Mr. Christopher Fifiley, mason, of 51aState street, Hudson, N. Y., says: "Istated through the Hudson newspaper, mthe winter of 1896, that Doan's KidneyPills cured my aching back and otherconsequents of disordered kidneys. Isuffered every pain and ache imaginableboth day and night with my kidneys;suffered until I could hardly stand allysnore, but I got relief at last from usingDoan's Kidney Pills.

Great Demonstration.terday thrilled his audience. With a clear,rinsing voice that reached the remotest•pet of the hall and with graceful gest-ures he brought all under his spell. Timeand again his hearers broke into cheerias he spoke of the present prosperity otthe country and predicted McKlnley'itriumphant re-election. And when he de-clared that the Democratic party hadbeen driven by the events of the last fouiyears from every position it occupied it1896 to seek new Issues in the events olthe war with Spain, there was anotherfrantic outburst.. The same enthusiasmswelled out when* he predicted that thisgeneration which had witnessed our re-cent acquisition would see the America!nation girding half the globe with itsflag, extending its commerce to the ut-termost ends of the earth and taking itsplace as a world power among the greatnations—a power for good, for peace ancfor righteousness. But the climax wasreached when he lifted up his voice anCdeclared that !iour dead were buried lrLuzon and that on Its soil no foreigrflag should ever salute the dawn. In hissplendid peroration he declared that th<Republican party endowed for 40 yearswith everything enobllng and uplifting itour history, was never so "vital, virlltand vigorous,'" as today and that wittuntarnished record it would transmit tcposterity an undying love of liberty ancof country.

Sentiments Expressed on Leading Quel'tlons by Men From Each State.

The following Is the sentiment as ex-pressed by the delegates from the variousstates on the vice presidential and otherQuestions:

Minnesota — The Minnesota delegatlor.met this morning to consider the advis-ability of placing; the name of ex-SenatorW. D. Washburn of that state before theconvention for vice president. It is be-lieved to be almost certain that the dele-gation will decide to honor the ex-senatorand Cushman K. Davis will be the manto make the nominating speech. Manyof the delegates have expressed them-selves as being in favor of naming Mr.WashbOrn and to vote for him until acandidate is decided upon.

Rhode Island—Rhode Island is for Longfor vice president on the first ballot. Ifthe Massachusetts man stands a goodshow on the succeeding votes then thedelegation will stand by him; otherwisethey will switch to Dolliver.,."Rhode.,Is-land is well down in the list of states,"said one of the delegates, "and If we cansee who is likely to be named by the timeour state is called, we will vote for thatman. It would be foolish if we did not."

New Jersey—The action of the New Jer-sey delegation to support Long for sec-ond place on the ticket is not consideredbinding the delegates from that state.Senator Sewell, the chairman of thedelegation, and who is an administrationman, Is responsible for the New Jerseymen supporting Mr. Long. If the admin-istration should give a hint that it is fotsome other candidate the delegation willbe the first to turn in for that man.

Indiana—"If Roosevelt's name is placedbefore the convention for vice presidentthe Indiana delegation will be for him toa man," said one of the Hoosier delegates.Their second choice is DolliveF. There isno sentiment in the delegation for Longbut if the administration should come outfor the secretary of the navy it is believedthat the delegates would support himSome of them would liked to have namedSenator Fairbanks but a majority of themthink he is more useful in the senate.

Maryland—The contest for nationalcommitteeman in the Maryland delega-tion resulted yesterday In the election oiSenator MoComas over Mayor Malster olBaltimore by a vote of 11 to 5. The Balti-more city delegates were a unit In votingagainst IMoComas. The delegates met to-day to decide on their action regardingthe vice presidency.

Kentucky-The Kentucky delegation heloa conference to consider the vice presi-dential situation. The delegates came In-structed for former Governor Bradley, butIn view of the popularity of GovernorRoosevelt It was deemed expedient tochange their plans. During the consul-tation Mr. Bradley positively refused tchave his name presented to the conven-tion. The delegation was polled and It Itsaid will vote solidly for any candidatesatisfactory to the administration.

California—After two days of uncertain-ty, the California delegation has decidedto support Secretary Long for vice presi-dent. Some of the delegates would beglad to vote for Governor Roosevelt, butthey are Inclined to take him at his wordand refrain from voting for him. GeorgeKnight, chairman of the delegation, salethat, in the circumstances, It would castIts 16 votes for Long. The secretary olthe navy Is very popular, not only InCalifornia, but all along the Pacific coast,jnd with Governor Roosevelt out of thirace, he probably will. In the opinion oihis California friends, receive generoussupport from that section.

It was very undemonstrative at first.While the crowds and delegates werefunneling into the hall before the hourfor calling the convention to order hadarrived, there were no wild greetings ofparty leaders. A scattering aplause metMr. Hanna as he made his way to thestage. General Grosvenor, Senator Lodge,Senator Foraker, ex-Senator Quay and afew others aroused a fluttering of hand-kerchiefs and a round of handclapping,but men of national reputation whosefame has spread away from our shoresacross both oceans entered without pro-ducing a ripple.

Chairman Hanna's reception when hecalled the convention to order and laterwhen he made a brief address, was flat- SEND OREtering in the extreme and the smile onhU broad lace betrayed the pleasure itgave him. But the enjoyment he exper-ienced over his own reception seemednothing? compared with the delight hemanifested when the first time he men-tioned the president's name, the con-vention went off like a rocket. Thecheering was deafening the Ohio delega-tion leading in the demonstration. Mr.Hanna's face was a picture. It waswreathed in smiles. He showed the ec-stacy of the Joy he felt over the stormof approval he bad raised. Many in thatmoment, remembered how the president'sWarwick had announced a year ago thathU ambition would be satisfied and hiscap of Joy would be full when he calledtogether the convention that would re-nominate McKinley.
