(Special Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg, July 17.—With the for
mal notification of the candidates for
president and vice president of the
action of the national convention, the
Republican campaign can be fairly
said to be now under way. Through
out Pennsylvania there is a feeling of
fonfldence in the outcome of the cam
paign and every Republican looks for
a glorious victory at the polls in No
vember.
Hut battles must be fought to be
won. No political campaign, no mat
ter how rosy the outlook may have
been at the beginning, was ever suc
cessful without diligent and hard work
and constant and due regard for the
determination of the opposition to take
advantage of every opportunity that
would be presented in the course of
the canvass.
Pennsylvania, of course, is safely Re
publican this year, but the matter of
organizing for the contest and lining
up the active party workers for their
duties both before and on election day
must be pushed with the same vigor
and close attention to detail that has
characterized the management of the
Republican organization of the Key
stone state for years.
ORGANIZATION IS NECESSARY.
Pennsylvania's great Republican ma
jorities are only obtained through sys
tematic, careful and untiring labor in
drilling the army of committeemen
upon whose shoulders the responsibil
ity of the party organization in their
respective localities rests and in edu
cating the voters, and especially' the
young men who propose to cast their
first ballot, as to the issues involved in
the election.
President McKinley, in a very com
prehensive and thorough address in
reply to the committee on notification,
presented the salient points of the Re
publican canvass in characteristic
style.
M'KINLEY AND HIS RECORD.
The president has a happy faculty of
stating a case with moderation, but
with convincing force. His review of
the last three and a half years was a
model in this direction. It showed how
the pledges of 1896 have been redeem
ed. how the gold standard was safe
guarded. how the promised tariff re
vision was made, as the people ex
pected when they returned the Repub
licans to power, how prosperity has
been restored and the credit of the
country established at the highest
point in its history, where it is able
to fund the debt at a lower interest
rate than any other country. In in
ternal affairs the administration has
discharged its duties. It has main
tained the honor of the country abroad,
and in the difficult crisis which grew
unforseen out of the Spanish war has
faithfully guarded American interests.
As is always the case where events
force new policies,differencesofopinion
arise, and opponents of any new step
at once foresee the downfall of the re
public. But if prosperity, redeemed
pledges, bright prospects at home and
abroad, have any weight with voters,
there can be no question of Republican
success and the re-election of President
McKinley to carry out the policy he so
ably expounds.
While the president was responding
to the committee from the national
convention at Canton. 0., Governor
Roosevelt was receiving formal infor
mation of his selection for the second
place on the ticket at Oyster Bay, N.
Y. His reply was brief, and in becom
ing taste he left his chief to make the
significant utterance of the day. What
he did say, however, was timely and
true. This is more than a party con
test. It is a contest against cheap
money and repudiation, free riot and
anarchy, the packing of the supreme
court in the interest of wild Populist
schemes of government, just as it was
in 1896. It is also a contest against
entrusting the foreign affairs of this
nation to irresponsible fanatics who
complain because we have performed
our obligations of neutrality in South
Africa, who would play at diplomacy
as recklessly as with the currency, who
would shirk our obligations toward
other countries in our own possessions
and disgiace us before the world. Gov
ernor Roosevelt has a right to appeal
to all citizens "to stand shoulder to
shoulder, striving to perpetuate the
conditions under which we have reach
ed at home a degree of prosperity
never before attained in the nation's
history, and under which abroad it
has put our flag on a level on which
it has never before in the history of
tho country been placed."
BRYAN STILL AT IT.
Meanwhile Bryan continues to talk
away to the Democrats, free silveriteg
and Populists who gather at Lincoln,
Neb. His speeches have fallen very
flat.
Bryan says the country is not pros
perous except in spots. Here are some
facts which he can explain, perhaps.
The total gross earnings of railroads
were $238,u00,000 larger in the past
year than in 1895. Railroads mako
their money out of the industries of the
mass of the people. Consequently the
people had $238,000,000 more to spend
In the third McKinley year than in the
third year of Cleveland.
In the third year of the Cleveland
administration bank deposits stood at
$852,604,858. At the end of McKinley's
third year they amounted to $1,270,776,-
065. The people had $418,161,207 more
to their credit after three years of Mc-
Kinley than they had at the end of the
Cleveland administration. The increase
of bank deposits during President
Cleveland's term was only $70,000,000.
The Wilson tariff was in force 35
months, and the total deficit was SIOB,-
000,000. In 32 months the Dingley tar
iff produced a surplus of $46,000,000.
At the .--'me our foreign export trade
h: "* : .ted up by leaps and bounds,
tl i:.'. use of the past year alone be
ing $300,000,000 above the total for
the previous year.
SOME HOME FIGURES.
A Nebraska corn-fed steer Is worth
sl2 to sl6 more than in 1896, and hogs
bring $4.50 a head more. Sheep are
worth nearly double the 1896 price,
and Wyoming wool has increased 50
per cent.
Meanwhile American credit at home
and abroad stands higher than the
credit of any other nation —a condi
tion not so happily true in 1893-96.
Of course the millenium is not here,
and there is still poverty and hardship
in the world. The Republican party
does not make the sun shine nor cause
the rains to fall. But times have grown
better, the people are better employed
and the products of toil bring better
prices.
If these good things do not indicate
prosperity —a prosperity that shames
the troublous Cleveland times —will
Mr. Bryan please tell us in what shape
we might hope the benefits of sound
principles and polices of government
to exhibit themselves?
Gen. Miles Will Attend.
Governor Stone has received a letter
from Lieutenant-General Miles, com
manding the army of the United States,
that he would attend the encampment
of the Pennsylvania National Guard at
Mt. Gretna next month.
Rabbits Will be Plentiful.
The indications are that there will be
an abundance of rabbits and other
species of game the coming hunting sea
sot). At the present time the woods are
thick with young rabbits. The season
thus far has been entirely favorable to
their breeding.

Take care of the stomach and the
health will take care of itself. If peo
ple only realized the soundness of that
statement the majority might live to a
good old age like Moses, "the eye undim
ined, the natural force unabated." It
is in the stomach that the blood is made.
It is from the stomach that nourishment
is dispensed to nerve and muscle. It the
stomach is "weak" it can t do its whole
work for each part of the body If it is
diseased the disease will taint the nour
ishment which is distributed, and so
spread disease throughout the body. It
was the realization of the importance of
the stomach as the very center of health
and the common source of disease, which
led Dr. Pierre to prepare his "Golden
Medical Discovery." Diseases which
originate in the stomach must l>e cured
through the stomach. The soundness of
this theory is proved every day by cures
of diseased organs, heart, liver, lungs,
blood, —by the use of the "Discoverp"
which is solelp and singly a medicine for
the blood and organs of digestion and
nutrition. It is a temperanco medicine
containing no alcohol, whisky or other
intoxicant.
Largest in State Guard's History.
The coming division encampment of
the National Guard of Pennsylvania, to
be held at Ml. Gretna, from August 4 to
the 11, will be the largest in the history
of the State guard, and it will be especi
ally important, in that it will be the first
lield practice with the three battalion
formation.
The work of shipping the equipment
from the State Arsenal, at Harrisburg
has been commenced. It will require
live or six days to transfer the tents and
other material to the ground.
Ten thousand live hundred men will
go under canvas this year. In years
gone by fhe total number did not ex
ceed 8,500, the addition being made by
the new formation of the guard. The
Third Brigade of which the Twelfth regi
ment is a part, will occupy the land near
est to Gretna Park Station.

The Electric Fans.
It is expected that the improvments
which have been made to the machinery
at the Standard Electric Light com
pany's plant during the past few months
will, in a day or two, be in such shape
as lo allow the running of Electric fans
during the afternoon. This will be good
news to those who have placed the fans
in their residences and business places.
The gospel of revenge is preached now,
and the sooner the better. It is uh.iul
time to stop temporizing with China,and
to do a little blood letting. The stories
that come from Pekin have set this coun
try wild, but the clamor for revenge will
be tierce when the details begin to be
published. They will simply craze the
people of the United Slates.
What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease pre
vails in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated be
fore we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is.
Fiist, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain
in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, fre
quent. d sire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine be
ing copious or scant with st.ioiig odor.
If allotted to advan-e, litis reaches 111 ■ •
Second st«ge, or ISladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel ami the water pass
age, increasing desire to urinate, with
scalding sensation in passing,small ipian
tities being passed with difficulty, some
times necessary to draw it with instru
ments. If uric acid or yravel has funn
ed, it will prove datmerotis if neglected.
The Third stage is l.right's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy fam
ous for its marvelous cures of the most
distressing cases ami known as Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root.
It is sold by all druggists.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well, brings success,
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney ill.
Here is Danville evidence to prove it:
Mr. John Lewis of Mill street, says:
"I was not well for a longtime. When
working, my back became so lame and
pained me and after getting home at
night 1 could hardly straighten. Head
aches and weariness disinclined me for
anything, and in addition I was troubl
ed with indigestion. I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and as my doctor's
medicines did me so little good, 1 got
them and found the most satisfactory
results from their use. They are the
only remedy which ever gave me per
manent relief."

man run down the street, and she
raised a loud cry of "stop thief." In
