Senator COlquitt and Congressman
Gambler on the ROstrum.
GAINESVILLE, GA, Oct. 3l.-At meet
ing of the Democrats of Hall county this
evening at the court house there was a
grand demonstration. The court house
was brightly Illuminated and the brass
band discOursed good music. The house
was crowded with the elite of the city,
numbering 700 or 800. Major Joseph H.
Butt, Representative, was Chairman, and
IL. w. j. Ham master of ceremonies. Mr..
Ham introduced Senator Colquitt, the
orator of the evening, in a very happy
manner, who made one of the best efforts
of his life. The Senator's speech was full
of grand thoughts and abounding
with elOquence. He tore the Republicans
all to pieces and revived the sleepy Demo-
Gratis. He held the audience during his
whole speech, and gladdened the hearts
of all true Democrats and brought the
Republicans close to the altar of repen-
tance. All is well in Hall county. and

majority. After Senator Colquitt had
finished, Col. Gambler was called for very
loudly, and responded in few very appro-
pirate remarks, entreating the Democrats

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 31.-The
Democrats are encouraged by the news

Key West is regarded as safe for Perry.
Heavy Democratic gains are expected in

Polk and Orange counties. No doubt is
entertained Ofthe election of Perry, Mabry

awakened will be kept alive till after the

STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
Representatives Milliken and Stewart
Sign a Minority Report.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Represeuta-
tives Milliken and Stewart, of the Com.
mittee on Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Justice, have signed the minority
report on the investigation by that COM
mittee at the last session of Congress of
the prosecution of the star routefrauds.
After reviewing the conclusions Of the ma
lority ana commenting upon them at sOme
length for the purpose of showing that they
were unjust to Mr.. Bliss, the counsel tor the
government, the minority say that the star
route frauds were undoubted and enormous.
Inc prosecution was not successful. This
want of success seems to be ascribable, not 10
any want OF earnestness, sincerity nor ability
on the part Of the prosecution, but rather t0
the magnitude of the interests involved and
70 the dehclencles In the criminal statutes of
the United States. However. this NAV he the
truth that committee of Congress, partisan
or otherWlse, is no better adapted TO supervise
or crltlclsc legal campaign than il is to con-
duct military one, finds apt illustration in
the inadequate and partial report of the ma
lorlty. Mf. Millken has also appended re-
port TO the majority report of the committee
concerning the fees, etc charged against
the government by United States Mar
shals and other officers under the De-
partment of Justice, and expressed
his individual conclusion. He fully concurs
with the majority in recommending the
abolition of the fee system, but takes the
ground that the assertions of the majority
report are too general and sweeping.
''They simply" ne says, ''charge Wholesale
corruption of Marshals. Deputy Marshas and
District Attorneys, and corruption of in
spectOrs Of election. This charge of general
corruption" he says, sis untrue. a vast
majority of the Federal officers In the dis
trlcts investigated are honest and faithful,
and were not -oppressors of the people, unless
the enforcement of wholesome laws for the
collection OF the governments revenue and to
protect the rights of citizens be called Oppres-
sion. Most OF the officers complained
of were required to execute Federal
laws in lawless localities where vio-
latiOn Of the election franchise and
frauds upon the revenue were sustained by
almost entire communities, The low moral
tone OF their surroundings, he thinks, may
partially account for, although it does not
Justify, the deterioration of many of these
officials. He denies that the testimony war
rants the charge that the administration ap-
pointed men for their incOmpetency or dis
honesty, but says: sit may have been unwise
as 1T was certainly unfortunate in its APP
polntment of so many who were not in politi-
cal sympathy with it, among whom was
found large majority of these unfaithful

PERJURY IN UTAH.
The COnnally POlygamy Case Fail
Through False Swearing.

The COnnally POlygamy Case Fails
Through False Swearing.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 31.-The Connel-
ly polygamy case was dismissed this
evening in the United States Court. The
Judge said that the testimony differed so
radically from that before the grand jury
that he was astounded. The most glar-
ing perjury had attended the evidence
given. The prosecution had stated to the
court that they had produced all the evil
dence which they had been able to find,
and after diligent inquiry were satisfied
that there was not sufficient evidence to
warrant conviction.
The court concurred in this view, and
said: IL regret to say that am of the
opinion that the ends of justice have been
foiled in this case by false swearing. l
hope never to see it again in this court.
In view of the evidence, the court directs
you to find verdict OF not guilty." The
jury returned a verdict of not guilty with
out rising. The Judge spoke in a very
earnest and impressive manner, and was
affected nearly to tears.

Free Trades Effects in England.

LONDON, Nov. l, 2 A. M.-The House Of

trade versus free trade. In the discus
sian it was stated that complaints were
made that rents were diminishing every
where, and that capital was leaving Eng
land, being invested in protectiOnist coun-
tries. English trade is suffering from
foreign bounties and protective duties.

An Election Supervisor Tries to Have

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31.-Judge Pardee,
of the United States Circuit Court, to-day
heard argument on the petition of United
Stated Supervisor of Elections George L.
Norton that State Registrar Brewster
''show cause why 1925 names of illegal,
dead and other disfranchised voters found
on the registration rolls should not be
erased and cancelled" The Judge, in
deciding the case, said:
do not know any statute that confers ju-
risdictiOn upon this court outside of the inter-
ests of the United States Supervisors of Eec-
tiOns and other Federal officers which it hiss to
guard. II there was reference in this case to
any direct statute of the United States, this
court might be of competent jurisdiction, but
this is a matter upon which this court cannot
pass. The motion that the State Registrar
show cause why these names should not be
stricken off is denied.
