IV Even if President McKinley made his western trip for political purposes, he coold not have made it in a better cause. IV*The rote in the mining districts of the state will show what the miners think of Governor Tanner. iVThe president and party with a war policy that changed the map of the world in one hundred days deserve to be sustained. IV In the management of the institu­ tions of the state Governor Tanner has saved money for every tax-payer in Illinois. IV* Along with the war questions the people should remember that the never- ending questions of the currency and the tariff also used to ba handled by a re- piblican congress. X- St*^ IV Former Governor Altgeld says that President ftfcKinley's presence at the Chicago peace jubilee mad" 25,000 , votes for the republican ticket in Illinois, Mr. Altgeld is too conservative. T at presidential visit aroused at least 50 000 Illinois republicans from their apathy. IV Former Governor Altgeld know*; the difference between abuse and argu ment, although his Effingham harangue affords no evidence of the fact Instead of attempting to reply to the arraignment of his adminetration made by Governor Tanner at Golconda, he indulged in per­ sonalties of the lowest order. Vile abuse will not answer the indictment his ad minstration is under. IVThe American Peace Commissioners at Paris have been instructed to inform "the Spanish Commissioners that this government's patience has about all been used up by the absurd contentions that have been put forward by them for purposes of delay and to try to tangle this government up with Spain's bonded indebtedness, and that it is absolutely necessary for thp Spaniards to get down to the business for which the Commission was formed, or be prepared to take the consequences. I^P What has become of Ben Cable in this campaign? When the gold prodigal returned to the democratic camp, the managers of the free silver organization heralded his action as an indication that the honest money men who left them in 1896 were going to return and embrace the idea of a debased currency. But that class of voters do not appear to have fol­ lowed Cable. They are remaining with General John 31. Palmer who stands now on the money question just where he stood in 1896. Meanwhile Ben seems to have been lost in the shuffle. THE COMING- ELECTION. Within thp past few we«ln and espec­ ially since President McKinley started upon his western tour it has become quite evident that success at the polls, next week, is assured. The apathy which so usually prevails in years when thrre is no President to be elected has this year disapr eared and Republicans are wide awake to the issues pen ling at this particular juncture in our history, and which are broad, far-reachiDg and of national character. They have come to the. conclusion all over the country that the settlementof the great question* t stake should remain in the hands of the representatives4of the party with ni~°tDe policy of the government Iginated a brief six months ago. They lieve in the homely but forceful aphor­ ism of the martyr president--Abraham Lincoln--who is accredited with sayitig in a campaign that was surrounded by some elements of uncertainty that "it it a poor time to swap horses while cross­ ing a stream." The United States hat> matters of a diplomatic character ii> hand that need the firm policy of a united people to bring them to a success­ ful conclusion. The Republican part,} has been obliged to bear the brunt of the' contest and of general public criticism, from which it has emerged unscathed Seeing all these things as they should, and no doubt do, patriotic Republicans will vote the straight party ticket every­ where. The best tidings come from New York and other eastern states; the out­ look in Iowa is most promising for a good old-time Republican majority, and it is confidently predicted that the state of Nebraska, whicli went over to the enemy two years ago, will cut loose from Populism and take its place in the Re­ publican column again, this year. It would be an insult to the patriotism, loyalty and good sense of the Republi­ cans of Illinois to aver or even insinuate that they intend this year to revise the splendid majority given President Mc­ Kinley and the entire Republican ticket in 1896. And if every member of the party maintains bis fealty faithfully to the great organization that ha* so often led to victory by going to the pollp November 8th, and casting a straight ticket as in convention^nominaled, then can be no possible doubt of the result. 1 hen and Now There was a great dt a! of shouting for 'old glory" when the war broke out. Soldier and cieizen made the welkin ring with their outbursts of loyalty to the old flag and the colors themselves decorated home and shop and person. Iudeed, that was not all. The star-spangled banner and the flag' of "Cuba librae- floated together as if they wero twin en­ signs of liberty and humane rights. What is the matter now ? The flag meais just as mnch now as It lid then; nay, more. Millions of long-oppressed people in­ habiting many isles of the sea are look* »g to the flag which now waves ovef them the emblem of emancipation and •rotection from tyranny to continue to he their shield and hops* Will it so remain? The soldiers who fougbfatid dfed; the •»oldiers living and suffering from wounds ind disease and those who escaped the •evers of the swamp but did their whole iuty, affirm the sacredness of the cause which they left the comforts Of home to struggle and die for. These did their whole duty. It remains cow for the citizen to do his. The ballot must clinch what the bullet has done. This is the day of the citizen.. W ill he prove true to the soldier and sailor? • , We shall see. P.

V The voters are bearing it in mind that the financial motto which obtained during the Altgeldian era in this state was, "No taxation without defalcation.' Vote the Straight Cou nty Ticket Every Republican V$*pr should come out on Tuesday next, and vote the straight Republican Ticket, from top to bottom. The democratic candidate for Sheriff is making a desperate canvass, and is claiming every town in the county. Republicans should be on their guard. Let no pretended friendship tempt them to scratch their ticket. Henry Keyes is the regular .Republican nominee, and as such is entitled to every Republican vote in the county. Let every Republican appoint himself a Com­ mittee of one to see that he gets them, The Republican ('ounty Ticket is an un- exceptionally good one, and is entitled to, as we believe it will, receive a solid vote. VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET. „. *•" A°e contiol of the next congress Upon which will be imposed the deter­ mination of the questions arising from the war should be in the hands of the re­ publican party. Owing to the grave duties to be discharged it is essential that the legislative department of the government should be in harmony with the executive department. Every citizen who takes pride in the achievements of American arms on land and sea should vote to give President McKinley helpful oo-operation in congress. The great importance of snstain- ingPreaident McKinley and the republi can party at the coming election can not be overestimated. The present crisis in our foreign relations is a critical one and coming generations will be affected by the action of the people of this country at the polls in November. History shows that the republican party can always be relied upon in emergencies for great con structive policies. It is more than desir able or expedient, it is necessary, that the next congress be in full sympathy With President McKinlsgr. Indignant Sergeant damn. Sergeant E. A. Quinn, of company K, Third Regiment Illinois Volunteers, writing to a brother in Oregon, III., from Guajama, Porto Rico, Sept. 29. says: Well, I am at the same old place yet, and no prospects of moving right away, but as I am pretty well fixed and in fine health, I don't care whether we move or not. That talk that you have been in the newspapers about us tt irving'and having no shoes nor clothing is a d-- lie, as we have both shoes and clothes and plenty of them, and cm get more of them whenever we want them. And as far as the grub is concerned it is as good as any one in the army could expect. There none of the men kinking--that is, the men that are men and soldiers. It's just the weak ones that are howling."--Ore- eon Reporter. 1m IVSome of the democratic orators are endeavoring to make the people be lieve thftt if it had not been for the democrats in congress the ̂ r could not have been prosecuted successfully. They do not tnake nnntion of the large num ber of democratic members who after howling for the war voted against th measure designed to raise the necessary sinews. Those members seem to hav stood in regard to the war, somewhat like the Kansan did as to tt-e pohib tory law of his state. He said in di-- cussing it: 'Tm in favor of the l iw but I'm against it3 enforcement," IVToesday next,.Nov. 8th, is election day. Let every Ile-publican voter turn out and do his whole duty, which is to vote the straight Republican ticket from top to bottom. Seal Estate Transfers For week ending Oct. 31, Inclusive.

It does not require an expert to detect r.he sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, mffy circlps under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A phyei' ian would ask you if you had. heumaticm, a dull pain or ache in the hack or over the hips, stomach trouble, lesire to urinate often, or a burning or raiding in passing it; if aftsr passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it Tiust be at once repeated, or if the urine tas a brick dust deposit or strong oder. When these symptoms are present, no irae should be lost in removing the •nuse. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of he bladder, infiamation, causing stop­ page, and sometimes rpqairing the draw- ng of the urine with instruments, or nay run into Bright's Disease, the most langerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the great discovery of the eminent kidney and rdadder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is worldwide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prtfer to tost its wonderful merits, mention The McRrnry PLAINDKALER and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., New York, for a sample bottleand hook telling about it, both seat ab o lutely free by mail.
