HKNRY G. DAVIS.

Yog, the are out of ix>litics this year. They are also out of the penitentiary, at present writing. J. A. McFarland is making such a race in his candidacy that the boys are already calling him Sheriff McFarland. Don’t vote for a continuation of McCoy methods of conducting county and township affairs —vote for your own interests. Considerable of our space is taken up this week with the letters of acceptance of Hons. Alton B. Parker and Henry G. Davis, democratic nominees for the presidency and vice-presidency, respectively. But we take it all democrats want to read these letters and it will not hurt republicans to read them also. Pulaski county democrats nominated their county ticket last week by a primary election. The following named gentlemen were elected to grace the ticket: Recorder, Joseph M. Stipp; treasurer, Henry Weaver; sheriff, William Sanders; coroner, John J. Thomas; surveyer, George Pugh; commissioners, Fred Eckert, Andrew J. Baughman. The re-election of Nichols to the county treasurership means that the shortage occasioned by losses in the McCoy bank will be patched up and fixed up—if at all — at the convenience and leisure of the parties concerned. His defeat means a full and complete settlement of every dollar due the county at the expiration of his present term. It should not be bard for the taxpayers to determine which is the better for the public good.

The democrats have been particularly fortunate this year in the selection of candidates for public office in Jasper county. Headed by a good, clean, honest, able and responsible set of candidates on the county ticket, you may follow down the line of township candidates and an equally good showing is made—good, conservative business i men, men who will safeguard the people’s interests—heads every one of the various tickets. Carey L. Carr, the democratic candidate for county treasurer, is a well-to-do farmer, straight as a string, honest and upright in every wav. He is not a candidate of any bank, and has no strings tied to him in any manner. He can and will if elected fill a bond among the horny-handed farmers —the best and safest bond in the world. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t gamble, doesn’t speculate, and is a safe and careful man to be entrusted with the county funds. Mr. Taxpayer, for the next few weeks just ponder over what The Demociat in years gone by has been telling you about the management of our local affairs under republican ring rule. Think the the matter over carefully, consider well all the truths it has told you—also the falsehoods, if you can find any—then vote your local ticket 89 your conscience and better judgment tells you you should. If you do this, there will be a change for the better in our local government.

Some four or five years ago a petition for an investigation of the county records of Jasper county, signed by more than one thousand representative taxpayers of the county-—members of both political parties—was filed with the county commissioners, but was turned down. If an investigation could have had been made as to the condition of the McCoy bank several years ago perhaps there would not be hundreds of farmers, widows, orphans and working people to-day mourning the loss of all their money in that institution. The McCoys have run Jasper county and their bank also. Perhaps the former methods need investigation; at least it will do no harm to have it done. Elect a democratic board of commissioners next month and we’el guarantee that an honest and non-parti-san investigation of the county records will be made. If the McCoy management of county affairs has been as rotten as the management of their bank, you ought to know it and have things start out on a new, clean and honest basis.

$2.50 SENT FREE. The Well-Known Specialist, Franklin Miles, M- D.. LL- B , Will Send His Book and $2.50 Worth of His Personal Treatment Free to any Reader. There never was a better opportunity for persons suffering from diseases of the heart, nerves, liver, stomach and kidneys, to test, free, a remarkably successful Treatment for these disorders. Dr. Miles is known to be a leading specialist in these diseases and his liberal offer is certainly worthy of serious consideration by every afflicted reader. This opportunity may never occur again. His system of Personal Treatment is thoroughly scientific and immensely superior to other methods. It includes several new remedies carefully selected o suit each individual case and is the final result of twenty-five years of very extensive research and great success in treating these diseases. Each treatment consists of a curative elixir, tonic tablets, eliminating pills and usually a plaster. Extensive statistics clearly demonstrate that Dr. Miles Personal Treatment is at least three times as successful as the usual treatment of physicians or general remedies sold at the stores. Col. E. B. Spileman of the 9th United States Regulars, located at San Diego. Cal . says. "Dr. Miles' Special Treatment has worked wonders in my son’s case when all else failed. I had employed the best medical talent and had spent 52.000 in doing so. I believe he is a wonderful specialist. I consider it my duty to recommend him.’’ "For years 1 had severe trouble with my stomach, head, neuralgia, sinking spells and dropsy. Your treatment entirely cured me." Mr. Julius Keister, of 350 Michigan Avenue, Chicago, testifies that Dr. Miles cured him after ten able physicians had failed. Mrs. K. Trimmer of Greenspring, Pa., was cured after many physicians had pronounced her case “hopeless.” As all afflicted readers may have his Book and 53.50 worth of Treatment especially adapted to their case frf.e, we would advise them to send for it before it is too late. Address, Dr. Franklin G. Miles, 813 to 823 Main St., Elkhart, Ind. * Come to The Democrat office for all kinds of job printing.

LIVER TROUBLES

| "I find Thedford’s Block-Draught % J A good medicine for liver diseaae. It cured my son after he had apent f 100 with doctors. It is all the medicine I take.”—MßS. CAROLINE! MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. Vo. If your liver does not act regularly go to your druggist and secure a package of Thedford’s Black-Draught and take a dose tonight. This great family medicine frees the constipated bowels, stirs up the torpid liver and causes a healthy secretion of bile. Thedford’s Black - Draught will cleanse the bowels of impurities and strengthen the kidneys. A torpid liver invites colds, biliousness, chills and fever and all manner of sickness and contagion. Weak kidneys result in Bright’s disease which claims as many victims as consumption. A 25-cent package of Thedford’s BlackDraught should always be kept in the house. “I used Thedford’s BleckDrmurht for liver end kidney compUiou And found nothing to mmol COFFMAN, Marblehe&d. 111.
