FACTS do not cut much figure with the
Republican press in the campaign now
pending. A day or two ago one of our
esteemed contemporaries of that bias in
this city stated that the Christian Onion
the Independent and other papers of sim.
liar standing which supported Grover
Cleveland in 1884, had all failed him in
the present year Of. grace. The following
from recent issue of an Eastern paper
does not confirm the statement of the
Republican journal:
The Christian Union, in a well consid-
cred article on "The Political Issue. },
points out the folly of the Republican
policy. which, in the face of surplus Of
S125, 600 900 and its annual increase of
e60, ,000, 600, fails to provide against the
menace Of hopeless bankruptcy to the
country induced by the accumulation in
the Treasury vaults of money which
commerce needs. It thus places in par
allel columns the contrasting PROPOSE
tons Of the Republican and Democratic
platforms:

Another Train Robbery.

Train robbers have again appeared
ih Arkansas, this time on the st Louis,
Arkansas and Texas railroad about 20
miles below Pine Bluffs. A north
bound train stopped at Kingsland
about l o'clokk on Wednesday of last
week, when three men stepped on the
platform of the baggage car. next the
engine. About a mile from Kingsland
the train suddenly came to a stand
still. Conductor BrOwntnyopened
the door, a bullet whistled by his head
and he at once retired inside the car,
where he remained during the trouble.
The robbers boarded the engine and
commanded engineer Rue and fireman
Hacknett TO hold up their hands.
Hacknett supposing it was one of the
train men trying TO perpetrate a joke
held up his shovel exclaiming, "Ah
there !" The robber with a grim humor
dropped tue muzzle of a six-shooter
against the freman's cheek with the
words, "Stay there, YOU" The fire.
man quickly climbed down from the
box. Taking the fireman and the
engineer with them the robbers ordered
them to call on the messenger to open
the car. They did as ordered, but he
refused to show up. Then began a
fusilade, which lasted while attempts
were being made to force q way into
the car, the fireman being compelled 10
aid the robbers who proceeded to set
the Car on fire. This forced the messen-
ger to at once open the car door and
the engineer and fireman were made
10 get into the car first, their bodies
thus protecting the robbers as they
climbediH. The messenger then opened
the safe and the contents were trans
ferred to a sack. The exact amount
taken is not known, though it is be-
lieved to be from $4,000 to $4,000.
The mail a ard passengers were
not mOlested. The engineer and fire.
man of this train were in charge OF
the train robbed at Genoa, Ark, a
few weeks ago. The messenger re-
ceived a note at Texarkana warning
him to watch out, but he paid no at
tention TO it, believing it to be a joke.

Beckwith Hanged at Last.

Oscar +. Beckwith was hanged at
Hudson, N. Y, Thursday for the
murder of Simon A. Vandercook in
Austerlilzi mountains, Columbia coun-
tv, N. Y, January 10, 1882. He was
70 years old, the oldest man ever ex-
ecuted in the State. The case, aside
from the intense excitement at the
time Of the brutal murder, has become
celebrated, from the fact that Beck
with had been sentenced to death six
times. The court of appeals twice
decided against him, and 10 Judges
have said his sentence was just. The
prisoner took a light supper Wednes-
day night. When Father Smith called
at nine o'clock the prisoner talked
earnestly with him, and urged the
priest 10 inquire of the sheriff if there
was not still some chance for him to
be set free. He gave no evidence of
contrition, but seemed considerably
broken down. When Father Smith
left him Beckwith asked him to call
again and then retired and slept quite
soundly until 4 o'clock when he rose
and standing upon his feet glanced
about his cell and again laid down
and slept until morning light peered
through his grated window. AT z
a. m. he was reused from his cot and
ate stewed apples, beefsteak and
drank a cup of tea. For the first time
since his four years Imprisonment
the murderer shed tears. He became
ervo and weak in the knees while
he was being dressed. He sent word
to Gov Hill that he forgave him for
not committing his sentence to im-
prison ment for life. At half-past 9
Beckwith took a h%alf-pint of Bourbon
whisky and at a quarter to 10 Father
Smith of Hudson baptized the con
demned man. Beckwith "a formerly
a member of the Baptist church, but
recently expressed a desire TO be taken
into the Roman Catholic CHURCH.
Griswold asked Beckwith if he muir
dereG his wife, who disappeared sew
eral years ago. The murderer replied
in The negative and said she died in
peace. The drop fell at 1909 and
at 1927 he vas dead. The last thing
BeckwiLh did was to kiss the crucitix
and press the hand of Father Smith,
who stood by his side. Joe Atchin-
son, the celebrated hangman, otliciat-
ed, and the scatfold which was used at
the Dan Driscoll hanging introduced
Beckwith to his eternity. His last
words were Jesus have mercy on
me-"

Roscoe conkHng's Views.

Sitting great store by the good
opinion ofmy coutrymen. l warmly ap-
Dreciate the fact, announced in your
letter of the 18th inst, that citizens
of Pittsburg have organized a club 10
indicate their wish that the Repub-
lican party may make me its candi-
date for President of the United States.
Not being an ~aspirant for political
preferment, and not supposing that
the party with so many tried and dis
tinguished men to choose from would
wish me to become the bearer of its
standard, the honor you and others
have so unexpectedly done me is graf
flying, not a jot so much as a politi-
cal act, but rather as an evidence oil
personal kindness and confidence.
Regarding the formation of the club
in this light, l am grateful to its men,
bers and promoters for all their action
implies, and / shall remember and
value it always. Without reference
to candidates, it will be a great salts
faction if a club bearing my name
shall contribute in any way to rein
state the organization whose wisdom
and earnestness proved so useful during
the most tragic ard trying period OF
our history. To see the party again
triumphant and united, worthy of it's
self and of its past, the brave and
honest champion of the rights, the
welfare and progress of So, OOO, 900
people, is inspiration enough Tor all
the Republicans. In that hope | unite
with you and with all who cherish it
in sincerity.
