WILL HISTORY BE REPEATED?
THE republican party is an outgrowth of the old
Whig Party. Id convention assembled at Albany,
New York, that party adopted a resolution condemn-
ing the action of President Van Buren and the ad-
ministration in dictating to the democratic convention
the nomination of Lewis and Cass, and the adoption
of certain planks in the platform.
The people of the country resented the interfer-

It appeared as if he were saying to the convention—

I won't go in without you tie my hands so I can't fol-
low the practice of my past life." And then they
tied him with a slip knot.—Purcell Register.

Look at the punishment meted out to those re-

can anyone recall that Mr. Roosevelt, or Mr. L aft, or a .
any republican leader, has ever done anything to help
them, or even so much as said a good word for them ?
No! Relief does not lie in the Republican party, Tins pretty story is told by the Nebraska City
for the machinery of that party is owned by corrupt (Neb.) Times: "A young lady, in hastily turning a

over. Stopping as soon as she could and retracing
her steps she said very kindly : 'I beg your pardon,
my little fellow. I am very sprry that I ran against
yov.' The little fellow was wlioly amazed; he looked
at tbe lady a moment and then taking off his tattered
cap, made a graceful bow and said, as his face lit up
with a smile: 'You have my pardon miss, and ye're
welcome to it. And say, the next time you run ag'in
me, ye kin knock me clean down and I won't say a
word.' After the lady had passed on, the boy said
to a companion : 'I say Jim, it's fine to have some-
body asking your pardon, ain't it?"
Don't be a knocker, but a booster.
Just a month from tomorrow the primary will
be held.
It will be Bryan by acclamation at the Conven-
tion at Denver Tuesday.
The city council should arrange for a general
clean-up. It is badly needed.
Three of tbe largest piano manufacturing con-
cerns have been merged into a harmonious trust.
If our business men would put a little more en-
ergy into their business, they would profit greatly
thereby.
Tomorrow is the Fourth and everybody should
celebrate. They should also sing praises of Oklaho-
ma, the 4<Sth star.
Wm. J. Bryan will be nominated at the conven-
tion at Denver Tuesday, and elected by an overwhelm-
ing vote in November.
Everybody has a glad hand for tbe man who
boosts his town, while they pay no attention to the
man who is continually trying to run the town down.
Pay no attention to tbe knocker. He amounts to
nothing, and should be overlooked. What we need
in Lexington is some ttore good, sound boosters.

you should not allow your stomach to
become disordered, and when the stom-
ach goes wrong take Kodol. This is
the best known preperation that is of-
erei to the people today for dyspepsia
or ind igestion or any stomach trouble.
Kodol digests all fonda. It is pleasant
to take. It is sold lure by
