Chairmen of republican state commit

Quay. Of the national committee:
s'Information recently received by
this committee oohvinces us that con.

frauds upon the ballot III different SEQ

meeting yesterday the sum of $4,000
was set apart to be paid in rewards
which may lead to the arrest ard convic

these frauds are likely to occur to be

The proposed railway from Salt Lake

assured enterprise, with syndicate be-

entire line within the next two years. The
line is divided into three corporations,
known as the Salt Lake Valley & East
ern, the Wyoming g. Eastern and the
Nebraska & Western railway companies.
When these companies we're incorperat

cerning the probable relations OF the
project to eome one of the big western
systems. The report that was generally
accepted as the most plausible. and
which was iRdustriously circulated until
an official denial checked its career, was
one placing the responsibility on the
Illinois Central people and designating
the proposed railway as an extension oi
the Illinois Central line from Sioux City
across Nebraska to the Wyoming GOA
fields, and problb!y to Denver. 1t if

LONDON, Nov 5.-The editorial in the
last number of ST. Stephens Review, ac-
cusing the Socialists of intending to Gre
ate riots in London during the coming
winter, the first of the series of disorders
beginning on Lord Mayors day, has led
the editor of The Socialist to write let
ter on the subject, While this person
wakes indignant at the accusation, he
does not give any assurance that it was
not well founded, although he says: eat
a recent meeting of the central Socialist
committee such q course as suggested by
The Review may have been proposed by
some of the members, and the PROPOSE
tion discussed. No details were decided
upon, nor will there be until next Thurs.

ter indicates that mischief is intended il
the means and circumstances will allow
it, but it is extremely unlikely that there
will be any considerable disturbance, in
view of extraordinary precautions and
determination of police.

IT IS becoming a thing of every
common occurrence to see notices in
the newspapers of the day where
large and influential manufactures
who have spent both time and money
for the support of their party, have
deserted the Republican ranks and
joined the solid phalanx of Demo
cracy. Men who have heretofore
been so blinded by prejudice that
they could not see the defects of their
party have at last had their eyes
opened by the good results of Demo
cratic rule, and many of them do not
hesitate to openly confess their error
and lend their aid and support to the
party that has the interest of the
public welfare at heart. We do not
doubt but that there are some whose
foresight has shown them that their
leaky vessel must soon go under and
who merely take advantage of this
opportunity in order to be on the
winning side in November; but
whether this be true or not. we are
glad to see this change of policy on
their part, but it is only the natural
result of just government, which will
always conquer in the end.
When Cleveland was elected four
years ago there were many who
trembled at what they supposed
would be the result Of Democratic
rule, but under its benign influence
the whole country has assumed such
a prosperous appearance that its
strongest opponents are becoming its
supporters and its success
is assured. Every clear-headed man
will, from selfinterest if for no other
purpose, vote for the party that suits
the people best; and that is why so
many Republicans are becoming
Democrats.-Ex.

THE defeat of Senator Sherman in
the Chicago Convention has not
blinded his eyes to the necessities OF
the hour. In a straight forward
speech delivered to the business men
of Cincinnati on Thursday he not
only said that is was ga poor policy
to allow the accumulation of a vast
surplus in the Treasury, but added
that what we need is just enough
funds on hand to answer the purposes
of government economically con-
Quoted" This pleased the audiences
and the Senator went on: "The only
way to decrease the surplus is to
reduce the revenue. I will say that
Congress ought to take action on it
right away and settle the question
before going any further. This is
the time right now, and it is that
body's prompt action that will relieve
u.s." A clearer call for the passage
of the Mills bill could not have
emanated from Chairman Mills him
self, nor could a more obvious vindi-
cation of the Presidents message
have come from any source.-Phila-

from Raleigh such apprehensions were
entertained, and here some persons per-
haps had similar fears, but the case was
too plain so far as the facts were con-
cerned.
The jury. we Learn, never differed ex-
cept as to finding them guilty on all the
counts.
A Raleigh Special in the Richmond
Dispatch, of 23d, says:
Cross and White have been in Jail
since Saturday. They are making efforts
to give a bond of $4,000 each for APP
pearanee at the next term Of court. 1t
is said that Cross is about ready. In
the appeal taken to the Supreme Court
special argument will be again made as
to whether the Sta tie courts have jurls-
diction in the case. Statements written
by Cross and by White and read in the
courtroom on Saturday are commented
on with interest. The statement of
Cross has been published. White is
expected to appear this week IN the Kat
eigh Signal in full. 1t contains ugly
insinuatiOns concerning parties who
have from time to time been connected
with the bank for twenty years past.
Members of the legal profession think
if White s statements are true 1t Will be
the duty of the United States District
Attorney to bring charges of violation
OF the national banking laws against the
parties concerned, and have strict
hearing. 1t is thought that before the
trial developments of more startling
character than any heretofore made Will
