named John L. Franklin, dating from that time.
suspicious fell upon them. The particulars
were all reported to police headquarters and all
the facts noted. Last night Mr.. Marshall In
formed Lieut.. Vernon that his nephew has been
seen Ia this city and the Lieutenant started out
in search. He was soon rewarded for his
trouble by meeting Ihrie about o'clock in
South Washington, In company with two men,
and took him into custody. 1t appears from
his statement that he has been used as a
catspaw by his new acquaintance, Franklin,
who originated the robbery and got the lions
share OF the booty The robbery was done be-
Tween IL and O'Clock at night, after which
both TOOK a hack for Alexandria, when they
took the Telegraph road and footed it for Rich
mond, where they have been living on the
fruits OF the theft, and where Ihrie states he
parted with his partner, since which time he
has no knowledge OF his whereabouts but
thinks he is beating his way through the rural
districts thereaboutS. Franklin Is represented
by Lieut.. Vernon as an old thief, and travels

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-03-27


THE Austin correspondent of the
Dallas Commercial says OF the payment
of poll tax as o condition precedent
to exercise of the ''privelege" of suf-
frage that?
1t will be good system Of registra-
ton it viii enable tax collectors to
gather in many dollars which could not
be collected by any other means; and
it will exclude those who have too little
interest in the management of affairs
to pay two dollars for the privilege of
voting. OF one thing you may be GER
tain-Sambo will not be deprived of
his vote by any such law. Self denial
is not his forte, but rather than lose HIS
vote he will buy fewer water melons
when they first ripen and are high
priced, or he will find some one willing
to pay his poll tax for his vote.
Then, for the first time, Sambo will
become a profitable citizen. But this
letter writer is mistaken. The worth
less and stupid cease to sell votes for
whisky. They finally abandon the
business and only the industrious and
intelligent preserve the privilege.
Such is the operation of this peculiar
poll tax in Georgia. But it enriches
the schools and lessons and eqlaliz.s
burdens of taxation
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1879-03-27

RANDALL's and Tilden's elevation
will drive off from the party the last
paper money anti-bank Democrat in
the West and South. Randall, hard
money, anti-Southern Pacific and anti
Southern in all things, fills the second
highest office in the country. He says
that the South is blindly partisan and
the name is all that the South cares
about. He wears this label, and pur-
suing course to please the selfish
bond-holdlng East is omnipotent, and
simply because of the obsequiousness
and one-idealsm of the South. Randall
and TIlden are the masters of the party
in Washington, and the question re-
mains whether they are to be supreme
in the West and South.
