March 6th, 1S95, as follows:
"Five years ago I became so nervous that
mental work was a burden. I could not rest
at night on account of sleeplessness. My
attention was called to Dr. Miles Restora

with the very best effect. Since then I
have kept a bottle in my house and use it
whenever my nerves become unstrung, with
always the same good results. My son also

. A united Democracy can redeem
the State tnia year, but if the par
ty divides, there is no hope of suc
cess. Democratic defeat means
Republican victory. Every hon
orable effort must be made to hold
the party together. All true Dem
ocrats mu3t work and vote for
every democratic nominee, coun
ty, State and national. When did
it become Democratic doctrine,
that a Democrat must bolt the
nominees of the party, il they do
not happen to agree with him on a
monetary vi Other question, wheth
er political or non-political? The
rule heretofore has always been to
stand by the party and to support
in pood faith all its nominees
The majority will control in the
long run, and in the meantime the
the minority must submit. What
ever may be the differences or con
troversies among "Democrats, let
us settle them all inside the party.
There is no other hope of accomp
lishing results and no other party
will bring the people any relief
What has become of the "Green
back party?" How can the "Pop
ulist party'' help the people to
good government and a better cur
rencyr lhat organization has
about run its course. Another
party with another name and oth
er principles will probably arise
from its ashes this vear or two
years .hence. Why should any
Democrat leave his party ? What

that of tho republic: and it will be

A HANDSOME DEPENSC OF CLEVELAND
Some men iish to break up the
party on account of their hatred
of Grover Cleveland. He has ben
just, generous, magnanimous to
the South. His policy has reduced
taxation, suppressed violeijc nnd
disorder, righted Republican
wroogs, "repealed Federal elec
tion laws," made uforco bills' im
possible, guaranteed to th South
all her rights and honors in the
Union and maintained and pre
served the public credit. And yet
manv Southern mendeubunce him
for all that is bad ! He has been
true to his pledges aud has ad-
out being lrrmj!;nnt! y cfippUd.
