Coz. BoUDIEoT states that Ek-
Congressman w. a. PHILIPS, Of
K4nsas, demanded and received $22,-
500 from the treasurer of the Chero-
kee Nation on the representation
that the money was TO be paid to
Secretary TELLER and Senator
DAWES. The latter named gentle
mer never received this sum of mou.
ey, aud when the truth is fully es-
tsbhshed it will involve PHILLIPS
in a crime of the most shameful char.
acter the robbery Of the govern
ment and deieuc eless people who
Depend upon our Government for
support.
PHILLIPS is dyed the WOO
Republican. He was cent to Kansas
by the New York Tribune, ss a spe-
cial reporter TO .hst paper. and dur
ing his stay there was successful i'll
getting into Congress from that
State, .
Ii the statements OF BoUDINor are
true, and We have every reason to
believe that they aro.it places PHIL
LIPS in very precarious situation
before the people, for be is liable Ia
prosecution for procuring money un-
der falee pretenses. It seems though
that the time has come when Repub.
lican officials regard it as a right
eous act to cheat and defraud Uncle
Sam, and they are ambitious to
become sleek handed experts at this
kind Of fraudulent business.
Turn them out.

IT is surprising what a difference
there is between Southern Dem
ocrat, and a Republican who halls
from the same section. Any man
it makes not the least difference
what his course has been since the
war, who lives in one of the South
ern States, and who votes the Dem-
ocratic ticket is dubbed a rebel by
the Radical press of the North. If
he was an officer In the Confeder-
ate Army, and votes the Dem
ocratlc ticket. be ia considered a
traitor, and a man unfit to hold
any cfice o, trust. What a great
change it makes though if be sud
denly turns his political coat and
esFouses the Republican cause
Instead of being a rebel and a
traitor be suddenly becomes a pa
triotic American, and ten chances
to one, be is given a position of
trust by the Administration.

KINGWoOD, JANUARY, 4 1884
Titohnon for tho Legislislaturo

IlJchnoll Tor tho GeglSllSlature.
THz campaign in this county will
likely set pretty warm by the time
tae nominating conventions meet.
Already We hear the names OF sever
al different individuals spoken Of in
connection with the different Offices
within the gift OF the people OF the
county. We have not, az yet, heard
OF but one man, however, who openly
announces himself es a candidate and
that man is WILLIAM D. TIToHYELL,
Esq.,, Of Portland district. Mr..
I1TcGNELL asks the nomination for
the Legislature at the hands Of his
Republican brethren, aud from ali
appearances, at the present time he
has ali excellent show of getting it.
MIR. L. has host OF relatives and
friends on the East Side who will
leave no stone u1turned that would
likely be beneficial to his interests.
aud bes des this, be is an agreeable
ahable gentleman, endowed with
proiundity of sound common seuse,
and withal is just the man who would
take well with very large majority
of the Republican voters OF our conn
ty.
The Republican party Justly ow es
Mr. IITCHNELL the nomination for
the Office he sspires 10, and lte heerty
support at the polls. Ever since
he attained the age of majority he
has battled late ami early for that
party. end, being a man Of unlimit-
ed influence, it must be confessed
that he has done his party Efficient
service. He has never before press
ed his claim upon the party Tor office,
but has gone forth like a true patrot
and represented the principles which
be maintained to be the true the best,
with ali the dignity incident 10 a
man of his character.
Further, the Republican party
owes Mr.. 7. the nomination for the
Legislature because he is a self made
man. He has had very limited op-
poItunities to make his mark among
the men of this commonwealth, yet
by hard study INTEGRITY OF action, and
honesty of purpose he has fought
against obstacles which would have
debrred other men of less firmness
OF mind, and to-day he ranks among
the leading Republicans Of THE
county.
Again Mr., 7, as We have been in
formed, has always beer a stsunch
friend Of Senator DAWSON, and Of
course, the Senator will feel obligat-
ed to give him hearty support in
the convention. We are well aware
Of the feet that DAWSON is oue Of the
most influential men the Republican
party can boast Of in Preston county.
The man who gets his support in the
Convention will be the nominee.
No one will doubt this fox a moment
Mr.. T., no doubt, will be the re-
eiPient Of the Senator'S support and
Influence and we see nothing to hio-
der him from getting the nomipa-
tioD.
After viewing the situation in all
tie bearings, we are led to believe
that if fate has dscreed that the next
member Of The Legislature from East
Side is to be Republican, VIII
LIAM D. TITCHEELL Of Portland
district, will be the nau.

Especial Correspondence OF the Globe.
HASTINGS, Mimi, Sept. 15.-Never in the
Hastings Union Industrial association, has
there been the interest in the fair that is
manifested among all classes this year, and
never have the prospects been so aattering as
this year. With fair weather the grounds of
the association will be filed TO OVERLOOKING
In the number and variety of the attractions
aud in the number of entries for floral hail.
our fair will eclipse the state fair and the
Minneapolis, or indeed any Of the fairs thus
far held in the state, and your correspondent
speaks from observation having attended all
the fairs thus far held in the state. Most of
the horses from both Ovation ua and Still
water will be on the track and there are from
six 10 nine entries in each class. Programme
for Tuesday will embrace the green race with
six entries, and the 2:40 with eight well
known steppers. On wednesday Miss Eta
Mather. OF Mar iban will ride against Miss
Myra Eckles OF Mortified, two well known
lady equestrians, and as both ladies ride
thoroughbred and trained horses an inter
esting race may he expected. In addition to
the above will be the 2:13 and 2:30 pacing
with five.
In the way OF stock, horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs the stalls and pens are all full al
ready.
/ have not time to particularize but must
mention the display OF Joseph Firner, hard
ware, OF Hastings, which is the finest thing
OF the kind that your correspondent has ever
seen. At 10 O'Clock on Wednesday and
Thursday mornings will occur the auction
sale OF stock in front of the ampbitheater,
st. Paul butchers and stock buyers and
sellers should bear this in mind.

A special dispatch from New York to the
Washington city Sunday Gazette Of Sept. 9TH,
says:
1.-The stalwarts have concluded to take Blaine
at the words of his friends, and 1t is to the
knife now. j can positively affirm that MIR.
George G. Gorham's recent visit to Gov. Cleve
land was part of a carefully matured plan OF the
stalwart leaders of this state, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania. l am sure that In less than two
weeks such men as Pierce, Endicott and Forbes
OF Massachusetts, Conkling of New York, Came
ron and Quay Of Pennsylvania, Foster OF Ohio
and New of Iddiana will unite in supporting
Cleveland. President Arthur is cognizant Of the
plan, and fully endorses il, although for obvious
reasons, he will not openly come out against
Blaine
The movement above indicated is certainly
in harmony with the well known views of the
gentlemen above named, and all who know
them know they have the courage Of their
convictions. Daily developments are GER
tainiy pointing with unerring certainty to the
final political doom of very corrupt poll
tician.

No Possibility of ReconeiIiatior

New YORK. Sept. 15.-Mr. Morosini was
seen at his house and said his daughter
called this morning to see her sick mother,
but remained only about ten minutes. She
declared ten minutes was the time allowed
for her calls by her husband. Yesterday on
her own responsibility, as she said, she staid
FIVE minutes longer. Morosini said his ED
est daughter did not wish to see her father,
her sister or her brothers, and indeed had re-
marked she did not care If they all died. He
had, therefore, avoided seeing her. He bad
hoped she would return and repent but she
cared for nothing IN the world except the
man she married. She was com pletely
changed from the dutiful and affectionate.
religious girl she was before she went away
The change was so great that he had recov-
cred from his grief and was now willing 10
forget her. She could 90 her own course
she was Incidentally lost to all sense of pro-
priety and to his family, ana there was no
possibility of a reconciliation.

Trouble Among Coke Producers.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept 15.-The Connells-
vile Coke Produce association is meeting
with some new opposition from the pig iron
men of the east. They claim the condition
of the pig iron trade will not admit of their
paying pool prices for coke, and that unless
the price is reduced, they will have to bank
their furnaces. Some of them have already
taken action and notified the coke men to
ship no more fuel at the present prices, that
they have concluded to close their furnaces
until such time as they can operate at a
profit Other eastern pig men are endeavor-
ing in every way possible to induce some of
the Connellsville coke men, not members of
the association, to furnish them coke at re-
duced prices. So far no cuts have been re-
ported and the efforts of the eastern pig
iron men to get their coke for less than the
pool price has been failure. The action Of
the pig iron men in moving for shut down
of several weeks, in order that production
will be cut down, has caused some uneasi-
ness among all coke producers
