WORSE THAN YELOW JACK.
The Hated Yellow Envelope Containing
Clerks' Discharges.
Employes of the Treasury Thoroughly
Worked Up Over Recent Dismissals
Under the Dockery Law—The Ax, so

News From Washington.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The controller
of the currency has declared a third divi
dend of 10 per cent, in favor of the cred
itors of the State National Bank of Knox
ville, Tenn., making in all 55 per cent.
Employes of the treasury department
are thoroughly worked up over the dis
charges now being made to carry into
effect the reorganization provided by the
Dockery commission. So far the “axe”
has fallen most heavily upon the
women employed, and many high
priced female clerks have been dis
charged. The scenes to-day and Sat
urday when the dreaded yellow
envelope containing the discharge was
handed to the victims, were in many
cases pathetic. It was not unusual to
have a half dozen groups of crying clerks
in one bureau. Many of the female clerks
discharged have been long in the service,
and one case is mentioned of a woman who
was among the first ever appointed to
government office by United States Treas
urer Spinner, over thirty-five years ago.
Twelve clerks were discharged to-day.
The gold reserve increased to-day nearly
$400,000. standing at the close of business
in the treasury at 157,480,351.
MOVEMENT OF WAR SHIPS.
The first matter that occupied the at
tention of Secretary Herbert to-day,,
when he returned to the navy depart
ment, after five weeks’ absence, was that
of reinforcing the Asiatic squadron and,
after a brief consultation with Secretary
Gresham, he issued preliminary orders
to the commanders of the Machias and
Detroit to prepare to proceed to China as
soon as possible.
The Machias is ordered to be put into
commission at the New York navy yard
to-morrow. She will be ready for sea in
about three weeks, and will sail as soon
as she is joined by the Detroit, which is
now being repaired at Norfolk, lhe Ma
*chias will carry the Columbian relics
which wereexhibited at Chicago last year,
leaving those belonging to Spain at Cadiz,
and returning the Vatican collection to
Rome. The relics will be sent over to
New York in charge of a state department
official and a marine guard, and they will
be delivered at their destinations’ with
considerable ceremony. The Detroit and
Machias are expected to reach China
early in December.
Secretary Gresham this afternoon re
ceived a cablegram from Consular Agent
Alfred Cooper at La Libertad, announc
ing the death of Consul General Alexan
der L. Pollock, at Salvador, from yellow
fever. Mr. Pollock was a native of Aus
tria* but was a citizen of Utah when he
was sent to Salvador, Sept. 28, last year.
IMPORTANT MILITARY CHANGES.
The sweeping general orders providing
for tho concentration of the United States
army at the great railway centers was is
sued from headquarters this afternoon.
It is in substance as follows:
“Ten of the twenty-five infantry regi
ments are concentrated at single posts.
The abandoned posts are Fort Wood, on
Bedloe’s Island, New York harbor;
Fort Ontario, near Oswego, N. Y.;
Newport Barracks, Kentucky; Mount
Vernon Barracks, Alabama: Fort Macki
nac, Michigan; Camp Pilot, Butte, Wyo
ming; Fort Bowie and Fort Sancarlos,
Arizona; Fort Marcy and Fort Supply,
Indian Territory.
The regiments to come east in whole or
in part are tho Third and Sixth cavalry,
the Thirteenth and Seventeeth infantry,
while the whole Twentieth Infantry
takes station at Fort Leavenworth.
The department of the east will be in
creased by nineteen companies, while the
Platte loses seven, Colorado four and
Dakota eight. The east will now have
119 companies at thirty-one posts, but
there will still remain west of the Missis
sippi, forty-nine posts garrisoned bv 245
companies. Davis Island, Pa., will be oc
cupied by the First artillery after Oct. 1.
Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., will have four
troops of the third cavalry.
LETTERS OF INQUIRY.
A great many letters have beed received
at the treasury department recently mak
ing Inquiries.concerning the coinage of
silver dollars, and the redemption and
cancellation of treasury notes, and in
order to avoid the labor of repeating tho
information in answer to each letter,
Secretary Carlisle to-day dictated a mem
orandum on the subject for publication.
The memorandum quotes the first, sec
ond and third sections of the Sherman
act, under which the silver now held by
lhe treasury was purchased, and says;

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1894.
The latest investiga
tions by the U. S. and
Canadian Governments
i
show the Royal Baking
Powder superior to all
others in purity and
leavening strength.
Statements by other manufacturers to the
contrary have been declared by the official au

deemed treasury notes may be reissued,
it also in the same section, imposes an ex
press limitation upon the power to reissue,
by declaring that, “No greater or less
amount of such notes shall be outstanding
at any time than the cost of the silver
bullion and the standard silver dollars
coined therefrom, then held in the treas
ury purchased by such notes.”
When such notes are redeemed in gold
there is no obstacle In the way of their
reissue, because such redemption doesnot
affect the stock of silver held in the treas
ury under the act of July 14. 1890; but
when they arc redeemed with silver coined
from the bullion purchased under that
act, they must be retired and cancelled,
for otherwise, there would be, after the
redemption and reissue, a greater
amount of notes outstanding than the
cost of the silver originally purchased
and. then held in the treasury; and this
is expressly prohibited by the statutes.
The purpose of congress was to prevent
the duplication of the currency, which
would be the case if the notes and the
silver purchased with the notes could be
outstanding at the same time.
Treasury notes received in the ordinary
course of business or redeemed in Hold or
exchanged for silver dollars not coined
from the bullion purchased under the act
of July 14, 1890, are not retired and can
celled. AU such notes are reissued.
Prior to July 1, 1891, standard silver dol
lars to the amount of 1416,318,264 were
coined from the bullion purchased under
that act. The so-called gain or seignior
age arising from this coinage was
$6,837,808, which was paid into the treas
ury as a miscellaneous receipt, leaving
*29,480,461 to be held as a fund to provide
for the redemption of the treasury no.tes,
as provided by law.
At the beginning of, the present ad
ministration this sum-of $29,480,461 was
still in the treasury, and standard silver
dollars to the amount of $1,597,223 have
been coined since that time. Os this last
sum, however. $520,079 was seigniorage,
leaving $1,077,144 to be held in the treas
ury. It appears, therefore, that the
whole coinage under the act has been
$37,906,487, and that the amount to be
held in the treasury for redemption pur
poses was $30,557,607. Os this sum
$4,121,000 have been used in the redemp
tion of notes, and that amount has been
retired and cancelled. No treasury note
has been redeemed in silver unless silver
was demanded, the policy and practice of
the department having always been to re
deem in the kind of money demanded by
the holder of a note. The presentation
of treasury notes for redemption in silver
bullion began in August, 1893, when there
was a great scarcity of currency of small
denominations, and there was redeemed
during that month $1,273,267, which is the
largest amount that has been presented
during any one month.
As shown above, there were held in the
treasury at the beginning of this adminis
tration $29,480,461 in silver, coined from
the bullion purchased under the act of
July 14, 1890. Notwithstanding the fact
that $1,597,223 have been coined since
that time, there are now on hand only
$26,189,724.
. THE AX STILL FALLING.
Secretary Carlisle to-day asked for the
resignation of Jeremiah O’Rourke of New
ark, N. J., supervising architect of the
Treasury department. The letter re
questing his resignation was handed Mr.
O’Rourke shortly before 4 o’clock this
afternoon.
Mr. O’Rourke was appointed to his
present position by Secretary Carlisle
shortly after the advent of tho demo
cratic administration, and succeeded W.
J. Edbrooke of Chicago. He was one of a
dozen prominent applicants, and was
backed politically by Senators Smith and
McPherson of New Jersey, besides by a
number of prominent architects of the
north and east.
Several times within the past year he
has, in the conduct of his office, had fric
tion with his superior officers, and with
under-officials appointed by Secretary
Carlisle. One of the latest misunder
standings, it is said, took place with W.
B. Fleming, chief of the law and contract
division of his office. Mr. Fleming
is a personal friend of Secretary
Carlisle, and in his latest office
controversy he, it is said, upheld Mr.
Fleming. Mr. O’Rourke was born in
Ireland, and is about 45 years old. The
salary is about $4,500 per year, which is
one of the best in the treasury service,
and the position is one of vast responsi
bilities.
Trials of a Fireman.
From the Ohio State Journal.
“The public sometimes makes me very
tired,” remarked a fireman a day or two
ago. “How’s that? What kick have you
coming about the dear public?” “Why,
it never takes into account that we have
to work. It seems to have a gilt-edged
idea that we sit around the front of the
engine house in our shirt sleeves and
smoke and tell stories, occasionally get
ting up and going out to a fire by wav of
general amusement. I have known it en
tertained this idea for some time, but I
was never called on to untangle it as I
was to-day, when a city official—a city
official, mind you—passed our house, and,
getting into conversation with a few of
us, asked in the blandest and most guile
less way if we did day or night duty. It
eave me the most supreme satisfaction to
inform the gentleman that we worked
day, and night, all the time; Sundays,
Christmas, Fourth of July, and St. Pat
rick’s day. He even seemed surprised to
know that we slept in the house. I’ve
had a dozen others ask me the same ques
tion, and the other night a brilliant citi
zen sailed into the house and capered up
stairs like a load of bricks falling on a tin
roof. One of the boys told him to keep
quiet or he’d wake the men. “Why, does
anybody sleep here?” he asked in the
most cheerfully idiotic way. “Does any
body sleep here? We people grow very
weary of being compared to the police
force about having work to do. There's
only one out of every 400 that knows
what a fireman's work is, any way.’’
For rashes, pimples and blotches Ayer's
Sarsaparilla is an unequalled specific.
MAKING DESPERATE EFFORTS.
Populistic Attempts to “Work” the
Brother in Black.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 13.—Information
has come to campaign headquarters
showing that the populists are concentra
ting their work on the negro voters.
Tney are doing this work in away that
is peculiarly effective, and Chairman
Clay wants to put the people on notice
of ttye affiliation with the negro voters of
the populist demagogues, who are after
their votes. According to the informa
tion received the populists have or
ganized in each militia district what
they call a “steering committee.” These
committees consist of five workers, who
spend their nights in going about among
the colored people, making a house
to house canvass. They put them
selves in the most intimate relations with
the colored voters, staying with them for
hours at a time, and frequently making
several calls upon the same parties to es
tablish the desired friendly relations/
Then all sorts of promises of recognition
of the negro by giving them office are be
ing made by the populists. By such means
the negroes have been pledged to vote
their ticket in large numbers. Chairman
Clay does not feel at all apprehensive
about the result of the election, but wants
to put the people on notice of the work
being done among the negro voters.
Judge Hines’ refusal to meet Mr. Atkin
son in joint debate did not create much
comment at democratic headquarters.
To those who have been keeping posted
about the populist plan of campaign, the
judge’s refusal was no surprise at all. It
is not the purpose of the populists to sub
mit their case to argument with the demo
cratic leaders. They realize that they can
not stand up to a good old democratic
speech. Judge Hines is no match for Mr.
Atkinson on the stump, and the latter
really did not expect that Judge
Hines would accept his challenge
when he sent it, but the boasts
of the populists made it necessary
to call them down. The populist man
agers themselves are sore over Hines’ re
fusal. There was quite a lively row among
them on account of it. They wanted their
leader to show his mettle, although they
knew he’d get a fine drubbing at the hands
of Mr. Atkinson. Some of Judge Hines’
most devoted admirers here admit that
his back down has hurt him with his fol
lowers.
QUIETLY SPIRITED AWAY.
The Preßence of the Black Brute Ex
cited the People of Albany.
Albany, Ga., Sept. 17.—Dave Goolsby,
the negro fiend who raped and murdered
little Susan Butler in Thomas county last
Saturday, was brought here yesterday
but to-day was spirited away by Sheriff
Edwards, who, it is thought, sent him to
Americus for safe keeping. The presence,
of the black brute here incited intense
indignation and it seemed to be
growing hourly when the sheriff
sent Goolsby away unknown to
any one except his escort. The military
companies here have been on the qui vive
all day expecting to be called to protect
the prisoner from mob violence, but
Sheriff Edwards’ action has relieved
them of this possibility, which would
have been a very disagreeable duty.
This city will entertain all the popu
lists in this section to-morrow, the oc
casion of Tom Watson’s presence here.
Watson will speak from the Chatauqua
platform on the court house lawn.
A SPECIAL TERM TO TRY HIM.
Thomasville, Ga., Sept. 17.—Dave Gools
by, the negro rapist, was taken by Sheriff
Doss to Albany jail Saturday night,where
he has been kept safe from the lynchers
since. To prevent possible trouble, Judge
Hansell has ordered the sheriff to move
him to the jail of another county, the Al
bany people refusing further to keep him.
The change was made in a roundabout
way to avoid suspicion and preveat
trouble. Judge Hansell has also is
sued a call for an extra
session of court to meet on the
first Tuesday in October to try this human
fiend. It is hoped that the efforts of the
authorities will succeed in enabling the
law to take its course.
A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Hamilton, the little son of Hon. S. G.
McLendon, met with a painfnl accident
in Athens yesterday, where the family
were visiting. He fell fifteen feet and
fractured his skull in two places. Dr. T.
M. Mclntosh left here immediately on a
special train to attend the little patient.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD MEETING
Important Feature of Its Business Is
to Establish the Cotton Rate.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—An important
meeting of railroad men will be held here
to-morrow. All the roads in the South
ern Railway and Steamship Association
and others outside of the association will
be represented by their traffic managers
or general freight agents. Some of these
have already arrived, and to-day held
preliminary discussions upon the ques
tions to be passed upon to-morrow. The
main object of the meeting is to establish
the cotton rate for this season and to ap
portion the crop, as has been done here
tofore. each line handling only so much
as is assigned to it in the agreement.
There was some trouble over last year's
apportionment, and it is not unlikely
that the railroad men will have a lively
time in settling the matter this year. The
differential on port shipments will also be
fixed.
He Mashed the Serpent.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 17.—George
Larrimore. a negro man in his 87th vear,
and manager of the restaurant adjoining
the city market, had rather a novel ex
perience the other day. About 3 o'clock in
the afternoon he took off his shoes to rest
his feet. In taking off his right shoe he
discovered something in it, which, upon
examination, proved to be a snake,
mashed as flat as a pancake, and it was a
genuine rattler, about thirteen inches
long, but too dead to wriggle.
ON LOOKOUT’S HIGHTS.
Annual Session of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge I. 0. 0. F.
Interesting Proceedings of the High
est Branch of the Order of Odd Fel
lows—Growth of tho Order in the
South Unprecedented Financial
Status of the Order—Address of the
Grandsire.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 17.—1 n the
new and commodious convention hall of
Lookout Mountain, at 9 o’clock this
morning, reception ceremonies were held
in honor of the opening of the seventieth
annual session of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows, the highest tri
bunal of Odd Fellowship in the world.
Tastily and profusely decorated with
evergreens, flags, bunting and streamers
in the emblematic colors of the order,
white, blue, scarlet and royal purple, the
hall presented an attractive appearance.
Excellent music by a select orchestra
adcled to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Speeches of welcome were made by Gov.
Peter Turhey in behalf of the state,
bj r Mayor George Ochs, in behalf of the
city, by Deputy Grand Master W. A.
Barry, of the Grand Lodge of Tennesse,
and by Charles Landis, of the grand en
campment of the state.
These welcoming addresses were re
sponded to by Grandsire C. L. Campbell
of Canada, who said that hospitality was
the world renowned virtue of the south,
but those whp had not felt it as it had
been shown to Odd Fellows present,
could not conceive of its extent or its sin
cerity. After the reception ceremonies
the sovereign grand lodge at once re
solved itself into a secret session, when
reports of various officers and standing
committees were submitted.
The grand sire announced the death of
Grand Marshal Walter G. Dye at Minne
apolis March 21 last, and appointed Will
iam S. Frost of Maryland’ to the position.
Past Grand Representative E. R. Shipley
of Missouri was made official reporter of
the week’s proceedings. Grand Secretary
Representative Humphreys of Illinois pre
sented a souvenir of the Odd Fellows'
Home of Illinois in the shape of a beauti
ful specimen of the printer’s art.
The grand sire made his official annual
address, of which a summary is here
given: . ,
The grand sire said that since the last
convention in the south, which was held
in Atlanta twenty years ago. the mem
bership in what is recognised politically
as the southern states has increased from
6,000 to 50,000, and to the people of the
south Odd Fellowship has become an es
tablished institution. The total mem
bership of the order was now 780,000,
or including the Sisters of
Rebekah degree 889,000. To this
should be added in foreign jurisdictions a
membership of 255,000, making a com
bined membership of nine-tenths of a
million men and women. The net in
crease in membership during the year
had been 34,000. There was less than the
year previous, but this might be accounted
for in the United States by a season of
financial stringency that lessened the re
sources of the people. In Canada, rel
atively a more prosperous country, and
under its state institutions less liable to
business fluctuation, the order has made
a more marked progress than any
of its history. There has been no
diminution, however, in the work ac
complished and the expenditure of three
and a third million dollars for the pur
pose of Relief was a sufficient evidence of
the activity of Odd Fellowship. The re
port deals at kngth with the condition of
the order in foreign lands, and then goes
on to say that peace and harmony pre
vailed throughout the entire jurisdiction,
except in Kansas, where a number of
lodges had invoked the aid of the courts
against an assessment ordered by the
grand lodge for the support of a
home. This matter will be re
ferred to the body now in session
for final adjudication. The military
branch, known as the patriarchs mili
tant, was reported as being in a pros
perous condition. Numerous withered
branches had been lopped off during the
year, the forces generally reorganized
and eleven new cantons mustered into
service. The Sisterhood of Rebekah has
continued unabated, the membership in
creasing rapidly. The laws governing
this branch, however, required careful
revision, but the views of the sisters
themselves should receive full considera
tion. In no department of work had there
been such decided progress as in making
provision for the aged members and
orphan children. In many states new
homes had been opened, while numerous
other Jurisdictions were accumulating
funds and erecting buildings for the laud
able work. The grand sire concluded
with an eloquent appeal to the delegates
to hasten the establishment of the coming
altrurian age, of which poets have
dreamed and philanthropists have hoped,
but which Odd Fellowship only has made
possible.
The present resources of the sovereign
grand lodge were shown in Grand'Secre

status of aged members of the order who
have been left out of the Odd Fellows’

surrendering its charter. Legislation is
asked by many to remedy such injustice,
and this question is one of the most diffi

JUDGE PALMERBEBIQNS.
The Director General’s Bad Health
the Beason for Retiring.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—The resigna
tion of H. E. W. Palmer, director general
of the Cotton States and International
exposition, was tendered at a meeting of
the board of directors to-day and ac
cepted. Bad health is the reason as
signed by Director General Palmer for
stepping down and out. He has. been
able to give but little attention to the ex
position during the past six weeks. The
position of president and director general
will be consolidated under Pres. Charles
A. Collier.
To-morrow will be an important period
in the exposition progress. The corner
stone of the manufacturers build
ing will be laid, the date
of the opening of the big
show being just one year from this
event. Business will be suspended and
the city given a general holiday in honor
of the event. The corner-stone laying
will be under the direction of the grand
lodge of Masons. There will be a big
street parade, and speeches will be made
by President Collier, Secretary Hoke
Smith, Gov. Northen, Hon. W. Y. Atkin
son, Hon. F. G. dußignon and several
others.
POSTPONED ON ACCOUNT OF RAIN.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—A heavy rain
storm broke over Atlanta at 5 o’clock,
and at midnight torrents are still falling.
The streets of the city are flooded. The
rainfall has been so great that the parade
and corner-stone laying of the Cotton
States and International Exposition set
for to-morrow have been postponed.
EXECUTED WITH BULLETS.
Enoch Davis, a Wife Murderer, Shot to
Death in Utah.
From the New York Times.
Lehi Junction, Utah, Sept. 14. —Enoch
Davis, the wife murderer, died at 10:45
this morning with six rifle bullets in his
breast. About thirty officers and report
ers were present at the execution, but no
minister. At 10:40 he was placed in a
chair with a plank at his back.
The penitentiary doctor pinned a pre
scription blank with a black mark over
the heart. Davis was given liquor and
strapped down. He protested, as he said
he wanted the sharpshooters out in plain
sight, instead of in the tent as they were,
and he said he did not want to die ’‘like
an Indian.”
When all was read.y the marshal cried:
“Make ready, take aim, fire!” Six shots
were fired, and Davis moved slightly and
gasped faintly. The doctor said it was
only a contraction of the muscles. Death
was practically instantaneous. Four bul
lets pierced the paper, two at the side,
and one ball pierced the black mark.
Injured by a Tombstone.
From the Pltthburg Dispatch.
Alliance. Sept. 14.—Mrs. Susan John
son, an aged woman residing near Home
worth, was fatally injured in an old cem
etery near the village in a neculiar acci
dent. In company' with several other
ladies she was trimming up the surface
on a grave of one of her relatives, when a
large tombstone on a nearby grave, from
under which the dirt had been washed by
a recent rain, toppled over upon her, pin
ning her to the ground.
Her friends tried to lift the heavy erran
ite, but it was too much for their
strength, and one of the party hastened

POLITICS IN THREE STATES.
Comments on Affairs in Georgia, Flor
ida and South Carolina.
GEORGIA.
Way cross Herald: Speaker Crisp ad
mits that he does not fully understand
the silver question in all its various
phases. There is not a populist in Ware
county that would not undertake to en
lighten him.
Macon Telegraph: The resignation of
Mr. Marion W. Harris from the state
democratic executive committee is hardly
so satisfactory to the populists since his
explanation was given to the public. He
is about as far from being a popuiist as
possible. It is now in order for the
papers which have misrepresented him
to do him the justice of giving his ex
planation of his conduct to their readers.
Brunswick Times-Advertiser: The real
cause assigned for the withdrawal of Mr.
Marion Harris from the state democratic
executive committee, is that he opposes
the free coinage sentiments attributed to
Col. Atkinson. Mr. Harris claims to be a
Cleveland democrat. It is about time, as
Chairman Clay intimates, that the Dr.
Swamp Angel idea of politics was with
drawn from the state campaign. Georgia
cannot go into tho free coinage business.
Albany Herald: Judge Gober is enti
tied to the floor if he has anything to say in
refutation of the serious charges that have
been brought against him by the Atlanta
Cotomercial, and it appears to us that it is
about time for the judge to rise. A man
who is worthy of the position Judge Gober
holds cannot afford to stand upon his
dignity and ignore such charges as have
been brought and reiterated against him,
and the Herald, which has not, until now,
taken any notice of these charges, is be
ginning to suspect that there is “some
thing rotten in Denmark.”
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: The rumor of
another one of these misrepresentations
is, we regret to say, being circulated in
Muscogee county. It is stated that the
populist candidate for congress in this
district, or those representing him, have
madd promises to the negroes of Muscogee
county that if the populist is elected that
negroes are to be put on the police force
of this city. This would be a very un
fortunate and dangerous appeal for a
white candidate to make to the negroes.
Os course the colored people are aware
that in none of the elections to be held
this year could the result in any way af
fect the organization of the police force,
and they know that the policy is well estab
lished not to put colored men on the po
lice force. It is difficult to believe that
the populist candidate for congress in
this district has made any such proposi
tion to the negroes in Muscogee county,
but such a rumor has been circulated.
FLORIDA.
Arcadia Arcadian: More than S9OO was
paid into the school fund for poll tax re
ceipts last week. Both parties put up the
stuff in great shape.
Tampa Times: It is now regarded as a
certainty that Hon. Thomas M. Palmer
will be our next state senator. The coun
ty’s interests will be safe in his hands.
The Monticello Tribune proposes that
the good democrats of that county hold a
mass meeting and sing, ‘‘Praise God
From Whom All Blessings Flow,” because
the senior senator has not made an ap
pointment in that county.
Florida Citizen: The senior senator’s
speeches about “corporations” come dear
to the people of Florida. During his
term of public service he has drawn
about $75,000, not counting perquisites. If
it costs as much as this to to have the
“corporations” denounced from the stump
periodically, what would actual and
effective legislation on the subject cost?
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Greenville News: The Columbia Regis
ter pretends to be astonished that the
antinewspapers praise Gov. Tillman’s re
ply to the Englishmen who propose to in
vestigate lynching in the south. The
antinewspapers have always been just to
Gov. Tillman—most of them, at least.
Justice has not been what he wanted nor
what his followers demanded. A search
ing of' files of antinewspapers will show
ten words of praise for Tillman and of re
buke for Cleveland for every one word of
rebuke of Tillman and commendation of
Cleveland that has appeared in Tillman
newspapers.
Sumter Herald: Most of the anti-Till
man newspapeijs of the state are against
the independent movement. The whole
thing seems to be a Butler movement.
After the senator’s shameful treatment
of his political friends, he now
expects them to make a bolt
in order to serve him. But he
will be sadly mistake*. When the
straightout, old-time democrats make a
fight for true democratic principles, they
will make it a different way and with a
different leader than Senator Butler, who,
if we are to judge by his answers to the
alliance catechism, is as much of a poou
list as Tillman.
News and Courier, Sept. 17: In our
opinion it was a great mistake to call the
convention to meet before the Irby
convention has met —it would be a greater
mistake to reorganize the partv and nomi
nate a state ticket to-night, pending the
action of that body the day after to-mor
row. It would be a mistake, because
thousands of democrats in the state, how
ever much they may smart under the
tyranny of the Tillman-Irby ring, would
not be free to join with their brother
democrats in an effort to restore the state
to the democratic column. It would be a
mistake, because democrats do not\agree
among themselves as to the policy which
should be pursued in this emergency.
Most of the delegates who will attend the
convention to-night go without instruc
tions.
Do not wear impermeable and tight
fitting hats that constrict the blood-ves
sels of the scalp. Use Hall’s Hair Re
newer occasionally, and you will not be
bald—ad.
