—Some years ago when suffering
with an uncommonly severe attack of
diarrhoea Mr. W. B. Guinnip of At-
cc. Pa. received through the mail a
sample bottle of Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He
says: “I found it to be one' of the
most effective remedies I ever used.
It gave me almost immediate relief.
It has no superior and I think no
equal. No bad effects follow the use
of this remedy. It is pleasant to take
when reduced with water and sweet-
ened. Children like It. It never fails.
It is the most perfect remedy ever
produced for bowel complaints.” For
sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by
all druggists.

HABIT.
"Why does Mrs. Nerves have her
desk calender turned over to the last
day of the year?” “She can’t help it.
She got that idea reading novels you
know. She always wants to anticipate
how the thing is going to end.”
BLACK MAN ON TOP.
DEMAS AND HIS GANG TURN MAJ.
HERO DOWN.
A Bolt and Two Candidates Nominated
For Congress Making it Easier
For the Popocrats.
New Orleans. Aug. 31.—Henry De-
nnis the negro ginned out Republican
leader in St. Johns parish ruled the
roost yesterday at the second congres-
sional Republican conventoin held at
Longshoreman’s hall on Jackson ave-
nue and Dyrades and incidentally
threw down “Major” Andrew Hero.
Hero is used to throw downs but the
one of yesterday was severe and can-
not but be painful on acount of the
fact that Demas had jollied the Major
on for quite a while leaving the little
man under the impression that he bad
Demas and his crowd “dead to rights.’
The convention was called for noon.
It was 3 o’clock before the committee
on credentials and temporary organi-
zation reported 4 o'clock before the
convention made a start to expedite
business and midnight ere the worn
out delegates cut loose from the ex-
citement of the occasion. It was a
riotously inclined mob from start to
finish and had It not been for the
presence of the police there is no
question but what divers personal en-
counters would have resulted. De-
mas was around all the time smoking
a perfecto ami looking as truculent as
ever. Captain Wimberly was fulfill-
ing the duties of national committee-
men as lie understands them by back-
ing Demas’ game to capture the con-
vention.
Before the convention assembled
Major Hero was working like a bea-
ver to secure a majority of the dele-
gates’ votes. He claims at least his
friends claim that the Major did have
<c l 'ar majority when the delegates
were admitted but the usual unrelia-
bility that accompanies anything
where Sambo is concerned followed
close on the heels of Major Hero’s
“trades” and on a vote Demas was
sustained in his position as “boss” of
the second Republican “regular” or-
ganization with headquartersat New
Orleans instead of St. John's parish
as heretofore. Major Hero and his
friends were furious at their being
turned down and htey bolted the De-
mas convention and set up a side show
of their own in Behrmann's hall.elect-
ing Charles as chairman.
Demas played a star part yesterday
Wimberly and he had rehearsed the
part carefully ami having an assur-
ed majority behind him the negro
striker from St. John’s essayed a role
foreign to his nature and allowed
those opposed to him an opportunity
to speak. With his gang behind him
Demas could afford to let W. S. Wil-
son bait him something W. S. didn’t
forget to do. and as this really clever
debater got into the weak spots of
Demas' armor. Demas could be seen
to wince and grind his teeth but pre-
serving his outward calm exterior
witli really admirable fortitude.
After laboring for ten hours the
sum total of the work accomplished
was this: Demas was sustained in
power and made permanent chairman.
J. F. Thomas permanent secretary
F. N. Wicker was nominated for con-
gress and some other minor offices
tilled up. The Hero crowd nominat-
ed Mr. James Legendre for congress
and then went home to apply liniment
to their wounds inflicted by their op-
penents. The nomination of Mr.
Wicker if it be seriously persisted in
makes tilings easier than ever for the
Democratic party in the second dis-
trict. While a very clever gentlemen
Mr. Wicker is totally unknown in the
district. During the state election in
April he was one of those city Repub-
licans who worked against the regu-
lars and under the order of the Pharr
committee.
— The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines
are not necessarily the best. In fact
as a rule they are not. What is want-
ed is something mild and sure such as
Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really
pleasant to take when reduced with
water and sweetened. Then it Is ac-
knowledged everywhere to be the suc-
cessful remedy in the world for bowel
complaints. Ask any number of drug-
gists for the best remedy they have for
diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
speaking of this medicine Mr. B. B.
Buffum of Friendsville Suspuehan-
na County Pennslyvanla says: "We
have used it In our family for pain In
the stomach colic and diarrhoea and
found it to be the most effective rem-
edy.” For sale by all druggists.

Ooi. J. P. Newcomb and the Negroes.
Freie I’resse Fuer Texas Aug. 29.
The negroes seem to have got-
ten It into their heads to push Col.
Jas. P. Newcomb out of the Repub-
lican Executiue committee of the
Twelfth Congressional District
and wo are sorry to say that they
are being assisted by a few un-
principled white politicians who
have gone through “thick aud thin”
with the negroes and used them
(the negroes) to cry down the re-
spectable white Bepublicans in
conventions. We have said in for-
mer issues of the Freie Presse that
the Terrells Sulzbachers Cliffords
et al. bad no cause whatever to be
present or assist at or to join the
negroes’ protest and indignation
meeting; they could have
kept away could have re-
mained neutral in a discussion in
which they were not interested
especially after the convention
had decided that Col. Newcomb
should be a member of the execu-
tive committee.
While the opposition of the
negro to Col. Newcomb is a dis-
grace and a shame it but shows
how far ingratitude can be carried
but it is still more to be deplored
to see a few whites make common
cause with the darkies and at
every chance try to and do keep up
this unjustifiable antagonism.
Col. Newcomb was a Republican
at a time when it required courage
and that not of the doubtful kind
to openly espouse Republican sen-
timent or proclivities and to pro-
claim oneself a member of the Re-
publican party. He was at this
time subject to all kinds of annoy-
ance and persecution but has re-
mained firm to his convictions
thus creating for himself the most
bitter hatred of the majority of
his fellow citizens.
Republicans were not then
plentiful as now. Political tolera-
tion existed in name only. New-
comb was and remained an earnest
defender of the Republican cause
in speech and writings—and now
at this late day come the negroes
and a few Republican noviceswho
have had hardly any experience in
life sufficient to appreciate and
measure the sacrificethat had had
to be gone through with by any
one who called himself a Republi-
can thirty and more years ago
and these self assumed censors
attempt now if possible to kick
Col. Newcomb out of the party.
We do not agree with everything
that Col. Newcomb has done in
former times but it must be born
in mind that irritated and
persecuted on all sides to such an
extent when forbearance almost
ceased to be a virtue and when
patience and leniency would
come to an end with him.
However during these last twenty
years he has become more toler-
ant and we have never found
that be made any attempt
to force his opinion when
there was any opposition to him ;
that he was always ready and
willing to sacrifice his ideas and
adopt more prudent views for the
sake of peace.
If Col. Newcomb wishes to cur-
tail the influence of the negroes in
the Republican party of Texas he
does so only for the best in-
terest of the negros themselves
and he is in fact a better
and greater friend to them than
those who flatter and fraternize
with them for their own vile and
selfish purposes.
