raised up all over the patch and said
"Hurrah for Bryan!"
Last week we had comparative
quiet along the political line with
now and then a howl coming from
the timber about how things are go
ing on. I think but few changes have
taken place at present. Monday night
Judge DeArmond spoke to a large
audience in the Christian church. As
the hall would not accommodate half
the people, the church officers kindly
opened the church for the benefit of
their neighbors who wanted to hear
Judge DeArmond. They will long be
remembered for their kindness shown
on that night. People of all parties
were out to hear the talk and every
thins went off quietly. The Judgre
did not say much about the tariff
question, but thought the income tax
urincinle was all ritrht.

Toledo, O , Oct. 10, 1896. Dear
Sir: Your letter came iu and noted.
You make us feel better at the poht
ical situation, but we have had three
polls here iu a 4,000 mjority district
and dare not announce the result.
We have 10,000 idle men in our
city alone who are anxious for a
change, and we fear the labor vote
is solid against McKinley.
We claim Ohio by 150,000 to
300,000, but our wisest men are not
doing anything but claiming. Why,
every straw that we can obtain
shows labor unions here arc about
278 for Bryan and 1 for McKinley,
and this is his own state. As soon
as the new corn moves are trust we
can work 6ome from you.
Yours truly.

TRIES TO CONTROL VOTES.
St. Louis Dry Goods Merchant May Gtt

St Louis, Mo , Oct. 11 Consid
erable of a furore has been created
in local political circles over the dis
charge of twelve clerks by Mr. Du-
gald Crawford, proprietor of a large
dep.irtuu-rt store in this city, for the
reason, it is a'.lejrd, that they in
tended to vote for William J. Bryan
for President.
Chairman S. B. Cook of the demo
oratic State central committee has
erjgaged ex Governor Charles P.
Johnson, a noted criminal lawyer, to
take tbe case up and cause Mr.
Crawford's conviction under section
3742 of the Revised Statutes of Mis
souri, which make his alleged ofiense
a misdemeanor, punishable by im
prisonment. The Missouri corrupt practice act,
Mr. Cook said, is also applicable to
this case.
In the course of an interview to
night Chairman Cook said: "Citi
zens of the city of St Louis have
subscribed ample funds to defray
the legitimate expeases of prosecut
ing violators of this law, and the
Democratic State committee will, as
far as it is in its power, protect every
man in the exercise of his elective
franchise, and vigorously prosecute
every person who, by intimidation,
coercion or other unlawful means
undertakes to prevent any man from
exercising the sovereign right of an
Americau citizen'
Find His Wife Doail.
Nevavla, Mo., Oct 13 The wife
of C D. Smith, a farmer living thir
teen miles east of this city, was
found dead iu the house this after
noon, with her head crushed. Her
husband was digging potatoes in a
field some distance away, and his
wife was alone in tbe house when he
went away. It is supposed she was
murdered by a tramp.

Washington, D. C, Oct. 9. Col.
Richard Bright, who has just return
ed from Indiana, believes that state
will give Bryan 25,000 majority. He
has traveled through all sectione,
i paHieuliuly through the farmirj"
regions, and finds the silver senti
ment rapidly growing. Farmers, he
saye, whq have all their lives voted
the republican ticket are now lining
up with Bryan, because they liDd
more hope for relief f i om the oppres
sion of debts and low prices from
the triumph of the democratic party
than in the success of the supporters
of the gold stundard
Col Bright was particularly iui
pressed with the obliteration of
party lines iu every direction. Eti
mates based upon former political
results ha considers worthless and
believes that the victory of the
Democratic party at the polls in
November iu Iudiana will be won by
a majority fully up to the figures
given.
Col Bright is peifectly familiar
with Indiana politics, as he has lived
all bis life in that state. The can
vass made from which he derived
his estimate was the entire state by
counties.

St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 13. Dougald
Crawford, the big dry goodn merch
ant who discharged a baker's dozen
of his men last Saturday because
they announced their intention of
votiug for Bryan and Sewall, has re
pented his action, and to day, over
his own signature, in a public lettfr
B&ya he will take the men back. In
part he eaye:
"I have invited all the men to re
turn to my store and to occupy their
former several positions, without
prejudice as regards the future, and
without loss of salary 6iuce they
left my employ.
A man in anger often makes mis
takes, but I do not believe he loses
any of his manhood by admitting
his error. I desire every man in my
employ to vote as he pleases, but I
believe every man who carefully
studies existing conditions should
vote for McKinley.
To allow all of my employers to
vote as they please, and have ample
time to do so, I have decided to
close the store of D. Crawford &
Compauy at 1 p. m., oa November
3d."
MURDER OF A STOCKMAN.
Wyatt Williiins, Well Know n iii Kan
srs City, w Killed.
Ardmore, I. T., Oct. 11 The
murder of W. Williams, a prominent
and well-known stock man of Texas
and the Indian Territory, in this
city last night, by Bud Watkins, and
the sensational midnight chase and
capture of the murderer by United
States Marshals Booker and Tucker,
assisted by Hon C. D. Carter, who
with a Winchester at the head of
the prisoner, forced his surrender,
has created the greatest excitement
known in the Territory since the
killing of Bill Dalton.
Williams was a former cattle king,
well known in Chicago, St. Louis,
Kansas City and the West general
ly, and leaves a wife and four child
ren. Bud Watkins, the slayer, admits
his guilt, but says he shot in self
defeuse, which is denied by half
a dozen witnesses, al! of whom say
Williams was shot twice before he
pulled his gun, and that as he fell,
dying, he fired one shot, and died
with his pistol cocked in his nerve
less hand.
The United States court and
grand jury are in session, and it is
the intention of the officials to give
the prisoner a speedy trial, as this
is the first murder in Ardmore since
the courts haTe had complete juris
diction, and the charge that justice

can not be done by local jurors will
be refuted by an immediate arraign
ment and trial. While the excite
ment is intense and the streets
crowded with earnest men, no at
tempt at lynching has or will be j
made, everyone beiug satisfied to let
the law take its course. Public sen
timent is strong against Watkins,
who has a touh record.
To Soldier of Silver
Washington, D. C , Oct. 13 The
National Association of Democratic
clubs to-day issued an appeal to all
club members to do all within their
power to bring out a full democratic
vote ou election day. The members
are urged to heed the request of Mr.
Bryan that the club members remain
at the polls all of election day, tbi.t
each appoint himself a missionary
and that as far as possible each fur
nish a conveyance to bring to the
polls democrats who otherwise would
not vote. The association's appeal
says much depends in a great degree
upon club organizations and that
each member do duty as a willing
volunteer.
KNOCKED OUr

Courts.
New York, Oct. 12. Supreme
Court Justice Clement in Brooklyn
this morning decided that the name
''.National Democratic Party" is sub
stantially the same under election
law as "Democratic Party." This
practically nullifies the decistou of
Secretary of State Palmer, in which
he allows the state candidates of tbe
so called National Democratic Party
to have a space on the official ballot.
