ST. Louis, Aug IA Sedalia special says
detectives brought to that city tonight a man
named Wells, brother Of one Of the Missouri
Pacific train-robbers, who had in his possession
! when arrested two mules, which he admitted
were bought with the stolen express money.
The morning papers will publish the confes-
sion Of Hobbs Kerry, one Of the gang who is in
custody, but it contains no points that have not
already been furnished, except that the James
! and Younger boys were positively in the scheme.
This is the first time that anything has been
traced directly to these outlaws, although they
have been generally credited with having hand

to attack the train. acting apparently more

train, aud shared the spills. It also appears
that the police authorities here had information

This project WAS abandoned, however, and

why The south is solid.

so - s1AAMa
New York Herald.l
The truth is the Republican party
does not deserve to carry any
Southern State, unless it be North
Carolina, where the parties are very
equally matched, and where the
Republicans are as respectable and
as certain to give the State a good
government as the Democrats.
They might have carried a number
of other States if they had paid
only a little attention to good gov
eminent down there; if il had not
been so long the policy at Washing
ington to encourage and support
with the federal patronage a set Of
gracele-s and INSCRIPTIONS politi-
cal gamblers and adventurers, to
the exclusion of honorable and
honest men, who might easily have
been brought into the Republican
party by the use Of a little wisdom
and good management. That the
South is to-day a unit, or very
nearly 90, for the Democratic party
is the fault of Republican misman,
agement at Washington. Every
man, no matter whether he is Q
Republican or Democrat, who de-
sires to see the Southern States
honestly ruled must wish that they
shall be carried this fall by The
Democrats.
