IS CD. HOWARD A FRAUD?
I'. agar Howard makes an appeal to
tho fu-ion foices wheresoever dis
l Med to C'Uiie forward in this criti
cal and trying moni-nt with donations
of cash for the several state commit
tees to urc ia pnyiiig railroad faro and
hotel bills for the reform candidate
who must go out and put up a spirited
campaign or go down in ignominious
defeat. Colonel Howard knows well
enough that his scheme is impracti
cable a iid woidd prove a useless waste?
of money. The candidates would use
the pusses they have on hand and
'"Siilt'" the mileage as Edmisten has
done in the discharge of his duties as
oil inspector, i'oiiticians who ave
willing to bai ler party principles for
oilieo are "out for the stuil','' and h ive
shown by accepting benellls from cor
porations against which they assumed
to be makii.g war that their assump
tions were di.-honest and merely a
bait thrown out to catch suckers. In
stead of putting up money as a gratu
ity to fat sal '. i ied otlicers and clerks
the people should turn out on election
day ar.d rebuke hypocrisy and phm
by voting the republican ticket.

Electric Hitters is a medicine suited
for any se isoii, but perhaps more gen

hausted feeiiiig prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic aiai alterative is teit.
A prompt i! so of this medicine has
often abated long arid perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
