Kx-Governor McCroary, of Kentucky, who has worked hard for the gold standard, announces that he will sup? port tho Chicago nominees- As Secre? tary Carlisle has been in the same po? litical boat, the poople are anxious to know whether he will follow tho ex governor's example, or remain on board with President Cleveland. It is announced from Chicago that the gold standard Democratic leaders have decided to hold a new convention in that city about tho first of September. As by that time ail tho mon of in* fluence in the Dt:mo:r?tic party will be supporting the regular nomineos, the second Chicago convention will not amount to muoh. The silver cause It conatantly gaining Strength In Ohio, which is already classed among the doubtful states. A Bryan and Sawaii club has boen formed at Canton, the home of Ma jr McKinley, and tho work is being pushed forward vigorously all over the State. The Re? publicans have alrealy discovered that the nomination by ir party for Pres? ident Is by no means t ijulvalens to an election Senator Gordon, of Georgia, though a "sound money" man, Is opposed to placing a second re sidential ticket in the field, and sajs he has made up his mind to stand by the Chicago ncmlnees. Thorn are many other prominent Dam ocratH with similar views on the finan? cial '}uestlon who will follow the same course decided unon by the distin? guished Sjnator frox Georgia, and what Is more the number is constantly in? creasing. Senator Go'man is confident that Bryan and Sewall will r<celv9 the elec? toral vote of Mar/lanl when the time for the States to vote far President and Vice President arrives, and no man is bettor qualified to j jd^e of the course of poilt'cal events in that State than be is. For years he has been the domi? nant force in Democratic politics in Maryland, and though the Republicans were victorious in the lste State elec? tion, it does not follow that his Interest in his party has lessened, or that his knowledge ot Its Inner workings la less accurate than formerly. George Herbo and Frank Samuelson, of Branohport, N. J., the two adventur? ous oarsmen who started from New York for Havre, France, on June G, In the rowboat Fox, eighteen feet and four inches long and tour feet wide, was, ac? cording to a London dispatch, seen fro n the signal station of the Sicily Islands on August 1, having traveled 3,000 miles in fifty-five days. Themen car? ried provisions in the boat for sixty days, and If they have really crossed the Atlantic, as they claim, their perform? ance is one of the most remarkable in the records of navigation. Both sides claim to havo carried the Stato in the recent Alabama elections, but all the indications are that the Democrats will olect their governor. Ab to the composition of tho legislature that is somewhat uncertain. The fusion between the Populists and Re? publicans seems to have been carried out in good faith, but it Is not believed that this will interfero with a fusion of Democrats and Populists in behalf of Bryan at the November olectlon. The marriage of Cornelius Vander bllt, Jr., and Miss Grace Wilson at New York on the 3rd inst. did not meet with the approval of the groom's parents, but there Beems to have been no objec? tion so far as the parents of the young lady were concorned. On tho contrary they seemed to to vory much In favor of the union, notwithstanding the father of the groom threatened to disinherit him If he persisted in his matrimonial designs. Fusion of Democrats and Populists in Kansas is said to bo almost certain. Ex-United States Senator John Martin Is In favor of the nomination of Bryan and Sewall electors, and is trying to get the Populist leaders to endorse them at the Abilene convention, which meets to? day; but Chairman Breidenthal, of the Populist Stato committee, insists that the only thing a Populist convention can do will bo to endorse the candidates for President and Vice-Presldont of tho party. Should the Democratic State convention nominate ten Bryan and Sewall electors, It is believed the Popu? list convention will name ten Bryan and Watson eloctora, and that later the two State committees will come together and each take off five electors- If the combination should win In Kansas, Sewall and Watson will havo five votes each for VIce-President. As matters now stand In the Stato, this appears to be the way the electoral matter will be settled. A PATRIOTIC MAN. The course displayed by Mr. Bland towards Mr. Bryan since tho latter s nomination for President at Chicago has shown the Missouri friend of tho silver dollar In a must favorable light. Apparently the Missouri ex-Congress? man bad the strongest claims for the Democratic.nomination for President of any man in his party; but when Bryan by his masterful sp-ecb and wonderful eloquence convlnoed the Chicago con? vention that ho was tho man who should be thuB honored, Mr. Bland did not go sulking to his tent and nurse Imaginary wrongs. He accepted the issue with good grace, and when, while en route from Illinois to his Nebraska home, Mr. Bryan passed through Missouri, his generous competitor met him at St. Louis and accompanied him to the Iowa lino, making on the way a number of speeches, in which bo was enthusiastic in support of the Democratic nominee for President. Not only did he do this, but it Is now announced that he will accompany Mr. Bryan from Lincoln, Nebraska, to New York, where the let? ter's Bpeech accepting tho Presidential nomination is to be made, and that on the route tho Missouri statesman will Introduce tho young freo sliver giant of the West to the admiring throngs which will assemble in the various cities, towns and villages to greet him. It is not believed that the Mlssourlan will lose anything by his generosity and self denial, and If Mr. Bryan should be elected President, of which thero does not now aoem to be any doubt, It is rea? sonable to suppose that a snug berth In the cabinet will be given Mr. Bland.

They know that a really good complexion Is a sign of health, and created by Nature. There are different ways of imitating a fine complexion : cosmetics, which deceive no? body, but ruin the skin and make the user look silly and prematurely old ; stimulants which only give a temporary flush : danger? ous drugs which drive pimplv disorders from the face back into the blood. All these "counterfeit" complexions are un? safe and easily detected. But the genuine, unmistakeablc, much ? admired color and clearness of health can only be obtained by clearing all bilious matters aud humors out of the blood. The first step towards creating a good complexion by Nature's own method is to get the blood clear, and the circulation free and active. There Is no complexion so sal? low, muddy or pimply hut It will be cleared and brightened by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the best natural complexion-maker ou earth. It sends the fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by thoroughly cleariug all bilious ami eruptivo humors out of the blood. It strengthens the digestion and regulates the bowels in a mild, natural way. It gives brighter color to the blood, and not only beautifies the complexion but makes the eyes brighter and the breath sweeter. If the bowels be very much constipated, it will be advisable to take small doses of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, conjointly with the use of the "Golden Medical Dis covcrv." One or two each day?just suf? ficient to get their laxative aud alterative, or blood cleausing, effect will be sufficient. When P il y was si. we gave her Caatorhi.
