CHICAGO, June 11.-Shortly before

one of the Oldest houses in the trade
had failed. The amount OF the liabili-
ties is unknown, although they are sup
posed to be quite heavy. The firm has
been "lOng' on both wheat and pro-

MAY CALL OUT THE MILITIA.
The Exciting situation in the Car Strike
at Columbus.

CoLuMBUS. O.. June 1.-The Consolida-
ted Street Railway Company made another
effort to start cars this morning at IL
O'Clock. and the results and scenes enacted
were similar to those of Monday. The ears
had proceeded but a few squares when
thousands had gathered and the track were
blocked with stone and rubbish. One oi
the new employees was driven off by threats
Of arrest for receiving money under false
pretenses. He had been bought OFF by the
strikers.
The women took hand in stopping the
cars The Mayor was present and ordered
the arrest Of two citizens who were block
ing the tracks. The situation was threat
ening. but no one was injured. The en-
ployes at some of the leading manufactures
closed down and turned out as soon as they
learned cars were TO be started. Their Oh
ject was TO aid the strikers.
The Mayor is preparing a list and getting
ready TO call u meeting Of leading citizens
10 consider the threatening situation. The
company insists on protectioS and the
Mayor claims the police are inadequate to
the task. If compromise is not reached
the Mayor states he will ask for the mill
tia. if the demand is made by the Street
Railroad Company.
The effort to start the cars was com
plete failure and is claimed by the strikers
as another in their series of victories. The
cars were returned TO the barn and il Is
intimated that another effort TO get out
cars will be made soon. The company
and police are keeping their own counsels
and not publishing their movements in adj

A GUN FOR THE WEST.
The Rocky Mountain News" on fresi-
dental Candidates.

DENVER Col, June 1.-THE Rocky Noun
tain Nclcs. the leading Democratic paper in
the West, contains Il double-leaded edito-
rial this morning, which takes strong
grounds against the nomination by the Ma
tiOnal Democracy of either Cleveland or
/ Hill. or any other New York man, for
President The NclUs states that this de-
sire is not the Outgrowth of hostility TO
either of these gentlemen, but the attl-
tude of the party in going to New York for
"A candidate ever since the war sectionlzed
the party. The South and West has been
compelled TO submit 10 New York, and
with New York TO Wall Street Until
these bonds are broken the Democratic
party can never claim to be what its found
ers made il. Since 1878 the country has
been suffering the evil effects Of silver de
monetization. II was partially restored
bv the Democrats in lS1S, and ever since
the masses Of the party have demanded its
complete restoration. The tariff issue is
insignificant in Importance TO this financial
issue: the South, West and Northwest are
in favor of restoration of silver.
New York alone dominates and controls
the whole party in this great financial
struggle Democrats in Congress are al
most a unit for free coinage. In national
conventions this candor vanishes in super
stitious fear that only New York candi-
dote can be elected New York will never
east its vote in convention for one not
bound in bonds of gold TO Wall street.
! Even before Cleveland was inaugurated he
shocked the country with 4 letter in op-
position 10 silver If Cleveland or Hill
were nominated, neither could escape from
this Wall street environment. The convic-
tions of the ST Louis Convention which
nominated Cleveland were smothered The
Democratic party, by conceding it can win
success only through New York nominee,
admits afatal weakness and almost merits
defeat
The Nclrs concludes by an appeal TO the
party to give the West and South a chance.

was in the city to-day, and made a state
ment in regard to the killing of Dave
Stratton. one of the Mccoy party in the
far-famed Hatfield Mccoy feud at Browns
town, about a month ago. He says that
two years ago Anse Hatfield offered $500 to
have Stratton put out Of the way. and
Clay Bishop, although not willing to
undertake the job, offered TO entice
StrattOn, who was in Kentucky at
that time to pointin West Virginia where
he could be disposed of by the Hattields
Bishop was at Br0wnstown on the day
previous TO the killing of StrattOn, and
withhim nearly all day; they were drink

! Bits statement Bishop remarked to his
friends that he would have 1850 for Strat
ton before morning He also offered man
500 TO help him put him out of the way.
The Hatfelds had given Stratton GER

the Mississippi river and he had agreed to
90, but stopped at BrOwnstOwn. Anse

and in less than week afterward STRAIT
ton was found dead near the railroad track.
"Kentucky Bill says there is absolutely
no truth in the statement that the warrants
were sworn out with the intention of de

thorities but because it is believed that
they were instrumental in StrattOn' death,
