The following which We clip
from tire Roanoke, ! a. Times.
shows very plainly that the adj
-ministratienzza President Harri--
son, Ike that Of all Of his Repub-
lican predecessors will be see
tional in the. extreme. We find
in the South men who have en-
dured much for their opinions as
Republicans,-mcn who in intel
ligence and social position, will
compare favorably with any class
in the North, yet simplNbeeaase
they live south of the Potomac
and Ohio. they have NO recogni-
ton by the Federal Government
we quote
.sMr. Harrison is estopped by
his own action from condemning
the Southern people for not trust
ing Their local government 70 the
Republicans. If the Southern Re-
publicans are competent to take
charge of and control the State,
county and municipal govern
ments of this section, surely they
are competent to bold them. then
it is unjust and unfair to exclude
them entirely, and nothing but
sectionalism can account for such
an exclusion. Now let us see how
stands the record in this matter
under Mr.. Harrison's administra-
ton. There are fourteen Southern
States, or more than one-third of
the total number in the Union.
they furnish more than one-third
of the representatives in Congress.
In population and wealth they
rank nearly as high as in number
and representation. and yet Mr..
Harrison has utterly neglected
this large section in the distribu-
ton of the highest and most re-
sponsible offices, of the Govern
ment. On affair distribution she
was entitled to at least two posi-
tons in the Cabinet, yet she got
none. All the more important for
eign missions have been filled,
but the South did not get a single
one. A large number of appoint,
ments have been made to honora-
bic ana responsible positions in
the departments at Washington
but no Southern man has been
appointed Now why is this
Mr.. Harrison must have some
reason for his action, and the only
reason that can possibly justify
Fhim III Intercourse he has persuef
is to say that the members of his
own party in this section are not
competent or worthy to fill the
/ positions mentioned. For if they
are worthy and competent, sther
they have been excluded on sec
tional grounds, and no President
who was chosen to preside ovel
| the whole country can afford t.
confess that he is controlled il
his appointments by seetionat
prejudices and preferences. Now
if Mr.. Harrisonlras not been abls
to find a single Republican ii
i the whole South who is fit to bt
! appointed to an important FEEDER
sal position, surely he cannot blam,
| the Southern people for refusin,
to commit their State, countr,
and municipal governments int
tina hands of Republicans. Ant
| it is not to be believed that h,
will use the powers of the FEEDER
al government tomake the South
ern people do what he is not will
i ing to do himself-that is, toplac.
! the Southern Republicans in pow
er. The action of Harrison is TIL,
severest possible Judgment of tn,
Southern Republicans"

HIDE AND SEEK.
WIN. II. BRAME VENTURES
INTO THE CITY FRIDAY
MORNING..
His Horse Found and His Dis
carded Clothes Captured.

Believed to be Still Hiding Near Town.
BIoodhounds Arrive.
Interest in the Brame matter has
been increasing every day since Fri
day and excitement is now at fever
heat.
Thursday Brame was seen near
Allensville on q gray horse, which
he confiscated near Greenbrier, Tenn.
Friday morning about day he was
seen in this city and IL lie said he was
hsrbored by one of his friends,
Friday night posse who were on
hot trail found the stolen horse at
or near the Dick Moss place, east OF
town, and also captured suit of
clothes discarded by Brame. These
were brought to town and a large
posse of local aud imported officers
and detectives made an all-day
search for himand Saturday afternoon
the excitement was increased by the
arrest of w. II. Merritt, charged
by Detective Laird with aiding
Brame to escape. His trial was set
for yesterday, but nothing came Of 1t.
There are all sorts ofrumors, One is
that Brame ia still hiding close by and
will, when the rewards are all offered,
allow himself to be captured by a
friend and get the money to conduct
his defense.
Another is that he has lett here,
having been supplied with arms, am
munition and money and that he is
clear out OF reach by this time.
The most probable theory is that
he is being sheltered by sympathizers.
Two bloodhounds were received
yesterday and II the fugitive Is still
In this vicinity he will certainly be
hunted down.
Some practical joker wrote
wrote on the KENTUCKIAN bulletin
late Sunday afternoon that Martin
Davis had been killed in q desperate
fight with Brame, which had the city
terribly excited in five minutes. Mr..
Davis was kept up till IL o'clock an
sweriug calls from friends who
came TO learn the particulars.
This hoax was perpetrated without
the knowledge or approval of the
KESTUoKIAN, which bulletins moth
ing but reliable news.
Brame's friends are telling
that Lemon kicked him of
the train and some sympathy
has been worked up for the murder
or. There are no less than a dozen
witnesses who saw the difficulty
from frat 10 last who will testify that
Brame was neither struck nor
kicked. One Of these is Cave
johnson, the brakeman, who had
hold Of him and helped to put him
off

CREAM OF NEWS.
The Stanley Case.

After being together for two days.
the jury In the Stanley case brought
I'm a verdict late Saturday evening
TheIcircumstances in this case are well
known. Harmon Stanley, mulatto,
and Renzie Stanley, a negro, killed
Col. Rufus Ebling at the August elec'
tion in 1886, in Stusrfs precinct. Har-
mon shot Ebling and MORALLY woun-
ded him and, as he lay dying on the
ground, Renzie rushed up and Drained
him with the butt OF his gun. They
were tried In 1887 saa the jury failed
TO agree and II afterwards developed
that the father Of Harmon Stanley
the mulatto, a white man, was on the
Jury. The next year they were again
tried and both of them sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary. This
time the jury finds Renzie guilty and
he Ia let of with 2 years. while
Harmon Is released entirely.
This is a very queer verdict and
proves that there u no telling what
a petit jury will do. The man who
killed Ebling Is set free while the ac-
complete who Drained the corpse Is
found guilty. Harmon was shot In
the face during the free, fight pre-
q
ceding the murder and the jury may
have gone upon the idea that he had
already been punished by the suffer-
ing he endured from a flesh wound,
which left scar near his nose. The
general opinion is that the former
verdict was very light sentence, but
the Court of Appeals granted new
trial and the present finding u a
travesty ON Justice.
