Blood Curdling Details of Murders at Dob
nitza Election Day.
Correspondence Vienna Freie Press.
On the day appointed for the elections the pre-
feet of Dobnitza summoned the citizens to an
electoral caucus. Some of the electors began to
shout I'VE do not want any elections! We will
not do anything to oppose Russiaw Deputy
Grechorov then addressed the assembled crowd,
saying that it was desirable to elect such men as
would cast their vote in favor of the Prince de-
termined upon by Russia, but who at the same
time, would stand up for the independence and
liberty of Bulgaria. The congregated peasants
would not be quieted and continued to shout
the city did not allow themselves to be disturbed,
and for two hours the election proceeded with
out any further disorders.
Suddenly, however, turbulent crowd of five
hundred peasants appeared upon the scene.
Down with the Deputies, they shouted .'lt was
they who hurled us into a conflict with Servia.
They have caused US to pay the imposts, but
Russia would not have compelled US to do so. "
Grecheroy came forward to make another ad-
dress, but the peasants would not let him speak.
They threw into the air the table at which the
electoral commission were sitting and broke it
into pieces. The commissioners were obliged to
make their escape through the window, which
was situated behind the table where the votes
row. Zograv and Professor Papukchieff-
ceeded in taking refuge in neighboring house
rabid crowd of peasants endeavored to follow
them, but the Professor, revolver in hand, kept
them at bay. Another deputy was fortunate
enough to escape The authorities sought to re-
store order and Immediately dispatched eight
soldiers on horseback to quell the disturbance
but these were met by a volley of stones and
forced TO retreat
Encouraged by their success the peasants pro-
ceeeed in body to the house of the prefect
Dimitrev. The wretcned official was dragged
from his residence. deprived of his clothes and
money, and then murdered with blows from
slaves and with knife thrusts. Amid shouts,
whistles and imprecations his body was dragged
through several streets. and finally hurled from
a stone bridge into the river. In the mean while
portion of the crowd had separated itself from
the main body and made for the telegraph Office

WASHINGTON Nov. 15-S. B. Elkius, who is
Mr.. Blaines most confidential political admirer
and who was at the head of the Republican ma

''yet he is the most available man in the party,
and do not believe he was ever so popular as
now He has grown with the people wonder
fully since he made the race couple of years
ago. He will get more strength from the South
at the next convention than he did last time"
''You speak of what he will do as if he were a
candidate?" was observed
''WeI," replied Mr.. Eikins, hesitatingly, "I do
not mean to say he is a candidate, nor do want

have more or less aspiration to be President,
and Mr. Blaine is human. He is doing nothing,

comes to him it will be the free will Offering of
the people. believe he could be elected. But
if were to speculate at this time on the nominee,
I should name a Western man-Senator
Sherman or Senator Harrison. The latter
would make very strong candidate l do not
think the Democrats will nominate Cleveland,
that is, unless he changes his tactics. The dis
satisfaction in his party is widespread. You
would be surprised to know how strong the op-
position to Cleveland is. Washington atmos-
phere is always so saturated with sympathy for
the administration that you cannot judge of 1t
there. Throughout the country they are
warmly opposed to Cleveland. He runs his
whole administration, and there is none but
Cleveland individually in it, He may please
the mugwumps. but they will not control the
Democratic convention-nor will they elect a
President. The coming year will determine
who is to be the man in either party If Cleve-
land is not nominated, believe it will be Sam
Randall. A protectionist must be nominated by
the Democrats, to save the South.
