Maryland Democrats Did Not Mention
Him i'm Platform.

Baltimore. June 4.-The Democrat
state convention elected delegates to
the national convention at Denver and
adopted a platform. The latter makes
no mention of the candidacy for the
presidential nomination of W. J. Bryan
and his followers, who had been de-
manding half the delegation sent to
Denver, count but four sure Bryan
men among the is delegates chosen.
The platform promises the candidates
named at Denver the generous and
loyal support of the thoroughly united
Democracy of Maryland, but makes no
suggestion as to who the candidate
should be- 1t demands a revision OF
the tariff by the next congress; af-
firms adherence to the doctrine or

for his persistent attempts to dictate

people to the utmost limit practicable
from the grasp of illegal trusts" and

Idaho Democracy Is Split on the Nor

special to the Herald from Twin Falls,
Idaho, says:
1.-The Democratic party of Idaho is
hopelessly split on the Mormon ques-
ton Amid the widest scenes ever
witnessed at a convention in this state
two conventions were held in the same
hall. Both claim to be regular and a
bitter contest before the national COM
mittee at Denver is certain. At one
time during the proceedings physical
encounters seemed imminent and once
1t looked as if there might be blood
shed. The anti Mormon faction, led
by former Senator Dubois, seemed to
have a majority of the delegates. The
other faction elected IL delegates, one
from each of the seven judicial dis
tricts. and five from the state at large.
each entitled to half vote at the
national convention provided the dele
cation is seated.
.aThe fight arose over the election of
a temporary chairman. The Duboisites
nominated Glenn Mckinley and the op-
position put up 4. L. Perky the vote
gave Mckinley 14S and Perky 132. 1t
vas claimed that the state committee
had allowed contested delegations ia
yorahle to Dubois to vote and barred
contestees that leaned toward the OPP
position When the threats. profanity
and other riotous demonstrations sub
sided Perky called upon the opponents
of Dubois to gather around him.. He
then led them to another part of the
hall and organized his convention
The Perky delegates are instructed to
vote for the nomination of w. J. Bryan
as long as his name is before the con-
vention. A resolution deploring the in
lection of the Mormon question into
state politics was adopted.

Make Ii Yourself.

There is so much Rheumatism
here in our neighborhood now that
the following advice by an eminent
authority, who writes for readers
of large Eastern daily paper, will
be highly appreciated by those who
suffer:
Get from anv good pharmacy
one-half ounc Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one ounce Compound Kar-
gon. three ounces of Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake these
well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime; also drink plenty of
good water.
1t is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread and torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief in this simple homemade mix
ture, and in most cases a permanent
cure is the result.
This simple recipe is said to
strengthen and clcRlse the elimina-
tive tissues of the Kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acids
and waste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism, butnumerous 9th
err diseases. Every man or woman
here who feels that their kidneys are
not healthy and active, or who suf-
fers from any urinary trouble what
ever, should not hesitate to MAKE up
this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after
while.
Our home druggists say they will
either supply the ingredients or mix
the prescription ready to take if our
readers ask them.
