the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to a
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg

CONVENTION GALLED
Gold Standard Democrats to
Nominate a Ticket.
SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER
The New Party is the Nationa
Democratic Party.
Indianapolis, Aug. 8. The name of the
new party is tee national democratic
party. Its orgauizars call those support
ing the Chicago platform and ticket the
populist-democratic party. The national
convention of lha national democratio
party will be held in Indianapolis the
first week in September. There was un
nimity in the conference in the selection
of the name of national democratic party
and in determining to distinguish the
two parlies by referring to those sap
porting the Chicago platform as the pop
uusi democratic party. There was no
reference before the provisional commit
tee at which it was decided to call the
convention and nominate another nation
al ticket. Some of the Eastern and
Southern members oppoaed a third ticket
at nrst, but wnen tney were told that In
the Middle States party fealty was so re'
garded that many democrats would not
vote unless there was a third ticket, then
all objections from the East and South
were withdrawn and the decision to hold
a convention was unanimous. It was ar
gued that as the campaign proceeded and
the republicans began to say harsh things
of the democrats, many of the latter
would vote for Bryan and Bewail, dis
tastelul as the Chicago platform was to
them. As the Eastern and Southern
gold standard men eald they were for
anything that would defeat the Chicago
ucKetand piatiorm, they readily consent'
ed to the plan here outlined by the ox
ecutive committee. The stronnest op
position to a third party - came from
Rhode Island and Texas, the smallest
end the largest state in the Union. Thev
were given the fullest consideration be
cause of the desire for unanimous action,
which was nnally secured.
The telegram from President Cleve
land was Vegarded by all as indicating
nis sympathy with the movement.
Every mention of the president's name
was loudly cheered. His portrait was
the center piece in the assembly room
The call of the states showed 35 states
represented by committeemen present.
uregon was represented by O. E. 8.
Wood of Portland, and Washington bv
Ira Krutz of North Yrkima.
The Kentucky delegation asked for the
convention at Louisville, but Indian
apolis showed a guaranteed fund of $10,
000 for all expenses, and the guarantee
in this case was made to a body of busi
ness men who very duly appreciated the
best bid. There was an objection from
all to holding the convention in any city
tn which a national convention had been
held before. .
At the evening session ' Senator John
M. Palmer of Illinois was .'unanimously
choBen chairman of the national com
mittee.
BRYAN AT CANTON.
A High Compliment Paid to McKinley,
Who Is Cheered to the Echo.
Canton, O., Aug. 10. The Bryan re
ception committee rom Pittsburg, com
posed ot about bU prominent democrats
of that city, headed by County Chairman
Holey, arrived at Uanton today and end
ing that tbey had nearly two hours to
wan beloro the Bryan train arrived, de
cided to call upon Major McKinley.
Morris Forster acted as spokesman. He
eaid be believed any candidate for the
presidepcy was worthy the highest re
spect of every one, regardless of political
affiliations. In response, McKinley
said :
"I am deeply erateful to receive this
friendly visit from the Bryan reception
committee. Although we are of differ
ent political belief, we are, as American
citizens, proud of our country and be
lieve in common that we have.now, : and
will continue to have in the future, the
best government in the world.. I sincere
ly thank you, gentlemen, for this visit
and assure you that it gives me great
pleasure."
At the conclusion ot the brief address
McKinley greeted each member of the de
legation tn person.
When the Pennsylvania tram nulled
into Canton, bringing Bryan, thousands
were at the depot to cheer their fellow
townsman's opponent in this campaign.
Special trains brought delegations from
all over southeastern Ohio.
Allen Cook, the local populist leader,
escorted Bryan to a flat car. After the
applause iiad subsided Mayor Kice pre
sented Bryan, who raid;
"I am glad in this city, the home of my
distinguished opponent, to testify to bis
character and personal worth (tremend
ous cheering for McKinley). I shall be
satisfied if as private individual 1 may
be able to stand beside him in public
esteem, bat, friends this is not a contest
between persona. It matters little to the
American people w pettier your distin
guished townsman or myself as indivi
duals occupy the chief executive posi-
I tion of the greatest nation upon earth,
bnt it does matter lor what policy tne
president shall stand, and in this cam
paign persons are lost sight of in the in
terests of the cause which these persons
represent
WATSON AND SEWALL.
A Rumor That They Will Both Give
Way to Sibley.
Pittsburg, Ana. 11. J. Ed. Leslie,
state chairman of the people's party, and
tbe head of the popnlis's of this state,
aays that the national leaders bad a
scheme to dump both Sewall and Watson.
Joseph C. Sibley, former congressman
from Pennsylvania, who refused the vice
presidential nomination at Chicago, will
be agreed upon as a second place com
promise. He bas now made op his
mind to accept and his name may be
placed on the ticket.
Mr. Leslie is in communication with
the loaders of the party. He says they
have azreed on this scheme and are
negotiating with the friends of Sawall
and Watson to carry it oat. f (
The proposition was first ciRde to
National Chairman Jones. The select irn
of Sibley will be made by the fx' it'.ve
Ciim riiltee of both rartiea. - Wg!' iA ia
said to le willing to qoit, bo tsalit
ia astertcd, refuses to step aid.. Leslie
rays Jones thinks well of tbe deal and
is doing all he can to push it through.
Tbe populists have guaranteed that if
Sewall quits Watson will do likewise.
It is claimed that Jerry Sim peon.
Lafe Pence and other leaders who secured
Bryan's endorsement will readily come
to ths support of Sibley. Tbe latter,
Lieslie says, bas regretted declining JJh
nomination atUhicago. JW l a?sUiie
matter will be settled before .wuat 12.
MR. BRYAN AS A PLAIN CITIZEN
As far as Possible Wjj Is an Inveterate
nomeiteeper.
He is an inveterate homekecper, and
when unablo to stay at Lincoln with his
wife, usually takes her with him . upon
his political expeditions, says the Re
view of Reviews. For the rest he is a
man of magnificent physique, the fruit of
early farm work and constant practice of
athletic sports. His face shows in its
high forehead intellect; iu its eyes kind
liness; in tbe closely set mouth and
prominent . chin, determination. In
dress, he is unassuming ; in manner
genial without lack of dignity. Believing
in himself, he respects himself without
egotism than is natural for a man who
has succeeded in great things. But even
more than in himself he believes in the
common people-, in the farmers, whom
he thinks victims of a cruel wrong and
who, he expects beyond a shadow of a
doubt, will join him in righting it.
uis campaign will be in tbe main an
agrarian one, and his administration
should he be elected, will be one of more
simplicity than the capital has seen since
Jefferson rode into town and tied his
horse to the fence palings.
PENNOYER IS MAYOR.
He Can Attend to His Business
Others May Attend to Theirs.
and
Portland, Aug. 8 Several days ago the
representatives of the various insurance
companies doing business in Portland ad
dressed a communication to Mayor Pen
noper and the board of Sre commissioners
protesting against any further. removals
in the fire department except for good
and sufficient cause. This is the way
tbe mayor answered them :
I want to say that in removing Com
missioner ' Wessmger, a man opposing
the party that elected me, I have followed
the uniform precedent of the country.
and at this time when the issue is fairly
between the British and the American
financial policies, I don't propose to ap
point any one supporting the British
system.
"In regard to the communication of tbe
insurance men to myself and the board
of commissioners, speaking for myself, I
will say, that I can attend to my business
without thetr interference and tbey may
attend to their buisness without my ia
terference."

All those in favor of. sound money and
desirous of getting an honest dollar for

not be compulsory for the men to sub

Dropping Into the Earth.
Mansfield, Mo., Aug, 10 The people
throughout this section of the country
are becoming much alarmed over what
appears to be the gradual sinking of t he-
earth in certain localities. It has been
little more than a year since a whole
field fell an average of a little more than
two ieet. within tbe last two weeks tbe
ground has become very dry from want
of moistare, and as a result crevices,
some of which are a foot wide, have ap
peared in the earth. Eight miles south
of here in Douglas county there is a verv
noticeable depression of several inches
covering more than a section of land.
Another evidence of this inexplicable
phenomena occurred in Texas county s
day or two ago, when a sudden sagging of
the earth swallowed up a horse while
hitched to a plow, and it was with diffl-
ulty that the driver saved himself.
These strange occurrences seem to come
periodically with certain seasons and,
although tbey have been the subject of
investigation for scientific purposes,
nobody is able to advance a reasonable
theory for the existence of such a state ol
things. The negroes have become so
wrought up over the matter that many of
them are leaving the country. Tbey de
clare that it is an indication of the early
arrival of the judgment day.

A Song of Death to Tyrants
Coupled with a Lullaby.
St. Anthony, Idaho., August 3, 1890.
To the Editor. "Congress shall have
tbe power and authority to coin money,
regulate tbe value thereof, and of foreign
coin, and fix the standards of weights
and measure." Constitution of tbe
United States
Who Bhall have the power and author
ity to coin money and to regulate its
value? Does it say international com
mission? Does it say a United States
commission? No. Nothing of the kind.
Congress Bhall have the power.
There is no such a thing contemplated
as the delegation of tbe power for the
creation of. or tbe fixing of the value of
money to "international agreement," or
to a commission or power of any kind ex
cept congress. No other power or auth
ority is recognized higher than that of
tbe constitution and the constitution
says congress shall have tbe power.
The constitution of the United States
repudiates, any other power from creating
money and fixing its value.
What think you of an American
political party that aruues that the exist
ing gold standard must bo maintained
until an international agreement will
permit the better system of a double
standard? Is such a declaration iu line
with the true spirit of independence and
liberty? Can a citizen of the United
States be as good an American citizen,
and have a more exalted conception of
of the Declaration of Independence by
subscribing to a creed, a new creed if
you pleaRe, that this government muBt
need await the consentof an automation
al agreement for something better than
now exists? Is such a spirit of obedi
ence to the mandates of a ficticious
international power or legislature calcu
lated to develop the highest order of
independent citizenship? I leave this to
the reader to answer. . . s .
Jn truth, when before has a ereat
political pa ty in the United
recognized tbe impoteocy of this nation
'o adopt and maintain better systems
without the consent of international
agreement? My American friend, not
until tho republican party departed from
a sacred tenant of its faith and declared
at St. Louis on June 18, 1896, that tho
existing gold standard : must be main
tained until by international agreement
bi-metaliism could be established. If
that is not an admission of impotency
and a direct thrust at the constitutional
rights of freemen. I am not canablo of
judging the meading of English language.
Ana we nave the authority of Mr. Mc
Kinley 'a stenographer, that Mr. McKin
ley drafted that portion of the platform
himself. It will not do to sav that Mr.
McKinley does not stand uo eauarelv for
tbat expression of impotency.
In 1776 there were many who, while
believing that the every sentiment ex
pressed in the Declaration of Independ
ence was right, and just, believed tbat it
would not do to battle for it men who
said, "Let's wait a little longer," and
men who no doubt argued that the op
pressors of the people would yet consent
to more liberty and ueedom than they
then enjoyed. Then (here were those
who, in the campaign are typified by the
out-and-out gold-bug, eaid the oppressions
of King George were right and that as
they were not injured, they had no
grievance iu common with those who
complained. I imagine then, as now,
the patriots who were struggling for
liberty and for a better order of thio,
were called by the tones and their
American sympathizers, ' 'revolutionists,"
"anarchists," "insolent dogs," "crazy
fanatics," and other choice adjoctites,
the same as are now leveled at those
who are laboring for the overthrow of tbe
declatorial moneocracy and its servant,
the single gold standard. Then, es now,
there were many who honestly differed
as to tho expediency of giving to the
world bo radical a document as the
Declaration of Independence, but when j
tbe battle came on tbe majority wavered I
no longer.
The battle against the existing goid
standard ia on, and there can be no
question under which banner those who
are against it will battle.
Had James G. Blaine been alive and
still a ruling spirit in the counsels of the
republican party, no such an advertise

Ha was a staunch bi-metallist.
The un-American policy pursued by
Grover UlHVwInnd's adminiatration t
onco filled Iho n indj of th people with
distrust and condemnation, which is
continued toJay, yet tho nnpieu9ing
spectacle is witnessed in the republican
party condemning in one breath that
administration and in another adopting
and confirming that very policy which
caused it to condemn Jn - Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland is an honest gold bug,
all give him credit for that, yet Mr. Mc
Kinley is no less'comoiitted, aye, he will
be pledged if elected, ; to continue a
system that he has iu the past condemn
ed. Cleveland believes the gold stand
ard to be tho right thing, and with a
perseverance deserving of a better cause
has sought to enforce it by all tbe power
at his command. Mr. McKinley occupies
a position lees honest. He admits tbe
single gold standard is not tbe best, and
that it will only be maintained until an
impossible international congress will
consent to a better standard. Yes, im
possible until England, the great creditor
nation of the world, shall consent.
The single standard has been a great
boon to England and she will never let
go of it as long as she can profit most by
having it. .
It was considered a crime by England
when our revolutionary forefathers; de
clared they bad. a right to be a free and
independent nation of people, and there
were in America ot that time tories who
held the same view, and still another
class who believed in a further petition
for redress from the impositions of the
crown. In this battle of financial inde:
pendence we have tbe same elements to
battle againBt. but we shall win. because
our demands are just demands, and are
Dasea upon ana provided for bv tho
constitution of the United States, the
highest authority ol Americans. We
complain no loDger; we beseech no more
tor loreian consent or co operation to
throw off the yoke of the single standard ;
our constitution provides us with a
remedy for a better and we croDose to
have it. We will not humiliate ourselves
longer, we will not recognize a higher
power than that of the United States
except the Father of tho universe, and
tbat lacks a great deal of being John

SITUATION SERIOUS
Spains Republican Sentiment
Has Been Concealed.
NOW COMING TO LIGHT
A Serious Outbreak is Liable
; to Occur.
Trouble of , a serious nature is being
fomented in Spain, particularly in the
province of Valencia, by agents of the
Cul?n insurgents. The minister of the
interior, Senor Cosgayon in replying to
a question iu the chamber of deputies ad
mitted that riots had occurred at Valen
cia, caused by the friends of the Cuban
insurgents, who hoped thereby to prevent
tbe departure of reinforcements of troops
for Cuba. .... . - . ' . ,
Hitherto the popular demonstrations
have been attributed to protests
imposing new taxes, made necessary by
the financial strain the government has
been subjected to, through carrying on
tbe campaign against the insurgents in
Cuba, but while the governments is only
willing to admit that the riots have been
instigated by the agents of the Cuban
revolutionists, it ia generally admitted
that tha root of the trouble is mooh
deerer and that it is being nourished by
a natural foelmg of alarm and dismay at
the apparent utter inability of the gov
ernment to cope with the situation ia
Cuba.
That the large Spanish armv in Cuba
must be still further heavily reinforced is
loosed upon here as being a confession
of weakness oa the part of tho adminu
tralion and as an admisnion i f the grow
Ing strength of the Cubans. In addition,
many leuers nave oeen received in differ
ent parts of Spain by the relatives of the
Spanish soldiery serving with the army
in Cuba, and they tell euch terrible tales
of slcknees, privation, incompetency and
mismanagement, to Bay nothing of lack
pay, tbat a dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen, and is gaining
Btrength day by day. Under these cir
cuffistances, agents of tbe Cubans do not
have much dilllculty in carrying out their
p'an of causing popular outbreaks.
Tbey steadily fan the flame of discontent
by pointing to the apparently unneces
sary hardships which the Spanish troops
in Cuba are compelled to endure.
Ti:e republicans also are taking advant
age of the situation to push thoir propa
ganda, and the combined movements are
making more headway with the masses
than tbe government will admit. 1.
-though it is already betraying symptoms
of alarm and has sent stringent instruc
tions to the perfects to suppress promptly
and effectually domonstrations which
occur in their districts, and to have no
hesitation In calling out the military for
support. ! ;
A number of conflicts between rioters
and the police and soldiers have already
occurred, shots have been exchanged,
several persons have beon wounded on
both sides, and a number of arrests have
been made. This the revolutionists liopo
will serve to call. attention to their cause
and enlist in their bohalf the sympathy
of tho peoplo. The roads in Velencia are
being patroled by gotid'arm?, troops
are pursuing armed bands of revolution
ists ia tho mouotaiuous districts of tho
same provinces aud further trouble is ap
prshended. ,
Madrid up to tbe present has been
quiet, but signs are not wanting that tiie
spirit cf discontent is abroad, and that
tbe efforts of the government to gain sup
port by trying to throw the blame for
everything upon the United States, the
chief bugaboo of Spanish politicians, will
not much longer avail.
In a factory near the city of Valencia
the authorities have discovered a quantity
of arms and ammunition, and similar
stores are believed to be in exiatenca in
