It was Helen's Hojt'u third rtrvolu- j tion in the faahionuble uiael.-st roiu call ed "society," and as yet, though tslight ly giddy, she had not lost her head. Neither had she lst her heart, al- J lieit he was twenty-two, and there are young women who think if lliy t ill retail! onesion of their hettrts up to that advanetnl age they are destined to hold them forever. It may be doubted if she had a heart to lose. he had a heart, but her head went with it, and, when a woman's head goes with her heart, she feldoiu loses iL (She may let it go into the keeping of a man, but that is not al ways lobiug it, aa the term is generally applied, among sentimentalist. Hlie knows where it is, and it is never be yond recall. These are the sensible people of the world. Never enthusi asts, but always trustworthy, and steady to the end, come weal or come woe, if so be that the hoi era of their hearts are worthy. Heroines they may be, sacrificing everything to motives higher than mere sentiment. That Helen Hoyt was such a woman could not be said definitely, but there was evidence to that effect in the cir cumstances that three men were swing ing uncertainly in a balance before her. This is beyond the power of the emo tional euthusiasL he may have three men in the balance at three different times, but never three at one time. She chooses first, and the man puts himself in the balance afterward. As young as she was, she had rea soned three things out for herself, aid ed and abetted somewhat by the coun sel of the Colonel, a man twice herage, a veteran of many emotional battles, and a ripe experience, which had nev er been rudely shocked by matrimony. She had seen him much oftener than the three men in the balance, and she had discussed them with him, not al ways directly, as if she were the inter ested jiersoii, but oftenest under the thin veil of a supposititious case, as is tiie custom of men and women whose experience needs a remedy which they are too difiideiit to ask for openly. Fortunately for such, there are those who will humor them. This afternoon Miss Hoyt sat in the quiet drawing room, thinking. The Colonel aud she had talked a long time the day before on this to her all im IorUut subject, aud he was to wine again at 5 o'clock. To add to the in terest of the Colonel's visit of counsel, their last talk had not been of a sup posititious case, but he had made it di rectly personal, and she had not denied that she was the previously supposed young woman whose destiny was to be determined by questions, analysis, aud reason. "Ah, me," she Wrought, "what a tudy the heart is. I wonder if all wo men's hearts are as mine will persist in being? I know many men, but of them all it seems there is not one that fills it, and Alice, who is the dearest of girls, says there can - be but one. And the Colonel well, the Colonel tried to point out the way, but he seems to ob scure it by his own presence. Of them all, three stand out distinctly, asking me to choose. My head says "choose," but mv heart remaius dumb. If it should siieak, I wonder what it would 6ay? I wonder if in all the world there is no magic touch to break its seal of silence. There stands the professor, a man much older than myself, a grave man, noble-hearted and good, devoted to his scientific studies and rising in his profession ; ill at we and slow of speech in the tumult of society ; mani fest in r his brilliancy only in some philosophical or scientific discussion with men ; reserved, yet loving me, he says, with an ardent yet absorbing love, which must be the pledge of a happy, comfortable future. But is it true? Does a woman find in science and phil osonhy what her heart craves? Will the man who is so profoundly interest ed in these subjects fi nd his wife a substi tute for them ? His sweetheart she may b3 for the time, but the Colonel says there is much difference between a sweet heart and a wife in most men's minds, and I wish I didn't half believe the Colonel." She laughed a short, hard" laugh, and looked out of the wi ndow a moment at a man aud maid as they walked slowly along, very intent upon each other. Sweethearts," she said, almost cyn ically, and became thoughtful again. And next is the artist," her thoughts whispered to her. The Col oncl says an artist is lovely to hang on the wall for ornament, but he is of un certain value as a piece of domestic furniture. Still, I like the artist very much indeed. Of course, 'he is youth ful, dreamy, and an idealist with the g ize ana looKs or a poet, nut sucn things appeal to most young women as they appeal to me. Not to my every day sense, perhaps, but to the artistic longings that move every refined soul, aud I hope I am sufficiently refined to appreciate the ideal, although I don't want to neglect the real. His slightest attention is as graceful as a sonnet, so different from the clumsy, well-meaut efforts of the professor, but is it sincere' Does he not study it as he would study and fashion a love ditty tome? Pos sibly to some other girl. Men are de ceivers ever. With wealth and lux uries lavished upon him, he lingers on in retrospective glimpses of the past his eyes, dimmed by the subdued fad ing tints of rare old tapestries, shrink from the glare and bustle of the pres enL A career ! the word has a brusque and mnrtial sound that disturbs his reveries ! Ah, if life were only a sunny morning : a canoe alloat upon a placid stream with a volume of Ibsen and no clock to tick away the flight of time. Would it not be wiser to accept the .bread, somewhat thickly cut, but well buttered, with all that science offers? The Colonel says it would ; and, really, I begin to think the Colouel is a valu able counselor. Tbe fact Is, I like the Colonel, and when a woman likes a man she likes bis advice, and likes to take It, if for no other reason than to please him. Which I think is the height of unselfishness, for advice is so hard to take. The Colonel smiled at me Sunday when the third man came down to see me. He smiled, too, as if set ESTABLISHED 1827. he had found something. But he said nothing directly. - "I wonder if he thinks I like the third man best John Franklin, that's a good substantial name, but John isn't quite up to it. He's a Harvard kind of a man, of the sunny, flitting, class-day-in-June type; physically perfect, hand some, stunning, I might say, and, much more, he stands at the University gates with empty pockets, half soberly, half gladly, and all problematically, gazing n'o the great unsolved future. Is it my inissiou to help him solve the prob lem ? Does he love me because: he is oung, and love in the light of youth, shining whither it will? Would he be the same in the aftertimes? Would his promise meet the fulfillment I expect that any would expect? More; that any woman has the right to demand of the man to whom she gives her heart? Is he sure as the older man ? As the sweetheart of his youth fades liefore him, in his wife, withered by the years that wreck the beauty of so many wo men, will he, iu his strong manhood, be as tender and loving as he now is? The Colonel says a womanshnuld not marry a man so near her own age that she should grow old before he docs. The Colonel, I think, is arguing for himself, because he has waited so long, that he must either marry a woman wenty years younger than himself or fill a bachelor's grave, I know it, for he has told me so himself, an 1 he says it is a dreadful thought to perpetuate his loneliness. Sometimes I feel real sorry for the Colonel, because he is such congenial, companionable, honest, kind of an old fellow ! who would lie so nice to have around all the time. Not much romance, of course, but what's romance after the wedding day? Heigho, I wish I were like Alice, She didn't have to make a choice. The man simply appeared and the choice made itself." Miss Hoyt arose from her chair and stretched herself as one does when wak ing. She hadn't thought so much in months, and it made her tired, without accomplishing the purpose sought. The three men were still in the balance, aud it showed no variation iu favor of any one as against l lie outer two. one stepped to the window as the Colonel came up aud rang the door bell. "Oh," she exclaimed, as he entered the room, 'I don't know whether I've been asleep or not, but I have surely had an attack of nightmare." 'Three of a kind still in your hand. eh?" he smiled as he shook hands with her. "Yes," she sighed. "Then fate must hold a royal flush," le said, "to win the game." 'Can fate hold such a hand," she as ked, hopelessly, almost. "Fate makes its own decrees." "Then why uoesirt it do it in my case . It seems to leave it an to me to do." "My dear Miss Hoyt," he said to her more gently man ins usual toneoi .a .a a a lightness and jocularity, "it is not three men you should have in your head, but one in your heart." 'But which one?" she asked, ner vously, for she saw the Colonel's hand tremble and his eyes were turned from her. 'I cannot tell you if you do not know," he replied, and this time his eves looked straight into hers, and she felt a heart-throb she had never felt before. "Isn't it funny," remarked Miss Hovt an hour later, "that I never thought of you?" "It's a blessing to me that you didn't," he answered, "for if you had ever taken me iuto your head, I never could have gotten into your heart. A woman" concluded the Colouel, senteu tiously, but with infinite satisfaction, "doesn't need a head anyway ; the man is the head of the family." And Miss Hoyt only smiled and was conteut with this early assumption of authority, for her heart wm at rest, aud when a woman's heart is at rest it is easy to smile and be contented. A Woman's Hoar. "Flease state to the Court exactly what you did between 8 and 9 o'clock on Wednesday nioruing," said a law yer to a delicate-looking little woman on the witness stand. "Well," she said after a moment's re flection, "I washed my two children and got them ready for school, aud sewed a button on Johauy's coat aud mended a rent in Nellie's dress. Then I tidied up my sittingroom and made two beds and watered my house plants and glanced over the morning paper. Then I dusted my parlor and set things to rights iu it aud washed some lamp chimneys and combed my baby's hair and sewed a button ou one of her little shoes, and then I swept out my front entry and brushed aud put away the children's Sunday clothes aud wrote a note to Johnny's teacher asking her to excuse him for not being at school on Friday. Then I fed my canary bird and gave the grocery mail an order aud swept oil the back porch, and then I sat down and rested for a few minutes before the clot k struck 9. That's all." "All !" said the dazed lawyer. "Ex cuse me, ju!ge ; I must get my breath before I ca'l the next witness." The Discovery Saved His Life. Mr. CJ. Caillouette, Druggist, Bea versville, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life. Was taken wtth La Grippe and tried all the nhvsicians for miles about, but of g af no avail aud was given up and told I could not live.

A recent communication iu a Somer set paier, from the pen of Mr. "Chic cubabie, iu t ie North of the county," has something to say about the pranks of the boys of Petersburg, two score and more years agt. Suppose one Uy did "Goatstodey;" did not he drive the snipes into the lug, or try his liest to do so, while the other fellow held the bag open? And if the Somertield boy did not understand the minutiie of tin; seductive game of "Peewee," was it not only a reciprocal and neighborly feeling that he should be taught to play the game? As for the "Lame Old Soldier," Mr. C. would not have a "stranger with in our midst" go away fioni town unin formed in regard to it, would he? Be sides all this, every boy should lie ini tiated iuto the mysteries of "Digging Potatoes;" and Mr. C. certainly ought not say a word against the broad hospi tality that prompted said initiation, ought he? Suppose, for instance, that the kindly disposed Petersburg boys occasionally "got it on the nose," or even "on the neck," does Mr. C. suppose that the other fellow didn't get some of it too? When the plans did "gang aft aglee," did they not go the other way a good number of times? The Somerfield boys were not half a ltd lot, for they were al ways ready to accommodate the Pet- ersbrrg lxiys with fun, frolic or fight. They met the Petersburg loys half way when a fight was on. Just here it would not lie out of place to inquire of Mr. C. If he ever heard of a circumstance connected with two Petersburg boys, no names may be mentioned, for it might not 1 pleasant to think about. Let us say Jones and Brown concluded it would be real nice to whip the two Smith lioys, aud they laid in wait for the Smiths. "Tell it not In Gath," fFr-sad to say, Jones and Brown were Sunday-School boys, aud the circumstance to be related oc curred on Sunday. As tlte writer un derstood the matter, Jones and Brown thought the Smith boys were "dead ..a ai. . I 1 A 1 easy, m tact, in tneir minus, tney had the Smith boys badly "done up" loug liefore they put in their appear ance, for they lived in the country. Jones aud Brown had their coats off, ami waited rather impatiently for the Smiths to come along, as they always did on Sunday afternoons; Jones and Brown even discussed the advisability of going down the road to meet the Smiths, so auxious were they to give them a got.d whipping. Mr. C. must understand that no personal enmity existed between Jones and Brown arid the Smiths; they only wanted to whip them for the fun of the thing. Fin ally the Smiths came along, aud Jones aud Brown engaged them in conversa tion, and, in less time than it takes to relate the circumstance the light was on, Jones, according the previous ar rangement, attacking the larger and older Smith boy, and Brown the younger. The fight waged "fast and furious" for some time, but it was not long until Jones wondered "where he was at." He had "bitten otT consider ably more than he could chew;" still he was determined to put up the best fight he could, and not to let Smith know he was hardly in it. In the meantime, there were, for a wonder, no spectators, only the four boys. Brown was doing pretty well with the voumrer Smith, iu fact he was more than holding his own. Jones after ward remembered seeiug a large hand ful of yellow hair blowing along the pavement, that Brown had pulled out of Smith's head. Boys and men wore their hair long then. However, Jones "had no time to chat," or look either, as it kept him too busy trying to keep the older Smith boy from whipping him. He was pretty nearly as badly situated as "John Phoenix" was w ith the man he was fighting with, whom he was holding down with his nose between the other fellow's teeth. After while Brown had his lioy about done un. and he cried enough. There was not much fight left in Jones by this time, and, when Smith conclud ed to quit because Brown had whipped his brother, Jones was alwut the hap piest boy in Petersburg. He couldn't whip Smith, and he could hardly keep Smith from whipping him. ami lie hailed the cessation of hostilities with great joy. This learned Jones a lesson he never forgot, so the writer has heard, and that was, something after the nntto of Davy Crockett, who said: "lie sure you are right, then go ahead;" and Jones never tackled a boy again, with out sufficient provocation to have, at least, a show of justice on his side. Jones and Brown are grandfathers now, and as Mr. C. says, any one look ing on their rotund forms, and their whitening hair, and their deliberate lo comotion, and their lack of former agility, and their nose glasses, would hardly suppose that they had ever been anything but the best of Sunday school scholars, and knew their cate chism by heart. If Mr. C. knew a boy who dropped a piece of soft shoemaker's wax on and among the long hair of a worshiper be low, in the old Lutheran church, did he not know another unsauctilied boy who threw a paper wad directly into the eve of a good old deacou? If one liov nut a tack noiut up. in a pew in af m . m the Lutherau church, did not anothe deftly insert a bent pin in the chair of the leader of the orchestra? If one boy tied a tin can to the left hind lee of Wilhelm'B old gray, did not anothe son of Belial put a sharp limestone un dcr the saddle, and turn the old man' sheep-skin upside down, so it would get wet on both sides? Suppose one boy did curtail the tail of Newlon': greyhound he had too much tail any way did not another boy tie a coffee pot to the tail of one of Light's hounds, and did he not run among some teams in front of Buss' store, and stampedi the whole outfit? And if one boy, with hospitable intent, showed a disposition to share a portion, aud much the larger portion, too, of his Indiau tur uip, w ith a visiting toy, where was the other boy located, after he "with malice prepense" emptied a paper of Cayenne pepper on a hot stove, in certain store in town, while the "grav and reverend oeignlors" were engaged era in slandering their neighbors, settling p the estates of those who died, and computing the debts of all? While one degenerate son of Adam was jagging another boy in the Meth odist church, during a revival, with pin In the toe of his boot, did not Mr. C. ever hear the rejKrt about a cer tain other good boy who tied the skirts of three or four old ladies to gether, while they were devoutly pny- ng? And about the same hours when the bad boy was tramping the grass down in Hcndrickson's meadow, did not a little bird whisper a tale about ieneral Hhs' old "Archie" and 'Jack" being taken out of the pasture field, and ridden out in the mountain to a party? Was the boy who tied the felines, of the male persuasion, with tails together, over the telegraph wire, any worse than the one who had put split stick ou the tail of Capt. Brooke's dog"? Who was it that was in Anna M. Law's cherry tree, while Abraham's plums were beiug stolen? Didn't somebody take the point' off tllsan's plows, and the wheels off hit wagon, the same Sunday some other body started Benny Ayer's grist mill? Kven if the one boy did put a goose iu the hopper of the mill, was be any worse thuu the other boy, because Capt, Glisan never found his plow Irons? How the writer would like to bring Jones, Brown and the Smiths, aud all the rest together, as in the days long go: le by, but, alas! that is not to be. One of the Smiths lies bur ied somewhere on the James river, the other on the prairies of Illinois. Others, besides Smith, gave their lives to their country. Some became min isters in different Christian denomina tions, and are more zealous now in proclaiming "the glad tidings of Hal ation," than they ever were in their devilish pranks. Still others are mem lrs of different professions, lawyers, doctors, merchants, members of various State Ieg'islatures, Congressmen, etc. A devilish boy always has a heart pro portionate to his propensity for mis chief, and, as Mr. C. says, "none of these lxys, in after years, went wrong." Here is hoping that all their lives may be lengthened out to the remotest span, and that "their shadows may never grow less." Addison, Pa. M. Characteristics of Brick Pomeroy. Brick Pomeroy was a man who had more confidence in himself than any one else, itis cnaracionsnes were such that one associated with him iu newspaper work could never forget him. lib liberality toward his employ- es was wonUeriuL 11 is reiaieu oi a ST. ia Pome roy, In the heydey of his success with the LaCrosse Democrat, when his newspaper establishment was the envy of other publishers almost as much as his big subscription mail, that he paid salaries which would seem generous even these times. His composing room then was as neat as a parlor. The cases hung suspended from the ceiling by brass rods, and a gentleman of color was employed esiiecially to see that this brasswork retained its proper luster. During these days Brick Pomeroy was iu the uauit or opeuing nis own mail. A bushel banket occupied space at the end of the desk. Pomeroy kept his eye ou that la-ket and actually measured the dollars that came iu. Sometimes it would be full, too, and ujkiii these occasions it was his wont to pick up the basket, walk with it un der his arm among tbe office force, and with his face beaming with smiles, ex hibit it to them all. 'Murray,' he would say, 'what sal ary do you get now?' And when he had the answer it invariably meant a few dollars more a week tacked on to it. Pomeroy had a horror of shams and frauds, and exposed more of them through his paper, perhaps, than any other one man. One day while he was publishing his Denver paper, soma years ago, he put his head into the doorway of the room used by his associate, and said I am going away for a while. You run things until I get back.' The man addressed supposed it was a week's trip to the big tunnel under Grey's peak, bat ventured to ask how long he would be absenL 'rora month or two,' was the re ply. , 'How about the fights you have ou hand ? was asked of Brick. 'Keep them up,' he answered. But suppose I want to start a few of my own,' was suggested. 'Do so. 'Yes, but I may opvn on some one of your friends.' 'No. you won't, young man. Thank God, I haven't a friend in the world. Pomeroy was a great stickler for labor unions. His widow was printer, whom he emt 1 yed in his office at Chicago. She came to him one day and asked for work, saying she could get it nowhere, as the union was op posed to women working at the case, He gave her work, had a strike in his office, and ended the strike by marry ing the girl who had asked him for work. One of Brick Pomeroy's wives was Louise Pomeroy, once quite a famous actress. Unable to Compare. ' He Miss Kitty, I've heard it said that a kiss without a moustache is like an egg without salt.

Eloquent Speech by Senator Thurston, Chairman of the Notification Com mittee, and Patriotic Eeply by the Republican Presidential Nominee. The coaimitteee appointed by the Republican National convention to finally notify William McKinley o hU nomination for the Presidency ol the United States performed its duty well. A dispatch from Canton siys: Since this peaceful and industrious communi ty was first thrown into an uproar of enthusiasm by the exceptional honor conferred upon its distinguinhed citi zen there has been no even; so impress ive as the proceedings here Tuesday, While the city was remarkably free from the noisy shouters and the tin horn brigade, there wasau impressive ndercurreut which every patriotic neighbor of the Republican candidate r the Presidency felt and appreciated. The nomination of Maj. McKinley seems to be a personal matter with every citien of Canton, be he of high or low degree, and the gratification over the events of Tuesday was shared by every man, .woman ana cnua in tne city. It was after 12 when the notification committee reached Maj. McKiuIey's house. Mrs. McKinley and the Major's eiierable mother occupied chairs near him on the veranda. His brother s family and his pretty nieces were close about him. The chairs back of the notification committee were filled by women of Canton, Columl-us and Cleve land, whose husbands are promineut in business and public affairs. It was a banning open air scene, sweetly idyl lic iu character. Senator Thurston stepped uikui tie porch, and, in his fiery eloquence, de- delivered the official notification. He was greeted with enthusiastic applause and was frequently interrupted by the heering of the sentiments he express ed as follows: SEN Alt lit TlIl"K.STON'.S ADDKKSri. (Jufvrmtf McKinley. We are here to perform the pleasa"1 duty assigned us by the Republican National Convention, recently assem bled in St. Louis, that of formally notifying you of your nomination as the candidate of the Itepublican party for President of the L nited Mates. We respectfully request your accep tance of this ncmiuation and your ap proval of the declaration of principles adopttd ly the Convention. We a-ure you that you are the un animous choUe uf a united party, and -our candidacy will be immediately accepted by the country as an absolute guaranty of Republican success. Your nomination has I wen made in oUdience to popular demand, aud the universality and confidence of the plain people of the United States. By common consent you are their champ ion. Their mighty uprising in your be half emphasizes the sincerity of their conversion to the cardinal principles of Protection and Reciprocity as best ex emplified in that splendid Congress- it nul Act width justly ' tears your name. L nuer it mis aiiou uuiau-u to the very tulminaticn of a prosperity far surpassing that of all other peoples and all other times: a prosperity shared iu by all sections, all interests, aud all classes; by capital aud labor, by pro ducer and consumer; a prosperity so happily in harmony with the genius of popular government that its choicest bit ssings were most widely distriouttd anion? the lowliest toilers and the humblest homes. In 1S02 vour countrymen, unmindful of your solemn warnings, returned that party to pwer, which reiterated its everlasting opposition to a Protective Tariffand demanded the repeal or the McKinley Act. They sowed the wind; the reaped the whirlwind. The suffer ings and losses aud disasters to the American people from four years of Democratic Tariff are vastly greater than those w hich came to them from four years of Civil War. Out of it all one great good remains. Those who scorned your counsels sjieedily witnessed the fulfilment of your prophecies, and even as the scourged and repentant Israelites ab jured their stupid idols and resumed unquestioning allegiance to Moses and to Moses' God, so now your country men, ashamed of their errors, turn to you aud to those glorious principles for which you stand, in the full heller that your candidacy and the Republican platform mean the end of the wilder ness has come and the promised land of American prosperity is again to thtni an insured inheritance. But your nomination means more than an indorsement of Protective Taritr, of Reciprocity, of Sound Money, and of Holiest Finance, for all of which you: have so steadfastly stood; it means an indorsement of your heroic youth, your fruitful years of arduous public service, your sterling patriotism, your stalwart Americanism, jour Christian character, and the purity, fidelity, and simplicity of your private life. In all these things -you are the typical American; for all these things you are the chosen loader of the people. God give you strength to so bear the honors and meet the duties of that great office for which you are now nominated, and to which you will be elected, that your Administration will enhance the dignity and power and glory of this Republic, and secure the safety, welfare, and happiness of its liberty-loving people. OOVKRNOR MCKINLEY'S RKPLY. Senator Thurnton ami Gentlemen of the Xotifittilioii Committee of the Iiepulitititn Sat tonal Convention. To be selected as the Presidential can didate by a great party Convention re presenting so vast a number of people of the Vuitcd States, b a most dis tinguished honor, for which I would not conceal my high appreciation, al though deeply sensible of the great re sponsibilities of the trust and my ina bility to bear them without the gener ous and constant support of my fellow countrymen. Great as is the honor con ferred, equally arduous and important b the duty imposed, and in accepting the one I assume the other, relying on tbe patriotic devotiou of the people to the bet Interests of our beloved count ry, and the sustaining care and aid of Him without whone support all we do U empty and in vain. Should the eple ratify the choit of th great Convention for which you speak, my only aim will be to promote the public good, which, In America, b always the gxl of the greati-st number; the honor of our country, and the welfare of the people. The question to be kittled in the Na tional contest this year are as serious find important as any great iovenucn- tal problems that have confronted us in the past quarter of the century. They commanded our sjlier judgiuent and a settlement free from partisan prejudi ces and pulsion, 1 1 lit tieial to cui.-ehts and befitting the honor and grandeur of the Republic. They touch every in terest of our common country. Our Industrial supremacy, our productive capacity, our business and our com mercial prosperity, our lalior and its rewards, our National credit and cur rency, our proud financial honor, and our splendid free citieiiship the birthright of every American are all involved in the leiidiiigcaiii'iaign, and thus every home in the land b directly and intimately connected with the proper settlement. Great are the issue involved iu tbe coming election and eager ami earnest the people for their rights and de terminations. Our domestic trade mu.-t be won back at. J our idle workingmcn employed in gainful occupations at American wages. Our heme niarkt t must be restored to its proud rank cf first in the world, and our foreign trade, so precipitately cut otr by ad verse National legislation, reojiened on fair and equitable terms for our surplus agricultural and manufacturing pro ducts. Protection and Reciprocity twin measures of true American policy should again command the earnest en couragement of the Government at Washington. Public confidence must be resumed, and the skill, the energy, aud the capital of our country tied ample employment at home, sustained, encouraged, aud defended against the unequal comtietitiou and serious dis advantages with which they are now contending. The Government of the United States must raise enough money to meet both its tuirtnt tjjii.-s aud increasiug needs. Its it vt nuts should be so rai.-td as to prctttt tLe material interests of our ptople, with the lightest possible drain ujon their resources, and maintain that high stand ard of civilization which has ' distin. guished oar country for more than": cen tury of its existence. The American people hold the fin ancial honor of our Government as sacred as our flag, and can be relict upon to guard it with the same sleep less vigilauc-i. Tiiey hold iu preserva tion aljove jmrty fealty, and have ofttn dem-mst rated that partv tits avail nothing when the spotless credit of our countiy is threatened. The money of the United States anil every kind or form of it, whether of paper, silver or gold, must be a good as the best iu the world. It must not only be current at its full face value at home, but it must be counted at par in any and every commercial cei'tre of tbe gble. The sagacious and far-seeing policy of the great men who founded ur Govern ment; the teachings and acts of tl e wisest financiers at every stage in our history; the steadfast faith and splendid achievements of the great party to which we belong, and the genius and integrity of our people have alway-s de manded this, aud will ever maintain it. The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage-earner, and the pensioner mut continue forever equal in purchasing and debt-paying power to the dollar paid to any Government creditor. The contest this year will not 1 waged upon lines of theory and speca lation, lut in the light of severe practi cal experience and new and dearly-acquired knowledge. The great body of our citizens know what they want and what they intend to have. They know for what the Re publican party stands and what its re turn to power means to thorn. They realize that the Republican arty be helieves that our work should be done at home and not abroad, aud every where proclaim their devotion to the principles of a Protective Tariff, which while supplying adequate revenues for the Government, will restore Ameri can production and serve the best in terests of American labor and develop ment. Our appeal, therefore, is not to a false philosophy or vain theorists, but to the masses of the American people the plain, practical people whom Lincoln loved and trusted, aud whom the Re publican party has always faithfully striven to serve. The platform adopted by the Repul lican National Convention has received my careful consideration and has my unqualified approval. But you will aot expect me to discuss its provisions at length, or in any detail at this time. It will, however, be my duty and pleasure at some futurer Ly to make to you, and through you to the grea t party you represent, a more formal ac ceptance of the nomiuaiiou tendered me. No oue could Is; more profoundly grateful than I for the manifestations of public confidence of which you have so eloquently spoken. The generous expressions with which you, sir, convey the official notice of my nom ination are highly appreciated and as fully reciprocated, and I thank you and your associates of the Notification Committee and the great party and Convention at whose instance you conic for the high and exceptional dis tinction bestowed upon me. When the speakers concludtd, the visitors were presented individually to Governor and Mrs. McKinley, who shook each one by the hand, Hon. Mark A. JIanua presiding at the cere mony.

Mrs. Rhodie Noah, of this place, was taken in the night with cramping pains and the next day diarrhoea set iu. She took half a bottle of black berry cordial but got no relief. She then sent to me to see if I had any thing that would help her. I sent her a bottle of Chamberfain's Colic, Chol era and diarrhoea Remedy and the first dose relieved her. Auother of our neighbors had liecn sick for about a week and had tried different remedies for diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I sent him thb same remedy. Ouly four doses of it were required to cure him. He says he owes hb recovery to this wonderful remedy. -Mrs. Mary Sibley, Sidney, Mich. For sale "by IVnford's Pharmacy. His Cnp is Fall.
