Atlanta, Dec. 11. —Hon. Fleming Du Bignon had a large audience in the hall of the house of representatives before which to make his speech on the issues of the day. It was Mr. Du Bignon’s formal entry into the contest with ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp and Secretary Hoke Smith for the United States senate to succeed General John B. Gordon. The latter’s term expires March 4, 1897, and the leg islature elected next October will choose the senator. General Gordon has an nounced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. There was much curiosity as to Mr. Du Bignon’s views on the financial question. Nothing definite was known as to his position on the great issue of day. It may have been that the silver men looked for him to lean their way a little. It had been said by his friends that he would take a middle course be tween Judge Crisp and Secretary Smith. But Mr. Du Bignon was very positive in his statements. He declared himself to be against the free coinage of silver by this country at 16 to 1, or any other arbitrary ratio. He enumerated several reasons for his opposition to free coin age, chief among them being the famil iar arguments that it would depreciate and cheapen the country’s currency, drive out gold, derange financial values, make the United States the dumping grounds for the world’s silver, and de prive our surplus products of a foreign market. He denied that he was in favor of a bimetallic standard if the metals could be kept at a parity. He favored the use of silver to the extent that it is absorb ed by commerce. He favored the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state banks. Mr. Du Bignon spoke eloquently for more than an hour without referring a single time to note or memorandum, al though frequently quoting statistics and the words of public men of the past.

THE ROME TRIBLTJNn, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12. 181)5. “I WILL STAND PAT” These Were the Last Words of Murder er Hayward. MISS GING’S DEATH IS AVENGED The Fiend Never Lost His Nerve and Was DECIDEDLY THE COOLEST MAN AT THE Execution— He Marched Cooly to His Doom as if He Were Going to a Society Function. London, Dec. 11. —The United States embassy was besieged by newspaper re porters anxious to obtain the views of Ambassador Bayard, upon the demand for his impeachment which was made in the house of representatives at Wash ington by Congressman William F. Barrett of Massachusetts, on the ground that he insulted in the country to which he is accredited, the people he repre sents, in speeches delivered at Boston, England, and at Edinburgh, Scotland, on Aug. 2 and Nov. 7 respectively. But all attempts to induce Mr. Bayard or his staff to discuss the matter failed, while the British officials also declined to made any statements on the subject. The St. James Gazette thinks that Mr. Bayard “May resign after such an attack.” “If so,,’ The Gazette adds, “the loss will be regretted by all who have come in contact with such a fine example of a dignified, eloquent American statesman. But Mr. Bayard’s indiscretion was so deliberate that we doubt if he did not contemplate this result. After all, we too, should resent it if our ministers made similar statements.” The Westminster Gazette remarks: “Up to the hour of going to press Mr. Bayard had not fled to Hatfield. Wheth er he seeks refuge in the tower of Lon don remains to be seen.” The. Globe ridicules the impeachment idea and adds: “The Republican majority is not un reasonably annoyed that Mr. Bayard permitted" himself the freedom of speech, which is impossible to diplomats of the old world. Although Mr. Bayard refuses to be interviewed regarding the action of Mr. Barrett, he has stated that he does not intend to tender his resignation. The Evening Standard, commenting on the affair, says: “The pettiness of party warfare in the United States was never more clear ly displayed. Mr. Bayard has gained the food will of all classes here. The United States has always been singu larly fortunate in the selection of its ambassadors to Great Britain and Mr. Bayard has proved himself worthy of the foremost rank. This petty outburst of spite upon the part of a political clique will not tend to increase our feel ing of respect for American politicians.” AT THE EXPOSITION. A Large Crowd From Tennessee, Florida and Other Places. Atlanta. Dec. 11.—The weather has once more smiled on the exposition, and after two days’ rain, bright sunshine greeted the crowds from Chattanooga, Florida, Rome and other points, which claimed the day as their part of the ex position calendar. Trains brought in about 3,200 people from Chattanooga. F. nr trains from Florida arrived with 1,50,1, -who come to represent that state at the exposition. About .200 came in from Rome and a smaller delegation from Putnam coun ty. The Georgia, Southern and Fiori ida railroad also claims the day and will send up a trainload from the wiregrass region of Georgia. The parade in honor of Chattanooga organized at 12 o’clock on the exposi tion grounds and speeches were made there by President Collier, Mayor Ochs and others. FIRED INTO A TRAIN.

J 11 BAYARD WAS MOM He Refused to Talk of the Attempted Im peachment. LONDON DISCUSSES THE SUBJECT The General Opinion Is That the Ambassador Was | RATHER INDISCREET IN UTTERANCES But Impeachment be to Pun isbment-St. James Gazette Thinks He Might Resign, Minneapolis, Dec. 11.—Withagamo ler’s phrase upon his lips and a cold smile upon his face, Harry Hayward faced the eternal. “Pull her tigltf; I’ll stand pat.” These were the last words he uttered, as the deputy, with blanched face and trembling hands, pulled the well soaped noose as tigVy about the murderer’s neck as he c * in order that death might come toe -nore quickly and the more surely. • it was 12 minutes past 2 o’clock when Sheriff Holmberg pull-e l the lever and thus released the trap upon whi'-h Hay ward stood. In just 13 minutes County Physician Frank Burton declared that the swinging figure, in which not a movement or struggle had been ob served, was that of a dead man. The final action in the % great tragedy of life and death b.,d been played ami the cur tain had been rung down on the career of the chief actor. The coolest man at his own execution was Hany Hayward. Debonair as ever, what had seemed mere affectation and effrontery during his jail days, now be came in the groat dimly lighted gallows room the courage and indifference of a man who was at least not afraid to die. Not a man of the little knot of privi leged spectators who had kept a long vigil in the big gray room but whose heart thumped more loudly than that one which was so soon to cease its beat ing; not a face but turned more ghastly than his in the gruesome light. It was a scene never to be forgotten, when at last after what had seemed endless hours of waiting, the death march appeared at the door. The one gas jet had been turned off, i'ld the room was illuminated only by ... locomotive -headlight suspended about four feet from the floor, opposite the scaffold. The huge cone of Jight threw a horrid, distorted shadow of the engine of death on the rough whitewashed stone wall behind. Two nooses were discernible, both well tried and tested, one being held in reserve. A deputy sheriff had carefully chalked two cir cles where the feet of the doomed man were to stand, and had outlined the trap that there might be no mistake in the uncertain light. The chief deputy mounted the scaf fold, where Warden Wolfe of the state penitentiary. ex-Sheriff Winn Brackett and Sheriff Chappell of. St. Paul were already waiting and directed that every ha tbe removed and that there be no smoking. A cordon of policemen filed in and made a little passage way for the death party. Meanwhile, the prisoner had been made ready in the cell room, his black silk robe had been put on and the black cap adjusted. Suddenly the door was thrown wide open and the sound of an inarticulate yell floated in from the cell room, where the prisoner’s comrades were taking their farewell; then three hoarse cheers for the sheriff, Holmberg, led by Hayward himself, and ending with, “He’s all right.” It was awful. Such a demonstration led by a man on his way to meet death! As its echoes died away, the sheriff ap peared, followed by tbe prisoner be tween Deputies Bright and Anderson, and Deputy Megarden bringing up the rear. Harry Hayward entered the death chamber with the same easy stride that marked his promenades when he was a youth in society. “Good evening, gentlemen,” said he in clear, even tones as he bowed his way into the room, wearing his sombre garb so jauntily that its grotesquenese was forgotten. As he made his way ud the stairs to the scaffold he tripped on his unaccustomed gown. This aroused him and he laughed at the first step. As he strode upon the trap the deputies looked more like frightened children hanging to a parent than officers of the law. Harry Hayward might have posed for a figure of justice defending the weak in stead of a murderer going to his doom. Carefully placing his feet on the marked spots, he drew his splendid figure to its greatest height and glanced about with the calm face occasionally brightened by a smile of recognition as he descried some friend in the crowd. Upon being asked if lie had anything i to say, he replied in a careless, drawl- i ing tone, “Well, yes.” He moistened his lips with his tongue. “Well, to you all,” he began, “there is a good deal of curiosity and wonder at my action, | and some of you think that I am a very devil”—with a peculiar drawling ac cent on the first syllable of that word— “and if you all knew my whole life you would think so all the more. I have dictated th- full statement on all ray life to Mr. Edward Goodsell, Mr. J. T. Mannix an<. a stenographer. Lqt’s see, what’s that stenographer’s name?” and Hayward peered down over the edge of his scaffold as if expecting some''one to answer. I “Where’s Uline?” he wont on, some- | what disconnectedly. “Uline here? I promised to take his dog with me under my arm to make him a record. It would be a good thing for the dog. Doyle, you told me to bow to you. are you? Aren’t you here? I < ' cam see you,” and tne speaker peered about for the detective. “I’m here, Harry,” called out Doyle. “Well, then,good evening, Mr. Doyle,” said the prisoner, smiling graciously and bowing. Then, taking another tack, he called out: “Clemens, did you get that ticket?” A hat was shoved up into the cone of light in assent. “Ah, that’s good. Mannix, let me ! see now,” and Hayward hesitated with embarrassment of a man who has for ; gotten his speech. “Take your time,” said Sheriff Holm ' berg. “Let me see now, I certainly had ■ something to say to Mannix, because I 1 have always entertained the kindest feelings for him. Joe, remind me of what it was; you know I have been hav ing trouble with my memory lately.” “Say nothing more in that line,” came in low distinct tones from Man nix. “You are about to meet your God and should express here your forgive nessforyour brother, as you did so nobly to me, and with t houghts of your moth er and father before you, should act as you have during the last 48 hours, meet ing death manfully, and forgiving all those toward whom you have borne any ill will up to this time.” “Forgive h*n?” said Harry, as Man nix finished. “Well, I have freely for given him for any imaginary wrong he thinks he has done me. He has done me no wrong. I have done him a great wrong. Father Cleary, Father Timo thy and Father Christy have taken great interest in me, and have exerted themselves greatly about my spiritual welfare. I have the greatest respect for each of them. For John Day Smith, my lawyer, also. He is a good man and a Christian as well as a lawyer, and I have promised him to say something here tonight which I should probably not have said of my own accord.” With an effort Hayward turned his eyes upward and repeated in a strident, meaningless voice, quite different from the conversational one he had been using, “Oh, God, for Christ’s sake for give all my sins.” An empty mockery that, or the cry of a soul unused to prayer. Later events showedit to be probably the former— just to keep promise. Satisfied apparently that all has been done that he had intended he half turn ed his head, and flung back over his shoulders, “I guess that’s all. Now Phil Megarden go ahead.” The traps were quickly adjusted. As the noose settled down over his head he said: “Let’s see, where does the knot go, under the right ear. No, it’s the left, isn’t it? Please pull it tight. That’s good. Keep your courage up, gentle men.” The prisoner’s face purpled slightly as the noose tightened and the visor of the black cap was turned down. It was Harry’s last glimpse of earth. “Pull her tight; I’ll stand pat,” he said. . Megarden stepped back, raised his hand in the fatal signal, and like a shot the body dropped through the open* trap. There was not a tremor or struggle and the spectators waited breathlessly while the doctors listened to the flutter ing heart. Thirteen long minutes passed. Dr. Burton stepped back and the spectators began to file out. A deputy loosened the trap that bound the hands. They fell inert at the side of the body. Harry Hayward was dead. THE LYNCHERS’ DEFENSE. Declare the Negroes Were Not Beaten to Death, but Died From Exposure. Columbia, Dec. 11.—For the lynching of the three negroes in Colleton county last week the friends of the four white men who did the work make the follow ing defense in a card for publication: Several months ago the negro Isham Kearse attempted to assault criminally a married lady of good family in the vicini ty of Jenny’s postcffice. lie furthermore was charged with burning Folk Bros.’ store in upper Colleton. He was looked upon generally as an outlaw, and white men of lower Barnwell and upper Colle ton, aided by the negroes oi that district, have been exercising all diligence to cap ture him. Their combined efforts, how ever. proved futile until last Monday night. Recently some petty theft was committed from St. Nicholas ebrrch, and in following up tbe clews conn-.. ad with the same the long sought or Isham Kearse, who proved to lie the thief, was I located and captured. Isam Kearsr’s mother proved to’be his ! accomplice, whereupon she was taken out I and whipped. She was by no means se verely beaten as represented but died from freezing as testified to by Dr. litres. who held the post mortem examination. Her exposure to the cold was her own fault as on tbe following morning her tracks show ed that she left the scene of her chastise ment in the direction of home, and alter pursuing her course across the field, she turned and went into the swamp and fell into the water where she was found. Isam Kearse was severely beaten, but not enough to cause death. He took from his pocket a bottle of whisky and drank every drop of it. It can now he proven that he had stolen said bottle of, whisky from a negro in the neighborhood, and that t.ha ' same was doctored for his especial benefit by the darky, from whom he bad stolen whis'ty before. The parties who waited on these negroes had no idea of killing anybody, and none of them believe that they did but that 1 death in each case was from a combina tion of circumstances, as stated above. Tiiere are other mitigating circum stances which will be proven that will put quite a new face on this transaction, but at pr sent the defendants do not see fit to divulge them. This is signed “Citizens in and around Folks’ Store." Died of Appoplexy. Warrensburg, Mo., Dec. 11.—A. M. { Zimmerman, aged 70 years, wealthy and influential, died of appoplexy while . driving. He was a large property hold er here and in Harrisburg, Pa., ABOUT FEDERATION The Annual Convention Being Held in New York. WORK IS PROGRESSING VERYSLOWLY The Main Obstruction is the Contested Seats IN THE CONVENTION, A MATTER Which is Usua’ly Diep ssd of the First Day i The Question of Organizations in tbe Ranks Brought Up. J New York, Dec. 11.—So slowly has the work of the American Federation of Labor progressed that instead of ad journment being reached on Friday or by Saturday noon at the latest, which was the original program, that it is not likely that the election of officers will be reached before Monday, and possibly Tuesday of next week. The main ob struction is the contested scats in th« 4 convention, a matter which is usually disposed of on the first day of the an- j nual convention. At the opening session the credentials 4 committee reported, the convention con- I curriiig, that W. E. Ward, ciaiming to . represent a painters’ union, a dual or- j ganization, be denied a seat, feubse- I queutly the subject of duality of organ ization with the ranks of the federa tion was brought up by Vico President T. J. Elderkin, who predicted that un- j less the conditions were corrected the fl federation w- uld fall under the control 1 of antagonistic elements. Insi-auciug 1 the case of 119 lodges of the Brewery Employes’ National union, a small ma- I jority of which are attached to the , Knights of Labor, Mr. Elderkiu said: “These Knights of Labor a c <emblies have a national trade assembly, and meet in national convention and secret ly legislate for the National Brewery Employes’ union. As a result, a great national union attached to the federa tion is controlled absolutely by an inner circle of the Knights of Labor.” As a remedv for this cond: tion a reso lution was offered to the effect that hereafter a seat shall be refused to any representative whose organization has within its ranks any other organization comprising less than the total member ship. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Main Details For the Big Meeting at St. Louis Arranged. Washington, Dec. 11.—The main de tails of the Republican national conven- ' tion at St. Louis on June 16 were per fected at a meeting of the subcommittee appointed to take charge of arrange ments. Messrs. Kerens and Thompson, representing St. L mis, were present at the meeting, and gave assurances that the plans proposed would be speedily executed. The committee agreed that the seat ing arrangements of the St. Louis ex position building needed remodelling. At present the rostrum is at one end of the vast hall, so that the people at the other end are too far away to hear what , is going on. It was decided to have the rostrum placed midway and at one side of the hall, with seats of delegates ar ranged accordingly. A diagram of the change is to be completed by the St. Louis people by the time the subcom mittee reassembles. It will show the' central arrangement and will designate the seats of each state delegation. The alterations of the b.,..ding probably will cost $15,000. The question allotting the tickets brought out r»ucn animated discussion. The exposition building accommodates 15,000 people, but these limits are ex pected to be severely taxed. It is understood that an understand ing was reached that the St. Louis local committee would not control mere tha,n 3,000 tickets and that of these 500 should go to veterans of the war and 500 to distinguished guests. The national committee, it is understood, will con trol the balance of the tickets, as well as retaining a supervisory authority over ’ the 3,000 tickets going to St. Louis. The subcommittee adjourned to meet in St. Louis the latter part of January, the date to be announced hereafter. They will personally inspect the hall and all other features of the convention. Chairman Carter expects to issue the formal call for the national convention within the next day or two. It is im perative that it is issued by the fifteenth inst. in order to give full six months notice for the election of delegates to the convention. a. iufining: Schooner.
