Major Mims, one of the candidates

not mean a new job for the Mayor.
THE THORN IN HANNA’S SIDE.
Senator Hanna has been put out of
temper by the declaration of the inde
pendent newspapers supporting McKin
ley that Mr. Bryan's speech of accept
ance was of such a character as to
make it necessary for the Republican
leaders, if they would counteract its ef
fect upon the minds of the people, to
meet its argument in other ways than
by raising a big campaign fund. Hanna
disapproves of this kind of talk, be
cause he is sagacious enough to know
that Bryan’s speech against im
perialism is absolutely unanswerable,
and the least said about it the better
it will be for the republican party. The
Boston Herald says:
“Notwithstanding the disapproba
tion of the eminent chief manager of
the Republican campaign, we remain
of the same opinion, and we are of
opinion too, that Mr. Hanna knows
that what we said is reasonable on its
face and useful as counsel, although he
may not relish its frankness. We ex
pect to see, before the campaign is
much older, proceeding on the part of
the Republicans that will recognize
the justice of our critical estimate of
the unexpectedly cogent and persuasive
quality of this address, which, un
doubtedly, will be a widely circulated
document of the opposition. It cannot
wisely be dismissed with a contemptu
ous sneer.”
The ringing and patriotic speech of
Bryan and the unmistakable drift of
the indenpendent and German-Ameri
can vote to the Democratic party, have
made the Honorable Marcus Alonzo
Hanna a verj’ unhappy man. He has
discovered to his disgust that the woods
are not on fire for McKinley this year,
as was the case in 1896. Things are not
at all to his liking, and he is alarmed
by the indifference which exists
among the rank and file of the Re
publican party in the Eastern and Wes
tern States.
In an interview with a representative
of the New York Herald on Saturday
last Senator Hanna complained of the
apathy, although hegcalled it confid
ence, as follows:
“Right here is the trouble. Repub
licans in the States west of the Alle
ghanies are so filled with confidence
that they fail to enthuse. A similar
condition prevails here in New York
though not to so great an extent. I
have attempted tb give warning, and
our friends seem to think that I am
talking for effect. I am not. You
may quote me as saying that if we can
get out our votes we will defeat Bryan
more decisively than we did four years
ago. But it is going to be much more
difficult than it was then to persuade
men that they should take the trouble
to go to the polls. This same apathetic
over-confidence is ocasioning the Na
tional Committee much embarassment,
as it has resulted in a lack of campaign
funds.”
The lack of campaign funds is very
worrisome to Hanna. He knows that
it is impossible for the Republican
press and spellbinders to meet Bryan’s
argument against imperialism, and the
only hope he has to overcome its effect
on the voters lies in an immense cor
ruption fund.—New Orleans States,
CATARRH
Catarrh’’ has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor
oughly and permanently the worst cases.
Mr. P. H. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky.,
writes: “Having been a terrible sufferei from
Catarrh, and being now
sound and well, the ques
tion often put to me is,
‘What cured you?’ In an
swer I feel it my duty to
state that Swift’s Specific
is the medicine. I am
such a true believer in the
efficacy of Swift’s Specific
that I can honestly and
conscientiously recom
mend it to any one suffer
ing from Catarrh. Have
recommended it to many,
and am happy to’say that
those whom I have induc-
ed to use it can bear me out in the statement that
it will cure any case of Catarrh if taken accord
ing to directions.”
is the only purely veg-
W/ W/* etable blood purifier
known,and the greatest

If you have Catarrh don’t wait until it
becomes deep-seated and chronic, but be
gin at once the use of S. S. S., and send
for our book on blood and skin diseases
and write our physicians about your case.
