THAT SIMPSON MEETING.
The Facts as They Were,
and the EIctiOns of the
Intellfgencer Dis
patch.

EDITOR FREEMAN:
The Inteliigencer of few days
since contains q dispatch from
Simpson, Taylor county, saying
that Mr.. e. w. Mills was billed
there for al Amendment meeting
on the night of the 9th inst. that
large crowd came to hear him !;
that his lecture turned out to be in
favor of the Prohibition party !;
that he abused James G. Blaine /;
that the audience then quietly
withdrew, &c.
/ have taken some pains to get
the truth regarding the above state
ments, and find the facts to be as
follows: Mr.. Mills was not billed
for an Amendment meeting, al
though he always takes occasion to
advocate that measure. His bills
clearly indicated Prohibition party
work, and said nothing about the
Amendment. This was fully un-
derstood by the Republicans of the
town, who endeavored to make it
warm for him while he was posting
the bills.
The dispatch to the Inteliigencer
is further not true in stating that
Mr.. Mills abused James G. Blaine.
No abuse was offered. The argu-
ments are all in favor of Mr.. Mills
position, and he finds no need of
abusing anyone.
The dispatch is further untrue
in saying that the audience with
drew. The ten or a dozen Republi-
cans who went out (by previous ar
rangement would not have been
noticed except for the noise they
made.
The following night the Repub-
licans brought forward a man to
debate with Mr.. Mills. Their cham
pion went to work after this fash
ion: Whisky don't say, come up
and drink me )" ''Jesus made wine y
"More families were made destitute
through the defeat of James G..
Blaine than through whisky the
last tour years." When the debate
closed there was very sick lot Of
Republicans at Simpson, and the
majority of them are heartily
ashamed. Both the meetings were
productive of much good, and the
Republicans who stood in the way
were entirely subdued and humili.
ated.
I have written to show the meth
dds that seem necessary to be pur'
sued on the part OF some people
rather than to correct the dispatch.

The notorious KEEP Queen, from Texas,
was killed near Claramore, in the Che
rokee Nation, on Sunday, by the district
sheriff, Ed Sanders, and posse. A week
or more ago it became known that Queen
and some of his outlaw followers were in
the vicinity, and they were finally To-
Gated In cabin about a mile from the
Dog Creek court house. That night the
sheriff made up party, and, going to
the place, they secreted themselves
about the premises. Three men then
came out and mounted, and as they were
riding away, were called upon to halt.
The answer was pistol shot, which was
returned by a volley from the officers.
Queen went down, MORALLY wounded,
and one of his companions was endorsed.
Rewards are standing i'll Texas for
Queens capture, dead or alive. The
