All of tho above, with the exception of gover

-enmbenta of the elllcea for which they woro
nominated.
The convention adjourned sine die.
Bald Mr. Carlisle: "President Cleveland has
given to tha country a safe, strong, clean and
healthy administration. The complaints that
he hea not turned republican oMcoholdors ont
a* rapidly u he ehonld aro exaggerated. He
has acted aa he honestly believed for the bbat
Interests of the country and hla party, and yon
will find, upon Investigation, that he is very
strong with the modIs. He has made ns a
good president, I think, ho is the most Indus-
trions man 1 over saw. Ho certainly works too
hard, but it all comes from hla honest desire to
snake hla administration satisfactory to him
self and the people. Mr. Cleveland deal roc
nothing more than the approval of hla own
-conscience and the jnat commendation of the
.-country. Theao he cannot foil to have.”
“la there not oomo Just canoe of complaint
concerning hla eomewhat supercilious treat
ment of men who hold office under him?’’
“Blgbtly understood, there ta net. Hr.
-Cleveland, yon must remember, held the office
of eheriir In Ezio county. New York, and after
that he was mayor of Buffalo. In both of
these position! ho was brought Into direct con
tact with hla subordinates who required, no
-doubt, careful attention, and In this way ha
acquired tho habit of personal supervision of
appointees. That habit, doutleaa, atioka to him
In some degree. It wonld be strange If it did
not. Yon see,be came very rapidly from tho mar-
-oralty through the governorship into the presi
dency, and no man’s elevation was ever more
rapid. InMr.Cleveland'acaae,aomellttletlmo
most be allowed for him to accustom hlaisif
to hla new surroundings. There la another
thing I want to say about Mr. Cleveland. With
him as candidate for re-tlcctlon, Now England
will bo donbtfnl. Yon would be astonished to
find tho number of business men in tho re
publican party in Maasachoaetta, and all New
England, who are for Cleveland. When I was
in Boston a abort time ago I was amazed to
learn that the republican members of several
prominent dabs were practically solid for
Cleveland. There la another good thing, too,
about theso mogwnmpi, as we call them. They
are nearly all tariff refer more. If they are
properly cultivated, they will not bo long get
ting Into tho democratic party, when they will
ho mugwumps
democrats aa the
no longer, bat just as good
rest of us.'
“Getting book to the treasury surplus for a
moment what hava yon to say about the rev-
aral plana proposed for gottlng rid of that sur
pins without reducing taxation.”
“They are all jobs and tricks and unworthy
-of serious consideration. Now, lot aa look for
a momcht at tho bill providing for federal aid
to education. Ita effeets must bo apparent to
-•very Intelligent observer. The promoters of
that scheme aay that the federal appropriations
wonld not cosrtlnno longer thsn eight years.
I say once begun, they would oontlnna
for a tbonrend years—and why! The reason
it plain. The certain effect of federal aid sronld
he demoralization and ultimately tho destruc
tion of oar etsto systems of education. At the
end of eight years, tho slates wonld bo entirely
dependent on the general government for an
educational fund and federal aid wonld then
ha a ncceaaity from whljh there would bo no
escape.”

HtpoadcBt bo add:
“President Cleveland has grown atronger In
Virginia since oar last election. Tho republi
cans pined In congressmen because the dem
ocrats were displeased with tha tray tha presi

pointed are srot democrats who worked hud
for bis election. They are not
counted as strong working dem

not believe In sentimental politics, and I am
not tfaetnrcd with mnswnmplam. I think
the candidate who goes before tho democratic
convention in 18Sh, should at least wear tha
livery of the democratic party. I cannot toll
whether Virginia will send dcloptea for Mr.

THB GRENADA TRAGEDY.
The Oflteer Who Mado the Arrest Tolls tha
Story of tho Shooting to a Reporter,
From the Memphis Avalanche.
The city marshal of Grenada, Miss., wu In
the city yesterday, having oomo hare to taka
hack a negro wanted there for cutting with In
tent to kill. An Avalanche reporter met tbe
official and from Mm learned the details, aofisr
u they are at present known, of the const-
tional shooting which occurred In Grenada
about noon Wadnetdsy, when Captain W. P.
Dewier, a drummer for the honee of Schmidt A
Edgier of New Orleans, and a man well knosrn
in north Mluterippl, shot and fatally wounded
Bev. C. F. Stivers, rector of the Epleoopal
church in Grenada. The marshal Is the
man who mado tho arrest Immediately after
the shooting, and he mado tho following its fo
ment:
“The shooting occurred about noon,” uld
the official, “and a short time afterward! I
went to the house to arrest Towler and told
him he vru my prisoner. Ho mads no resist
ance, but uld: ‘I want yon to oomo and see
how I had to do this.’ I oonaentod and he car
ried me through tho parlor and Into a back
room where there ires a rocking chair srith a
pistol lying betide it 'Do you tee that V ho
laid. ‘When I cams to the door srith a letter
In my hand and asked Stivers, “Did yon writ#
this?” he jumped np and drew that pistol and
I cloud In and find at him. At I rushed
toward Mm I threw ont ono hand and yon can
ice hen where my finger wu bruited by the
trammel of hi* pistol filling on Ik’ Ho then
walked ont of the boon and went down town
with me where ha wu placed In custody.”
“Who la Captain Towler?”
"He it a high-strung, brivo _
la the fourth man he hu killed,
n pleaio and fall of grit. Ho wu acquitted
each case of the former klUlngi on tho
ground of self defence.”
“What wu this last tragedy about?”
“That I do not know nor does any one la
Grenade. It it generally supposed, however,
from tbe remark made by Captain Towler,
‘Did yon write this letter?’ that it wu tame,
thing about an inanlt offered lira. Towler."
“What were the oontonte of the letter?”
“That I cannot ny; It la In the hands of the
authorities and will, I tuppoao, be produced at
the preliminary trial."
‘Tit Mr*. Towler a young lady?”
"No. She la about 33 yean of age end la the
mother of uvorel children, tbe oldest being
shoot 13, She Is the daughter of the late
Judge Grey, who wu one of tho most promi
nent men In the commnnity. end hu always
moved in tha but circles. I think that she Is
a number of the Episcopal chnrch, end Cap
tain Towltr 1 know to be a vestryman of tha
me church.”
"Who wu the Bov. F. C. Stiven?”
“I cannot tell yon ranch about him. Ho
came to Granada from Louisiana a few weeks
ago, having been cent there by Bishop Thomp
son on e tort of a trial. He wu a yonng and
handsome man and teemed very fond of tho
aoclcty ofladlet. Tho statement that he was
bostdlog at the residence of Captaio Towler is
a mistake. Ha lived around among the mem.
lets of hla congregation, u I understand, an I
was only spending the woek at tho captain’s
bonce.”
Tilt tree that ho admitted he deserved be
ing shot?”
"All I know of that Is what I havo heard,
and Is common rumor In Grenada, They say
that after tbe shooting a physician, Dr. Smith,
naa called to are Mm, and that the doctor had
him removed from Towler's to hla owu honso
for treatment. At the latter piece, after hla
wound bad been dressed and he made u com-
fortablc u possible, ho opened hla eyes,
and, looking about, asked if he wu
not In the house of hit friends.
The doctor's wife auored him
that he wu, when he uld that Captain Tow
ler had jottifiabla provocation for what ho
did, and that be ought not to bo pnnlahed.
Tho dying preacher also stated that ha had
grosaly deceived tho good people of Grenada,
tut raid he hoped the good ns did daring Me
ministry there wonld overbalance the evil.
Tbe ladles uenred Mm that If he sru blame-
leu they srere still hie friends, bat ha told
them ho know ho had received his death
wound, and had bnt a little whllo to live." •
Tho dud preacher wu buried et five o’clock
isterday evening, end hla funeral ins one of
io largest attended oTer knosrn In Grenada.
Mr. Stivers wu a gentleman of platting man
ner a, about thirty yean of ago, and unmarried.
He came to Grenada from Jackson, Miss, and
hu relation Bring at Bastrop, La. Ho wu
the moat popular and eloquent minister that
ever filled a pulpit In Granada. II la uld that
Jnst before hit death ho asked that a lot of lot-
ten In hla trank bo burned, and Insisted that
one note In particular bo destroyed.
Captain William P. Towler wu bora ant

yean a conductor on Mississippi Central rail
road, now tha Illinois Central railroad. Ha

It was James Hart, who was at one time sheriff

"Kver haar of the hanging of the gamblere
at Vicksburg?" Inquired Captain Oglesbly or a
reporter, at the congress of ancients,aa those worth
ies gat hi red in the usual hobdomadal session.
"I'll tell you about It Aa a piece of amateur mu
nicipal Justice It took htgh rank In Ita day. To be
gin at tho beginning I have to go back to Natobex.
That place wu, lu Its day, tbe most bcautiftil upon
the Mississippi river between New Orleans aud m.
Louis. It Ison a bluff 200 foot high, called tho
North Chickasaw bluff. It was before tho war,
tho home ot wealth, many rich planters living
there. There men owned largo cotton plantations
In Mlmlw>lppt, others had great sugar plantations
In Louisiana. Uplnthecity the aocloty waa pol
ished and aristocratic. There waa a little bottom
next tbe river, and under tho bluff a narrow strip
tv here there waa a largo butlnesl done In tho way
of merchandising of various kinds, commission and
cotton rhlpplng. Silver street, next the bluff, bo-
tween that and tbo water, waa ooonpled by wblaky
sellers, gambling honaea, danco houses and other
bad resorts. This bluff had been. gradually Set
tling for three or four years. Erery now and
then there would bt a landslide. In 1KM
a great iaJJde made U necessary for the
Bllvor street occupants to reek other
haunts. The gamblers and lho other dis
reputable denizens wont to Vicksburg,
which had up to that time been rather an
orderly town, and desirable piece to live. Aftor
the.arrival of the gamblers Vicksburg began to he
notorious throush Its new population. Many out
rages were committed. I tea mo to suoh a*pui that
tbe good citizens of VIckaburg bald a public meet
ing to correct the abuses. A committee, with a Dr.
Bodley at the head, a prominent gcutlcman. re-
termed by erery one, vlilted Ibe gambling house*
aud whisky shops. Hand bills had been posted or
dering tbe gamblers to leave tbe town Inside of
twenly four hours. When the oommlttee appeared
a fight took place, In which Dr. Bod ley was killed
and two or three other citizens badly wounded.
This murder aroused the moat Intense feeling and
the highest excitement. I do not think a mob waa
ever organized In a shorter time. Fire gamblers
wbo were moat promlnont In tho attack that re
sulted in murder were taken up on tho hill aud all
swi ng up. It waa a great day for Judge Lynob.
When they were dead they were takeu down and
thrown Into graves at tho foot of the gallows, a
quantity of their fumbling Implements bolog
thrown Into tho ditch and bnrled with them. The
lynchers then took an old scow,and,putting ten ora
more dozen gamblers upon It who were not dirootly
connected with the murder, pushed It mil Into the
Misriarippl without oar or polo of any kind,and set
them adrift. Tbe remaining gamblers left tbe town
In gtcat hailo, glad to escape with their ilvos, aid
for many a long fear thereafter Vicksburg waa
noted aa a hlgh-grado, moral town."
