Men From Pennsylvania.
MINORITY REPORT PREPARED

Representatives. Of Fourteen States
Vote Against Action Taken and viii
Support Fight on the Floor Of the
Convention.
Denver, July 9.-The committee on
credentials of. the national Democratic
convention concluded it's labors after
1t had been in continuous session for
twenty.nine hours.
No attempt was made to restrict the
time for the presentation of evidence
In the various contests, the proceed
ings in which were all conducted with
open doors.
The Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania
cases provoked much bitterness from
the opposing sides.
Colonel James M. Guffey of Pitts.
burg went down to defeat before the
committee III all his contested cases
the contestants all being seated by a
vote Of ~ to 15.
= In the Idaho a the Mormon fac
ton was put to rout, the committee
deciding in favor of the Dubois fac
ton, who were the seated delegates
by a vote of 26 to 20.
The Nineteenth Ohio district again
was given to Tom johnson of Cleve-
land, who appeared in the committee
room and made a strong plea that the
action Of the national committee be
sustained. The Ninth, or anti-Johnson
district delegates, were allowed to re-
tain their seats.
The committee made short work of
the New York, Illinois and District OF
Columbia contests, unanimously sus.
tanning the action of the national com.
mittee in each 8 .
Oklahoma Given Eighteen Votes.
The fight of Oklahoma for eighteen
delegates instead of fourteen resulted
In q victory for the new state. The
claim of Oklahoma was based on the
allegation that there had been an in.
correct apportionment of the districts
and the committee accepted that view.
The action of tho committee in the
Pennsylvania contests gives the Bryan
msn control Of the delegation, thus
d~isplacing Colonel Guffey, for ten
years leader Of the Pennsylvania De.
mocracy. The fight will now be car
ried to the floor of the convention.
The vote of the committee on Gre
dentials on the Pennsylvania contest
showed fourteen states, including New
Fork, voting within Colonel Guffey's
forces. AS the latter are anti.Bryan
the. attitude Of these fourteen states
was regarded as showing an undercur-
rent of sentiment. The fourteen states
voting with the Guffey forces were:
New York, New Jersey, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Della
ware. Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Geor-
gta, Louisiana, Kentucky and Mary
land.
A minority report from the creden-
tails committee Is being prepared by
Attorney General Strauss of Maryland
and it IL expected that the representa-
tives Of the fourteen states who voted
with Gufey will sign the minority re-
port.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scaldS it thoroughly after using. and gives
it sun bath TO Sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
ceSses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the disSem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
Dr. Pierce'S Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
