The advertising nates in the Star is very 1 high and Hawkins wasn’t getting very much in return. The Baltimore Sun has espoused Taft's cause. We notice that this is . hailed in Repuoican papers as likey to carry Maryland for the Republicans.” We doubt it, for several reasons. First, a paper “carries” less than prejudice supposes, and particularly in these modern days, where there is more than one paper. There •was probably never in any country a more brilliant company of newspapers than those that espoused the Liberal cause in 1872. Not to mention the small ones, there was the New York Tribune, whose editor, Horace Greeley the mainstay of the Republican press, was the candidate himself. There was the Chicago Tribune, Stilted then by the briliant Horace White; the Cincinnati Commercial, with Murat Halstead at its head, then in the hey dey of his powers, and the Louisville Courier-Journal, with Mr. Watterson. Last and greatest of all in journalistic power, was the Springfield Republican with Samuel Bowles. On the other side was Grant and the charges of corruption that so soon were to find “confirmation strong as proofs from Holy Writ.” What followed >s a matter of history.—lndianapolis News. Judge Alton B. Parker, in a speech before a large audience in Los Angeles last week, paid this tribute to Bryan and Kern: ‘‘We have at the head of the Democratic ticket two men of character well known, one of whom is especially well known, and who, in season and out, has fought against the relations between government and corrupt corporations. And with him is associated a man whom I have known personally since 1895, and who in my judgment, is in every way worthy of his associate and who in case of emergency of any kind should arise, which God frobid, would be in pc "tlon to take up the standard and carry it on.” This reference to the candidates was

DIARRHOEA There is no need of anyone suffering long with this disease, for to effect a quick cure it is only necessary to take a few doses of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient. It never fails and can be relied upon in the most severe and dangerous cases. It is equally valuable for children and is the means of saving the lives of many children each year. In the world’s history no medicine has ever met with greater success. PRICE 255.

received with great cheering. In a previous interview in the same city Judge Parker had said: “The Democratic party must win. It has the winning cause, the winning platform and the winning men. It presents to the enemy a united front. The Democrats are alive and very much alive. Their position is defined with great clearness and excellence in the platform of the national convention. I hope every Democrat lhas committed that platform to heart, and if we can persuade the Republican voters to read it—well, they won’t remain Republican voters. The Republican platform is a thing of shreds and patches. It is cobbled work and fiimsily cobbled at that.” | ■' IB 1 DIED IN ASYLUM: _ ( Mrs. Fred Hostetter, of this < County in East Haven Hospital j - I BE BURIED SUNDAY ' i Funeral Will Be Held at Vera Cruz at Ten O’Clock I Sunday Morning Mrs. Fred Hostetter died yesterday at Richmond in Easthaven hospital where she had been for the past three years.

She was found frozen stiff by section hands on the railroad and although she was resusticated and apparently grew better, she became violent, and persisted in running away. He radmission followed to Richmond, and with tier death the last chapter in a saddened life is ended. —Bluffton Banner. Mrs. Hostetter is known by many Decatur people who will regret to learn of Iter demise. o THE DEATH ANGEL Visited the Home of Mr. and Mrs. William Bunner LATE LAST NIGHT !
