letter to friend says this:

would confidently say that the news

no insignificant index of what the
people of that community think and
say. We will say that we are quite
sure that they DO not miss it as far
as some would say they do.
Then, if most of the papers of the
State have declared for Clark for
Governor, it is an index that the
people in most sections will declare
for Clark in the Convention.

Weston at Liberty.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 26-Milten Weston
a we'll known Chicago capitalist, afse,
an incarceration of two years and eight
months in the Western penitentisry
was released this morning. Upon realiz-
ing the extent OF his good fortune he
was moved to tears. To reporter he
said that he did not know whas he would
do in the immediate future. He also
said that il he was at liberty to tell what
he knew he eoald oper some peopie'a
eyes. MIR. Weston was sentenced Janu-
airy rs, 1886, for five years in the peni.
tentisry for voluntary manslaughter
The case grew out OF dispute between
Weston and Obedia Haymaker for the
possession OF valuable oil lands Of Mur-
raysville, Westmoreland county. Ths
controversy eliminated in q personal en-.
counter of the forces representing op-
posing interests, in which Haymaker was
killed. Weston did not inhiot the fatal
wound, but was convicted because he
was present end was alleged to have
sided and abetted his friends in their
fight with Haynaaker's forces. A petition
signed by thousands of prominent oiti-
zens OF Pennsylvania, Illinois and New
York was sent to the board OF pardons
and letters were written in his behali by
Governor Oglesby. of Illinois, Senators
Logan and Cullom and others.

Democratic Tactics in virginia.

Realizing the hopelessness OF the Vir-
ginia congressional districts now held
by fair op5n fighting, the democratic
campaign committee has determined
uron neat little scheme which may be
effective in reducing msiorities to such
an extent in several instances as to in.
sure the return of q democrat. Malone
has been nominated in the Petersburg
district after hard fight and by fair
political methods. Malone could carry
that district with only one opponent,
as it is normally republican by a good
majority, but the democrats induced
Langeton, ex-minister to Hayti, TO STIR
up the colored voters to insist on his
nomination. They paid ell Langston's
preliminary expenses, even going so far
as to engage special trains TO take the
voters to the Sump convention, and the
result is that Langston will play second
fiddle to the democratic party, and, per-
haps, draw enough colored republican
potes away from Mabone to- insure the
election of democrat from that district.
The Norfolk district is now repre-.
ssnted by republican, and it is nor
mally arepublican district. The present
incumbent, who has been rs.nominased,

has made an excellent member. but by
the same tactics that have prevailed in
Petersburg he will have warm fight to
secure his return. In fact, the demo-
Gratis have induced snotnsr colored man
to enter the lists against him, and there
will be three candidates for congress in
this district also. 1t Is their settled
policy to enter into this species OF po-
litical warfare in every republican dis
trict in the south where there is large
black population. Tho presidents tariff
policy sad his determination to hold on
to the internal revenue laws has threat
ened to disrupt the democratic party In
Virginia, and If the republicans can be
kept together they will secure the cleo.
toral vote OF that state fer Harrison and
Morton; but the democratic managers
are moving heaven and earth to stir MP
strife among the colored voters, and as
they find few purchasable men to act
as their tools they may be successful in
their efforts &c hreak up che republican
prospects.

One of the important questions to be
settled in the approaching Methodist
conference IN Yankton is the location
OF the Methodist university. This
university located at Mitchell, burned
last winter, and there is authority for
the statement that it Is liable to be To-
Gated at some other town because the
people of Mitchell have never conveyed
absolute title to the land donated for
university uses. Several Dakota towns
are bidding Tor the university
and the conference will consider and
act upon the inducements presented at
it's October session In this city.
