Of Benkleman, Neb., failed yesterday.
Better, the president, skipped to Cam

in funds and securities. The business
men and farmers feel the loss greatly,
as many have lost the last dollar they
had on earth. Several homesteaders
had their little all in the bank, and
were to prove up to-day. Many will
have to abandon their claims. The
greatest excitement prevails. Belzer
had transferred all his available pro-
perty TO his wife before leaving. Many
eastern banks and firms lose heavily.

MIR. Blaine has worked himseli
up to terrible state Of excitement
over the fact that while the negroes
of the South we're given the fran
chise FOR the benefit OF the Republi-
can party, it doesn't seem to have
panned out as well as was expect
ed. In fact it seems to have been
a terrible boomerang for the 6. o. p.
for while the negro population adds
to the south's strength in the elect
eral college and increases her rep
.resentation in Congress the South
goes solidIy Dsmocr attic. Thus it is
that the scheme of enfranchlsement
concocted for selfish partisan pur-
poses has returned to plague its
inventors. Mr.. Blame is now vainly
seeking to escape these consequences
by taking away q git W hich has
proven so Improbable to the giver.
Assuming that the negro is practi~
cally disfranchised anywsy in the
South, be proposes that the ballot
shall be taken from him by law. II
should not take the celoIed people
of the south long to decide who are
their real friends IN view of such g
proposition on Che part Of the mos
trusted leader of The Republican
party. 1t is t. the interest Of The
| Southern people that the negro
should retain the franchise, because
it increasesStheir political strength; i
is to the interest of the Republican
| party that it should be taken away
land Mr.. B!aine's bold proposition
Is evidence enough that it would no
be hindered by any love for th,
colored people to do anything wheel
would help the Republican party

The elCction on Tuesday last was |
a Waterloo for the Gepab'icans in
Tennessee, and the Democrat,
gained one Ike most signal victories

4 number Of years. Eotwithstand-
ing the snaIluess Of The vote, the
e'urns show large democratic
gaius in all portions of the State.
We suppose the Republicans, as us
ual, will claim that the Republicans
were the ones who staid away from
the polls, and that if full vote had
been polIed the result would have
been different. The fact is that the
Republican party in Tennessee is
disintegrating, and its sire ngth is
slowly but surely, falling away. The
whites are democrats from prInci-
pie and Will continue to stand by
the party, ana the colored voters are
rapidly coming TO the conclusion
that the principles and policies OF
the democratic party will best
subserve their interests, as we'll as
those Of the whites. The result Of
this election shsws, beyond ques-
ton, that the people of Tennessee
are unwilling to again intrust the
republicans with the control of oul
state affairs. They believe tina

struck Graham in the forehead,

two others pierced the right temple.

he died in great sgony. The iden-
