zens of Brooklyn, who with Detective

about four miles southwest of this city
and about fifty feet under the ground
found the nude body of a woman partial
" decomposed. Near the body was her
clothing. Death was caused by pistol
shot wound in the right breast. Other
wounds had evidently been inflicted on
the unfortunate woman, who, IT Is
thought, beyond any doubt Is the miss
ing Mrs. Graham
Her husband was married to Cora Lee,
an adopted daughter of Mrs. Motley, In
this city, on the 18th OF laS July. lie
was arrested on the charge of blgamy a
month ago. Last September Graham
wrote to his wife, who was with her par
ents ut Fort Wayne, requesting her to
meet him with the children at st. Louis.
He also sent money TO pay her fare. Mrs.
Graham did as requested, and her people
not hearing anything of her whereabouts
since then suspected foul play, and made
a vigorous search for her. Graham and
the second wife reside on the Motley
farm, where the body was found yester'
day, and when he was told OF the start.
ing discovery, he turned pale and looked
down at the floor, protesting that he
could not get justice here.
The case has been worked up by detec
tive Davis on the theory that Graham
quietly brought his wife on here and tax
ing her out to the farm orutally murdered

FIRE THEM OUT!

Dame rumor has been busy in Wash
ington, in the absence OF President Cleve-
land, bandying about stories, the burden
OF which is, that all Republican holdovers
will have to walk the plank when he re-
turns. A dispatch from the capital to the
st. Louis PoSt-Dispatch says "In the
Interior Department there are thirty
seven Republican chiefs OF divisions who
will be discharged by November lst and
their places filled by Democrats. In the
Postoilice Department there are eleven
Republican chiefs who will also be re-
moved. In the State, Navy and Army
Departments there have been few re-
movals, but all will have to go. There
are less Republican chiefs in the Treasury
Department than in any other single
branch Of the Government. Commits
soner Black has said that by December
lst there will not be a Republican
in that Office who is not under
Civil Service jurisdiction. Mr.. Bayard,
who had been conservative about making
changes IN his Department, has assumed
broad Democratic spirit and will make
very radical change" Our dispatches
announce the arrival OF the President in
Washington to-day, and the great hosts
OF The Democratic party will look
anxiously to see him inaugurate the great
"frng out" scheme. Even his greatest
enemies cannot expect him to hold Re.
publicans in Office who are not included
in the Civil Service list, but his greatest
friends do expect him to fire them out
forthwith and fill their places with men
who have all to lose by malieasance in
Office, and nothing but moderate salary
to gain. With the Republican holdoyers
it is different. Ii one Of them shall sue

ceed in bringing odium on the Demo-
cratic party by reason Of his personal
rascality, he but boosts himself several
pegs ahead on the Republican cribbage
board, and enhances his liability to prefer
ence over other Republicans for what they
call party loyalty, but which the law calls
embezzlement, theft or robbery, as the
case may be, and at the same time is
enabled to learn the inside workings OF
the party in power and keep his own side
posted. The retaining OF these men in
place and power would be ridiculous or
good joke on Democrats, ii ii were not
decidedly dangerous to their interests,
and now that all the barking is done, and
the country can see plainly how the old
thing works, it is high time to put it in
operation and start chorus of yels and
shrieks such as shall wake the echoes Of
Potomac Flats, and scare the omnipresent
sea serpent ont OF his hide and out Of At
lantic waters. While the Administration
hedges and hestates, the organs OF the
Republican party are in delight, for such
hesitation furnishes them with what
they believe is proof OF his fear OF their
lashings, and il he but put the machine
in full operation and pull the throttle
wide open, and "fre 'em out" on the
good old plan with Jeffersonian simple
ity, i. e. walk them Spanish fashion to
the door, double the right knee at an
angle OF 60 degrees into the brow OF their
pantaloons and say git" he will not
only gain the everlasting gratitude OF the
people at large, but will take from the
organs OF Republicans one OF the sweet
est morses they have for daily susie
nance, viz: his wavering cause in this
bounden duty, and his very forward
cause in opposition to the interests of the
advocates OF free and unlimited silver.

ANTI I-SALOON REPUBLICANS.

The work OF the Anti-Saloon Republi.
can Convention in Chicago, stripped of
its circumlocution and mutual admiration
proclivities, means that the Republican
party takes that method of attacking the
Prohibitionists, and keeping all who de-
sire to advance the belief and preachings
of prohibition, within the Republican
ranks. The managers OF tie Republican
party know very we'll that the Prohibi-
ton vote in Maine last week, portends a
largely increased vote in other Prohibi-
bition States, and something must be
done to keep the weak-kneed and back
absurdity was conceived and carried out
with this intent, and how little
sliding element in the traces. The Chicago
good it did, and how little it
affected the Prohibition movement
can readily be told by Judging
the standard OF the men who conducted
it. The keynote has been sounded by
Blaine at Sebago Lake, and echoed by
Frye, although the echo was not in sweet
accord with the keynote, and now every
renegade Republican who cannot enter
the Democratic camp, by reason OF the
fact that his room is more valuable than
his company, will on the cry OF "Pro-
hibition and the Republican party"
attempt to again ingratiate himself into
the good will OF the leaders OF that party,
in the hope that by the aid OF the Pro-
hibitionists, that party can again obtain
power, and they will be sharers in the
spols. No incentive of honor or care
for the success Of Prohibition enters
into their work; only and solely a
hope to reap the reward OF spoils gained
by the help OF the Prohibition vote. That
the Prohibition party will grow and take
on strength between now and 'SS is past
all doubt, and that it is composed OF men
who know how hollow and hypocritical
are the preachings of the Republican
party in advocacy Of Prohibition, there
can also be no doubt, leaving the convic-
ton that the Republicans are barking up
the wrong tree and likely to be attacked
in the rear by the very men they hope to
corral as allies. While the Prohibition
lists can never hope to originate such un-
constitutional legislation as they desire,
in the Democratic party, they know
well enough from experience that
that party will enforce such laws
as are made, and that is something the
Republican party haye not done for
twenty years past 1t should therefore
be clear to all who look for the enforce
ment OF law that they may not hope for
it with Republican rule, and that they
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-09-20

may hope for it, and obtain it, under
Democratic rule. 1t is, therefore, clearly
their duty, as it seems to be their intent,
to weaken Republican influence when
ever and wherever they can, and in 50
doing give proof that the recent efforts OF
a handful of self.constituted Republican
leaders have no effect on them as party,
and that Republican aims and conclu-
sions are mendacious and untrustworthy.
