At no time in the history of the
Democratic party was there more
need for caution, patriotism and
statesmanship than at the present.
An unfornately large majority in
the House f JJepresentative opened
the o'ud Congress with a factional
fight which brought (he i'rhhmtial
question into Congress instead of al
lowing it to remain where it belongs
ed with the Convention to be select
ed by the peopk'.
We would be untrue to principle
and to our party were we to fall to
express our honest convictions and
to hoist the danger signal at the ap
proach oi the storm.

Congressman Page spoke on a con-j
tested delegation case. He declared
the Deniocra's were sound on Ckves
land's tardl policy, and sound on
the question of free silver, but the
majority in Congress might be
counted upon to do nothing tifnt
would injure the 'party or its candi
dates in the approaching elections.
A resolution was presented by
Samuel ll Honey, and referred to
the platform committee, instructing
the delegab.s to the national con
vention to vote for Cleveland. It
was received with great enthusiasm.
Tlie platform as reported to the
convention demands free raw mate
rials. It approves the Springer wool
bill, and urges its tarly passage. It
favors the placing of iron, coal and j
timber oil the five 1 lot. Upon the
coinage question it reads: Evt ry
dollar of American money, whether
of gold, silver or pap-r, ought to be
of equal value tile world over " The
repealing of the Sherman coinage act
is favored because of its failure to
accomplish results desired, and for a
like reason free coinage of silver is

The six Cleveland men who were

There ain't no doubt about spring

In most diseases, euro depends upon
the promptness with which remedies are
administered. If the remedy be taken
T.hen symptoms ot disease first mani
fest themselves and before the normal
strength of the body is prcatly impaired,
the complaint may often bt; checked and
cured in tlm beginning, tin: sufferer thus
escaping sickness of perhaps a fatal
eharuetiT. This is especially true of com
plaints to which the voting are liable.
First symptoms are often neglected,
simply beeausu no effective remedy
happen to bo at band, and it is not
until this disease litis gained consider
able headway thut means are taken to
arrest its course. Alas, how frequently
these means prove too late!
Every household, therefore and, for
that matter, every individual should
bo provided with a few simple remedies
for the common conipltduts to which
all are exposed. As no complaints are
more common than those of the throat
mid lungs, a safe and efficacious ano
iyne should always be within reach.
Ve have been impelled to make these
cautionary remarks by happening to
notice in a recent paper tho caso of a
child who would, undoubtedly, have
died nt croup hud thero not been In tho
house part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. The following incident re
lated by tho father of the littlo one,
should certainly impress every parent
with the necessity of being forearmed
for a similar emergency:
" One of my children Lad croup. The
case was attended by our physician,
and was supposed to bo well under con
trol. On.) night I was startled by tho
child's hard breathing, and on going to
his bedside found him strangling. He
had nearly ceased to breathe. Idealiz
ing that tlie child's alarming condition
had become possible in spite of the med
icines already administered, I reasoned
that such remedies would be of no avail.
Having part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral in the house, I gave tho child
three doses, at short intervals, and
anxiously waited results. From tho
moment tho Pectoral was given, tha
child's breathing grew easier, and In a
short tiirin he was sleeping quietly and
breathing naturally. The child is alive
and well to-day, and I do not hesitato
to say that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved
Lis life." - - i ... O
