leaders would
accomplish this result by multiplying
the national bank notes, increasing the
output to the fullest extent possible by
the government bond deposit plan and in
addition thereto comforting upon banks
the extraordinary privilege of issuing
notes on their assets. The bimetalist
prefers to obtain this increase in the
democratic way, through bimetalism.
Yet for your convenience, in providing an
answer to these questions, let us assume
that democrats who believe in bimetal-
ism would, for the purpose Of obtaining
harmony so far as the platform is con.
cerned, be willing to omit that question
during one campaign.

and reading as they yer Thought and
read before, unless the party set its seal
necessarily upon the second administra.
ton itself, but upon the policies and the
methods, the intimacies between the rep
resentatives Of the government and the
representatives OF the money power, and

land regime?

The fact is, the peoples party Is the
hand-maiden of Christ's church on

FOR THIRTY YEARS
Congressman r1eekison Suffered With Catarrl1-Read
His Endorsement of Pe=rll=na

n TONIC is medicine that gives
"A tone TO some part Of the system.
There are different kinds OF tonics, but
the tonic most needed in this country,
where catarrh is SO prevalent, is tonic
that operates on the mucous membranes.
Pcruna is tonic to the mucous MEM
branes of the whole body. 1t gives tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. 1t Is q
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fibres. Catarrh cannot exit long
whore Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.
A. M. Ikerd, an clnploye of the G. B.
x @. II. r., West Burlington, Ia, writes:
~ had catarrh of the stomach and
small intestincs for number of years.
| went to number of doctors and got
no relief. Finally one Of my doctors
sent me to Chicago and I met the same
fate. They said they could do nothing
| for me, that had cancer of the stomach
and there was no cure. almost thought
the same, for my breath was something
awful. / could hardly stand it, it was
so offensive. I could not eat anything
without great misery, and / gradually
grew worse.
"Finally got one of your books, and
concluded would try Pernna, and thank
God, found relief and cure for that
| dreadful disease. / took five bottles OF
| Peruna and two of Manalin, and now
feel like new man. There is nothing
better than Peruna, and keep bottle
| in my house all the time."-A. M. Ikerd.
| Catarrh of the stomach is usually
called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pcpsin powders or
any other temporary relief. The only
cure for real dyspepsia is removal OF
the catarrh from the mucous membrane
of the stomach. This Peruna will do.
This Peruna has done thousands and
thousands Of times.
| Congressman Botkin, of Kansas, was
cured of catarrh Of the stomach Of many
years standing. Hundreds Of other
cases have been reported to us through
unsolicited testimonials. Peruna is the
only internal systemic remedy for ca
tarrh yet devised. Every one afflicted
with catarrh in the slightest degree
ought to take course OF Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving q
full statement of your case and he will

to break into the stores of NJ. r.

bored holes in the floor, making an
entrance sufficiently large enough
for a man to enter, but before they
could do so they were from some
cause frightened off At this place
the would be robbers broke the
large glass in the window and stole
two coats and two pair of panta, valued
at about 500. Before they could
take anything else the town watch
man arrived upon the scene and
fired upon the supposed thieves.
Two strange negroes were arrested
and carried before Magistrate Meetze
but were released, the evidence being
insufficient to hold them.
