primaries is fixtd for Saturday, May
2, and the county meeting tin Saturday,
Hay 16. This meeting will appoint the
delegates tor the several district and
state conventions, and settle tht ques-
tion ot putting a full county ticket in
the field ait the next election.
The nominations to be made at a
later date.
Jake C. Rhodes, of Van Zandt coui.
ty, spoke here at the courthouse on the
28th instant, to a large and enthusi
astic rowd; and the silver democrats
turned out to hear him and had no ad-
verse comments to make, but say
if the democratic national convention
adopts a gold-bug platform that they
will not support the nominee. We ex-
pect to more than double our vote of
1894.-—Toan J. Russell, Beaumont, Tex,
We want no trimming done to our
Omaha demands. Give us Kearby for
governor and populist doctrine
straight.—C. F. Kilgore, Ohilton, Tex.
Cherokee is O. K. on the Omaha plat-
form. Sticking to what we believe in-
spires confidence in the wavering. The
Mercury is read and reread by our
people till it is worn out. Many who
are minus the cash are glad to have its
encouraging words read to them. It
has done the work for us here. We
will carry our county and give Kearby
a handsome majority. Count on Cher-
okee pops as "straight goods, all wool
and a full yard wide."—J. P. Cherokee.
I have just read Walton's and Kear-
by's reply to Judge Reiagan's open let-
ter to the people. They are stunners—
facts that can't be denied. I have been
a strong supporter of the Judge for thir-
ty years or more, and love 'him better
to-day than I do any other democrat
in Texas unless it is Hogg. During our
last campaign 1 was for Reagan, and
in my primary did my best for his
nomination. After the state conven-
tion pUt a gold standard plank in the
platform, I was proud to ¡hear that he
refused to submit his name to the
convention. But we will have to sepa-
rate at last. I see no hope for the mud-
sillers In the democratic party any
more. I have been reading the Mer-
cury too long to be hood-Winked. Give
us a change all around. I don't think
we can be worsted.

The action of the national commit-
tee at St. Louis calls for the atten-
tion of every thinking reform man
and woman in America. It behooves
every honest reformer to prepare to
battle against every encroachment
against populism. After the people
have entertained the highest hopes for
populist success in the state and na-
tion, are they to be overawed and de-
feated by the tyrannical actions of a
faithless committeee? Are the people
so destitute of patriotism as to submit
to the dictation of our present na-
tional committeee? Will the people be
so weak as to yield to (he ungodly de-
irires of tihat sinister committee by al-
lowing populism to be lead into fu-
sion with any other party? God forbid
it!
Let every honest patriot rise in his
might and put an end to such tyranny
as is now being practiced by a commit-
tee, who so boldly arrays Itself against
the people.
Let the watchword be, no fusion, no
trimming of the Omaha platform. The
recent action of the committeee was
as the throwing of a dynamite bomb
into the populist camps.
There is no earthly reason for put-
ting off the convention until after the
hest part of the «HDPftlgn year is
gone and the two old parties have won
the victory. If the convention can't
be held early and in the interest of the
people, we would better not put out
any ticket at all, and give plutocracy
the lead.
The populista have k>ng been crying
for an early convention in '96, and then
for the committee to set the time for
a late convention, is an act which the
people are not going to overlook 3
easily.
The people established their natl< -
al committee, and they have the sa e
power to exercise in displacing t ♦
committee and seating one that will
serve the people. This is no time for
reformers to be playing at politics, as
both old parties are doing everything
in their power to overthrow populism,
and from the signs, they will certainly
succeed unless the people awaken to a
sense of their duty. This is very
plain language, but we can't dodge the
truth. I want to ask a question, which
I trust will be answered by reformers
in one acclaim: Is it necessary that
the people should abide by the action
of the national committee in setting
the time for holding the convention as
late as July?
Let every populist begin to think

MISS UNA GILLESPIE.
Again has Mr. Cleveland «rone off
on a duck hunt. Evidently it need not
take much of a man's time to run the
government of the United States.
In ' ed, If we look into the matter, we
art 7 much tempted to conclude
that j ment is a thing that Is
best left to .cself and not to the ingen-
uities of paid officials. Even so ex-
alted an object as the president is most
useful on a vacation. What will be-
come of us when we have a chief mag-
istrate who gives his whole time to his
duties, and yet is as incompetent as
Mr. Cleveland? One-twentieth of that
gentleman's time is ruining us. If he
gave us all of his time we should be
In a sorry fix indeed.—Twentieth Cen-
tury.
CAT
(I TOMA CH.
What the Doctors Used to Call Dys-
pepsia Dr. Hartman CallslCatarrh
There is a disease of the stomach
known to physicians as gastritis. Dr.
Hartman has shown this disease to be
simply catarrh of the stomach, pro-
ducing all the symptoms of dyspepsia
and indigestion. He cures thousands
of such oases, which are supposed to
be incurable, because he has discov-
ered the secret of their trouble—
chronic catarrh. A letter recently re-
ceived from Mrs. Lulu Giddle, Storm
Lake, Iowa, is to the point:
"I was taken with catarrh of the
stomach two years ago. I was treated
by three of the best doctors in the city.
I grew worse under their treatment.
I was so low I could not retain my food
on my stomach at all. I was advised
by a friend to try Pe-ru-na, which I
did at once, and now feel better than
I have for a year. I can do my work
without that tired feeling. I can not
praise your medicine enough for sav-
ing my life. I would be glad to have
my letter published if it would help
any one who Is afflicted as I was. I
will try and answer all letters that are
sent to me, for I know just what Pe-
ru-na did for me. I would be glad to
recommend It to any one who has
catarrh."

clusively to caitarrh and catarrhal dis-
eases, and written by Dr. Hartman,
will be sent free to any address for

WHY USE
POND'S EXTRACT OINTMENT
IS UNEQUALED FOR PILES.
_ Why not something: else ?
Because
Da. J. J. Thomas says
elis I have ever used."
_ . It is incomparably superior to any extract of
Hamamelis I have ever used."
Dr. O. G. Randall says: "Nothing can equal Pond's Extract. I have
tested others, and yours is four times as strong as the best."
Dr. J. C. Mitchie says: "Pond's Extract of Hamamelis Virginica is
the only reliable article I have found."
Dr. H. K. Weiler says: "The difference between Pond's Extract and
so-called Witch Hazel is the difference between a cent and a dollar."
Dr. H. F. Merrill says: "It is far superior to any I have used in
strength and purity."
Dr. R. J. Harrison says : " I have never found any extract equal to Pond's."
Dr. Powell says : " Hereafter I shall use no other than Pond's Extract."
And numerous others of similar purport.
And that's why.
