WASHINGTON, September A dispatch
from Little Rock says: The election for state and
county officers and members of the legislature
yesterday, appears to have passed off quietly
so far as known, although excitement ran high
and outbreaks at various localities we1e ex-
pected. An unusually large vote was polled.
Full returns from all the counties in the state
will not be received for some days, owing to
lack Of railway and telegraphic communities
ton with the interior. Increased democratic
majorites reported from Bradley, Clarke,
Clay, Drew, Faulkner, Greene, Independence,
Lee, Pope and Sebaston counties. Wheeler
and republican gains are claimed in Nevada,
Hemstead, Conway, Phillips, Jefferson,
Chicot and Desha counties. A number Of
Wheelors have been elected to the legislature.
The democratic state ticket is elected, as esti-
mated at democratic headquarters, by a ma
jority ranging from 10000 to 10000 The re-
suit in this pulaski county is in doubt, with
the chances in favor of tho local democratic
ticket. The proposition for constitutional
convention is defeated.

and making him come on here and speak
when he was physically unable to do So"
He characterized these charges as lies, and
said every candid person knew them to DO
such. AS he had already said, the objects OF
the great mass meeting in the old Romans
honor had been attained.
Chairman w. II. Barnum was shown the
disgraceful statements Of several republican
organs about his brutality ~ in dragging his old
friend, Thurman, into the canvass, and about
the responsibility to the party Of those OF Mr..
yhurman's callers and intimates who had
dined too long, 1t was alleged. and too freely
with him, for the old Romans illness, which
resulted in his disappointing so splendid
democratic asscmblage as that gathered in the
Madison Square garden night before last.
They arc only keeping up their lying" said
Mr.. Barnum Indignantly. "Why, Mr.. Thur
man isn't drinking anything at all now.
was with him when he was taken sick. There
was no liquor around at all. AS for the story
about the dinner, Judge Thurman didn't dine
at all. There was nobody. therefore, at dinner
with him About $3.50 o'clock he was debating
his speech when suddenly attacked with
cholera norbus.'
"Will his illness have any effect on the pros
poets OF the party in New York 2"
NO" answered Mr.. Barnum.
The Business Mems Clubs Organizing.
Within the week the element that elected
Cleveland in 1854 began actively organizing
for the present campaign. 1 mean the bnsi-
ness men. "The Cleveland Wholesale Dry
Goods club" met Oh Wednesday night and 239
firms signed the roll One firm presented 14i
names ofits employees, which list had been sworn
to before a notary public, Mr. +. S. Ellis, of
Georgia, was made chairman of the finance
committee.
Mr.. O'Donahee, president Of the committee,
Said:
"The dry goods club alone had seven thou
sand active members in 1884, and had Goa men
in line in ono parade. This shows the extent
Of the movement for Cleveland among the
business men. believe we will enroll more
members this year than we had in 1884 There
is universal approval of Ceveland's admins
tration and he will have a stronger support
from the bushes men Of New York than he
had before"

NORFOLK, Va, September 4.-lSpecial. /
The republican congressional convention OF
this (the second) district was held here today.
AS was expected, George Il. Bowden,s the
present representative, was nominated by
reclamation as a candidate for congress.
The main issue was centered in the appoint
ment of q presidential elector from this dis
trict, the contest being between George A.
Martin, who was elected by the Malone fac
ton of the republican state convention held in
Petersburg last May, and General V. D..
Groner, who was appointed to that place by
the boiling or Wise wing of the party. After
an exciting contest in the convention, which
lasted several hours, it was decided by vote
of 49h to 42l to select Martin, the Malone
elector.
This result was SURPRISE as it was expected
that General Groner would be disposed of in
short order, and the strength developed by the
Wise wing of the party represented by him
causes some apprehension among the leaders
that it BODIES no good for the harmony in the
ranks of the party in this district
After the adjournment of the convention
tonight Groner's supporters in the convention
and the contesting delegates who had been re-
fused admission by the regular organization,
forty-six in number. held a meeting and in
dorsed General Groner as elector, and nomi-
mated Sandy Williams, coored, sheriff of
Elizabeth City, for congress, in opposition to
Bowden.

l had long conversation today with the
Hon. Charles l.. Jewett, chairman of the dem
ocrttic state committee.
II will tell you why think Mr. Cleveland
viii carry the state" said Mr.. Jewett; 1--WE
have had eight state elections since 1868. OF
these the democrats have carried six and the
republicans two. Two years ago the repuhli-
cans elected their state ticket by 5000 major
ity, because the democrats We're dissatisfied
and did not vote. More than 1900 did not go
TO the polls while only 900 republicans stayed
away. All that We have to do is to get our
vote out
'IIow do you propose doing thls?''
"Well, we have a splendid organization, the
best we ever have had, We have canvasscrs
in every township distributing documents and
making personal solicitation whenever it is
necessary
''Whai documents do you send cut 20
awe have sent out 100000 and the most of
these are on the tariff question, the
balance on state issues, etc. There
is moro demand for the presidents
message and the Mills bill than for anything
else. We find, however, Il large demand for
the opinions Of laymen on tariff matters, tariff
leaflets and automatic tarif talks.
Have You poled the stato?''
YES, but no living man shall know the OK
act figures until the election is over. The re
pUb.icans would like nothing better than to
know our poll, and the only way to keep it
from them is to keep it to myself
Can you give me any information about it
worth publiShing2'
Yes. | can say this:
EVERYTHING Is ENCOURAGING,
The results are far more satisfactory than we
anticipated. The canvass shows that there is
most emphatic opposition to General Harri-
SON among the working classes, and in the
railroad cities Of Richmond Terre Haute, Fort
Wayne. New Albany and Evansville. In these
cities Cleveland is stronger than our state
ticket or rather Harrison is weaker than the
republican state ticket"
Mr.. Samuel Il, MoySs tho editor of the In
! dimapolis Sentinel, gives the following opiu-
ion as 10 the situation in Indiana:
The canvas is in very good shape, and the
democratic prospects very encouraging. We
have n very efficient campaign organization,
and tho party throughout the state seems TO be
thoroughly aroused. The democrats have the
decided advantage On the tariff issue in Indi-
ana Both parties III this state have been de-
handing reduction on the tariff for twenty
years, and the republicans are greatly weak

seems TO lie directed TO revivirg the

"A Terrible Tragedy Over the SUM of Nine
Dollars.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, September 81 Special. +
A. dispatch from Cameron, this state, says
that about o'clock this morning, George and
Charles Aultnan, two brothers, who had been
living with relatives at Hamilton, and whose
parents reside at Cowgirl. were walking to this
city from Kidder. About half mile east of
here they met a tramp umbrella member,
whose name is Goodie Walters, and who has
been hanging around Cameron several days.
He engaged in conversation with them, and
learning that Charles, aged 16 years, had 50
in cash, attacked him with large knife, evil
IDENTIFY with intent to kill him and get the
money. George Aultman, the youngest of the
brothers. only II years of age, drew q revolver
to defend his brother from Walters's savage
attack and fred six shots.
Unfortunately, his brother was ierked be-
tween him and Walters and the first ball
struck Charles back of the left arm and lodged
near the right eye, causing death in four
hours after much suffering, Walters received
three of the shots, two in his back and
one in his head. and there is but slight hopes
OF his recovery. He has a sister in St. Joe, and
this is about all that can be learned in regard
to him. He has acknowledged George Aplt-
mans statement, which is in accordance with
the above, as correct, and says he is the one
that caused all the trouble.
An inquest resulted in verdict to the
above. Walters is bitterly condemned, as
there seems to be no doubt that he intended to
kill the boy for the small sum of nine dollars.
George Aultnan is much grieved over the
accident which caused his brothers. death.

CRIMES AND CRIMINALS.
Terrible Tragedy for the Sum of Nine
Dollars.


INDIANAPOLIS. September 7.-Early in
August Governor Gray addressed
an open letter to Attorney
General Kitchener, requesting him to visit
Crawford county and investigate. the white
cap outrages.
Attorney-G eneral Kitchener today made his
report. He details the result of his investi-
cation in Crawford county, enumerat1ng the
criminal suits pending against fourteen mem.
bers Of the white cap organization, none OF
whom have been convicted.
He points out that the local courts and Off
GERS must have the cooperation and support
of the law-loving people of Crawford county
before the convictions can be secured, and
says ~ regret to say that do not
find such general sentiment as must exist be-
fore there can be successful prosecution of
cases which may be brought in the future, no
matter how conclusive the evidence may be.
The condition OF affairs is not only deploraDIe
but alarming"
After relating the cold blooded character of
the numerous white cap outrages and the ex-
tent of the organization in Crawford and Perry
counties. the encouragement asserts that the
local newspapers have but little to say in dis
approval of the outrages, and before there can
be an indictment and successful prosecution
of these offenders there must be considerable
change in public sentiment. He believes this
change can be produced, and unless 1t IS
brought about general insurrection is likely
to follow and the governor will be compelled
to suppress it with military power.
The encouragement says that as result OF
the reign of terror existing in Crawford coun-
ty, there has been recently organized a body
known as "black caps and it is said they
place armed men each night on the roads in
the region most infested by the white caps
with instructions to fire upon the latter.
He concludes his report by suggesting
that the governor appoint assistant counsel to
prosecute the cases, and that such counsel
should be present with the prosecuting attor-
ney in the grand jury room when the witnesses
in Crawford county be induced to denounce
the white cap outrages, and demand the en-
forcement of law. He also suggests that Gov
ernor Gray attend in person the October term
of Crawford circuit court while the grand jury
is in session, and thus give the people to I'M
derstand and realize that there is a force out
side of that county which can be used if nee
essary to secure the enforcement of the law
and volunteers to lend such influence as by
virtue of his Office he may possess by accom-
panying the governor, believing that such
visit would create and arouse q public senti-
ment which would be productive of great
good.

FARMINGToN, Me-, September 4-James G.,
Blaine addressed an audience of 1900 people
here today Abiding to prohibition, he said:
"Maine for the last thirty-seven years has been
under prohibitory aw. / think the state
has derived great advantages from it, l think
the state is far richer and far better and that
Franklin county is far richer and better. But
we have party now coming and telling us in
effect that Maine had better not pay
any attention to prohibitions we can
organize national party and
we can suspend temperance in Maine practi-
cally until we convert Texas and Alabama
That is precisely what this national prohibition
party means for those who talk frankly avow
that they intend to defeat the republican party
and bring the democratic party i'll power as
temperance llaughterl; going to take the
democratic party in Maine to promote temper
ance. This prohibition party outside Of prohi-
bition is entering into partnership with the
democrats to defeat the republicans. III that
were possible IN Maine, to elect that sanity
embodiment of prohibition and temperance
David b. Hill, governor of New Ork, and all
over the country, to stab the republican party
in the back and in the dark, in order, they say,
that the democratic party shall be brought into
power, and then there will be a reaction
against the democrats and by some political
process, of which the working is not yet appa-
rent, the national prohibitionists will come into
power. Fellow citizens, the republicans of
Maine have worked many years i'll the aid of
temperance reform and will not turn back from
the good cause. But our immediate work this
year is 10 defend the system of protection and
insure good wages to American laborers."

has q small terrier dog that is surpris-
ing the people of his town by his abil-
itics as runner. Every evening dur.
ing the summer, when the 6:45 train
from the West blew its whistle a few
rods from the Main street crossing, the
dog would bound out Of the house
near by and take the trac k ahead Of
the train for the station, half a mile
away. The tram crosses Main street
at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, and
between the crossing and the station Is
trestle about 800 feet long. Over
this the dog flies, always keeping just
so far ahead of the train as he took
when he started the race. Once OF
twice the engineer has put OH steam to
try and overtake the dog, but he has
not yet succeeded in doing 1t. The
dog never looks back, never barks,
and never pays any attention to the
calls of his master. When he reaches
the station he looks up al the engineer.

custom now for crowds to gather to

New York, Oct. 22.--The outlook is
that if the Democrats aud Republicans
of this city were disposed to settle
their differences as TO the Presidency
in a pitched battle the engagement
might take place on the afternoon and
evening of the Saturday preceding the
election. Both parties intend TO have
their greatest professions at that time
The law forbids any parade through
the streets with music unless formal
permit has been obtained from the
police department. The Republicans
have procured in accordance with this
ordinance, the right of way through
lower Broadway, between 2 O'Clock
and Z p. m, on Nov. 3. The Demo
Gratis are similarly authorized to uss
upper Broadway during the sams
hours. Both have applied for permits
to parade anywhere In Broadway Ii
the evening. The four police commits
sioners are equally divided in politics
and so no advantage Is to be giver
either party. BY compromise undel
