HesSing's Death Denied

Los ANGELES, August 30.--Dan H. Barting, of Guaymas, mining partner of Boss Hessing, who arrived in this city to-day, says that the reported killing of Hessing is a canard. He left Hessing but a few days ago, miles away from the scene of the murder. He says the report grew out of the killing, by Apactes of two men named Chord and Noble, whom Hessing had sent to Guaymas to procure money to pay of his hands. Dan Barting further denies all the stories Tn circulation Tn refer ence to the revolution in Sonora. He says the government has merely called out troops to suppress the Apaches, who have recently become bad in that state. Dan Barting says direct railroad connection will be made between Benson and Guaymas in few days.
 CHICAGO, August 30.-The follow ing dispatch was received at 2:30 o'clock this morning, by Washington Hessing:
 Los Angeles, Cal, August 29.- The report in the Tucson Star about the killing of your father Is untrIe. Await letters from Sonora. Signed H. Barting, American vice-consul.
 Nothing later has been received by A. 0. Blessings family regarding his alleged death. The Staats Zeit- ung this morning accepts as conclu- sive the statement of vice-consul Barting that the story is a canard, and MT. Washington Hessing concurs in this opinion, arguing that the consul would not telegraph a contradiction except on positive information.

THE Democratic County Central Committee, in its deliberation, on Tuesday night, acted wisely. The two main resolutions passed, covered all the debated ground, and asserted sure remedy against fraud. The first provides that the presidents of the clubs, assisted by the advice of the secretaries, have authority to erase from the club rolls all names not properly belonging there. The second recomends that where the roll of any club is neither inaccessible for voters, or being only manipulated, the Democrats of the respective wards form second club, the merits of each and all to be determined by the county convention, when it meets. These resolutions, if proper ly carried out, will do away with the possibility of fraud, and render the will of the majority paramount. Those who now refuse to harmonizc, may be counted as non. believers in an honest ballot.
Tombstone weekly epitaph., 1882-09-02

THE suspicion is becoming general that Dorsey never sent the impudent letter alleged to have been written by him to Garfield, but that it is a recent product designed to secure the sympathy of President Arthur for the star route thieves. It is argued that although Dorsey may be a rascal he is not a fool, and would never have written such letter to a President whose favor he was anxious to secure. The belief that Dorsey wrote the letter within the last few days and antedated it, secures sup port from the statement of Colonel Bliss, that at the time the letter was dated Dorsey held entirely different views from those which the letter ex. presses. But whether the letter was bona fde or not it gives good evl- dence of Dorsey's character and o1 the methods which are resorted tc among "practical politicians" to over. ride high considerations of state fol the qualification of personal spite and the furtherance Of factional jeal' ousies.
