rived early this morning, after travelling
fifty miles, from Sonewall, and rep orts that
row was narrowly averted at that place
and hostilities only prevented by the super
ior forces at the command of Governor
Byrd, who 80 disfranchised the whites that
after some display of arms they prudently
withdrew. Stonewall was the largest vot-
ing place, and was the center of interest in
the election. Both candidates for governor,
Samuel Paul and William Byrd, were at the
polls all day, Each had large number of
men at his back. Paul's supporters
were disfranchised by the whites,
while the full bloods and most
of the half-breeds were for Byrd.
The latter also had 114 militia under his
pay. Everybody was heavily armed, and
when the polls opened matters looked seri-
ous. Gov. Byrd brought the militia about
the polls, forming circle about it. The
first squaw man was denied the privilege Of
their force, and for a time it looked as if
they meant battle, but Byrd with his men
stood firm, and the whites, seeing they
would be worsted in fight, left, and his
militia ran things to suit themselves, and
even prevented Indians from voting whom
they knew were for Paul. The result was
1O6 for Byrd. 6 for Paul and 10 for Burvis
Independently Enough is known to as
sure Byrd's election and the success of the
so-called Indian party, but the election ID

Organization.
No Material Change in the situation-Both
Sides Are Confident Of Ultimate
Success.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE following
will appear in this weeks Journal Of tho
Knights Of Labor: ION account Of tho mis-
leading reports made public concerning the
New York Central and its employees, dis
trict assembly 246 presents the following
explanation of the situation: Last Novem-
ber the men employed in the train service
of the New York Central presented petit
tion to the company requesting pay for all
time in excess Of twelve hours per day at
the rate of wages they were receiving at
that time. The men were willing to per-
form twelve hours work for one days
pay, which any fair-minded per-
son will concede is more hours
than laboring men or craftsmen
should be required to perform. The COM
pany, in response to the demand, entered
into an agreement to pay the men for all
overtime in excess Of 12 hours at slight
reduction on the rate of wages paid by the
day, which agreement was signed by the Or
der Of President Chauncey Depew, and
lived up to for two months, and was then
broken by the company. When a commit
tee of employees waited on the officers of the
corporation at that time to inquire as to
why the agreement was not lived up to they
coolly informed the committee that the
agreement was obnoxious to the company
was of such q nature that they (the Off
cers) did not realize at the time of making
it what large amount Of money it was 90
ing to take.
Another agreement made by the corpora
tion with employees was also ruthlessly
broken. The company. through it's officers,
agreed to give the preference in line work
or promotion to employees on the prin-
cipal of seniority, when the senior
in service was competent to perform
the duties required. Not satisfied
with breaking these two agreements
the company has gone further and has now
dismissed from it's service many of it's old
est and most experienced men. The real
reason for the discharge seems to lie in the
fact that the men are union men. The
article concludes with charges of collusion
between Depew and Webb to clean out the
labor knights, the charge being based upon
the fact that Depew went abroad this sum-
meF.
