ginia to the Democratic National Con-
vention reached his home here to-day
from St. Louis. Speaking of the con-
vention and its results. Mr.. Ryan said:
I'm one brave stroke, with the aid
of the solid South. Judge Parker has
reorganized and reunited the Demo-
cratic party.
1.-THE fact that stands out most prom
inently in this reorganized force, is the
attitude of the South, for the vote on
Sunday morning shows that it is the
South which not only emphasized and
asserted the necessity for a return to
financial sanity. but it has led the
way and forced the fighting. To see
one Southern state after another-by
the accident of alphabet voting, stand
ing up for sound finance, hear their
delegates leading the demand for it,
was certainly grateful to one whose
faith in the essential political sound
ness of the people of that section has
been a part of his political being.
There was no longer anys fear to
mention or to advocate the gold stand
ard, not as some new strange thing,
it is true, but as a recognition of con-
ditions already existent in the financial
policy of our government. Too much
honor cannot be given to men like Mr..
Williams of Mississippi, who, in the
convention, as on the floor of the
House, has shown himself a real lead
err to Senators Daniel, Carmack, Till
man and many others. But the real
honors must be awarded to the peo-
pie of the South, without whose as
sured cooperation and support this
suspicious result have been impossible
When the great solid South really
stands in doctrine as in votes by the
side of the conservative Democratic
forces, it is certain the party is in a
strong position What it means not on
ly politically, but industrially cannot
now be predicted; it can only be i'm
agined.
THE courage, prescience and leader
ship shown by Judge Parker in the in
tiating of this financial victory enti-
tie him to the confidence and support
of every American citizen. Never in
all its history has the party entered
upon a great campaign more auspic-
iously than upon the present one
For a candidate to have said the right
word at the right moment and to have
done the right act just at the right
time it was needed, showed that we
are entering upon a campaign, not of
expediency, in which there are to be
lodging and futile explanations, but
upon one in which aggression will be
the watchword.'

What then, is Peruna? Is it cure
all? No such claims are made for it.
Peruna cures catarrh and that is all it
does cure. But many ailments called
by countless different names are de-
pendent upon catarrh, that is catarrh-

Hence Peruna cures catarrh Of the

Thousands of women suffer from

CLARK HOWELL THINKS PARKER
WILL AGREE TO HAVE TAGGART
AS Chairman Of the Democratic National Com

Atlanta, July 11.-Clark Howell, ma
+f,naI Democratic committeeman from
Georgia. spoke this evening of the st.
7ouis meeting of the committee after
the adjournment of the convention as
follows:
In the matter of the selection of the
hartman of the National Democratic
committee, there should be no room
for apprehension that the choice will
not only be satisfactory to Judge Par

hut more than that. the committee

Parker's expression on the subject.

If the national convention. 1t has
bean the uniform custom that the new
committee organize Immediately after
the adjournment of the convention for
the choice of a chairman who has al

the desire of the presidential nominee.
Until the st. Louis convention ad-
iourned it was assumed that Hon.
THOMAS T. Taggart of Indiana was the
hoice of Judge Parker and the fact
mat d majority of the Executive Com
mittee favored him grew out of that
current understanding.
If it should develop that Judge Par
1er does not wish Mr.. Taggart, but
prefers some one else, it goes without
saying that the committee will be
GUIDED accordingly at the meeting to
be held at a later date in New York. If
.Iudge Parker prefers another to Mr.
Taggart, the latter will promptly with
draw his name from consideration of
the committee-but this will not be
done unless Judge Parker, as the par

National Committee Meeting.


st. Louis, July 11-National Com
mitteeman Norman E. Mack of New
York tonight sent the following mes
sage to William F. Sheehan at New
York, making clear the exact status
of the new National Committee and
when it will hold its first regular meet
ing, in order to dispel all rumors that
have arisen regarding the organiza-
ton of the new committee.
Senator James K. Jones will. under
the instructions given him by the res
olution passed by the convention Sat
urday night, call a meeting of the Ma
tional Committee as soon as he con-
ferS with Judge Alton B. Parker, the
nominee of the party for President,
and his friends, and learns from them
the date fixed for notifying the nomi-
nees of their selection by the conven-
ton.
HE will then call a meeting of the
National Committee to be held in New
York city, it being Judge Parker's wish
to meet as many as possible of the
national committeeman in attendance
upon the meeting.
1T is for this purpose that Chair
man Jones will first consult with Judge
Parker in order to make the dates of
the notification and the National Com
mittee meeting coincide and thus af-
ford the candidate an opportunity to
meet the men who will lead his cam
paign in the various states.
''At this meeting the National Com
mittee will elect a chairman, secretary,
treasurer and sergeant-at-arms The
committee will then take up such other
matters as may properly come before
it at that time. The National Com
mittee will, of course, consult Judge
Parker and his friends before organ
izing.
80 many garbled reports have been
sent out that I deem it necessary to
make this statement, as made to me
by Chairman James X. Jones, who
has been chairman of the National
Committee for eight years.
