In conned ion with the talk ahout

Phillips, ol the committee, yesterday
gave the following statement to the
Daily Press:
"I have been advised that the no?
tion last niglit of the city democratic
committee, in providing I hat no ballot
should la- counted for any man for
the Common Council, unless it con*
tallied the names ol two persons for
that office, has caused sumo feeling.
"While I did hol offer lie- resolu?
tion, and did not know, before I weiil
to the luvet I il g, that the matter
would he brougbi up- ye: l must say
that 1 helb vi- t he s her second

done.
"In (be first place lei me say thai
while perhaps oik- oi tun members

In i ther words two nl the Democrat?
ic candidates for the Council in each

the (' tiimittee is n| the opinion thai
it 1' the duty of every Democrat to
say which are the two strongest men
tu enter the general election.
"According in pri .; und other re?
ports, the |{i publicans of the ell}1
will make strenuous efforts in some
nl the wards of the city, ami it Is"
j highly desirable, therefore, that the
I two men who can command the larg?
est following should he nominated;
.-mil tin' c mmiitce feels that this
result can he best accomplished by
the action taken. Inasmuch as two
nu n must tie nominated Hie Commit
lee sees mi reason why any Democrat
should hesitate lo express his opin?
ion as to which are the best men:
ami we believe that any argument
against the resolution will be found,
upon closje scrutiny, to be an argu?
ment in the Interest if some partic?
ular candidate; ami the Committee;
did nut 1.. 1 that it ronbl consider I
particular candidates when this nc-l
lion was for the good of the parly iisl
a whole.

Woman's Kidney Troubles
Lydia E. PinKham's Vegetable Compound is Espe?
cially Successful in Curing This Fatal
Disease.
of nil the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early niid correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
I'.eing fully awnro of this, Lydia
K. I'inkhntn. early in her eareer. jrave
cxhnusive study to the subject, und in
producing her great retne?ly for
woman's ills?I.yd hi K. PtuUhnni's
Vegetable Compound?was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi?
nation <>f herbs which was sure to con?
trol that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia K. l'inkhnm's Vege?
table Compound is the only one espe?
cially prepared for women, und thou?
sands have been cured of serious kidney
derangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, nml when sl woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, hearing--down pains.
Scalding or burning sensations or de?
posits in the urine, unusual thirst.
Dwelling of bands and feet, swelling
under tho eyes or sharp pains in the
hack, running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
ami should lose no time in combating
tho disease with Lydia IS. Piiilchnm's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show hew
mnrvclously successful it is.
