making the race with Senator Harris's
approval and that Senator Harris did
not want a man to 30 to Congress
from this district not in accord with
him. Phelan said he had no war to
make on Senator Harris, but that he
proposed to enter in a respectful but
firm manner, his public protest against
Senator Harris's right to put anybody
for Congress- in the field.
As general summing up can say
that Phelau astonished and delighted
his friende. His opponents think him
mora dangerous than ever in this
county and his friends are now mora
solid and uncompromising than before.
Col. Paterson is supported by the
most Influential men ut Bolivar and
was frequently cheeied. But his fol-
lowing Is not compact, and while bis
friends are hearty and warm they are
not enthus' as'ic. With heavy odds
to contend with, Phelsn held his own.
He introduced himself to the audience.
Both candidates leave on the next
train for Memphis.

THE ARKANSAS ELECTIONS
THE ENTIRE STATE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET ELECTED BY A
Largely Increased MOjOrity-Whisky
Victories In All Counties Where
Temperance Was an Issue.
lsPpoIAL TO rHE APrrAL.I

LITTLE Rock, ARK, September T.
The arkansas Gazette has special elec.
ton returns from thirty OF the sever
ty-tivs counties of the State at l2
o'clock tonight, and although no o.
fetal information can be drawn from
any of them, all show that the Demo-
cratic State ticket has held its own in
each county, and has made crafty
ing increase over former years in thoss
heretofore going against the ticket.
Especially is this the case in Wash.
inglon county, the home of Judge
Gregg, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, and which has long gone wrong
on the State ticket. 1t gives a clear
msiority for Hughes this time.
White county, the home and hot
bad of the political Wheel, elects a
Wheeler County Sheriff and gives a
majority for Cunningham. Had the
canvass lasted two weeks longer the
Democrats would have ousted the
Wheel and righted the vote of that
county.
Nevada county, the home OF r X.
Garland, the ia her of Greenbackism.
and which contains the riffraff OF
every communistic element of all or
position to the Democratic party,
sticks to its antecedeuts and gees for
the Greenback- Republican ticket.
Jackson county, although fostering
the leaders of the political Wheel and
which has been most thoroughly can
va'sed by that element, gives Hughes
handsome majority.
Judge @. E. Mitchell, Repub ican
candidate for Circuit Judge OF the
Twentieth Judicial District, is elected
by small vote. The district is Re-
publican and he, although turDcoat
Democrat, got in by the skin of his
teeth.
Garland's c'unty, in which Hot
Springs is situated, gives a straight
Democratic majority, the fist for fif-
teen years. The county also decides
to do without liquor for two years.
In all counties where the temper
ance question was made an issue the
whisky men have won decisive major
tiles. Crawford county, heretofore
electing mixed ticket, gives straight
majority for the party of the pc pie.
Johnson county ditto.
Previous predictions concerning
1000 majority for the Democratic par
ty in this county still hold good.
The prohibition and whisky men
had row down in Campbell town
ship, resulting in the ballot box being
brought TO the city today containing
only one solitary vote aud that cast
for Oliver. The Democrats have mag
unanimously offered to give the Repub-
licans all they claim in the township
in case the poll boxes cannot be
found.

JACKSON, TENN, September S.-Mr.

found dead in his bed tnis morning.
The cauae of his death is supp sed to
have been falling down steep pair
of steps last Monday night. His ply
sician and some friends were with him
last night, and left him resting easy,
and thought be would soon bs up aud

ST. LOUIS POLITICS.
A Vast Deal of Bad Blood Devel-
Oped.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, September 7. The
state OF politics in ST. Louis and imme-
ate vicinity has become somewhat
exciting during the last few days aud
has developed vast deal OF bad blood.
The Glover and anti Glover fight 10
the Ninth District has perhaps fur
nished the greatest AMOUNT of exci'e-
ment. Saturday free fight was in-
dulged in at the meeting OF the Con-
gressional Committee, which resulted
in number of broken heads and
blsckened eyes, and in which Ed But
Ter, well known ward po itician, had
g rib broken and arsJained other se-
we're injuries. Yesterday several
pitched battles were indulgsd in at
the Glover primaries in the First, Fec
ond snd Third Wards, the faction
which won the fight invsrir by reius-
ing to permit the vanquished to vote.
TINS resulted in two primaries being
held in each ward anG contesting dele.
cations being sent to the convention
which met Today. Hardly had the
excitement over the primaries sub
sided when the days turbulence was
rounded oct by the shooting of Con-
stable James F. Ryan by Billy Cody,
a ward rouuder, from the effects Of
which Ryan died this afternoon.
Across the river, in East ST. Louis, af-
fairs are in ttill worse shape. An
election for City Clerk and Police
Judge was held today and was marked
by an unusual amount of fighting. At
some Of the polling places voters were
arbitrarily hindered from voting while
all other challengers were unceremo-
nious'y thrown out The most co.,
spicuous ejectmeot OF this kind was in
the Fourth Ward, where Judge Louniz
and his challenger, join Moore, were
overwhelmed by the opposition against
them and were thrown into the
street.
Altogether political affairs have as-
sumed an interesting phase.
The Congressional Convention of
the Ninth District nominated Hon.
John M. Glover for Congress this
evening. The convention decided
that the candidates who opposed Mr..
Glover's nomination and who were
besten at the primaries yesterday
were not entitled to representation,
and Mr.. Glover was then nominated
by acciamation.

The Democrats OF Sdissi s;ppi coun.
iy were so hap ~ yesterday that the
State of Arkansas was hardly big
enough to hold them. They defeated
Sheriff w. B. Haskins, OF Osceola
county, who was candidate for
Sheriff, by about 800 majority on
Monday, ana as the returns poured
in Little Democrat Sullivan's brass
canuon, which bad been bor-
rowed for the occasion, doomed
necessarily. The vote of the
county was about 1890, and
the entire Democratic ticket was elect
ed. ]. E. Reddick, of Greene county,
was elected Judge of the Second Cir.
cult; W. Bard Edrington, Prosecuting
Attorney; II. T. Blythe, Representa-
tive; L. d. Rozzell. County Judge /;
W. s. Hayes, Sheriff and Collector !;
Hugh r McVe'gh, Circuit Court
Clerk; Pat H. Clay, County Surveyor;
James Lection, County Treasurer; J..
M. Lawrence, Coroner, and B. L. Hill,
County Assessor.
The election passed off quietly. There
was only one serious difficulty. jos
Holmes and John Wesley, one Re-
publican, the other a Democrat, be-
came involved in difficulty near the
voting place at Nodina about a woman,
and drawing their pistols, fought
regular duel at short range. Both
were mortally wounded, the bullets
taking effect in the abdomen. Holmes
ran eff and hid in graveyard close
by, but the pain became 80
great that he fred his pis oil off to
summon assistance after he had been
in hiding short time. There was
the greatest excitement, however, all
over the county, so much indeed that
the Mayor of Osceola deemed il pru-
dent to keep the saloons closed until
4 o'clock yesterday evening.
The interest centered in the election
for Sheriff. There was a deep deter.
minstion on the part of the Demo-
Gratis to beat Haskine, and they laid
awake nights to do it, A desperate
effort was made. 1t was successful
and Haskins was completely broken
up by the result. He gave way en-
tirely vixen the result was announced
and would not be comforted.
d. Hsskins moved to Mississippi
county f,on Osceols about fifteen
years sgo and has been Sheriff for the
past eight years. He has not affiliated
with either party, but has managed to
carry the darkies nearly solid, and
enough whites to elect him, although
the whites are in the majority. lie
has made a national reputation as an
officer, and it is said OF him that
no criminal has ever sought safe
refuge thtre nor any crime
committed there gone unwhipt OF
justice. He is a natural born detective
and has unearthed numerous thieves
and murderers, not only in his own
but in other par of the State. The
two negroes hung at Marion
last Fri0ay were discovered and
convicted on evidence procured
by him. He took pride
in his work, and wss utterly tifeless
in the pursuit of his prey. He
employed ss deputies a lot of men
who are declared to have been the
scum of the earth, and their dishon-
esty caused the recent prosecutions
against him for failure to account for
funds collected. He borrowed about
$4,000, mortgaged his hons and
worked here mailer for e-slection,
but failed.

Another Account.


BOLIVAR, Tenn, September I'm
the gladiatorial contest between Col.
Patterson and Mr.. Phelan here today
the general impression was that Phe-
Ian had made a hit. Patterson had
made speeches here before, and his
friends claim him to be good stump
.er. He fully maintained this reputa-
ton, but their further claim that
Phelan could not hold his own is
not justified by the facts. On the
tariff, Phelau threw Patterson on the
defensive and forced him to declare
against the Chicago platform. Phelan
warned him that Cleveland, in bis an
nual message, had expressly said the
question of free trade against protec.
ton is not now at issue, and invited
him to enter into discussion against
a Republican tsriff before a Demo
cratic audience. Patterson fell into
the trap, and made the usual anti
war tariff speech, going into
details all of which Phelan
had claimed in no respect af-
fected his position on the question.
Phelsn said he stood on the Chicago
platform, which called for incidental
protection within the limits of a rev.
enue levied for the purpose of an
economically administered even gov
eminent. He favored such discrim-
ination es would favor Southern in
dustries now just struggling to their
feet. On the Blair bill he defined his
position, and Patterson in reply took
exactly the same position.
Patterson took a square position in
favor of free trade, discarded the Chi
eago platform and protection in all
forms and shapes. He insisted on
holding Phelan responsible for the ut
terances of the Avalanche, and said
that had 1t not been for the course of
that paper toward Senator Harris he
would not now be a candidate.
Phelan detailed the steps by which
James Harris had withdrawn from
the race, the manner and the way in
which Patterson had become can
didate. He read extracts fro n card
signed by Patterson, and eaid that
Col. Patterson had placed himself on
such a dizzy altitude that it made
the head of an ordinary man swim to
look up at him. He deprecated the
idea that he could make any
attack on Senator Harris and ex-
hausted his eloquence in speaking of
him, but taid Senator HAIRS had not
