'Truth above at! things.’ Entered in the Post Office as a Newspaper FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1896. The State Elections of l896. Two of the States have already held their ice ll elections for the present year. On the let of April Rhode Island elected State officers and Legislators, and theRepublican ticket was success- in] by an overwhelming majority. On the 6th of June Oregon elected State officers and Congressmen. The Repub- lican State ticket was successful, but there were close contests for Congress in both districts between the Republi- cans and Populists. The next State election to be held, and one that will be important as a finger-board of public sentiment in the South, will be in Alabami on the 31 of August. A Governor and all other important State officers are to be chosen, and a Legislature that will select a U rited States Senator. There is littla time for a contest in that State, and it is quite probable that the Demo- cratic candidate for deernor, who is a free silver-ite of the Bryan school, may be elected. If there were time for organization of the Republicans and sound money men of the State, the Repudiationists could be defeated at the August election, and such a defeat would knock the bottom out of the whole repudiation outfit. On the 1~t of September Vermont will elect State officers and Legislators. Vermont has been regarded as some' what ofa Presidential finger-board in the increased or diminished majority it gives for the Republican ticket. It is quite likely that the Republican mej )ri- ty of this year will be larger than ever before in the history of the State. The next election Will be held in Ar- kansas on the 7th of September for State ofldaers. There is practically no sound rro‘iey Democratic organization in the State, but there are many sound money Democrave who are likely this year to vote the Rpubiican ticket. The probabilities are that the Demr- cratic~1tepublican m jority may not be materially reduced. On the 14h of September the election or State officers. Legfs'ators, Congress- men, etc . will be held in Maine, and he vote of the State will be looked t..- with unusual interest as the Demo- cratic-Republican candidate for Vice President resides there. Maine stig- gered under the greeback craze, and it is claimed that the free silver heresy has attained a considerable footing there, but the chances are that the sound money Democrats will give many more votes to the Republicans than the Repudiationists can gain by cheap money Republicans. Florida will elect State officers and a Legislature on the 6th of October, and Georgia will elect like oflicers on the followng day, October 7. By that time the lines will by distinctly shaped, and the popular verdicts of Florida and Georgia will be regarded as foreshad- owing the settled drift of public senti- ment in the South. After the 7th of October there will be no further elections held until the 3d of November, when all the States of the Union will vote for President, and most of them for State oflicers and Congressmen. .- T'ne Bepudiationists United. Let no patriotic citizen imagine that the Repudiationist of the country will be divided in the coming contest. They will be united from Maine to California ' and from the Northern Lakes to the Southern gulf. They embrace in their Variegated ranks every shade of re- pudiationist, agrarians, socialists and anarch 8‘0, and they will have hun- dreds of thousands of well-meaning voters to follow the Democratic fllg, regardless of the revolutionary prin- iplcs emblaz med on it. Two national conventions will be held in St. Louis next week. On the 22d instant the Popular national con~ vention will meet there, and on the same day the National Silver party will hold its national council, and both will present platforms and candidates. There is now no reason to doubt that both of these conventions Wlll accept the candidates of the Chicago conven-l tion, as the platform of that party could not be more radically Populistic. Agreeing entirely in faith with the Chicago convention, the Populist and Silver/conventions to meet in St. Lou's nrxt week, can have no exru'e for re- fusing to accept the Chicago nominees. Even if the St. Louis‘ convention should not formally nominate Bryan and Sewall for President and Vice President, the repudiation vote of the country will be thoroughly united on an electoral ticket in every State of the Union. We do not look for any division be- tween these three Repudiation organ- izations as to candidates, but should they present separate tickets they .will surely unite on an electoral ticket in orery State, and thus poll the full strength of the repudiation sentiment of the country for any candidate for President who could come within range of success in the Electoral College. The lines between the friends of honest money and the maintenance of public and private credit will thus be distinctly drawn by the united action of the Repudiationists at the polls. There will be Democrats, Republicans and Populists earnestly united to over- .hriw the honor of the Republic, and this deadly assault made upon the very life of the nation calls for like united action by all patriotic citizens, regard- less of their politicrl afliliations. The question of maintaining a sound financial system is absolutely para- mount to every other issue of national policy, and it must be met as people of every faith would unite to confront a pestilence that threatened their homes. The Repudiationists will be united 'n solid column; the patriotic people of the country must unite with equal earnestness to save the honor of the great Republic of the world. .0.

It shows its powers as a blood purifier and radical cure for scrofula, by removing the cause, thus curing the Sore eyes and restoring all the affected parts to healthy condition. Read this: “As an act of justice and for the ben- efit of other mothers who may have afflicted children, I write this. About the first of February, 1892, my daughter Zola, then three years 'old, contracted sore eyes of the worst form and in a few weeks was entirely blind, being unable to tol- erate light of any kind. She suffered and cried until I was almost heartbroken. The best eye specialist in the county treated her for months, but the es became worse. Then I took her to a special- ist in Indianapolis, who said he could do nothing. I came away with a heavy heart. I met my faLher’s physician, Dr. Berry- n, who examined Zola’s eyes, and told me to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I began to give it as directed and wash her eyes with warm water. Soon I began to notice improvement, and now, having given the child over a half dozen bottles, her eyes are greatly improved and she can see as Well as any one. She is five years of age, 536 goes to school. When she began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, she had to eat her meals in a darkened room, but now u rad she is able to sit at the table with the rest of the family.” Mns. OLLIE BUSER, Colfax, Indiana.
