We understand that our Republi.
can friends in Berkeley county are in
quite quandary. One prominent Re-
publican who wants to be postmaster
has come to the conclusion that he has
no chance as long as there is no change
of administration, for Alex. Olohan
seems to have the Job clinched. He
is therefore willing for Democratic
President to be elected. hoping that
his opportunity for the Office will come
four years later. Charles Peter Light,
whose modesty and difidence is a
household word throughout this Sec
ton, is being urged by his friends as
Just the man for a cabinet position
under Mr.. Taft, should the latter be
elected, and though it would mean
great personal sacrifice, Mr.. Light
agrees to accept, on the ground that
the really great men should stand by
each other. In this case, however, an
other complication arises. for Mr.. Bow.
ers would have to resign his position
as U. s. Fish Commissioner, as it is I'M
likely that even SO important county
as Berkeley should have two Of the
highest Offices in the land. 1t is IN.
reasonable to expect Mr.. Bowers to
give up his place, aud all the fish of
the sea, from the whales down to the
sardines, cry out against it, for he
knows them all by name. We confess
that we do not know what sort of adj
vice to give to our friends in the pres
ent emergency.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
an imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the nflamation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh cure. Send for circulars free.

THE old-lion of Virginia, Senator
John W. Daniel, showed in a very
plain way few days ago the effect
that Republican administration has
upon the trusts. Of the 297 trusts
doing business illegally in this coun-
try, prosecutions have been started
against 46 Of them since the passage
of the Sherman anti.trus law. Of
course, none of them has been hurt
and in the meantime 106 new trusts
have been formed.
The trusts are not afraid of the Re.
publican administration.

TEE preeent condition Of the cam

TEE preeent condition Of the cam
paign is very satisfactory to the Dem.
ocrats. Mr.. Bryan seems to be gain
ing in strength every day, and his for.
chile speeches are attracting the peo-
pie to him. Wherever he speaks vast
crowds press to hear him, and the ear
nestness and the enthusiasm of the vo-
tiers are equally impressive. The pol
icies that he advocates are finding ia
vor with the people everywhere, and
public sentiment is unquestionably
with him.
Mr.. Taft's campaign tour is an ad-
mitted failure. His voice is weak.
his speeches Indifferent, and instead
of enthusing the crowds, he himself is
often confused by the embarrassing
questions that are asked him. The
laboring people are against him all
over the land. His own State Of Ohio
is doubtful, and it is said that even
the colored. voters will not support
him. He is less popular in the West
than any candidate of recent years,
and many persons believe that there
will be big Republican slump in that
section. In New York it is admitted
that the Democrats will elect their
State ticket, with the chances very
strongly in favor of Bryan also.
The Democrats are united in this
campaign as they have not been in
many years. As an example, polit.
ical meeting held in New York Tues.
day night may be mentioned. At this
great Democratic gathering speeches
were made by three former members
of President Cleveland 8 csbinet-Da.
vid R. Francis, former Secretary of the
Interior, Judson Harmon, former At
torney. General, and Hilary A. Her.
bert, former Secretary Of the Navy.
The addresses of these men were able
and enthusiastic, and the vast crowd
was simply tumultuOus in its applause.
Not only are the Democrats united,
but a great army of independent vo-
tiers will this year cast their votes for
Mr.. Bryan. On the other hand, the
Republicans are greatly weakened BY
factional disturbances in many States
in Ohio, New York, West Virginia,
Iowa and elsewhere-and they no
longer have the slightest claims to
prosperity, their great slogan in times
gone by.
Viewing the campaign conservative
ly, it looks mighty good to the DEM
ocrats.

Our esteemed fellow-countyman,
the Hon. Richard Randolph McMa-
hon, has attained some temporary no.
toriety by publishing an alleged IN
terview with former President Grover
Cleveland Although it was eight
years ago, Mr.. Mcmahon repeats with
marvellous accuracy Mr.. Cleveland
very words, and. for fear that there
might be some comment as to this re-
markable feat of memory, he says: 81
shall never forget these words.' Then
he goes on to detail, in quotation
marks, as to what Mr.. Cleveland said
derogatory to Mr.. Bryan, and as
serts that the ex. President declared
him to be as dangerous to our country
as was Aaron Burr.
This publication Of Mr.. McMahon's
reminds US of the fake posthumous
letter published by the New York
Times, in which Mr.. Cleveland lauds
Mr.. Taft-a letter pronounced spuri-
GUS by Mr.. Cleveland's widow and by
bis executor. 1t is a cheap trick
without even the grace of originality.
1t will not seriously affect the cam
psign, nor will it add much to Mr.
McMahon's standing. Indeed, we
think it comes in very poor taste from
a man who was a Democrat only as
long as the party kept him in fat
Office, and he will lose the respect
now of those who have heretofore toll
Grated him.
Mr.. Mcmahon isn't any better than
the general run Of Democrats. Fact
is, this statement might be made
bit stronger.

81 have used the cod liver and iron
preparation, Vinol, as tonic and do
not believe there is any other medicine
that can equal it. 1t built me up and

more than was claimed for it," Rev.

Vinol is an honest medicine, it con-
tains no injurious drugs, but it actually
does contain all Of the medicinal, cura-
tive and bodybuilding elements Of cod
liver oil actually taken from fresh Gods
livers without drop Of oil to upset the
stomach and retard its work, and tonic
iron added.
Vinol is recognized throughout the
world as the greatest strength creator

In speech in Chicago the other

fact that the Republican managers
have just made a strenuous appeal for
q million dollars to add to their cam.
paign fund, and he pertinently asked,
What do they want it for2" They
do not need it for legitimate campaign
purposes, for they could not spend that
SUM properly between now and the Sd

ferencs-they want the money to bride

IT is said that Mr.. Taft's managers
are not overjoyed at his campaigning
tour, and that he would be called off
the stump if there was any way to do
it without causing too much criticism.
While he has been greeted by fairly
large crowds at various places, he has
been unable to arouse any special en-
thusiasn, and his speeches have fallen
fat. His weak voice, his dull SEN
fences, and the fact that he is on the
defensive and must spend most of his
time in explaining his Objectionable
injunction decisions, make his speeches
tame and undressing.
Those who hear Mr.. Taft are forced
TO the conclusion that there is not
much to him, and his tour is doing
him more harm than good.
