Evening Journals telegram says:
Guiteau was hanged to-day at l2:40
p. NJ. lie was very restless during
the latter part of the night, not sleep
ing more than twenty minutes at a
time. Towards morning he fell into
u sounder sleep from exhaustion. He
rose a few minutes after 500, and
breakfasted heartily at $50. When
the cook took his breakfast into the
cell. Guiteau told him to bring his
dinner at IL o'clock promptly. DR..
Hicks, who remained at the Jail all
night. was called into the prisoners
cell as soon rs he rose, and held a
conversation on religious subjects
with him. At 500 DIR. Hicks saw
the prisoner again, when he made a
request to have a bath, and asked
Hicks to go out and see the scaffold.
Guiteau pressed him to arrange with
the warden to have the trap sprung
as soon after 1900 as possible. lie
also expressed considerable anxiety
lest some accident occur, and insisted
that Hicks should see that the
scaffold and its appurtenances
were all in proper condition.
After Guiteau had disposed Of
these matters he read a poem COM
posed by himself which he calls
simplicity. Religious baby talk"
After reading it aloud he at.
tempted to sing it but broke down.
Guiteau then talked about the future.
He remarked that his heart was
tender. don't think, he said, that
can go through this ordeal without
weeping, not because of any great
weakness, for the principle i'm me is
strong, but because | am nearer the
other world. | hold to the idea that
God inspired me.

TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY.

Stranded on the rock of reputation
is where the Democrats of Tennessee
find themselves. The State Conven.
ton met at Nashville on Wednesday
of last week to nominate candidate
for Governor and other State officers
and by their proceedings, according
to the Courier.Journal. the leading
Democratic newspaper of the South,
Republican victory has been made
easy" The majority of the delegates,
recognized as "low-tax" men, proved
to be In favor of the reputation of
the State obligations, and the minori.
ty known as "the State.Credit" de-
tenders. summarily withdrew from
the convention when the reputation
platform was adopted.
The platform of the repudiationists
is an unique docu ment, in that it de.
clares 'that the Democrats of Ten.
nessee, with their majority of the
popular vote, are the rightful guard.
ians of the honor and good name OF
the State, and they willingly accept
the duty and responsibility of pre-
serving them from faint or suspicion
and that it is legally their right and
duty to settle its Indebtedness" de
timing the matter of settlement in
such vague manner as really to mean
nothing short of reputation.
This movement on tho part of the
majority will very likely give the
State to the Republicans. The mi.
nority of the Democratic party is
bound to "unfurl the pure banner OF
honesty, and sink with it in defeat
or carry it triumphantly to victory
"All of which, says the Courier Jour.
nal "means that the State Credit Demo
Gratis will unite with the Republicans
for the accomplishment of the re-
demption of the State"
The day of the "Solid South" has
passed, and in emerging from the
blind party zeal that has beclouded
the progress of that section for 50
many years, CLEAN of returning
business activity and moral courage
is observable.

TIE past two weeks have been
fraught with unusual disaster in the
loss of life as well as destruction of
property. Following close upon the
heels of the Iowa cyclones, comes a
horrible railroad accident which hap.
pened to u wOrk-train Saturday after
noon last on the Manitoba road, near
Willmar, by which thirteen laborers
were killed and several more or less
seriously injured. The train had on
board about fifty workInen and was
backing down empty to the AtwateI
gravel pit, when the engine jumped
the track and rolled down the en-
bankment into Il pool OF water OF
considerable depth, dragging with il
the cabOOse and five fiat cars, on
which were the Inflated laborers
The scene after the wreck is pictured
as horrible i'm the extreme. as indeed
il must have been, and caused strong
men to turn away from the sight
presented, where the living and dead
were laid in mangled horror on the
grass by the roadside. Such CHASTITY
scenes battle description, and create
a pathetic feeling in the hearts OF
men that speak louder than words the
sorrow felt for the victims and Their
bereaved ones.

In response to an inquiry from the
State superintendent of public in
struction, the attorney general has
rendered an opinion that the county
superintendent cannot revoke a
teachers license during the term
without sufficient reason, and the law
says the same can only be done on
account of immortality, incompetency
or neglect in discharge of duty. He
further thinks the board are to be
censured rather than the teacher IN
case of incompetency, as it is their
business to fully examine the teach
ers before granting a position as IN
structor.

Dixie Land.
AS Viewed by an Eye Witness.


Go South and settle in the back.

a place to decay in. 1t was there we
found town of about six hundred
inhabitants. 1t had q saw mill sur.
rounded by stores and residences.
while logs, lumber, hogs, weeds and
mud, adorned the town common. On
the pOrticO of his mercantile estab.
lishment was seated the country mer-
cant. He was proprietor you know,
and did the talking, which appeared
to be the main business of the place,
while boy within waited upon
customers. We saw the cOuntrymen
dropping in. dressed in home spun,
with u remark about the weather and
the desire to buy plow ''pint,' II
plug of tobacco, and little snuff for
the sole woman. And wishing to
see more of country life we drove out
about u mile where We found Il
beautiful cottage surrounded with
acres of native oak and paradise of
lawn. The residence was that of a
country gentleman, and was tasteful
in all its departments. Well dressed
children were playing on the porch. Il
lady was entertaining company with
music on sweet toned instrument.
On the walls were pictures that had
been bought in Europe, a large rs
sortment or choice books adorned the
library, and in fact everything that
indicates taste and culture. The
gentleman was a great talker. lie
talked Of the Tennessee department
OF Conkling, Jeff. Davis, the negroes,
newspapers, the comet and the yellow
fever, and he talked well, but of
course he didn't finish. for being
weary with our ride we called for oui
room and retired. The soil Oh the
river bottoms is probably as fertile
as anything in Minnesota, but these
lands are very high priced and ex.
ceedingly unhealthy, while the up,
lands are miserably poor, producing
gravel in place of grass, and are in
many cases so inaccessible that thou
sands of acres will stand uncleared
until the day of judgment, and why
the Tennesseean calls for emigrant.

is impelled with Il desire to do like
other people, for surely if there b,
nothing else to sicken a newcomer

THE DIFFERENCE.

As usual, the Recie0 drops down
upon the popular side, now that the
tidal wave of popular sentiment has
buried its feeble opposition to Mr..
Waketield's candidacy too deep for
resurrection. In commenting upon
the Republican Congressional Con
vention, Mr.. Wise very humbly re.
marks:
The Republican congressional convention.
which met in this city last Wednesday, was
largely attended and rs u whole was u very
creditable representative body. The dele
wsfe esty young active and intel
ance made by Mr.. Wakefield, the nominee, Is
a concise statement of his political views
They are those generally entertained by the
people 81 this section, REGARDLESS Of party
lines, and expressed by Democrat, In Il
Democratic aSsemblage, they would have
been received us approvingly Us they were by
Dir. Wakeheld's followers.
Evidently the editor of the Recieao
has been converted to the belief that
Mr.. Wakefield is not the unprece.
denied wretch he has been wont to
picture him, and THE FREE PRESS is
gratified to know that its position
toward Mr.. Wakefield throughout the
canvass is even at this late hour so
manfully defended and justly verified
by Mr.. Wise.
After reading the above extract
from this weeks RecietD, and taking
1t as solid diet, the appetite of all who
believe that consistency is a jewel
will be satisfied by partaking of the
following bit of desert, copied from
the Rerie0 of May 30th:
No authorized exposition has yet been
made of Gov. Wakefields views upon the
issues which so seriously interest every farm
binations and pools, from which the agricul-
tural interests Of Minnesota have 30 grew
iOusly suffered. Party success is held above
these selfish considerations, and they are
practically told that other brains will look
after these things and the farmers mission
IL 10 vote as the leaders tell them, not to
NEEDLE their minds with politics but look
after their farms.
In the above, the ResieD desired to
carry the implication that Gov. Wake
field had no views which he dare ex.
press upon those issues of such vital
Importance to agricultural interests
of this section, and would have the
farmers understand that it was none
of their business "nOhOw." All OF
which was unjust, untrue, unkind
and uncalled for Us the Reciep now
acknowledges.
