A Friend
Wishes to speak through the
Register ot
the beneficial results he has received
from a regular use of Ayer's Pills.
He says: "I was feeling sick and tired
and my stomach seemed all out of order.
I tried a number of remedies, but none
seemed to give me relief until I was in
duced to try the old reliable Ayer's
Pills. I have taken only one box, but I
feel like a new man. I think they are
the most pleasant and easy to take of
anything I ever used, being so finely
sugar-coated that even a child will take
them. I urge upon all who are
In Need
of a laxative to try Ayer's Pills."
Booth bay (Me.), Register.
"Between the ages of five and fifteen,
I was troubled with a kind of salt*
rheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to
the legs, and especially to the bend of
the knee above the calf. Here, running
sores formed which would scab over,
but would break immediately on mov
ing the leg. My mother tried every
thing she could think of, but all [was
without avail. Although a child, I read
in the papers about the beneficial effects
of Ayer's Pills, and persuaded my moth
er to let me try them. With no great
faith in the result, she procured
Ayer's Pills
and I began to use them, and soon
noticed an improvement. Encouraged
by this, I kept on till I took two boxes,
when the sores disappeared and have
never troubled me since."—H. Chipman,
Real Estate Agent, Roanoke, Va.
"I suffered'for years from stomach
and kidney troubles, causing very severe
pains in various parts of the body. None
of the remedies I tried afforded me any
relief until I began taking Ayer's Pills,
and was cured."—Wm. Goddard, Notary
Public, Five Lakes, Mich.

REPUBLICAN CLUBS.
NATIONAL. LEAGUE CONVENTION
OPENS AT LOUISVILLE.
More People Present Than Could
Find Even Standing Room—Pres
ident Clarkson Delivers His An
nual Address.
LOUISVILLE, May 12.—Undismayed
"by the rout of a few months ago, when
their political adversaries, for the first
time in nearly three decades secured
control of every branch of the- govern
ment, but full of enthusiasm and hope
for the future, the representatives of
the young Republicans of the United
States assembled in annual convention
in McCauley theatre.
Aft«r the welcoming speeches Gen
eral Clarkson, chairman of the league
clubs, made his annual address, speak
ing for an hour.
Cheers repeated for several moments
rewarded the speaker when in conclud
ing hi brought the gavel down upon
the dask and declared the convention in
order. Committees on resolutions and
other matters were appointed and at 1
o'clock the convention adjourned for
the day.
The special committee on the place
and date for the next meeting of the
league selected Denver. The conven
vention will be called for the second
Wednesday in May, 1894. Milwaukee
and Omaha were the contestants for
the honor.
THE PLATFORM.
Matters Recommended For the Con
sideration of Republicans.
LOUISVILLE, May 12.—Tbe second day
of the convention of the League of Re
publican clubs was much better at
tended than the first, but there was a
great deal of complaint from the rank
and file that more of the national party
leaders were not present. The conven
tion was called to order at 10:30 by
President Clarkson. E. M. Smith of
Alabama was appointed sergeant-at
avms. The committee on resolutions
then made its report, which was re-'
ceived and read. Several sections
caused considerable discussion but the
report was finally adopted, as follows:
The Resolutions.
We, the representatives of the Repub
lican League clubs of the United States in
national convention assembled, reaffirm
devotion to the principles of the Repub
lican.party as enunciated by the national
Republican convention of 1892."
We point with pride to the passage of a
general law for the safety of life and limb
of railroad employes, on recommendation
to President Harrison, by a Republican
congress and in conformity with the ex
pressed pledge of the national Republican
convention.
We declare that we are in hearty sym
pathy with every legislative enactment
which will promote the interests of the
wage earners and tend to equalize condi
tions and harmonize relations between
labor and capital, always regarding the
moral and material welfare of
the great body of the people as
the primary object, to be attained
and recommended as one of the most ef
ficient means to attain this and the estab
lishment of a system of arbitration for the
adjustment of differences arising between
labor and capital.
Commend the Secret Ballot.
We declare our faith in genuine secret
ballot laws fortified by efficient acts for
the suppression of corrupt practices in
elections. We demand the enforcement of
existing laws by the duly instituted offi
cers of the law and demand the abolition of
the system of private armed forces repre
sented by the Pinkerton and like detective
agencies. We demand the suppression of
all public gambling whether in food pro
ducts or by means of lottery tickets. We
heartily urge an amendment to the consti
tution making the president ineligible to a
second successive term.
Favor Woman
Suffrage.
We recommend to the favorable consid
eration of the Republican clubs of the
United States as a matter of education the
question of granting to the women of the
state and nation the right to vote at all
elections on the same terms and conditions
as male citizens.
The foreign policy of Benjamin Harrison
and James G. Blaine deserves and receives
the commendation of all Americans who
believe in preserving the rights and dig
nity of the United States, and in extend
ing the scope of its influence. In accord
ance with that policy we reaffirm our
determination to encourage the enforce
mept of the Monroe doctrine, not only as it
applies to North and South America, but
also those lands on the Atlantic and Pa
cific which are or may become necessary
to the protection of our coast line and our
trade. When the American flag covers
American interests and American honor,it
Must Never 3e Lowered.
The Democratic party having for the
first time in 82 years succeeded to power
in both the executive and legislative de
partments of the government, we now
direct attention to the fact that it should
either give the people a fair trial of the
policies advocated in its last national plat
form or admit that it gained its supremacy
by gross misrepresentation and hypocrisy.
Tracey Elected President.
When the report had been adopted
President Clarkson directed the secre
tary to call the roll of states for nomin
ations for the office of president. Illi
nois was the first to respond, when Rep
resentative O'Connell of Bloomington,
Ills., placed in nomination William W.
Tracey. New York responded by plac
ing William Hastings of Pennsylvania
in nomination. Delegate Campbell of
New York nominated
M.
H. De Young,
editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Tracey was elected on the first ballot,
receiving 902 votes, De Young 404 and
1 Hastings 418.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Proposition tn Change Basis of Rep
sentation Defeated.
LOUISVILLE, May 12.—The National
Republican central committee has put
a temporary quietus upon, the proposi
tion to change the basis of representa
tion in the next national convention,
A motion was made to table the
resolution, but finally it was decided to
indefinitely postpone final action in or
der that the sentiments of representa
tive Republicans throughout the coun
try mirjht be ascertained.
Vice Chairman M. H. De Young pre
sided at the opening of the meeting.
The resolution adopted by the caucus
recommending that Mr. Carter be made
chairman of the national committee
was called up, but Mr. De Young cialled
it out of order for the reason that
Mr. Campbell's resignation had not
been accepted and that he was, conse
quently still chairman. The resigna
tion was then duly accepted and Mr.
Carter was regularly and with practi
cal unanimity elected chairman of the
national committee. Joseph H. Manley
of Maine was selected as permanent
secretary. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster of
Iowa was permitted to occupy fifty
minutes in telling of the work of the
Woman's Republican club in the last
campaign. When she concluded it
was within an hour of Derby time and
the committee adjourned subject to the
call of the chair.
WEEK'S PECULATIONS.
It Is Claimed That They Will Reach
Over $1,000,000.
NEW YORK, May 14.—It is now esti
mated that the indebtedness of Francis
H. Weeks, against whom a suit was be
gun for trust money alleged to have
been misappropriated by him, will be
more than $1,000,000. William Nelson
Cromwell, of Sullivan & Cromwell,
attorneys for the Superior Land and
Improvement company, in which Mr.
Weeks had held the office of president,
secretary and treasurer, said that the
company would lose nothing of the
$550,000 that Mr. Weeks took without
the authority of the company. The at
tachment which Mr. Cromwell placed
on the West Superior Steel company
amply secured the Land and Improve
ment company, as the plant is valued
at $2,000,000. Of the $550,000, Mr.
Weeks, Mr. Cromwell declared, had be
yond question pocketed $150,000, and
was an embezzler to that extent at
least.

and Mrs. Cleveland have moved out to

that a secret which has been whispered
around some time, and about" which,
naturally, members of the president's
household do not care to talk, is now
no longer a secret, as it has been given
considerable publicity. The expected

anxious to get into their own country
