party state central committee of Ind:
Jana issued a call a few weeks since
lor a conference, Inviting the middle-of-the-roaders,
silver republicans and
any others who desired independent
political action along populist lines to
. attend. The meeting was held Septem
ber 24 at the Occidental hotel, Ind
ianapolis, representative populists
from all parts of the state being pres-
' ent, together with leading silver re-
; publicans and Chicago platform demo
crats. The meeting wa3 harmonious and
pervaded by the old time spirit of
brotherhood. All recognized that the
time was opportune for again taking
up the work of the people's party and
pushing it vigorously along. One and
al expressed belief that further affilia
tion with the democratic party was
abortive, and that, by inaugurating in
dependent action now the 30,000 pop
ulist voters who went to tne democracy

Chairman Edgerton's trip to the east
in behalf , of the organization of the
people's party has been productive of
much good in awakening the populists.
He reached Columbus the 26th and
held a successful meeting there. Dr.

AN ADDRESS TO OHIO POPULISTS
. AND UNION REFORMERS.
In pursuance of the resolutions of
the July 29, 1903, Denver conference, a
meeting of reformers at Columbus, this
alay, temporarily organized by elect
ing George A. Groot of Cleveland, O.,
president, and Dr. R. H. Reemelin of
Cincinnati, 0., secretary.
We feel as did the populists in 1892,
when the Omaha platform enunciated
the great truths upon which the peo
ple's party was fvinded that "the in
terests of rural and civic labor are the
same their enemies are identical."

call. He spoke at some length. The
substance of his remarks was that
fusion had run its course and was a
thing of the past; that the democratic
party was again under control of the
Cleveland element, and that the ac
tion of Bryan in relation to the Iowa
democratic convention which turned
down the Kansas City platform and
his' supporting Clarke, the Palmer
Buckner gold democrat, who was re
cently nominated by the Ohio demo
crats for United States senator led him
to the conclusion that -he '(Bryan)
would either support the reorganized
democracy or sulk. Right here it may
be well to say that Mr! Edgerton is
and for many years has been a per
sonal friend of Bryan, and at St. Louis
was made secretary of the populist
national committee to represent the
interests of Mr. Bryan. He at that
time resided in Lincoln. Mr. Edger
ton stated in his talk to the conven
tion that while he thus had no hope of
Bryan standing by his principles to
the extent of leaving his party, he
had information that some prominent
and- influential Bryan democrats,
whose names he was not at liberty to
disclose, would bolt the party and act
with the people's or a new party. Ha
read quite a lengthy letter from an
Ohio democrat severely criticising the
action of the Ohio convention in the
nomination of Clarke, the gold dem
ocrat, and virtually promising to join
the people's party in the event the
fcold bugs won out in the democratic
national convention, . Mr. Edgerton
. ; ';) i". fi ' . i . '.a : , .
said he had called the meeting to har
monize the populists of the state and
u possible the other reform elements.
and to arrange to organize the peo
ple's party in the state. He conclud
ed his remarks by saying that since
the Denver conference there w2s but
one people's party and that fusion was
forever ended. Brief addresses were
made by a half dozen or more."
A; committee, consisting of Messrs,
Florea, Hillis, Oldham, Teagarden and
Dixon, reported a plan of organization
which resulted as follows:
Chairman of the state committee
James H. Hillis, McFall, Mo.; vice
chairman, I. J. Teagarden, Hamilton;
secretary, Dr. J. S. Cantrell, North-
view; treasurer, A. R. Torrey, Hamil

filled by chairman.
Members of the people's party . na
tional committee were then elected as
follows: A. H. Livingston, West

Dixon, Chillicothe.
Frank E. Richey, Oriel building, St.
Louis, was elected Missouri's member
of the Denver conference national or
ganization commjjttee.
And the "following resolution was
unanimously adopted: ,
"Resolved, That we are opposed to
fusion forever hereafter with any po
litical party."
The World seems much elated over
the success of thp Missouri conference
and says: ,
"Populists will soon be in a singing
mood, again. Let us sing, brothers.
Wall street will tremble when the re
formers again take up the chorus,
'Good-bye, old party, good-bye.'" .

says; that Major A: M. Harvey was
named by the . populist conference to
represent Kansas on the national re
organization committee. The confer
ence also declares against fusion with
the democrats next year.
When the question of fusion came up
there was considerable difference of
opinion. Some of those present want
ed to invite the democrats to aid in
the fight in Kansas next year. Others
wanted to pass a resolution refusing
any aid from tho democrats. Major
Harvey, who was chairman of the
conference, steered it between the two
opposite propositions, but the general
sentiment was against fusion with the
democrats next year and in favor of a
straight populist ticket.

IS YOUR STOMACH ON A STRIKE?
There is Nothing to Prevent Yen Employing
Substitute to Do Its Work
There is such a thing as forbear
ance ceasing to be a virtue even in the
case of one's stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs will
stand a great deal more wear and
tear and abuse than others, but they
all have their limit and when that
limit is reached, the stomach must hi
reckoned with as sure as fate. ,.Th
best way and really the only effective
way to treat your stomach when It
rebels is to employ a substitute to do
its work. This will give the weakened
and worn-out organ an oppc rtunity. to
rest and regain its strength and
health.
Stuart's Byspepsk. Tablets relieve
the stomach of its work by taking up
the work and 'doing it just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves anotner.
They actually digest the food in just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids of a sound
in the stomach, they are digestive
fluids for they contain exactly the
same constituents and elements as the
gastric juice and other digestive fluids
of the stomach. No matter what the
condition of the stomach is, their work
is just the same. They worn in their
own natural way without regard to'
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored
and renewed by Nature and the rest
of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason of its failure to
perform its work.
A WisrhnsiTi tnsn says "T siiffprod ....
the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years.
I tried every known remedy with in
different results until I was told of
the remarkable cures of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. I bought a box, be
gan taking them and forgot I had a
stomach. Three boxes cured me com
pletely. I'haye had no trouble what
ever for a year and have an appetite
like a harvest, hand and can eat any--thing
that is set before me without
fear of bad results."
Stuart's Dyspepsia, Tablets are for
sale by all druggists ut 50c a box. The
druggist never fails to have them in
stock because the demand for them is "
so great and so pronounced that he
pie who could not get them , of one
druggist would go to another and
would get in the habit of buying their
other drugs there as well , as their
Stuart's .Dyspepsia Tablets. . .
