Mr c. B. Daniel, the Democratic

The Banner office yeeterUa^and made
the following statement for publication:
-I became of age in 1873, and cast my
tint vote for Garnett McMillan for con
gress. My next vote was for H. H.
Carlton for the legislature. In 1875 l
moved to White, and was one of the
seven men in that county who voted
for B. H. Hill for congress. .1 then

the
tor Speer against Bell. I supported J.
A. Billups when be made the race, and
in the Speer-Camller contest worked
m y hardest for the Democratic nom
inee.
‘ It is true that I scratched W. J.
Morton’s name from my ticket. My
reason for doing this is: I am a strong
prohibitionist, and bitterly opposed to
a restoration of the liquor traffic. 1
attended a barbecue iu my settlement,
gotten up by Col. Morton’s friends, and
was disgusted with the lavish use of
liquor there distributed. I
my friends and neighbors made
beastly drunk, and sent home reeling
to their families. I saw men near and
dear to me carried up to this campaign
bar in the woods, and come awaj intox
icated. There were small boys present,
aud the example set before them was
frightful. At the time I believed that
this free liquor was furnished by Col.
Morion, anil then and there proclaimed
that I would not support him even if
nominated. 1 afterwards learned that
these intoxicants were supplied by this
gentleman’s friends, mid explained to
him, in the presence of Mr.T. B. Lump
kin, the reason why 1 erased his name
from the ticket l voted; and Col. Mor-
exjiressed himself as satisfied with my
statement. 1 will here say that no one
offered me whisky or be«r, as they knew
1 never used stimulants.
“1 confess that 1 was wrong in
scratching off the name of a regular
nominee. I did so uuthoughtedly, and
repent the act. In tuy zeal for prohi
bition, and abtioruncc of the use of
whisky in elections, 1 failed to separate
a local issue from the duty 1 owed my
party. At the time, 1 thought that my
vote for Col. Mortou , would be equiva
lent to endorsing that gentleman’s
platform, which i was unwilling to do.
“If my party thought 1 have forfeited
their supptul, i would have freely con
sented to withdraw and let them nomi
nate some one else; and even if I am
elected, and a respectable following of
Democrats ask uie to resign—as they
supported me ou account of my nomi
nation—1 will cheerfully obey their re
quest.
“I have nothing to say against Pro
fessor atrahau, my opponent, lie is in
every way competent to fill the posi
tion he seeks, aud I urn personally his
friend. 1 have worked with him in the
Held, and entertain a high regard for
him both as a gentleman and a civil eu-
ginee,. But eveu it my defeat is deci
ded upon. Professor Strahan is not the
uian to elect. Ue already holds one of-
Ilce under the State, aud it is against
our Constitution to till two positions.
If elected, he must either resign the
County Surveyor’s office or his Pro
fessorship in the State University. I
don’t suppose he would give up the
handsome salary that the latter office
pays for the small and uncertain fees uf
a County Surveyor. I think any law
yer will agree with me that Prof. Stra
han cannot hold both places.
“I only learned this morning, on
reaching Athens, that I had opposition.
I fully confess that I did wrong in eras
ing Mr. Morton’s name from my ticket,
and if my people think I deserve defeat
for the act, my scalp, or whatever else
1 possess, is at their command. But
cannot see how it would vindicate the
organized Democracy to defeat a regu
lar nominee with an independent—and
it is only as such that Professor Stra
han .‘an possibly be classed.

Topeka, Kan.. Jan. 6.—In no state in
the Union has there been such an up
heaval in politics as in Kansas. In 1888
the Republican plurality was 82,000, and
in 1800 the plurality on the state ticket
was 8.000, with a majority against the
Republican party in the legislature of

Pine Ridge, S. D. t Jan. 6.—The gen
eral situation here is inci'eafing in sej-5
ousness. Short Bull, the leading hostile
chief, who has distinguished himself all
along during the trouble by never for a
moment considering any of the over
tures looking to an amicable settlement,
but who has steadily stuck ta his lair in
the Bad .Lauda, and has now assumed
command of the great body of hostilea.
Sunday night he told the government
spies that he would take this agency if it

ity was secured on a protection platform,
while in 1890—two years later—the par
ty leaders and sFtmp speakers were at a
loss to know what position to take on
this question.
The prohibition question entered into
the recent campaign, and to say that a
large element of leading Republicans
°f eliminating it from state
Vomica would be drawing it mildly.
And then, the donbt about the return
of John J. Ingalls to the United States
senate is a matter of interest to the en
ure nation, while the uprising of the
farmers Alliance, a great political par-
saw &’JJVr. C V n T.® ye"- a ^ m< ®t annihi-
saw Iated the Republican party, is a question
which is attracting the attention of men
°f all political parties in the oountry.
There is not one of the recognized
leadere in the People’s party, unless it be
the Hon. “Sockless’’ Jerry Simpson or
John O. Otis, who is favorable trfudge

Judge Doster. P. P. Elder is enough of
a Politician to manage his own campaign.
The Alliance leaders achieved some
thing of a reputation as politicians for
the manner in which the state campaign
was conducted, bul they have shown
themselves sadly deficient since that
time.
It was supposed that when the time
came for electing a senator the repre
sentatives would vote for the man whom
the leaders agreed upon. This would
probably have been the case if the lead
ers had shown a disposition to advance
the interests of the people’s movement
instead of their own private endsi If a
caucus nominee is agreed upon at all the
advice of the leaders must be disregarded
entirely. A compromise candidate is
not unlikely, and at the present writing
one candidate appears to liave as good a
chance as another.
Mr. Seaborn Crow’s Safe Broken Open
and 81,500 Stolen.
Atlanta, Jan. 6.—It is reported that
Mr. Seaborn Crow, a gentleman who has
been running a store at Roswell station,
was robbed of $1,500 by some unknown
parties.
Mr. Crow came to this city Monday to
make preparations to leave for the Indian
nation, but before the train he was going
on had left, he received a telegram that
some one had broken open liis store at
Roswell, Ga., and robbed the safe of
$1,500 in money.
Mr. Crow left with a friend in a buggy
to see about the robbery. Nothing else
has been heard from him since lie left
the city, and it is supposed that he is
now investigating the case.

London, Jan. 6.—Advices from St.
Petersburg state that whole villages of
Jews are being depopulated on the pre
tense tint they are within the forbidden
distance of the frontier, aud iu some in
stances where villages are not really
within fifty versts.
A Jewish father has been fined because
his son did not appear for conscription,

A Blinding Snowstorm Prevented the En
gineer from Seeing.
Toledo, O., Jan. 6.—As a big mogul
engine was backing down to the Luke
Shore tracks, near this city, it rail into a
train of flat cars. The tank of the en
gine was lifted up and pushed against
the boiler head, pitching three men who
were standing uT^he cab.
Joseph Sawyer and Terrence Kilbride,
helpers, were almost instantly killed,
ana Michael Kerschtrer, conductor, waa
severely crushed.
A blinding snowstorm prevented En
gineer John Corbet from seeing the fiat
cars until it was too late to avoid the
accident.
Coverncr Northern Out Today—Mat
ters of Much Interest.
Atlanta, Jan. 8.— Governor Northen
is out today for the first time in na>re
than a week. He shows the eft'.-et of
his illness and is weak still, but has
buckled down to work with character
istic energy. Governor Northen is one
of the hardest workers who have ever
filled the executive chair. He has been
hard at work all his life and he believes
in keeping ou at it. He is very much
gratified at the general opinion con
cerning his administration, which is, of
course, decidedly favorable to it.
“I have never been able to please my
self yet,” be said to me the other day.
“But 1 have endeavored to do right
and hope to always do my full duty.”
We were discussing the Rome Tri
bune’s attack on the Judge MeCutchen
appointment at the time. The unanim
ity with which the press and the people
have endorsed his stand on all matters
pertaining to the commission must in
deed be grateful to him.
The railroad commission was to
have heard the lumber case today
hut it went over at the request of the
lumbermen. Major Shellinan and Mi .
Lawton were here for the! railroad, hut
Mr. Amorous, representing the lumber
men, could not be here.
The appointment of Carroil Payne as
special master to try the Western and
Atlantic cases iu the U. S. courts has
been very generally commended. An
interesting question to be decided is
concerning the life of the old com
pany. The legislature passed i
bill extending the charter of the com
pany for the purposes of pending
litigation. This was put through by
seuie lawyers who have damage cases
against the read and was not asked for
by the stockholders or the officers of
the company. They contend that the
life of the company cannot be extended
without its desire. The contest seems
to be over whether the cases in ques
tion shall be tried in the United States
or the State courts.
The jury in the cases of the State
against Barker has made a mistrial.
Barker publishes a prohibition paper
wnieh made some vigorous attacks on
Hon.W. II. Venable in his campaign
against Todd who was elected Senator.
An indictment for criminal libel was
found against Barker, with the result
stated above.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 0.— Fhre-
well to the force bill!
Its doom was sealed yesterday after
noon by eight republican senators and
a solid democratic vote.
It has had to give way to the silver
biil. It will probably be twenty days
before it can come up again; then there
will he so many appropriation hills to
be considered by the senate that the
force bill will probably be held over till
the next congress meets, when it will
die.
There sat in the white house yester
day a little beerded man. His hat was
hung on a peg near by, and on one side
of him was his private secretary.
“Lige,” said the little fellow, at
whose tremendous hat they both were
staring, “did I not say if the force bill
was not passed l would not he a caudi
date for re-election ?”
“Yes, B. nnie,” replied the faithful

“Well, Bennie,” sa d Lige, in a re

court has rendered a very important
decision, holding that a father who had
murdered his daughter could not inher
it her property.
A man named Shellenberger lived
with his second wife in 1886.
He had two children who owned
eighty acres of valuable land near Ne
braska City, which they inherited from
their dead mother. Shellenberger
claimed to inherit the girl’s interest in
the land, and deeded his rights to Frank
Ransom, his attorney, for his defense.
Shellenberger was afterward hanged by
a mob. Ransom brought suit in parti
tion, and Judge Mason, of Lincoln, was
appointed to defend the, son. The court
below decided for Ransom, but tlicsu-
preme lielu that the father’s blood was
tainted by the crime, and confirmed the
title in the son.
