WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-AttOrney
General Brewster Is exrecte.l Tues.
day, when proceedings viii be inaugg,.
rated and pushed vigorously In the
Star route bribery cases. District
Attorney COrkhilI has finished the
preliminary work. All papen that
he had has been sent to the Iepart-
ment Of Justice for the use Of the At
tOrney General. The absence Of par-
ties supposed to he implicated In the
approaches made to jurors In the in
terest Of the defense, has been the
cause Of considerable comment. The
opinion prevalent Is that Washing
ton IL ut present too warm for their
comfort. The opinion Of Government
officials at the Departmental Justice
is that they will have no trouble in
cOnvicting several would-be jury
fjxers, a. the evidence taken before
District Attorney Corkhill h said to
he very convincing. Star routes show
unCasiness and much anger over the
fact tie department of justice decided
to take full charge Of the jury at the
bribery Investigations. The chief
Star Route organ opens its abuse Of
the Attorney General to-day and 9TH
ers who are connected with the ef-
forts - expose the attempt at bribery.
J. Hendricks McIIane, the n0n,i-
nee VI the combined opposition to
the Bourbon Democrat for Governor
Of south Carolina has just arrived.
He says he had u lively time with
Bourbon Red shirts during the cam
vass. He was nominated by the
anti Bourbon combination and by
the Republicans q week later. For
some days he was treated well while
speaking, but ut Winnsborough .0n the
18th Of Sept, lie heart that Thoinp-
son, the Bourbon candidate for Gov
ernor had on the 18th, while address,
ing the people publicly, said: "iOu
remember the reception you gave
TAFT here in 1850. When McLane
comes here give him the same kind,
or w.rse." This WAS reccive(l with
loud shouts Of I'VE will" 1t will
be remembered Taft, . Republican
orator, was mObbed Mt Winns-
borough, his meeting broken up and
lie personally assaulted 80 violently
he would probably have been killed
ii some Of the leading h;en had not
interfercd to prGtect him. The Drnl-
Ocratic County Chairman tried tO
protect Mcl.ane, but the drunken,
armed red SHIRTS followed him from
the train to the court house, where
they filed the halls aud per-onally
assaulted the candidate, tearing his
clothes, kicking and vilely abusing
him, and wien he was finally
pushed into q private Iml;
ior they hrutally STACKED his-
white fricnts. The cOiorcsl people
remained quiet during the melee.
Only two bourbon papers have dis
approved the affair, and the leading
ones justify 1t. He Afterwards spoke
In several placcs, but had to give up
one engagement, Mayor Chester tcle-
graphing him that he would he una
ble to preserve peace. Mr. Lane Is
quite confident OF success, and de-
clares he will be the Governor, IL
elected, even II he has to appeal 10 the
Federal Government.
A Raleigh special says that the Re-
publicans Of Palmyra County adopted
the following: WHEREAS, a report
IL being intlustriOsisly circulated
that We Republicans Of number two
township would not vote for Capt.
Jas.S. Lame who has publicly solicited
the support and proclaimed himself
in opposition to. 1IOurlsOn Democracy
and, whereas, little Democrats have
him rusii.nl;
RcxOirr.i, We will vote for Jim
Lane, "Be he spirit Of hell or goblin
bringst lie Will. him airs
from heaven or blMsts ircla hell"
1t comes In questionable shape but
We will vote for him as against liOur-
ION Democracy.
