Catarrh
8 a blood disease. Until tne poison la
expelled from the system, there can
be no cure for this loathsome and
dangerous malady. Therefore, the only
effectlvo treatment Is a thorough course
of A j nr'3 Sarsaparilla the bestpf all
blood purifiers. The sooner ypu begin
tho better j delay is dangerous,'
" I was troubled with catarrh for over
two years. I tried various remedies,
and was treated by n number of physi
cians, but received no benefit until I
began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A
few bottles of this medicine cured mo of
this troublesome complaint and com-
fletely restored my health." Jesso M.
loggs, llolman's 31111s, N. C.
"When Ayer's Sarsaparilla was rec
ommended to me for catarrh, I was in
din cd to doubt its efficacy. Having
tried so many remedies, with little ben
efit, I had no faith that anything would
cure me. I became emaciated from loss
of appetite and impaired digestion. I
bad nearly lost the sense of smell, ant)
my Bystcm was badly deranged. I was
about discouraged, when n friend urged
me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and re
ferred me to persons whom It had cured
of catarrh. After taking half a dozen
bottles of this medicine, I am convinced
that tiie only sure way of treating this
obstinate disease Is through the blood."

in McKlnlcy's District.

1'rrsonally, but Ilelioiineptt I'nlltlralty

Democrntlo Vote Gov. Hill's Ilecoptloru
CANTOS, O., Oct. SB. Governor Hill, ac
companied by J, S. Ewnn and G. W. BlaVe,
arrived here sTiortly after 6 o'clock last
evening nnil were at once drlvon to the
residence of Prosecutor Welly, where a re
ception was held in the governor's honor.
The meeting the governor was to address
was set for 8 o'clock and the hull was filled
to lt utmost capacity long before that
time. Governor Hill did not reach the hall
till about 0 o'clock, when the pent up en
thusiasm of the crowd broke out In a tre
menduous round of applause. Mr. Welty
acted as chairman and Introduced Gov
ernor Hill as one of tho most distinguished
men in tho country and the future presi
dent. (Invornor Hill's Siepoh.
In his nddress Governor 11111 prefaced
bis remarks by dwelling on tho elections
bill; the admission of the new states and
called the McKtnlcy nn Infamous tariff
bill, the sum of all vlllanles.
He said tho primary object of a tariff
was to raise the necessary expenses of gov
ernment, and no more should bo raised.
Tho plaeo for tho surplus was In the
pockets of tho masses. Republicans had
reduced the surplus by unprecedented ex
travagant appropriations, redeeming their
pledges and endangering a deficiency. He
denied that the Democrats were ever com
mitted to free trade, and asserted that it
favored more than any other party ever
organlicd protection to American labor.
The tariff must be high enough to equalize
wages between countries. He defended
tho Mills bill ns furnishing adequate pro
tection to every laborer and as subserving
the best Interests of the country.
Mr. MrKlnlei- AttRtkvd rolltlcnlly.
Barring the free list every article, on
which Urift reduced in that bill retained 0
sufficient duty to equalize wages. Demo
crats insist that little or no tariff should be
placed on necessities or raw material
for manufacture. He said it was hoped to
popularize tho McKinley bill by benefit
ing all a little, but government should
have little to do wltb business interests.
McKinley was tho strongest protectionist
ever in congress. No monopolist ever ap
plied to him in vain. No wages had been
raised since the bill Dashed, and the Drices
of nprR4lrlpa hftfl rlnpn. lip nplcnnwlpdr.p.1 i
that merchants were taking advantage of
the bill, but charged that the bill furnished
the opportunity. Ho denounced the bill as
framed in the Interest of monopoly and to
tho injury all other classes.
Wages and the Tariff.
Ho denied that the tariff kept up wages
In this country, and accounted for the
higher wages here by the greater ability
and Intelligence of the people and through
labor organizations. He denounced the
unseating of Democratic representatives
from the south: thendmlsslonof Wyoming
and Idaho and the rejection of New Mex
ico, alleging tbat the latter was equal to
both the former, and charging it all to
partisanship. He said congress bad been
in session for months without rules.
Speaker Reed, promising to act according
to established parliamentary law, had re-
lused to recognize Democrats desiring to
speak and Ignored the rights of the minor
ity. He spoks of tho elections bill in the
most bitter language, saying It surpassed
the tariff and all other issues as the great
question of the hour, and appealing to the
people to resent it.
The New York Census.
He dented that there are dishonest elec
tions in the south, and said the colored
people were happy and contented, and
those not votlug did not want to. He
charged that the bill endangered the liber
ties of the people, and the Republican
census officials were Imposing falso returns
In New York to deprive the state of its
Just representatives in congress by keeping
the population down.
A Hle'i Tribute to Mr. McKinley.
Bpeaklflg locally, ho eulogized Mr, War
wick and paid a high tribute to Mr. Mc
Kinley, crediting him with ability, Integ
rity and Intellect personally, but denounc
ing him politically as a bitter partisan,
unworthy of a single complimentary vote
from Democrats, whom he long misrepre
sented in congress. He said no ruling of
Speaker Iteetf s was so outrageous or par
tisan out that nnu iMcivmiey's indorse
ment, or at least he bad not tho courage to
oppose it.
McKinley bad opposed every measure
for the good of the country introduced
since he had been In Congress. Ho as
sured the Democrats of the district that
they had no easy task, and said the whole
country was watching the district, and
every voter would ho approached to for
sake uls alliance with the Democracy.
Governor Hill this morning went to Woos
ter and thence to Millcrsburg Thursday
and Maslllon Friday.
Grant's Letter of Acceptance.
Nkw Youk, Oct. 23. Mayor Grant's let
ter accepting the Tammany Hall nomina
tion for re-election tp the mayoralty has
been given out. The mayor arraign the
Hepubllcuu party for depriving the city of
1300,000,000 which would have accrued If It
had obtained the World's fair and for the
loss of rupld transit legislation, nil because
this is a Democratic city. In defense of
his administration he points to the de
creased tax levy, the Increased opening of
streets, the improved pavements, the many
new docks built (the latter insuring the
retention of commerce that might have
p,nne elsewhere), the work on new school
buildings and the cutting of overhead
wires and placing them underground, lie
points with pride to the police una lire de
partments, and to the Fusion party he re
plies that the running of the city by a
political parry uas proveu. a success.
