The Diving Old Party.

CHICAGO, October 20. - While the
Times sditorially figures out that JEWELS
messages to Florida wero really indi-
cstivs OF Republican fraud, 1t dsnounees
Baruum for exceeding bad faith for pub
fishing private dispatches which he OBJ.

take. Its New York special, however,
regards Bsrnum's claim as ridiculous.
and accepts JEWELS explanation as not
only plausible but correct. The feeling
here 10 that Barnum's campaign is de-
generating into q stage OF weakness and
almost into despair. as evidenced by the
bogus Chinese letter, written to q man
who never lived and addressed to o
union which Is a myth, and. as shown
by this last desperate and contsmptibls
trick, the Democrats themselves unite In
condemning such methods, and agree
that the cause OF the Democracy is be-
coming hopeless indeed II 1t must DO
bolsterei by such means. Some OF
them accuse Jewell OF laying Q trap for
Barnum, into which the latter easily and
weakly dropped. The accessions to the
Republican ranks OF known Democrats
are numbered by the score daily in this
section. The chief cause are the agita-
ton Of the tariff question among the
manufacturers. the solidily OF the South.
the disreputsbls tricks resorted to by
the Democrats, the superiority Of the

than all, the desire Of the young voters

SUNDAYS SERIOUSNESS.
Politics Discussed with Fists end .
Fist pus 90 . worse Purpose Bsiil.

Yesterday was notable on the Com.
stock for contentious political and other
wise. They began in . North O street
saloon at 8 A. NJ, frst by wrestling. then
BY sparring. and finally by fighting. the
whole being accompanied by strong
words. Some noses were bloodisd and
one bitten. No arrests, hence no names.
Yesterday afternoon scotty Young,
John Roach. William Burns and John
Kerr. alias Liverpool" Jack or "Cock-
ney" Jack. with others had . jaw on
South @ street, sort OF sequel TO others
at other times and places. Blows fol.
lowed and Officer hartman undertook to
take all the participants before Judse
Moses. He got them % far - Taylor
street whom the fight began anew. TART
man was In trouble. Hs would take
one out OF the crowd, pass him to .
citizen with instructions to take the
offender before Judge Moses. and then
take the second out. By that time tho
first would DO back and into the mill.
Finally one Of the Shsrif's deputies
came along and all those named except
Kerr we're arrested. The men fought
we'll, but no one wal damaged much.
Scratches were more numerous than
bloody noses.
And In this class OF Sunday serious
nesses must DO recorded another dis
graceful affair which happened at the
race course. A well-known hardware
drummer had his chestnut horse and his
buggy there, and . D street dsmsel was
allowed to take both for . little drive.
She took also into the buggy . female
bird OF the same feather. II 10 said
that the horse wal driven twice around
the track very rapidly when the drum
msr stopped the girls, pulled the last
mentioned q out OF the buggy and
struck and kicked her. One man says
be saw him strike the girl. She 10 GER
tainly badly beaten and bruised. The
gentleman who rode to the artillery
practice with the drummer refused TO
return In the same buggy and came In
with Captain Lord. BE said he would
have walked In sooner than TO have
ridden In with one who had so disgracsd
himself.
The sequel to the foregoing came
about 1890 today. Mr.. Pierce. the
drummer above referred to. met In front
Of Harris cigar store. @ street, Virginia,
]. NJ. Taylor. the gentleman who accom-.
panied him to the artillery practice yes
terday and refused to ride back with
him. An assault wal made on Mr.. Tay.
lor by Mr.. Pierce, who wal thsrsupon
arrested.

More Heather DoisEs.

Last week In passing along @ street.
near the Divide, the writer saw ahead OF
him q Chinamsn. at whom q little dog
ran out and barksd. The Chinamsn
threw something to the dog and passed
N. On examination that somsthing
proved to be q piece Of meat, in which
so much poison had been placed that 1t
was green inside. This makes 1t prob
able that these heather have been the
rascals who have poisoned SO many val.
liable dogs OF late on the Comstock. II
seems to be u we'll connected plan to kill
of all watch dogs 30 as to have Q clear
field for thieving. These dogs always
make a disturbance when o Chinaman
IL about and alarm the neighborhood.
With the CANNES out OF the way the
coast 10 clear and the pigtails can prowl
undis,urbed. The latest case OF poison
ing Of o valuable watch dog was last
night at the Washoe Brewery.

Altogether B0gus.

New YoRx, October 23.-D. B. Anger,
tss Postmaster ct Washington. writes
to Marshall Jewell today that no
such canoeling stamp as that shown On
what purports to be the envelope In
which Garfield inclosed the letter on the
Chinese question was In use in the
Washington Postofloe on the 23d Of
January. the date the letter is claimed
to have been mailed. The fac simils Of
the stamp appearing on the envelope in
question 10 o good imitation OF the can.
ceiling stamp introduced in the Wash.
ipRton office in April last. The letter
says: "It is totally unlike the one in
use in this Office on the 23d Of January.
the old stamp being made Of rubber and
the new one OF steel. and very unlike In
their arrangement" It will therefore
DO seen that the postage stamp, a. we'll
% GsrHeld's signature. IL proven TO DO
. forgery.
NEW Yoax, October 23.-Ths Tribune
says OF the forgery as printed In fac.
simils: II was Q sslf-svidsnt forgery and
o clumsy imitation Of GarAeld's hand
writing. The misspelling OF Q word In
the body OF the letter and other facts
clearly showed that the forgers who at
tempted to palm of this spurious affair
ON the public were not bold enough In
countsrfeiting the P~ostofacs stamp in
Washington ever to bring out the date.
The supposed fac-simile stamp Is much
smaller than any In use, and both letter
and envelope bear many marks OF the
Ignorance. osrelessness and bungling
methods OF the men who devised the
fraud.

ARTILLERY Practice.

The practice Of Battery A, Nevada
ARTILLERY. F. G. Lord. Captain, was very
satisfactory at the r%acs.course north OF
Virginia yesterday. Four shots bit the

gated, the guns being three-inch muzzle.
leaders and riled. The gunuers ex-
ploded shells In front Of the target and
above and all around and riddlsd things
considerably. The ammunition used
was old and unreliable or better work
still would have been done. Some OF
the powder had been dampsned and was
baked hard and would have been Don.
demned for actual service. Portions Of
IL were made In 1868. Tho wonder is
that under the circumstances the boys
did as we'll as they did.

EASTERN DISPATCHES.
n Renub,Icans OF the South.

NEW Yonx, October 2S.-Ths follow.
ing address was issued by the Republic
can National Committee for circulation
In the Southern States:
To the Republicans Of the Southern
States-Ths Solid South was The shio.
bolsth OF the Democratic party at Gin.
cinnati. Senator Hampton told the Ma.
tional Convention Of his party that l3S
Southern electoral votes could all be
counted In advance for the Democratic
nominees. This was in defiance OF the
well-known Republican majorities IN
hall Of the Southern States. and the
threat was that they should not DO re-
corded. The Republicans OF the North
are fully aroused to the truth that the
Democratic party conquered these States
by violsnce. and now propose to retain
them by fraud. For q tins many thou
sands Of our people were unable TO real.
ize your situation. and the wrongs OF
which You complained seemed to them
too startling for belief; but time has
shown that the half had not been told.
The indignation 10 as profound a. the
cause OF It. Il pervades the patriotic
masses OF the North. The triumphs
achieved this month In Ohio and Indiana
but forsshsdow still greater ones to come.
They prove to Us the death.knsll Of the
solid political South. Now 10 your oppor.
tuuity for q vindication before the world.
In the presence Of the second uprising
OF . great people the Southern Demo-
cratic leaders should hesitate to further
persecuts you or attempt to silence your
voices. Today patriotism, free speech
and q fair ballot are sectional. because
they are not permitted to exist In the
South. The National Republican Com.
mittee, speaking for the party which
has struggled for t%wsnty.four years to
make freedom national. appeals to you
to cast your vote on the second OF No.
vsmbsr for the candidates OF your choice.
Have trusted Republicans ut every poll
ing place during the election to register
In books OF their own the votes which
you deposit. Be prepared 10 this man.
nsr to demonstrate to the people OF the
nation Just how many votes you cast In
each State. Then let the Democratic
party show the people how many OF
them they will dare refuse to count a.
cast. You will thus vindicats your man.
hood, dignity and citizenship. and either
compel the Democracy TO count your
votes or stand convicted OF having openly
defrauded you OF thom.
