Ex-SBenator Rice, of Ark., who wasa

ing reconstruction days, wrote to Dem-
ocratic headquarters several days azo
he had abandoned
the Republican party and to offer to
take the stump for Bryan and silver.
His offer was accepted,
Hon. Johu W. Kern, of Indiana,
who, although not a silver man, will |
vote for Bryan, said while in Wash- |
ington: “The assertion that free sil-|
ver sentiment is dyimg out is not true, |
#0 far as Indiana is concerned. Though
a believer in sound money, I shall vote
for Bryan. As Ex-Senator McDonald,
of our state, used to say, even though
your platform has one bad plank with
all the rest good, it is more worthy of
support than the opposition platform
with one plank half way good and all
the rest rotten. I have no doubt that
the electoral vote of Indiana will go to
Bryan. The defection of sound mon-
ey Democrats will be more than bal-
anced by gains from the Republicans.
The bolting Democrats in Indiana are
all Generals and Colonels; there are no
privates in their army, and so every
one on the list is conspicuous. 1 be
lieve that Bryan is going to win, al-
though a systematic campaign of coer-
cion will be employed by the agents of
Hanna. Neither bribery nor threats
will be effectual, and the more they
are used the greater will be the resent.

In a recent letter to the manufactur-
ers Mr. W. F. Benjamin, editor of the
Spectator, Rushford, N. Y,, says: “It
may be a pleasure to you to know the
high esteem in which Chamberlain's
medicines are held by the people of
your own state, where they must be
best known. Ansunt of mine, who
resides at Dexter, Iowa, was about to
visit me a few years since, and before
leaving home wrote me, asking if they
were sold here, stating that if they
were not she would bring a quantity
with her, as she did not like to be
without them.” The medicines refer
red to are Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
edy, famous for its cures of colds and
croup; Chamberlain's Pain Balm for
rheumatism, lame back, pains in the
side and chest, and Chamberlain's Col
ie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for
bowel complaints. These medicines
have been in constant use in Towa for
almost a quarter of a century. The
people have learned that they are arti-
cles of great worth and merit, and un.
equaled by any other. They are for
sale by Wm. Pealer,
. Swartz, Tusseyville, and R. E. Bar.
