"MRS. ARA SMITH."
IlUtory of tho lufiirtunuto Lady and Her Bad Wrath
at Montgomery.
From the Macon Telegraph.
We have been placed in possession of the facts
which led to the leaving of the unfortunate lady
whose adopted name heads this article from the pa
rental roof near Bollagbroke. They are published
at the request of Mr. Julius II. Bszemore, her
brother,
The Bazemore family Is one that has beon oa-
teemed aud respected lu this section. The father,
Thos. J. Bazemore, was one of the most honorable
and respected citizens of this county, aud not a
blemish or stain was ever put on any of the family.
Tbo lady, whose sad death in Montgomery, Ala.,
has been published, was a daughter of this good
old man. Her right and full name was Miss Aram-
luta Viera Bazemore. She was welcomed In the
best society pud bad scores of friends and adml-
re ?man by the name of W. II. Dent, who had mar
ried her sister, sought and accomplished her ruin.
Up to that time she wa*, being the youngest and
the pet of the family, beloved by all who know her.
As soon as this was known, all relations with Dent
were stopped and he would have been murdered
but for the fact that the brothers knew that bis
death at their hands would be the ruin of the other
sister, his wife.
The family, with many relatives, met in consul
tation as to wbat course should be pu raued. They
decided that the daughter should remalu at home
and that she. even In her downfall, still had ahold
on their tenderestand strongest affections: but Miss
Ara desired to leave home aud begin life-anew.
Accordingly ft was agreed that she should go to
Virginia tollve with relations, and the brother
mentioned in the Montgomery Advertiser's article,
was chosen to accompany her. This programme
was known to and Indorsed by the friends and ac*
qualntanceaof the family.

The republicans of this class have surprised me
in oue respect. They feel that a change in the cou*

grieved thereat. They see no disaster In It to tho

E ro. ft is perhaps best, they say. that there should

acceptance of the inevitable; but I am inclined to
think that they ate tired of corruption, and are
willing to swap It for bourbonisra or any of the
other things that have iu the past alarmed their
souls; that They arc beginning to Uiiuk that even

The Vermont senator is not a strict prohibitionist In
practice. And* wajfaror iu these •tates-orany
state, for that mattor-cannot escapo tho conviction
that the sentiment against the evil of intemperance
is very deep and earnest. The republican party
will nr.t care to bra aatlt in any respect. They will
scarcely care to take tbechauces of denouncing any
stories that might arise about their candidate's
habit* as campaign lie*. I find that the earnest re
publicans • re therefore turning towards a powerful
name borne by a young man iu tho west It is in
deed doubtful as to how so plain a c**o of the ;'»ou"
hiiMinewin politics would woik; but with that I
have nothing to do. , . . . _
T he situation after all n ems to me to be briefly
this: If the real leaders of tbe party conclude that
tho party can wlu, they will take steps to secure the
nomination of Robert Lincoln, or some other avail
able man. This would be a sure Indication of a
campaign in which money aud patronage and the
tariff and tho manopolies, aud favora tocorno will
be utilized as they have never been before—which
is saying a great deal. It will bo a desperate last-
ditch campaign in that event on the republican
side. But it seems for more probable tbat iho lead
ers will read the handwrlUngou tho wall before the
convention meets, and will give Mr. Arthur a walk
over in tho convention, on the ground tbat ho has
done well and deserves the nomination. His nomi

THE PR* Bf.LM AHEAD.
But right here comes luthecMef puzzle of the.
situaffou. Docs Mr. Tildeu want tho nomination?
ur Is he simply holding matters in abeyance *o
that he c*u dictate tho nomination of Hoadly
or Cleveland or Hewitt or somo other man whom
he think* can be elected, being content to go Into
birtory as the only man deprived of tho presidency
after an election by the prople? As to his condi
tion, mental or piiyricnl, there Is no reasonable
dount. He ts as capable of high trusts and rc»pon-
ribllilies as he waa eight yean ago. Tho evidence
on tnat point U con elusive. There is a total want
of evidence as to his Intention. It 1* freely conce
ded that neither Mr. McDonald nor Mr. Bayard nor
any other man, can get the nomination If Mi.
Titden wants it. Does he want it? 1 think ho doe*,
lie ha* many great qualities—clearness and breadth
of virion, a comprehensive knowledge of the Ameri
can people, pa*lent endurance under misrepresen
tation and faith in public sentiment, the knack of
deUuinganiaue In tne right way at the right time,
but be has.never been regarded as particularly un
selfish. In a word, he f* preparing tbe way not for
somo other man. but forhlm-elf. The wish may be
father to toe thought in my mind, but I cannot
guess tbe puzzle In any other way. Tbe people
want him, aud if they get him. the political crime
of the century will be redre*«ed at lari.
But would it not t>e very queer to elect Mr. Ran
dall speaker in 1883. if we expect to make Mr.
TUden president In 1884? Mr. TUden Isa revenue-
tariff man, a democrat only. He ran as a revenue-
tariff man lu 1876. The people are doing more
thinking over tbe tariff question now in one t ear
than they did in the tweuty yean that followed the
outbreak of the civil war. aud they are not going
over to the protec.ion ride if my eye* and ears Mtv*
me correctly. N. P. T. F.

working oa the form. A short time since
he left her and went to work for Mr. James
Gaines, who lives near by. At times he
would allow an appetite for strong drink
to overcome him, but was regarded ns a
hardworking man. Whenever he came to
Ganeaville nnd got under the influence of
liquor he'had a habit of going into a straw
ipen on Mrs. Davis’s place and sleeping oil
the cflects before be went borne. Yesterday
about twelve o’clock, a negro saw him lying

him up nnd carry him home. Mr, Gaiucs

mains, after which their setting was ad
journed until this morning and the body was
brought to the city anil laid out in tbe o
nary’s ofllce. This mornining at 8 o'c
tlie jury reassembled and proceeded to
the investigation. Tbe evidence brough ou
tlie facts os above stated. Dr. Ham Is c
of tlie opinion that tbe deceased came
death from strychnine poisoning. Tha
symptom) arc unmistakable. In his pocket
wus tlie remains of a powder which proved
by chemical tests to be strychnine. Tbe
whisky in his pocket has a peculiar appear
ance, and it Is thought tbat it contains tha
poison, and that it was from this bottle that
no took thp fatal draught. The liquor will
be tested to determine whether this is true.
After examining several witnesses in a
fruitless eflort to And where Baker got the
poison, the jury returned the following
verdict:
“We, the jurors aforesaid, on our oaths say
that the said James Baker did then and there
come to bis death by then and there admin
istering to himself and by his own hands
poison, strychnine, by which ho, the said
James Baker, did then and there himself kill
and murder," W. O. Hav,
