The democratic national convention will soon be a reality, and it is now time for the individual members of that party to discard their favorites, and to get ready to shout long and loud for the standard-bearers whoever they may be. We do not mean by this that we fail to appreciate the independence that characterizes the sturdy democracy. Far from it. But we do mean that of all those that have been mentioned as candidates for the presidency, there is not one whom the party can not freely and conscienciously support. We would not give a snap for the democrat who has no personal preference, but that personal preference should not over shadow the wisdom of a national convention. With every democrat determined to vote the democratic ticket, a victory awaits the nominees of the St. Louis convention. It is in the air. The people are actually suffering for a change of national administration diet. They want a little democratic simplicity on the bill of fare at the white house. They want to resent the high handed insults registered against the great generals of our army and naw. They want stability, consetvatism and common sense in the guiding hand of this great nation They want all the rascals punished instead of making examples of a few.' and they so old they may die before election day. The list embraces one i thousand and one allegations and a good case can be made on each and • everyone of them. The people do not want Theodore Roosevelt to lie president after next March, and the. case rests entirely with the democrats I and the democratic partv to prevent it. A good reasonable platform and the nomination of a good reasonable candidate, and he supported by the democrats, success is assured. Right now is a good time for every democrat to seek his prayer closet, and there upon his marrow bones pledge the best efforts of his life to the sacred ness of the democratic cause. The Hon. John W. Kern boom is still oiled and gives greater promise than ever of stampeding the democratic convention. John R. McLean, the owner and Washington editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, is for the nomination of Grover Cleveland for president. One reason ’assigned is that it would insure the appointment of all the enemies of McLean to office. There is modesty for you.

We want to commend the speech made by Congressman James M. Robinson in accepting a fifth nomination at the hands of the Twelfth District Democrats. It is a speech which will make a good campaign document. It is filled with facts and good sense plain, everyday, old fashioned good sense. He tells us, among other things, that when Amer ican goods can be manufactured here and sold abroad cheaper than foreign goods under the favor of a sheltering tariff the government receives no revenue from such products. And he is right. It must be apparent to every one that tariff rates which are so high as to be prohibitive of foreign competition and which thereby give the trusts absolute control of the home markets on their own terms, can yield no revenue to the government. At the same time, however, the people are paying a tax whith goes into the coffers of the trusts —a tax which enables them to sell their goods cheaper abroad than they sell them at home. WAS POSTPONED Union Chapel Social Will be Given Saturday Evening. Owing to the heavy rain Saturday evening the lawn social to be given at the home of J. S.

WHY THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. PUSH IT. The Holthouse Drug; Co. Recommend and Push Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy. “It’s a pleasure to sell a medicine when our customers come in afterwards and tell how much good it has done them,” said The Holthouse Drug Co. the popular druggists, to a Democrat man, “and that is why we like to sell and recommend Mi-o-ua, the dyspedsia remedy. “We have so much faith in this artide that we are going th gs irantee it in the future, and will return the money to any purchaser of Mi-o-na whom it does not cure. That may seem rash, but our customers have I said so many good words in its favor that we do not expect to have many packages returned. “Anyone who has dyspepsia, whsse food does not digest well, who has to take thought as to what he can eat, and when, can leave 50 cents deposit at our store and take home a box of i Mi-o-na, and if the remedy does not I regulate his digestion and cure his dyspepsia, he can withdraw his money on return of the empty box. This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-o na. It is really a most uu- I usual medicine and the rapid increase in sales since The Holthouse Drug Co. introduced it in Decatur shows that it does all thatjit does all that it claims to do, cures dyspepsia, regu- | fates digestion and enables those who use it to eat just what thevjwant with no fear os trouble.
