LIFE SAVED
By the Persistent Use of
Ayer's
irsapan
"'I was troubled fo years with a
sore on my knee, which several
physicians, who treated me, called a
eancer, assuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
.Ayer's Sarsaparilla,, and, alter tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
began to disappear and my general
liealth improve, I persisted in this
treatment, until the soio was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
.Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally, as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it." Sirs. S. A.

Republican Clubs at Portland.
The gathering of representatives of
Republican clubs exceeds in number
ny previous gathering, and the chief
center of interest in Portland for the
week is this meeting. At 10 :15 Tuesday
morning the convention was called to
order at the New Park theater fey Preei
' dent Beekman. Every seat and availa
ble bit of. standing room in the body of
Jthe theater were occupied, and so were
many seats in the gallery, when the
vgavel thrice rapped on the president's
table. In less than five seconds' time
order reigned throughout the vast hall,
.and a view from the stage presented a
gathering of 1,300 or more faces. The
Polk county delegation brought with
them the celebrated Novello quartete
and other delegations were accompanied
by. sweet singers. The VWoodburn
' Quintette" was also present, Altogether
195 clubs were represented, and 1,147
delegates entitled to seats.
'She main object of the convention
"was for the election of officers to serve
for the ensuing year, and for the adop
tion of a new and more practical consti
tution to govern this organization. In
terest at The Dalles centers in who will
be elected officers for the ensuing term
and the choosing of delegates to tl e
national league convention to meet at
Milwaukee.
THE ELECTION.
3.
At the Republican meeting in Port
land Charley H. Carey was elected
president of the league for the ensuing
year. For vice-preBident Claude Gatch
was chosen. Mr. I.. A. McNary was
elected a member-at-large of the execu
tive committee, one of which are to
eerve from each congressional district.
For the first congressional district, J. A.
Wilson of Linn county was chosen. Ac
cording to the Oregonian of today the
business thus far had proceeded without
tiresome delay, but the fight over the
member from the second district dragged
out the length of the session. W. II.
Moore of Moro, Sherman county, was
the first candidate placed in nomination
by Mr. J. C. Burkes, who in a ringing
speech set forth Mr. Moore's many
. qualifications that 'entitled him to
to a place on, the committee. E. M.
Van Slyck, of Baker, was placed in
nomination by C. A. Johns, and B. F.
Laughlin of The Dalles was nominated
by W. H. Wilson, J. B. Eddy, William
Holder aud J. C. Leasure vigorously
seconded the nomination of Mr. Moore,
while Pierce Mays spoke earnestly for
Laughhn as the choice of the second
congressional district. Van Slyck's sup
port was apparently very slight, and the
selection seemed to lie between Moore
And Laughlin. In the balloting, Van
Slyck dropped ont of the race early in
the roll call, and for a time the voting
seemed to be about equally divided be
tween the other two candidates. Gradu-
ally j however, Moore ' began forging
ahead on the tally sheet, and each de
cisive ballot, cast -was the signal for
-cheering. ...
"James G. Blaine Club, 36 votes,"
7t-
AVER'S
read the secretary from the roll-call.
"Thirty eix votes for Moore," an
swered the chairman of the club delega
tion amidst great applause.
Every one knew that Moore bad been
elected, though, long before the secre
tary announced the official reeult. The
ballot resulted in Moore receiving 334
votes, Laughlin 260 votes and Van Slyck
64 votes. .
The next order of business the election
of six delegates-at-large and four from
each congressional district, to attend the
meeting of the National Republican
League, at Milwaukee, Wis., in June,
and that nominations would be in
order.
Er-Senator J. N. Dolph, in a brief
speech, nominated M. ,C. George for
delegate-at-large; Judge Thomas A. Mc
Bride, of Oregon City, was nominated
by George Brownell, George W. Patter
son, of Washington county, by Thomas
Tongue; J. M. Long, of Portland, by
Judge Cleland ; A.W. Gowan, ot Harney
county, and James A. Fee, of Umatilla
county, by J. C. Leasure. It was then
moved that the nominations for the delegates-at-large
be closed, and, upon
motion, their election was made unani
mous. The four delegates from the first con
gressional district placed in nomination
were R. A. Booth, of Josephine county;
I. L. Patterson, of Marion county; J.H.
Hawley, of Polk county, and J. A. Blun
dell, of Douglas county. This election
was made unanimous.
Judge J. C. Moreland bad a surprise
in store for the delegates of the second
congressional district, for no sooner had
the president announced that nomina
tions would be in order, than he sprang
to his feet and began reeling off a list of
candidates. The men nominated by
Mr. Moreland were John Michell of
Wasco county ; J. M. Church of Union
county ; W. C. Avery of Multnomah
county, and F. J. Taylor of Clatsop
county. A good-natuted laugh broke
out among the delegates as Moreland
finished his list, and then some one
promptly proposed that the nomina
tions be closed. There was a little op
position to this, but it manifested no
strength in the vote, and the nominees
were accordingly declared the delegates
of the second district. "
Before the convention adjourned it was
moved and carried that the league tec
commend to the executive committee
the re-election of H. L. Wells as secre
tary. Resolutions were alBO passed ex
tending the thanks of the convention to
B. B. Beekman, the retiring president,
and to the Monmouth, Woodburn,
Multonomah and Social quartettes for
their singing during the session. Presi
dent Carey then announced that there
was no father business before the con
vention, and that speechmaking would
be in order. But the convention was
already beginning to thin out, and Mi.
Dodd'e motion to adjourn was carried..
Considerable etir was occasioned by
action of an excited individual, who
made his way to the platform as the del
gates were filing out, and called out, "All
who are in favor of John H. Mitchell for
the next senator from Oregon say 'aye.' "
He failed, however, to draw forth any
buret of enthusiasm- from the rapidly
vanishing delegates.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been tbe
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other 'sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were . all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding tbe entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Aver's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is not a patent
medicine. It - does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."

"When my. children have croup there is

It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market." If this
