THE INEVITABLE ALTGELD. Again Makes His Appearance to V«>n* fl> tuiteration A((M|ii«t a Ki.a!. The inevitable Altgeld a jr.-in has made his appearance. And auain .has made it lor the purpose of venting his vituperation upon a rival.1 ih.ie is no man living to whom the old story cf the attorney with a l«id ease is more applicable than to Mr. Altgeld. "I cannot win the case," said itie attor ney, "but it gives me a vtry fti.« chance of abusing the plaint.fit's it.uu- sel." This has been Mr.* Altj.eid's pol icy from the time that he entered np< u the stage of"public lite, ard it will lie Ills pol.cy tin i il the cu'tan is rung down, amid the derisi\;e cheers of the audience. Covernor Roosevelt made certain very specific charges against the Dem ocratic party. Ky the Democrat.c iwir- ty is not so much meant, the rank and tile as the leaders who frame the plat forms, manage its affairs; and domin ate It! The rank and file may be. and doubtless are. patriotic sit heart, but the disposition of the leaders can be judged only by their declarations when in convention and by their acts wlien In power. It is the most indisputable of facts, that the Democratic platform of 1S1M! demanded the debaseijient of the coinage, a degradation of the fed eral courts to the rank of subservient partisan tools, a restoration of the wildcat system of banking, a return to that free trade policy which invar iably, when in force, has created com mercial panic, and has brought desti tution to the homes of the laborers. This Is the record of the Democratic party, so far as its declarations are concerned. So far as its acts are con cerned. the dire distress of 1893 and the succeeding years have not passed from the memory of men. Coming to the present year, the Democratic leaders in convention as sembled. reaffirmed their devotion to the policy of 1(5 to 1: they reaffirmed their hostility to non-part'san federal courts: they reaffirmed their hatred of a protective policy: they reaffirmed their intent to revolutionize the bank ing system. With these filets in view, it is for the cou'^t'.v t > siv whet' 0" ,\Ir. Roosevelt's charges arr> well grounded and sus ceptible of proof. WILL HELP DAVID BOSS Populist* Decline to Support Ben Cald well for CoiiffrenA Attain. Down in the Seventeenth Illinois congressional • district the Populists have caused a panic among the Demo cratic henchmen.of Congressman Cald well by placing a candidate of their own in the field. Chairman Hopp de : clares that none of the Populist vote which elected Caldwell to congress two years ago will be secured by the wily Democratic candidate next fall. The members of the People's party who formerly favored fusion are back in line to a man. The pretenses of love made for the Populists by the Demo cratic leaders was exposed at Kansas City, Chairman Hopp declart d, when Towne, the Populist candidate for vice president, received 72% votes out of the entire convention. It is generally conceded that even the vigorous cam paign . debauchery- conducted by tlie Democrats two years ago would have failed had it not been for the fusion with the Populists in this district. This fall the Populists expect to poll 1.500 votes in the district for their can didate and there is a strong probability that it will result in the election of the Republican nominee, Hon. David Ross, the able and eloquent labor lead er. Cannot Stomach Bryan. John P. Stanton, one of the best- known traveling men in Chicago, has left the Democratic party and become an active Republican. He lias repre sented the Heath & Milligan .Manu facturing company for several years ns its head salesman. In a letter to Mich ael Zimnier. president of the Tenth Ward Democratic club, resigning from that organization, Mr. Stanton says he is for expansion, does not believe in the "50-cent dollar business," recog nizes that President McKinley has brought prosperity, and cannot stom ach Bryan's preaching of anti-imper ialism after his truly imperial dicta tion t6 the Kansas City* convention. Mr. Stanton always has been a Demo crat. Truth Al>out a Baekallder. It now transpires that Hon. Mich- eal Collins. Of Joliet, who has been widely heralded as the latest distin guished convert to Democracy, was a 16 to 1 man four years ago and he was only kept in line by persistent effort. This year, when defeated for the Re publican nomination for senator, he suddenly discovered that the Republic an party was permeated with the dreadful "contagion of imperialism, and he gathered his saintly robes about him a yd fled to the Bryan camp. If he Is not rewarded with an office there, he will probably join in the ghost dance in some other reservation. Women Forming Clutw. Patriotic women always stand ready to aid anv srood cause and the Repub lican nominees will" get much' help from the fair sex in Illinois this fall. A woman's McKinley club has just been formed at Peoria with 200 mem bers. Mrs. Lizzie Shaw being chosen president. A similar club, with a largo membership, lias been organized at Pana. with Mrs. H. C. Painter at its head. Many other Republican clubs of women are being organized over the state to take an active part in the campaign. - Putin™ nt Corn Carnival. Chairman Grier of the Peoria corn carnival, to be held in October, is ar ranging to set apart one day for Re publicans. The occasion will be a big one and every effort will be made to secure Governor Roosevelt and other distinguished party leaders for this day.

"My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or .three bot: ties of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or days with out relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bkwxly ttux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said 'No'. I went home and brought him my bottle and gave hi in one dose: told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was en tirely cured. I think it is the best medicine I have ever tried." For sale by Julia A. Story. It Wouldn't Work. A young man presented himself be fore the bar at the county clerk's office a few days ago with a silver dollar tightly clutched in his strong right hand and tremblingly applied to deputy Clerk Adams for a marriage license. Mr. Adams began to fill out the appli cation in the usual forin, which was all right until he came to the name of the prospective bride, whose name was the same as that of the gentleman, but the clerk was emphatically assured they were no relation. The next snag that the would be groom ran into was the age of the girl, 17 years, and a license was refused without the parents con sent. The young man was lavish in his assurance that the parents were tickeled to death with the match and had sent him for the credentials but the best Clerk Adams would do was to fill out a permit and order the young man to secure the parents signature, other wise remain in his present state of misery. The permit came back shortly, by mail, properly signed, but to be sure everything was on the square Mr. Adams called up the father of the girl on the phone, and the whole thing was a revelation to the old gentleman. The couple were cousins and the parents were in no wise kindly inclined to the match and it's all off.--Ogle County Republican. -- pfevente«h A Tragedy.-- Timely information given Mrs. Georsje Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, saved two lives.

They were strictly; true.

It is inctty certain that the movement against expansion' is being urged by I' "publicans- as well as'Democrat's, but Democracy must take the blame for it and bear the hateful odium that at taches to-all those w-.ho'oppose the gov ernment in time of war. There is no may, living today who would rejoice more than 1 at the triumph of Democ racy this fall, but that triumph must be along honorable linos and not at the expense of the soldiers in th.^ field."

Fred Dahler. a leading Gorman poli tician, who was a president of.the Alt- geld club in ISJMi, said: "I am for McKinley. Dick Yates and the entire Republican ticket. The Germans read as closely as do anylwdy, and you will- find the Germans in Christian'county arrayed against the Democratic candi dates this year. We expect to throw the entire support of our people to Mc Kinley and Yates. All this talk about Alschuler getting the German vote Is mere bosh.

McKinley-Yaten Club Formed with a Large Menihernhip. A German-American McKinley and Yates club was organized at Elgin last week with a charter membership of over 100. William Grote is the presi dent of the club, and he says the in dications are that it will have many hundred members. Tlv* German-Amer icans of Kane county are enthusiastic and loyal and will vote the Republic an ticket straight this fall, knowing no good reason why they should scratch a single name on it.

Will Carry It in Hia Mind. Certain over-confident and imagina tive Democrats of Illinois have been to Mr. Bryan and given him assur ances that he will carry Illinois this fall. Assurances, however, do not go far. The probability is that Mr. Bry- gn will carry Illinois in the same mari ner that he will carry certain other states--he will carry them in his mind 4 Hanecy on the IMNUC. "The question the Democrats have raised this time." says .Fudge Elbridge Hanecy, "is the^ight and duty of this country to protect its citizens at home land abroad, and it will fce settled as conclusively as was the financial one four years ago."
