Ipdge Ruckner,s CandidacY.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat.
Mexico, Mo-, May 12.-Judge
Buckner, Congressman from this dis
trict, who has just arrived from
Washington, was seen this afternoon
at his home in this city, and in an
swer to inquiries made by Jour cor
respondent said that he had come to
Missouri at the request Of his friends
in the interest Of his candidacy for
the nomination for Governor. 81
SHALL" said the Judge, 'be in the
State six Or eight days, and will
make my first speech in that direc.
ton at Bowling Green some day this
week, and perhaps in other towns in
the state. I do not expect to make
a general canvass unless Congress
shall adjourn earlier than I think ii
will. In that event I shall make it as
vigorous as my time will permit"
What do you think Of the defea,
of the tariff bill by the House,
Judge?"
at Is possible that Mr.. Hewitt
may introduce his bill in the House
to-day, but l doubt whether the
Committee Of Ways and Means will
report on the bill to the House at this
session. The effect of the defeat OF
the bill will be to bring tariff reduc'
ton more prominently before ths
National Convention and make it q
more prominent ISSUE"

BEN SUGGETT INDICTED
For the Murder of Craighead.-The
Parties who Shot the Negro not
Discovered.

FULTON, No., May 12.-The Cir
cult court Of Galloway county ad-
journed to-day, after one weeks ses-
sion. The civil and criminal bust
ness disposed Of was slight. The
Grand jury had INT week Of hard
work. The principal cases before
the body were the murder Of r. D.
Craighead, who was called from his
house and shot on the 26th Of Febru-
airy last, and the murder Of Ham
Patterson, who was dragged from his
bed and shot on the Srd OF this
month. These murders are stamped
with all the elements that make q
deed dark and fiendish. Ben Sugget,
who was arrested on the 18th Of
March and held for the Craighead
murder, was indicted for murder in
the first degree. For the murder Of
the negro Ham Patterson no one was
indicted. Yet the murdered man
recognized and gave the names Of
two or three Of his murderers before
he died. The chain of guilt seemed
almost complete, when certain par
ties we're brought before the Grand
jury and established an alibi.

Fer Governor.

Hon. A. Fl. Buckner is home from
Congress on a two weeks absence,
and informs US that during that time,
be will make as thorough a canvass as
possible for Governor. There are
many friends he would like to meet,
and many counties he wishes to visit,
but his time is limited, and while he
is ambitious to be Governor he can
not neglect his duties at Washington,
which promise to be rather impor-
tant. Buckner is developing q strong
following all over the State, - the
press and correspondents show.
Phelps being ont Of the race. brings
the fight between Buckner and Mar
maduke, and it promises to be rather
interesting.

For State Senate.

The report that j. E. Hutton was
off the track for State Senate is false /;
he is square on the track, as an
nounced in the LEDGER last week.
He and Judge Buckner will speak
next Saturday at frankfort in Pike
county and will make a thorough can
vass of the entire district. He is an
able speaker, well posted in all the

The Two Col0nels.

Col. j. E. Hutton Of the Inteui-
gencer, says he does not read Col.
Whites paper, the LEDGER, and the
LEDGER editor says a great many
naughty jokes about the IateAigen-
Ger editor which the latter never sees.
Friends have attempted to mediate
between the two, and this week sue
ceeded in arranging a kind Of peace
treaty, at least so far as the LhDGER
is concerned, that paper coming
to the front and supporting Col.
Hutton for the State senate from
this district. Just how long this
armistice will last it is not known,
but it is sincerely hoped by the
friends of both parties that the bad
feeling will end here and that Hutton
will get the nomination

THE CONVENTION.

OF late wears, Democratic plat
forms have been constructed by ma
tional conventions, but in the crisis
in which the party is involved this
custom may be omitted with great
propriety. Previous to Jackson's
nomination, platforms and nomins-
tons were suggested by Congression.
oil caucases but that held this session
utterly failed in Its attempt to return
to old methods. The caucus could
not even hold Democratic congress
men, much less the party.
Free Traders and Democrats in
clined 10 make unheard OF conces-
sions to that faction, ought now to
understand that the practical inaug-
urstion Of its theories is not what is
demanded by the majority Of the vo-
tiers of this country, and that it will
be time enough to reform the Tariff
when q change in the national adj
ministration shall have been secured.
The really important matter OF the
hour, is to furnish voters with q can.
didate for the Presidency, whose
personal character and sentiments
command universal respect. At this
time, auch g candidate is an indis.
pensible Democratic factor. With
out such an onel to support. it Will
be impossible for voters to attain
what they evidently ardently desire
At present a platform is Of secondary
consideration. 1t will be far better
for those that wish to get from under
Republican rule, to 60 into the com
ing presidential contest with such
candidate, than upon a platform thai
shall fail to command universal as
sent.
The coming national Democratic
convention has a very important
duty to perform, and delegates to il
ought to be representative men vel
informed as to the desires Of their sew
eral constituencies. and not devoted
to pet theories of any sort.

A Foreclosure Action.

The CARL Opera House Mortgages in
QuestiOn-Decfsion Reserved.
A suit for the decree of foreclosure was
brought in the Superior court before Judge
Stoddard yesterday afternoon by Harriet
Warner vs.. Peter R. Carll
The plaintiff has two mortgages aggregat-
ing $40, 900 upon the land which forms the
site of the CARL Opera House. The debt
bears interest at the rate of Z per cent
Some time ago the plaintiff obtained decree
of foreclosure upon 81, 800 of overdue inter
est, the court fixing the period for redemp-
ton at fifteen months. Within that time the
indebtedness was settled up and the decree
ceased to be in force. Since then unpaid in
terest to the amount Of 81 200 has accrued,
and this is the occasion of the present Ieti-
ton.
Colonel Dexter R. Wright appeared for Mr..
CARL and asked that the time for redemption
in his case be fixed at fifteen months from
date. He said that Mr.. CARL would be pre-
pared to pay the interest aecruing after May
LIST, and that the present interest debt would
have been discharged had he not been COM
PEELED to pay So, 600 or $4,000 from the re-
ceipts of the house to save it from being dis
mantled. He paid a glowing tribute to the
energy, perseverance and public spirit dis
played by Mr.. CARL.
Mr.. White objected to any long extension
of the time for redemption. Judge Stod-
dard said Mr.. CARL had been very lenientIy
treated in the past. MIR. Wright made two
or three suggestions as to conditions in the
decree securing prompt payment of the in
terest accruing after May l. Judge Stod-
dard said he would reserve his decision for a
week.

any of them.
In the case of Charles W. Bradley, of the

Mr.. Blydenburgh stated that he wanted suf6

that he intended to file a supplementary COM

reason for revocation the keeping open on

Haven recently, left three sons, two of
whom. William 81. and Charles w, are of
''The Hoyt Brothers Co." planters, ship
pers and wholesale dealers in native oysters
in Fair Haven; the third, James W., a resi-
dent of South Norwalk; and one daughter,
Mrs. Burbank, residing on Clinton avenue,
Fair Haven. The South Norwalk Repub-
lican says: George Hoyt, who died in New
Haven a. the residence of his son, William
H., April &c. was born in NorwRlk at the old
family homestead ON Maple avenue, 1905.
He MAS lineal descendant of Walter Hoyt,
who removed from Windsor, Mass, to Hart
ford, thence to Fairfield and settled in Nor
walk, 1923. The deceased was well and
fayorably known from early manhood as An
earnest Christian worker in the Methodist
Episcopal church in this city. Towards

friends and neighbors he WAS ever consid-
crate, and always manifested considerable
interest in behalf of the youth, whom he de-
lighted to counsel. He was a true patriot;
Fl ON the outbreak of the rebellion he was on
the side of the government, and entered into
its measures for the overthrow of those who
sought its destruction with zeal worthy of
the cause which lay SO near his heart. The
funeral services took place at the house of
his youngest son en- South Main street, this
city, on Tuesday last the services being
conducted by the Revs. Thomas and Pegg.
The remains were inferred in Union eeme-
terry, Five Mile River.
The South Norwalk Sentinel paid the fol-
lowing tribute: George Hoyt died in New
Haven last Friday evening, in the 10th year
of his age. His last illness was prolonged
one, and for some time his recovery was
deemed impossible. His remains were
brought to this city, and the funeral held at
the residence of his son James Monday af-
ternoon. As requested by himself four years
ago, Rev. w. 81. Thomas offciated, and
spoke of him as he deserVed,-as the most
perfect Christian character with which ne
ever came in contact The deceased was ia
miliarly known throughout this section as
Major" title obtained as musician in the
militia and which followed him all
his life. He was one of the pioneers of
Methodism in NorWalk, and Rev. Mr..
Thomas found in the old church records at
Winsted minute of his acting as class leader
as far back as 1886 He joined the church at
an early age, and during all his life by word
and example strove to advance his Masters
kingdom, and at all times, and under all cir
cumstances, in an unobtrusive way, pre-
scented the Christian religion TO his fellow
men. As class leader he was well known
in adjoining towns, which he visited In that
capacity. In all his life he seemed to dwell
in religious atmosphere. He believed in
and believed God, and took
him at his word His religious
faith was complete. and it carried him
in triumph through all the phases of lifes
experience. The writer was in close friend
ship with him, and knew him well. It was
he who furnished the data for the Revolu-
tionary "reminiscences of Norwalk, published
in these columns several years ago. We can
say of him that wherever and whenever we
saw him, We always found man true as
steel, lover of his fellow men and a wor-
shipper of his God, firm for right, the very
soul of honor, and consistent in all his pro-
fessions Hundreds in this place, and hum
dreds who have gone out from it will cherish
the memory of George Hoyt, and be ever
thankful that they knew him as a neighbor,
a church member and class leader.
