Tuesdays Election.

II is doubtful whether two-thirds OF
the people of Dallas would have voted
hod the election occurred any day this
week. owing to the absorbing interest
in the two fairs. Everything has been
in n rush since Monday, and the aver
aoc business man and his employees
have had scarcely time enough to eat,
mich less attend an election. But the
same state of affairs will exist next
Tuesday, and unless moro interest Is
manifested i'm The choice Of officials TO
govern us for the next two years, than
has been developed in this city up to
this time, there will be great falling
off in the vote from non-attcndancc,
and consequent loss of voting
strength and prestige in the various
Democratic conventions. The people
owe it as duty to themselves and the
country mt large to attend aud partlci-
pate in the election next Tuesday. Dal-
las should bring out her full vote, and
as far as possible in the election back
up her claims of increased population
since the last election. The vote OF a
city is taken as a guide to the city's
population more reliable than dirccto-
rics and even census returns.

EniachOod Nailed.

A falsehood circulated for the pur-
pose of prciudicing Alliance men
against Judge Abbott has been effect
ually nailed. II was reported that Mr..
j. ID. Scott of Long Branch, Ellis
county had said that Judge Abbott
tclcgraphcd the Hill county delegates
TO the Waxahachic convention as fol-
lows:
"The Alliance men were so green
that the devil would have to hang
them up to dry before he could burn
them"
Mr. Scott comes out in card and
fatty contradicting the statement,
Judge Abbott is man of too much
sense and too considcratc of the feel
ings of the alliance people to make
such a remark, however much ne
might differ with them on qcestiohs oil
public policy.

which arrived last evening from
Puerto Cortcs, Guatemala, brings
news of an interesting character from
that country. The greatest excitement
was caused in the city of Guatemala on
the 10th inst, by the exposure of an
attempt to poison the President by two
brothers, druggists in the city. They
prepared the poison and gave it to a
servant of the President with $4,000 as
a bride to administer ii, but the SER
want proved honest and handed over
to his master both the poison and the
money. The druggists were arrested
and put to death.
