For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders ai won

ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Corraition Powdery
are vrappe in doses. In fact, in
theirfirepyation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer
cise in the filling of a physician's
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
small doses, . prepared from the
purest and highly concentrated in
gredients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good-for-e

CLEVELAND'S CLARION CALL.
The Democratic ex-President I'rges
the Kana and Kile lo Untie for the
Contest In November obsolete Is
sues Nhould Be rflanfully Aban
donedHe Arraigns the Adnniila
trallon. In an article written for the current
Saturday Evening Post former Presi
dent Cleveland urges bis "rank and
file associates" of the Democratic party
to unite and take advantage of the op
portunities of next November.
"I am one of those," he writes, "who
believe that there is an opportunity for
Democratic success in the coming presi
dential election.
"Through attachment to the party in
which I am enlisted and an intense de
sire for its ascendency make such be
lief exceedingly welcome, they certainly
don't create it. It is built upon an un
shaken and abiding trust in the patriot
ism and intelligence of my fellow coun
trymen." Mr. Cleveland's paper opens witn a
re-iteration of the declaration that he
made three years ago:
'Our fighting forces will respond list
lessly and falteringly if summoned to
a third defeat in a strange cause; but if
they hear the rallying call of true Dem
ocracy they will gather for battle with
old time Democratic enthusiasm and
courage.
Referring to his faith in his Demo
cratic associates he continues:
"This trusi will not ptrmit me to
overlook the meaning of the daily in
creasing unrest among our people,
growing out of the startling and flip
pant abandonment by the party in
power of our national traditions and
maxims, its disregard of our national
noral restraints, its inconsiderate ten
dency to set aside national good faith,
its willingness to break away from safe
and accustomed moorings, and ii con
temptuous neglect of our national mis
sion. Surely these conditions, together
with the broken pledges and forgotten
promises of reform that vex tHte sight
on every side, not only abundantly ex
plain the popular distress and fear pre
vailing everywhere in the land, but
suggest that in such stress of political
weather those of our fellow citizens who
thoughtfully and constantly love our
free institutions will not be unmindful
of such safety and quiet as may be of
fered them by a patriotic and conserva
tive Democracy."
Mr. Cleveland thinks these effuditions
justify tbe assertion of Democracy's
opportunity. He says:
"It should be remembered however,
that opportunity may be only djtantly
related to acOal accomplishment, ?nd
that it does not of itself, unaided and
alone, warrant the expectation of reach
ing successful results.
"This is no lime for cunning finesse.
nor for e use of words that conceal
intentions or carry a double meaning.
The Democratic party has a message to
send to iu followers and to the masses
of the American people. Let that mea
sage to be expressed in language easily
understood, unconfused by evasion and
untouched by the taint of jugglery.
Obsolete issues and questions no longer
challenging popular interest should be
manfully abandoned."
Mr. Cleveland urge, tariff reform,
pleads for economy in th. expenditure
of public money and charges the oppo
position with having made promises
and broken them. He arraigns the ad
ministration's Philippine policy and
refers to the isthmian canal in these
words:
"The Democratic parly has been con
sistent and unremitting in its advocacy
of inter-oceanic canal, and has looked
forward to the day when such a high
way of commerce, built under the .aus
pices of our government, would be con
tributed by America to the world's
progress and civilization. It is, never
theless, not within the mandates of the
Democratic creed, that even the con
summatiug of so noble an enterprise as
this the territorial and other rights of
any other nation should be disregarded
and tha good faith of such nations
shaken."
Mr. Cleveland concludes as follows
"At such a time as this the Demo
cratic party cannot with honor under
take the battle of the people except
under a leader that not only represents
its best traditions and purposes, but
fully realizes what is meant by the
tremendous issue of the conflict; and
bis selection should not depend upon so
small a consideration aa the locality
whence he comes.
"The Democracy's opportunity is al
ready in sight; but only ina campaign
waged in reliance upon the people's
love of country and devotion to nation
al morality and under a leadership that
personifies these sentiments will Le
found the Democracy's hope."

Chatham Kecord .
It is quite a coincidence that Mr,
Kluttz is from the same town in which
two others gentlemen declined election
to Congress. In 1329 Mr. John Giles,
of Salisbury, was elected to Congress
and declined to serve, preferring his
old office as clerk of the SujH'rior Court.
And only a few years ago Hon. Ctrr
Craige,of Salisbury, was nominated
for Congress, and although his election
was assured, he declined to run. So
Salisbury can boast of having had three
citizens who declined election to Con
gress.
