Mr.. WARNER MILLER, elected to the
Senatorship in New York, is publicly
charged with being deserter from the
army by the Colonel and Lieutenant
Colonel of the regiment in which he
served, and has not met and refuted
the disgraceful charge. He bas been a
Representative in one Congress, and
has been denounced by the Half Breed
organs, the New York Tribune, Times
and Euening Post, as corruptionist, a
lobbyist, monopolist, and a man who
is ready to sacrifice his public duties to
his personal interests. The Rochester
Union and Advertiser SAYS of him:
"The man is of the smallest calibre and
most mercenary character, and the
methods by which he was chosen are
iu keeping with the choice. 1t is un-
necessary to recapltulate the proofs, as
they have been furnished by the press
of his own party during his late term
IN the House of Representatives and
during the present canvass, and as they
have been given from day to day. But
all this aside, what fall is there from
the men who have gone before in the
Senate of the United States from the
State of New York-from Philip
Schuyler, Rufus King, Aaron Burr,
Martin Van Ruren, VIM. L. Marcy,
Silas Wright, VIM. H. Seward, Fran
cis Herman and Roscoe Conkling to
Warner Miller I"

BLOODY WORK OF A MONSTER.
Horrible and Extensive Massacre on
One OF the Fiji Islands.

San Francisco. July I5.-The Fiji
Times of April so, has the following:
The schooner Elizabeth returned from q
trading cruise on Sunday, bringing news
most horrible massacre that has been
perpetrated at Tapitawa. one of the Line
Islands. II seems that some years ago a
branch of the London Missionary Society
was established in the Island Honolulu,
under charge of a Sandwich Islander
named kabu, who succeeded in prose-
lyung the entire community. Upon
their embracing Christianity he induced
them to give up all their weapons into
his care, and everything went smoothly
for while. Latterly, however, people
living on the southern part of the island
became dissatisfied at the constant re.
QUESTION made upon them for copra, and
considering Kabu's Christianity too dear
at the price, they apostatized. Kabu
then preached a crusade against them
and arming his followers, led them on in
person, beating two clubs together, and
shouting xiii! Killr The carnage
which followed is almost too horrible for
belief. The most atrocious enormities
were practiced ON their victims by the
victorious party, and after the general
slaughter the wounded were collected
together, piled one on top of another
and the roof of an old house placed ovel
them. which the miscreant. Kabu, fired
with his own hand. When the Elizabeth
was at the island the beach was still
strewn with decomposing bodies of men
women and children; but the arch fenC
in the transaction had been taken tc
Honolulu in the Hawaiian vessel, Storm
Bird, to answer for his almost incredible
crime.

A DESPERATE DEED
Six Road Agents Stop and Plunder a
Train.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 16.-Informa.
ton has been received here by the in
coming G. r. & I. P, train of daringly
planned and successful train robbery
which occurred at Winslow, a station on
the r. I. & A., short distance east of
Cameron. The robbers We're six in num-
ber, supposed to be under the leadership
of Jesse James. The linen boarded the
train, which leaves this city at $50 p.m.,
at Cameron. At Winslow where the
train stopped they stood up in the aisle
of the car with drawn revolvers One of
the bandits, a man with heavy black
whiskers, advanced with revolver in
each hand toward William Westfall, the
conductor, and ordered him to hold up
his hands. The conductor was slow in
complying with the demand and was
shot through the heart by the desperate.
One of the other men then shot FJohn
Mccullough, stone cutter of Wilton
Junction, Iowa, who turned outward in
his seat, through the head. The men
then went through the train to the ex-
press car and overpowered United States
Express Messenger Charles Murray, of
this city, who was intimidated into
opening the safe, from which $4,000 was
taken. The desperadoes then went to
the engine and told the engineer to start
his train. This he could not do on ac-
count of the automatic brake and he
was at one utilized as a target by the rob-
bers. The engineerlput out the lights in
the cab and crawled along the footboard
to the pilot and extinguished the head
light and lay down on the pilot. The
robbers made no search for him but de-
parted. No attempt was made to rob
the passengers. The populace about
Winslow rose up enmasse and armed
men are now endustriously seeking for
the desperadoes.

The Democratic Candidate for Gov-

The Democratic State Convention
did an excellent thing when 1t selected
John w. Bookwalter as candidate for
Governor, for he is undoubtedly the
strongest man that could have been
placed at the head of the ticket. Long
before the Convention met it was evi-
dent that Bookwalter was the choice
of the workingmen Of the State, and it
was but proper that the industrial class
should be given representation by the
marty which has always been friendly
to their cause. He is identified with
the interests of the workingmen and
has always shown himself their friend.
He has treated his own employees like
men and not like serfs. He has never
rnterfered with their choice in politics,
and has never either persuaded them
with false promises or driven them by
threats to vote contrary to their lncll-
nations. Last fail, while Republicans
were bulldozing their employees into
voting the Republican ticket by telling
them that if Hancock should be elect
ed they would close up business and
discharge their men, and other lies of
q like sort, Bookwalter told his men
that while he intended to vote for
Hancock himself, each one of them
could freely vote as he pleased, and
whether Hancock or Garfield were
elected, the work in his shops would
60 on.
In politics, IN years gone by, he
might be .classed as an independent
voter, taking no active part in either of
ahs parties, but in later years he, has
identified himself with the grand old
Democratic party, believing the success
of its principles to be for the best in
terests Of the country and the largest
Number of its people. The noble stand
he took in the heated canvass OF last
fall has endeared him to every lover of

R. L. STANTON, D. D., has printed in
the Independent, the great religious
newspaper Of New York, a three COL
umn article on Temperance and poll
tics in Ohio" in which this doctor of
laws predicts the defeat of Governor
Foster by many thousands Of anna
jority. He cites many facts tending
to support his predictions, and writes
from radical Republican standpoint.

LAST fall many of the Republican
proprietors of big business and manu-
featuring establishments bulldozed
their employees into voting the Repub.
lican ticket by threatening to close
their establishments if Hancock should
be elected, or by threatening to dis
charge all the men who voted the Dem
ocratic ticket. John W. Bookwalter,
when the head of one of the largest
manufacturing establishments inspiring
field threatened his employees that the
shops would be closed in the event of a
Democratic victory, Mr.. Bookwalter
called his men together and delivered
the following characteristic little
speech : "Iuen, l am q Democrat and
propose to cote for Hancock. Many Of
you are Republicans. Vote for acAom
you please. THIS establishment will not
close, no matter qUho is elected" This is
the kind Of a man the Democratic can
didate is.

malign and hate him. Conkling knows
