The occupants of the house offered no pro test, but all eemed to have special business in the milk pit, while the lightning proceeded in its own way to send maesages to all on the line, badly damaging Mr. Neal's phone, be sides shivering the weather-boarding on the house, and knocking off some plastering in the hall. It used Mr. I. S. Randall's in much the same manner next evening.

One of the commonest mistakes and one of the costliest is think ing that success is due to some genius, some magic something or jther which we do not possess. Success is generally doe to holding on, and raiiure ic.ieiiiug go. a uu decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it bo success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and persev erance that word "decide"- con tains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach, will brmg success.

He re viewed the Democratic adminis tration in the State and affairs foi the past three years and referred to the industrial progress during this time. The Democratic party will treat with fairness every in terest in the State. His reference to the duty of the party to give eyery boy and girl a ohanoe to get an edncation and see that' no old soldier should suffer or want, was loudly applauded.

We affirm onr allegiance- to the De moors tin oartv and its principle, at enunciated in its national platform. We denounce the policy of imperial ism as inaugurated by the Republican national administration and declare it to be obnoxious to oar form of gov ernment and fracght witb danger to the very existence of the republic. We deaounce as oppressive and illegal those combinations of capital Known as trnsta and monopolies tnat stifle competition, throttle individual effort and destroy the generous spirit of. rivalry that should exist In the eommerical world. ' ' We denounce- -the deceptive and sorry coarse of the Republican party in Congress In farthering the exist ence of trusts by its refusal to enact legislation restraining them and to enforee in stood faith the existine laws against, them, that party being in the full control of . all branches of the government. ; i we denounce the present iniquitous, unjust and-trutt creating protective tariff, imposed upon the people by the Republican party, and demand its im mediate revision, to the end that-all unjust burdens shall be removed and especially anon the necessaries of life. Its provisions enable the 'trusts to extort from the people unreasonable profits and to sell their product to consumers at home at greater ; prices man are charged lor the same to the foreign consumer. We demand. therefore that all such trust made goods be placed on the free - list. We favor the establishment of the Appalachian Park and nrga that our Senators and Representatives in Con gress use their best efforts to secure its establishment. - . - We again appeal to the people with a confidence that it is only from the Democratic party . that there can be expected an honest, capable and effi cient administration of the govern ment of the-State, and point with pride to its past history in the admin istration of the affairs of State, and challenge a comparision with the iniquities of fusion and Republican rale. We promise the people of the State a continuance . of . that honest, safe, conservative and economical government which has always characterized Democratic rule . and pledge our best efforts for the advance ment of the material orosneritv and happiness of the whole people. lit fV ' uH'yvm V".1 ''tul 1 - A CORSET TO FIT BOTH FIG URE W PURSE!
