creased in numbers. The liquor traffic has
grown less aud is now confined to the Dutch
settlers. The suppression OF the vice is due
TO the work Of Miss Amanda Smith lie next

CmcAoo, Ill May 2.--The horrible and un.
justi6able murder OF little Maggie Gaughan
has Just been avenged by the hanging OF
the colored murderer. Zcph Davis. The cx-
ecution took place In the northeast corner OF
the county Jail at li;i7 o'clock am. and on
the same gallows from which the anarchists
were swung of n few months ago. Davis
was the first colored person TO suffer capital
punishment in Cook county.
Davis was restless during the early part OF
the night, but shortly after o'clock he
dronpcd into a heavy slumbcr and did not

n III The crime for which Zeph Davis
Va III vas executed was committed
$ about o'clock on the morning
Of fcoruary "a In Green Brothers factory,
his victim being Maggie Gaughan, a pretty
little girl about fifteen years old.
Zcph was employed at the factory, where
Maggie also worked, a. foreman. lie was
busy about the place as usual that day until
o'clock, when he was sent out on an err
rand. Just after he left the manglcd body
OF Maggie Gaughan was found In closet In
the rear OF the building, concealed by pile
Of rags. The body was mutilated In horri'
bic manner, and by its side was found a
Ratchet covered with blood. Circumstances
all pointed 20 Davis a. the murderer
The same night Davis though almost the
entire police force OF Chicago were looking
for him, made his escape from town on
freight train. Descriptions ofithe fugitive
were at once wired all over the country, and
while Davis was sitting nj the depot at For
rest, Ill, the next day, he was recognized by
some Of the train hands lie nj once left the
station and started down the track on a dead
run. His pusucr jumped upon hand car
and gave chase. Zcph then left the track,
and leaping ovcra fence, ran across the field.
He was finally oycrtaken by telegraph
operator, who brought him back 10 the depot
nj the muzzle OF n revolver. When taken 10
Chicago, Davis at once confessed 10 the crime,
and said that ho had killed Maggie Gaughan
because she had refused 10 obey his orders.
All through the trial, which took place a
short time nftcrward, and during his Inn
prisonment In the county jail, the negro has
manifested the utmost indifference 10 his
fate. lie has, at different times, assaulted
PEOPLE IN Jail. until finally he had 10 be
shackled TO prevent him from doing more
violence.
Davis expressed pcnitencc for his awful
crime, and met his end with fortitude. His
pulse stopped beating just four minutes and
4 half after the diop was sprung. A large
number Of people witnessed the hanging.

The outrageous attack made by j. r.
Dyas upon his opponent, who has shown
him already too much magnanimity,
should meet the condemnation of demo-
Gratis and republicans alike. 1t is silly
story, anyway. No reasonable man would
believe that candidate would give a
stranger pastors or stickers of man on
the opposite ticket. Mr.. Rolfe has been
working hard for the success OF the
whole ticket. Mr.. Rolfe has not said q
word against his opponent during the
whole campaign, though he might
easily have said something effectually.
It remained for John Dyas to procure
periured affldavits and make silly attack
in return for this magnammity. 1t will
gain him no votes. The affidavits have
been completely refuted.

TONIGHT IT WILL EXPLODE,
And Blow Into Atoms
The Democratic Party
In Cascade County.

The torchlight procession before the
meeting was the largest and most bril-
liant ever beheld in the streets of Great
Falls. The spacious hall was filled to
overtiowing.
When Col. McCutcheon arose the vast
assemblage sent Up one tremendous
cheer.
Mr.. McCutcheon said he was delighted
to stand before Great Falls audience.
Tomorrow will be determined whether
the republican party in Montana has the
dignity and power to assert itself. He
had too much faith in the intelligence
of the people of Montana for one moment
to believe that they would tomorrow go
to the polls and by their votes slaughter
every interest dear to them.
Whenever the tariff policy of the coun-
try has declared for revenue only and not
for the protection of American industries,
our industries have been paralyzed and
our land has languished in panic and
prostration.
If Thomas H. Carter had been in
Toole's place, you would have found him
resisting the cutting down of the duty on
lead. You would have found him stand
ing up in his seat in the house of repre-
sentatives, with every vital interest of the
territory of Montana throbbing warmly
at his heart and demanding that those in
terests should be protected.
Col. Botkin, following said, that the
republican party is gloriously right;
while the democratic party has always
been wrong on every great question that
has come before the country during the
past 40 years.
Cleveland pledged himself to the re-
formation of civil service; but there have
been more removals for political causes,
during the past four years than during
any previous twenty years in the history
of our nation. Cleveland thought the
election of president to second term
was highly improper. He has convinced
a considerable proportion of the Ameri-
can people that the reelection Of at least
one president would be national
calamity. He has contributed $4,000
towards the election of a president who
deserves the honor less than any other
American citizen. The democrats found
themselves restored to power with nc
policy to carry out until Mr.. Cleveland
gave them one; and now they wish he
hadn't. Obedient to Cleveland's behest
the Mills bill was prepared and passed
the democratic house, only a republican
senate standing between the coun-
try and measure which would have
brought distress and ruin. The demo
Gratis howl about the surplus in the treas.
ury. 1t has never been the habit of the
democrats to have any surplus. The last
democratic treasurer in Lewis and CLARK
county was opposed to surplus. He
operated on the surplus so successfully
that it has taken four years Of republi
can administration to restore it.
The protective tariff stimulates inven
ton and talent, for which the American
people stand preeminent among thu
nations of the earth. His remarks were
cheered.
