party of hooters returning from a trip on
the plains captuicd, eleven miles from
town, a huge black bear, weighing In his
half-famished condition about 800 pounds.
Sir Bruin showed little relish for his cap-
tors, and made determined raiatance to
the chains by which he was conflued to a
to tough merquite tree on reaching
town. For days he would neither eat nor
sleep, and kept tl e curious at respectful
distance, as he paced unceasingly to and
fro the length of bis chain, roiling his
blood-shot eyes and giving vent to
to his rage end fear in snarling, menac
ing growls.
on Sunday morning aa the church bells
were calling the children from all direc
tions to Sabbath-school. Sir Bruin waxed
desperate, and with a powerful tug snap
ped the chain that held him mud was off
on a clumsv gallop through town. A
great hue and cry was rais d. and pursuit
made, and as if by tbe irresistible magic
of the famed “rat catcher**” music, the
throngs of children were drawn along in.

chism. People stream'd into the streets,

swell toe motley throng and add to the din

Ilruln, thus hard beset, and having long
fasted, made a break for a large pnned
window in the dining room of the Ren-
drebrook Hotel, landing with a crash iu
the midst of the abtoninhed guests, who
“stood not upon the order of their going,
but went at once” through all available
apertures in the opposite direction. Tbeir
rate of speed was exceeded only by that
of the woo'ly.headed waiters, who fled
gray with terror, dragging table linen,
silver and glass, in a glitte. ing train after
them. Amid tbe clang and clatter, Bruin
placed himself at bay in a corner, uno n-
sciously, but undeniably “monarch of all
he surveyed.”
Brief, however, was his reign. Soon a
cow boy enteriog the long hall, threw a
lassooover bis shoulders; a second and
third followed, and the great angry brute
was dragged into the street. Then a live

hard, smooth ground. A girth snapped,
and a saddle went spinning over the

New Yobjc October 17.—Tbe following
was made public to-day:
Hr.ADQUAKTKRS NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
Committee. So. 11 West Twe»ty-7ocrtii
SrREzr. October 10, 1833. —To the People of
the United States: The result of the elec-
tlons on Tue*d*y last in the States of Ohio
and West Virginia is before you. Ohio
chose Republican electors in 1869, 1872,
1870 and 1880. West Virginia chose Re
publican Presidential electors iu W>3 and
1872. aud Democratic electors in 1870 and
1880. Garthddobtained a plurality in Ohio
in 1880 of 31 227 votes. The Republican
candidate in the late election for Secretary
of State was a gallant so’dier and reputa
ble man. Tbe vote of the Republican
party in that election was broken down by
the weight of Mr. Blaine, a factional seek
er afte.* the Presidency. The people then
elected a Democratic majority of the Con
gressional delegation of the State. We
may confidently expect a majority in Ohio
for Cleveland and Hendricks in Novem
ber. West Virginia has, by its splendid
and decisive majority for the Democratic
Governor at the October election, already
declared its purpose to give its electoral
vote for our candidates in November.
The Blaine m onagers employed
extraordinary methods in bo:h
State*. They expended not less
1 ban $50*,000in Ohio aud more than $100.-
OOu In West Virginia. In their political
work they did not use noney only.. They
called from every Mate office holders best
fitted to do the work at which they were
put. They • rowded thrse t«o States with
-nch men Tbev employed in political
job* men • .raged in the postal service of
1 he Unite- States. They left the veterans
who had saved the life of the nation with
out the pay to which they were entitled,
under the preteme of haring an irsuffi-
clent clerical forre :n the pension bureau,
and then tired the Commissioner of Vi
sions and a great 1 umber of tils clerks as
f ntrts of tUtlr political machine.y in the
ate elections in Ohio and West Virginia.
It has been openly charged, without denial,
that the payment of veterans by the
commissioner of pensions has been de
layed by him with the purpose of forcing
them to vote for Blaine. These
abn-es of political power have been
committed under the over looking eyes of
Bisine and with his full sanction. They
show the manner in which, if he were
e'eoted. the public offices would be subor
dinated o his personal service and the
bounty of the country be made the means
of advancing his person d interests. They
made marshals of the United States and
their deputies, who ought to be the guar
dians of the rights ol evtry citizen of the
United States, part of their machine force.
They armed ttum and incited them to vio
lence and outrage. t hey expect to pay
for the weapons and services ot these men
out of the treasury of the United 8ta'es
They made Blaine one of their county and
ward workers tn Ohio aud West Virginia,
and heentered with zest upon the familiar
duties. They devised, with his knowledge,
methods of compelling workmen to vote
as their employers dictated. They
kewt him in daily association
with tbe worst elements of their politicjl
organ zation; they made him their coun
sellor in every disreputable plan which
they devised to promote hi - success. He
could not have breo a stranger to their pur-
puso to mane gains in Cincinnati at tbe
flection on Thursday li*3t by using armed
deputy matshuls and armed negroes to
drive voters from the polls. The method*
of their campaign in Ohio and West Vir
ginia and the share of their can lidate in
those methods have mld.-d to the oppro
brium already resting|m*on his Lame, and
have assured bis detest st the general
election in November. Blaine his been
a member of tbo Home of Represents
t’ves, a Senator in Congress and Secretary
of State of the United States. He has been
accused of corruptly tiling his influence as
Speaker and as a m-iiib-'r of the Hiuse of
Representatives for his individual profit.
His misconduct has been proved by his
own letters. These have confronted him
whm-ver he has gone. He has attempted
no explanation. The phrmes of the«*e let
ters ure ao well known that they are by-
tn the streets and jest# upon the
sta|e. As when Speaker of the Hnuee of
I Upresentativei and a member of that
! louse be bartered his influence for money
or property, he might avail himself of the
larger • pportnnities which the office and
powers of President afford. These are not
worn a dictated oy party rancor. They

warkof good and constitutional gov

ot the leading Republican journals and be

name of the man who was lynched last
ufght for the unprovoked murder of F. A.
Burton was Nathaniel M’tcbtll. He was
employed aa a river man during the sum
mer and as a woodman in winter. He
was a desperate character, and was ad
dicted to the use ot liquor. He had been
both in jail and in the insane asylum. The
cause of his killing Burton is uot known.
One theory is that he mistook him for an
other person.
Lacros8i, Wis., October 17.—Business
was practically suspended here to-day, the
all absorbing topic of conversation being
the terrible tragedy of last night—the mur
der of Frank Barton and the subsequent
lynching of his slayer, Nathan G. Mitchell.
now appears that Mitchell inteuded, if
possible, to kill at least two more citizens,
one of whom was Charles A. McDonald
was only a question of whom he met
first. He wee equipped with two self cock

them as fast as the ticking of a watch. Ex

anyone, the general verdict being that the
lynching was right. The funeral of ~
ton will take place on Sunday.

the entire town fell a prey to tbe devouring

merchants saved a very small portion of their
stock, fourteen stores were consumed, ag
gregating a loss ol about 1100,000; on which
there was very little insurance, estimated at
$10,000. The court hnoee and Masonic Hall
were Isolated and did not* burn. Just three
years ago the Identical district waa burned.
