Columbls, Ohio, Alareh lv. The Republican State convention, which concluded yesterday afternoon its sessions of two days, was more of a McKnlev rally than the usual party business assembly. It was held two or three months earlier than usual, iu order to proclaim to the coun'ry the sentiment of AlcKinleys Mate. Not since the indorsement of R. B.

Hayes for the presidency at the Republican State convention iu ha- there been such a harmonious meeting of representative Republicans in Ohio. The platform denounces the national, administration: makes the ilrongest possible declaration for the principle of protection; characterizes the present tariff law as the sublimated product of Democratic ignor-nce and incompetency; indorses reciprocity' that reciprocates; takes a firm stand for the Alonroe doctrine; denounces the piesent pension policy and instructs the delegates to St. Louis to stand by Melvin ley. The financial plank is as follows: BIMLTAI.I.ISM J. DOUSED.

We contend for honest money: for a currency- of gold, silver and paper with which to measure our exchange, that shall be as sound as the government and as untarished as its honor; and to that end we favor bimetallism, and demand the ii-e of both gold and silver as standard money, either in accordance to an international agreement, it that can be obtained, or under such restrictions and such provisions to be determined by legislation as will secure the maintenance of the parities of the values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal.

Des Moi-XES, Iowa, March 12. The Republican State convention was, without doubt, the most enthusiastic ever held in the State. The convention was, from beginning to end, an Allison convention. It was manifest that he was the first and last choice of the Republicans of Iowa. Foul-thousand people were present.

Worn with the exposure of army life on the frontier, and poisoned by the continual drinking of alkali water, Joseph Flegauf returned to Philadelphia eight years ago. broken down in health and unable to do any work. He had served five years with the Ninth United States Infantry in many a desperate fight with the Indians in Arizona and other frontier states and had won an enviable record.

In the fierce conflict when Geronlmo. the famous chief of the Apaches, was captured, Mr. Fleugauf xvas among the brave soldiers who, forgetful of everything but duty, charged upon the hostile Indians. Life on the plains sent to an untimely death many soldiers who were never touched by a redskins bullet or arrow, as that. A long time before his time was out he was taken seriously ill, but he stuck to bis post until an honorable discharge was finally given to him.

When he reached Philadelphia, the Tadian fighter was scarcely more than skin and bones, and for three weeks he lay desperately ill in a hospital. He felt dizzy, and his stomach felt as if it had dried up. These symptoms were accompanied by bloody dysentery, which no medicine seemed to relieve. After two years of suffering, Mr. Flegauf came to New York and was treated by several physicians.

These did not agree, some calling his disease catarrh of the stomach, and others chronic diarrhoea. In speaking to a reporter about his illness Mr. Flegauf the doctors helped him, but. with, all the money he spent for advice and medicine, he was able to work only a small part of the time. Since moving to fcis present home.

No. 517 West Forty-second street, in New York, about a year ago, Mr. Flegauf has been so ill that his voice and hearing almost left him. Then all medicines failed, and the sick man had little hope of recovery. At this critical time Dr.

Williams Blnk Pills for Pale People were recommended to Mr. Flegauf. and, almost as a last hope, he began taking them. The beneficial effect of the medicine was felt at once, Mr. Flegauf told the reporter, and before I had taken a box I began to eat with relish.

Three boxes made me so much better that I began work and have been able to keep at It for five months.
