Denounces Fraud in Illinois Party. Sullivan Says Bryan's State ments Are False. PARIS, Aug. 13. William J. Bryan to day gave out a statement concerning the controversy respecting the Illinois Demo cratic National committeeman. The con troversy has grown out of Mr. Bryan's letter demanding the resignation of Na tional Committeeman Roger Sullivan, to which demand Mr. Sullivan returned a prompt refusal, stating that Mr. Bryan had been misinformed respecting the situ ation by Mr. -Dunlap. Mr. Bryan s rejoinder says that no one but himself Is responsible for the infor mation and that he had intended to asK Mr. Sullivan to resign before he had seen Mr. DunlaD. Mr. Bryan added: "I entered Into this contest because I believed that Roger Sullivan and John HoDkins had deliberately robbed the Dem ocrata of Illinois of their political right and still believe that to secure political power by force or by fraud ought to be as disgraceful In the eyes of the public as to secure money Dy lorce or iraua. I cannot conceive of any plausible de fense which Mr. Sullivan can make for remaining on the National Committee. If the body is unable to rid Itself of the leadership of men like Sullivan, who seek to control .the party organization In order to advance their corporate Interests, It might as well dissolve. While I was anx ious to give Sullivan a chance to resign without a fight, it Is probably Just as well that he refused, for.

The annoying symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, "hawking and spitting," headaches, mucus dropping back into the throat, impairment to the senses of taste and smell, and a feeling of general debility, prove that there is a deep-seated cause for Catarrh. This cause is a polluted and unhealthy condition of the blood, and the disease cannot be cured until this is removed. The only way to get rid of Catarrh permanently is to purify the blood, and S. S. S. is the ideal remedy for this purpose. It soon clears the system of all impurities, purges the blood of all catarrhal matter and poisons, and effectually checks the progress of this disgusting and far-reaching disease. S. S. S. puts the blood in perfect order, and as this pure, healthy blood goes to every nook and corner of the body Catarrh is permanently cured.
