Following the motion to name the choice
of tire convention for district delegates , Mr.
Dryan made an energetic speech against
sending the delegation to to stale conven-
tlot for trading purposes. IIo denounced
that spscioa of pohltics vigorously and moved
a resolution that the convention pledge its
delegation to the candidate named for dls-
trict delegate , but not for trading purposes ,
which was carried , 1
Each of lire tour candidates before the

Irlnrselt ax' in favor of the free and unlir r
fted coinage of silver , etc. , which ho did n
unmistakable terms.

All through the voting the delegates from

jumped on'Andls , declaring that he did not
propose to be "voted like a d-d steer , " and
attempted to strike him. At the same time

delegate to the national convention , This
motion opened the bunghole , and the oratory
flowed uimchccked for nearly an hour. All
agreed hr the opinion that hloward wan entitled -
titled to all tire honor the party could confer
upon irlm , but the motion was vigorously
opposed on tire ground that a motion had
just been passed providing for a caucus by
the three counties in this district , mud the
action proposed would virtually shut out the
otirer two counties , as Douglas had more
votes than tire other two counties combined ,
it was also stated that Mr. Howard had
written a letter declining to allow Ids name
to be used in that connection , The friends
of the motion urged that it would be nothing
more than a cgmpliment to one who had
earned it , Efforts to iavo the motion withdrawn -
drawn were made , but Tierney stood pat , and
finally a motion was made to lay it on time
table. This was opposed on the ground that
this would bo a slap at Howard , but tire sups
porters of the motion to table denial that
this was limo intention , After dlscussing

catod by warmth , slight moisture and lit-
tease , uncantrollablo Itching in tire parts af-
footed ,
The usual treatment hoe been some aimpio
olntrrlont or salvo , wldrh sanetbnes give
temporary relief , but nothing like a perma-
nmrt cure can be expected tronm such aupor/l- /
cial treatment ,
Tlmo omrly permanent cure for itching plies
yet discovered is tire Pyraarld 1'lo ! Cure , not
only , for itching piles , but for every other
form of piles , blooding or protruding , Time

continued use for a short time causes a permanent -
manent removal of limo tumors or the amall
parasites which cause the lntormso itching
and discomfort of itching piles.
Many phyalcians for a long time supposed
that the remirarhablo relief afforded by the
I'yramld Pile Cure was because it was supposed -
posed to contain cocaine , opium or slrnilar
drugs , but such Is not time case. A recent
careful analysis of the remedy showed it to
be absolutely free from any cocaine , opium ,
or in fact any polsonoua , injurious drugs
whatovor.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure is
probably the only pile cure extensively ree-
omrnended by physicians , because ! t is so
safe , so prompt in the relief afforded and so
tar as known tire only positlvo cure for plies ,
except a surgical operation ,
him one year the i'yrannld Pile Cure lmas become -
come tlro best know , the safest and time most
