THE ST. LOUIS ELECTION.
A FOOLISH STORY ABOUT "sALooN" INFLUENCE

A FOOLISH STORY ABOUT SALOON INFLUENCE
WHY THE REPUBLICANS WON.
To the Editor o. The Tribune.
Sir: I notice that the ridiculous story that the
large Republican majority In ST. Louis Is due to
saloon aud dive influence has at last reached New
York and Is repeated IN The Evening Post" The
Republican revolution, or rather revival. in st Louis
was caused and assisted by entirely different nsiru
mentallties from the saloons and dives"
The Republican party has really always had ma
jorty since the But since the great disappOln
ment which was caused by schuIzs party treason,
which delivered the state over 10 the Democrats,

al least four-hfhs Of them, Republic ans-weTe 80 dis

This year these non-voing citizens entered again into
politics. This Is what caused rho sudden Republi

reasons that stirred these voters up the fol

much about II, the exclusion done IN manner

CAalrmen IIoge and Murphy - tae Lece-
motivs Enssreers and ftremen's hrosh-
erhood Gri~vancc Committees Arrested
On Chicago IN Connectlon with she Al
legged Conspiracy.
CmcAGo. July 10 Chairman Hoge Of
the grievance committee ~ the Brother
hood Of Engineers. and Chairman MUIR
phy. occupying the same position In the
Fircmen's brotherhood. were arrested
q the National Hotel ut 6:N this
morning ~ detectives Of the Central
station. The prisoners were taken COM
pletely By surprise. They had evidently
been M 4 greater portion Of the night In
conference relative % some important
move. Both men were taken 10 the Armory
and locked up They are charged with
conspiracy.
The mnch-talked-o f circular In which
Hogc Is alleged 10 have requested Broth
erhood men 20 hire themselves secretly
10 the %" road. and then disable the
engines, is what got Hoge into trouble.
Chairman Murphy is charged with being
an accomplish. General Manager Stone
swore out the warrants last night and
they were given 20 the officers 70 be
served early this morning Attorney
Collier OF the Burlington road said this
morning that the prisoners would be
arraigned before Justice Lyon and a con-
tinuance taken, rs the company was not
vet ready 70 push its case. He said. how
ever, that the evidence in possession Of
the company was conclusive, and that the
game Of the Brotherhood men was up.
A midnight consultation Of the officers
OF the company led to the arrests. Two
or three detectives. Manager Stone, Paul
Morton and Frank Collier, attorney for
the company, were working all night on
the evidence against the alleged conspira-
tors, and il was not until an early hour
this morning that they decided 70 arrest
Hoge and Murphy. No more arrests
will be made in this city, IL Is
said. but Il Is probable that sew
eral strikers in other places, who
are now being Swallowed by the company's
detectives, will be behind the bars before
long. The company, IL Is thought has
found one among the conspirators VIII
has confessed. The disappearance Of
Fireman Alec Smith, who was arrested
the other day, and who was not jailed
with the other prisoners, taken In con-
nection with the remarkable secresy
which the Brotherhood maintains on all
# does. seems to preclude the idea OF the
company having secured the evidences
In any other manner.
