The assassination of DIR. Dinkgrave.

The Assassinati0n of DR.. Dtnkgrave.
The Times has the usual theory that Dr.
Dinkgrave, the Republican tax collector of
Ouachita, was not killed because he was
Republican, but for private vengeance. To
carry ont this theory it produces story told
by Q gentleman who lived in Monroe until
sereral gears ago. This, the Times thinks,
prevents his knowledge of the difficulty
from being doubted or questioned. But
there are other gentlemen more familiar
with the origin OF the difficulty" which is
assumed by the Times to have caused this
murder, and they do question the accuracy
OF the statement. The gentlemsn's stand
ing is probably we'll known, and his char
acter for veracity can not be questioned,
but the information given the REPUBLICAN,
varies greatly from that published in the
Times.
To begin with. DR.. Dinkgrave was
neither sheriff nor deputy at the time of the
affair with Wimberly. He was attending
Mrs. Lisle professionally. Wimberly came
there drunk, quarreled with DR.. Dink-
grave, and would have killed him if he
hadn't been shot himself. DR.. Dnk-
grave was exonerated as committing a JUS
tifable homicide. Wimberly's brother did
not swear he would "avenge his brothers
death" On the contrary, he, with all the
rest of the family, justified the act, and he
and DR.. Dinkgrave have been fast
friends ever since. The Times informant,
who was IN Monroe until several years ago,
is satisfied, without seeing him. that this
brother murdered Dinkgrsve. If it was he,
H. G. Dobson and j, Benoit, who were with
Dinkgrave, would have known him, for
Dobson knows every man, woman, child
and horse in the parish.
This story, not one prominent feature of
which agrees with the facts, is precisely of
tho character OF that that was told after
George King was murdered and Senator
Twitchell rendered helpless. 1t comes
earlier in the day, however, for that won
derful tale required q month to concoct.
The "Bean theory" of the green goggled
man was first to be exploded in that case.
Experience is good teacher and judging
by the relative increase Of facility of COM
position the account of the next private and
ancient circumstance of the life of Repub-
lican official will be printed az causing his
murder about week before his death.
There is sufficient cause to believe DR..
Dinkgrave was murdered because he was a
Republican then, and not because he killed
man to save his own life eight years be-.
fore. Ali information has come from Demo
cratic sources, but this is known. For several
months he had been threatened; he was
the principal Republican organizer and
worker in the parish, as Twitchell was in
Red River. He was told that if he did not
cease organizing colored club, some night
he would meet up with blue ruin" which
is perhaps the Ouschita substitute for bull
doing. There is other information to be
obtained however, and it will no doubt still
further contradict the stories that have al
ready been received.

Tho Nominations in Ouachita.

The conventions held on Saturday passed
off very harmoniously. As We predicted,
Mr.. George B. Hamlet was nominated tor
the Senate unanimously, as also was Judge
Robert Ray foI district judge. That both
will be elected by overw helming maiorities
we do not doubt in the least. Mr. Hamlet
has been in this parish about four years,
and the various positions he has helc he has
filed with honar to himself and credit
his friends. We have no doubt that ir ~

How Sayler Became Speaker of the
House.

House.
There is a little un written history of how
Milton j. Sayler became Speaker of the
House that may be of interest to the public.
1t is generally well-known that Samuel
Randall and Holman run the House, or at
day before Sunset Cox was ordered by John
Kelly to start for st. Louis and aid in de-
feating the nomination of Tilden, Ssyler
had a measure which he wanted to get be-
fore the House. He tried to do SO, but
Randall held the floor, and in his usual
brutal manner refused to give it up. In
this he was backed up by Holman. The
result was that Sayler became OK.
ceedingly angry. He walked up the

of the Mississippi would be forced back
ward. In fact, ne cursed Randall, Holman
and Cox most Outrageously, and 80 openly
that the attention Of several members was
attracted. In his rage he declared his in
tentfOn to break up the little ring that was
running the machine" This came to the
ears Of the triumvirate, and it was arranged
that Sayler should be made Speaker when
Cox went away. Cox left with the expec-
tation that Re, would be relnstated when he
returned, but Randall and Holman, like
the two members of the Roman triumvirate,
turned against their absent associate, and
worded the resolution 80 as to make Ssyler
Speaker during the absence Of Mr.. Kerr.
They did this to head off the aspirations of
Sunset for the permanent Speakership in
the event of Mr.. Kerr's death, which was
daily expected, with the understanding
that Randall should be elected Speaker.
and Holman thus be left as chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations. Mr..
Kerr's scontinued lingering was disap-
pointment to the conspirators, and the
election goes over, with q fair prospect that
Sayler will be the man selected, instead Of
Randall. Thus it will be seen that these
men were actually conspiring for the sue
ceseion while their friend was lingering in
agony. We remember one other noted in
stance of the kind. 1t was when the Ro-
man soldiers threw dice for the mantle of
our Saviour while he was enduring the
