After a fewminutes the committee returnedwith Mr. Linney, applause greet-ing their entrance.

Those who have heard Mr. Lin-ney can appreciate his style andoratorv. Those who have not con-not appreciate any report in print,for Mr. l.uiney needs to be heardto be ei joyed, and the Democratspresent laughed as much as theRepublicans at the sharp thrustsmade at all the leading Democraticleaders, and the witty remarks andstories. The speaker tepoke offreedom, that man in about 6000

year's i f the world's history hadonly enjoyed 4110 years of personalfreedom.

ters that affect conditions. Nomi-nee for Governor Kitchin came infor some remarks, only as a Dem-ocrat and candidate, lis personalcharacter being praised. Thespeech lasted an hour and fortyminutes, and was interrupted manytimes by laughter and applame.?Washington Messenger, Wednes-day yth.

There were three passengers inthe car for colored people, one ofthese, Ella Hart, was hurt slightly,the others getting off with only a

danger he may have a fatalmalady. Take Foley's Kidney ,Cure at the first sign of trouble asit corrects irregularities and pre-vents Bright's disease and diabetes.C. C. Chase; S. R. Biggs.
