exceedingly downcast, refusing food and declin-

his bond as treasurer have petitioned for release,
and it is now certain that his Office will be de-
clared vacant, in default of new bond, unless the
Republicans come to his rescue, as they did in
the case of Auditor Dicks
The greatest feeling still prevails regarding the
recent disclosures of official rottenness, and
each day adds to the stencil, unwholsome devel-

Knox county Democracy will meet tomorrow,
and most profound interest is felt in its action.

include the Endorsement of the ticket as it
stands, with the exception of Dick for auditor,
who has mortally offended by accepting a Re
publican bond and employing Republican dep
uty, when they had it all cooked and primed for
squeezing him out and putting one of the old
gang in. Many shrewd politicians incline to the
opinion that the convention will break up in a
row, and, indeed that seems the most probable
outcome, as there will be determined effort to
have the late primary set aside and a delegate
convention for the nomination of new ticket
ordered This is the popular drift, but it will be
desperately opposed by the members of the pres

will be more likely to favor a split in the con-

which will be championed by ex- Representative

Mormons Moving to Mexico.

Ell PAso, Tex, April 29.-The Mormon hegira
into Mexico has fairly set in, and gives signs of
a steady flow from this time forward About
fifty families arrived yesterday, making over a
hundred families during the past two weeks.
Very few of those who have entered Mexico thus
far are from Utah, but come from towns and
villages in New Mexico and Arizona. They do
not disguise the fact that they are fleeing to
Mexico to avoid Imprisonment under the recent
laws, which they are informed will shortly be
enforced in other territories than Utah AS a
rule these sanity emigrants enter Chihuahua in
far better circumstances than the average citi-
zen of that impoverished State. They have al
ready acquired several thousand acres of the
best watered lands.

patronizingly. Some employers in such cases
have been abusive, saying about this: ''If you

Canvassing the Interior Department for Funds
for the knights.
Washington Special.
The Knights of Labor made formal request
upon Secretary Lamar for permission to canvass
the Interior Department for subscriptions to aid
the cause of the eight-hour movement, which
will soon be tested all over the country. There
is rule of the department which forbids this
sort of thing. and had it been any other kind of
an organization but the knights of Labor he
would have had no hesitation in refusing the ro-
quest, but as it is now becoming fashionable for
the administration to show how much it loves
the horny handed sons of toll. Lamar did not
dare to personally refuse, so he directed Chief
Clerk Lockwood to pen a letter to the working
men saying that the rules of the department
were against them, but he had no objection to
the clerks and employees handing any contribu-
ton TO the Waterman at the door, and If it were
so desired he promised to designate said watch
man as a collector for the fund.
