hoods seems to be the whole stock

campaign in this county. The fol-
lowing in last weeks Leader under
the head of "Political Acrobats,"
in regard to f. w. Smythe, candi-
date for county Judge on the re.
publican ticket, is a fair sample of
their malignant falschoods:
.Prior to the peoples convention
held at Richland one year ago, F.
w. Smytle, of this city, ring can
didatc for county Judge, was all
active member Of that political or
ganization. The evening previous
he promised to attend the conven-
and said he would ride over
the next day in c. Fl. Freeman's
carriage. Why did he not keep
his word! On the same day the
ring county convention was held
he was elected chairman of the
ring county central committee, and
later ON was admitted to practice
law in Union county, and u week
ago last Tuesday was nominated
for county judge
Al the time alluded to last veal
Mr.. Smythe had been elected by
the republicans of Elk Point town
ship as a delegate to the count,
convention. He was offered a po
sition on the peoples ticket bu
refused because he was q republi
can aud was not III sympathy witt
the movement. Mr.. Smythe wa
also offered the nomination O:
county judge on the ''independcn
ticket" this year but refused TO
the anne eason Since Mr.
Smythc has been a resident Q.

years, he has been MI active, work
ing republican and has affil'atet
with no other party Why sncl
downright lying as the abov'
should be published about him j
beyond our comprehension. Sucl
plain and apparent lies cannot Ger
tainly do him any harm. Some
thing might be said Of Mr.. Smythe''
opponent on the independent tick
ct as the great political tumbler'
Of the age, but we do not deem ]
necessary or good politics to at
tack the personnel of the indepen

A CRAZY FREAK.
John Drew, of Butte, A ttempts to Knock

John Drew, of Butte, A ttempts to Knock
Out Train.
BUTTE, June 2a.-[Special. James Drew,
an elderly citizen of Butte, was run down
and instantly killed by Montana Union
freight train in the suburbs Of the city
shortly after noon to-day. Now that he
has met such death, friends remember
that he had been acting queerly for some
time, but nothing was thought Of it. This
morning he went down to the Montana
Union track. and spent some time walking
up and down. gesticulating in violent
manner. When the south bound express
came in he stepped upon the track in front
of the engine and was thrown nearly OF the
right of way, but the blow being from the
side he was only bruised. Ten minutes
later he took stand between the rails and
faced an incoming freight train. When
the engine was close upon him he assumed
pugilistio attitude as il he would knock
out the train and coolly waited its COM
ing. He was struck with terrific force
and thrown into the ditch whore
the trainmen found him, . few minutes
after, dead. His skull had been fractured
and his left leg cut OF. No blame could be
attached to tho engineer, as, when he saw
Drew, he was looking at tbs train and had
ample time to get on the tzack. His mo-
tiona we're naturally takcn for attempted
sanartness. The coronsr's Jury brought in

PRESERVATION OF LIBERTY.

Judge Tuley, of Chicago, Makes an Extra
Judicial Declaration.
CHICAGO, June 29.-The 10, 900 people who
attended the annual games of the Turner
societies of Chicago listened to letter
from the well-known jurist, Judge Murray
F. Tuley, which aroused decided interest.
The letter was addressed to the Chicago
District Turner's as members of the Personal
Rights League, and was read by President
Dyrenfurth, of the league. In the letter
Judge Tuley says he regardsstheir orRaniza-
tion as one of the most important factors
in the preservation of the liberties of the
people now existing. "Just SO far" says
the judge, ''as the individual is deprived of
his personal right, just to that extent is he
in slavery. Every law which, directly or
indirectly, forbids the exercise of or abridges
that extent of his liberty. But the danger
to liberty is not so much from unequal or
tyrannlcal legislation as from the ignoring
of written laws, and the usurpation by ex-
ecutlve officers Of powers and authority not

ministration of the law, and under the

position to all sumptuary and other vicious

they wish to preserve their liberties there
must be eternal vigilance in the protection

they are hardly worth considering until the
big men are out of the race.
After tha senat orship, the absorbing
topic is, who shall succeed Hill AZ governor?
As this fight takes place at the polls, be-
fore the contest for the senatorship begins,
the same men who are candidates for
honors in Washington will control the con-
ventions who shall namc the candidates for
governor. A few days ngo saw two men
walking together in BROOKLYN. OnB was in
the prime of life, young, clean cut and az
full of fire rs race horse. It was
Mayor Alfred G. Chaplin and tho man at his
% sn vsh stoon
who is grooming the younger one for the
governorship stakes. Chnpin is AeLauRh-
Inns candidate to succeed Hill, and he will
60 into the race with an unbroken record.
He is as smart as the traditional steel
trap. He has never been beaten in .
and has ALWAYS believed in keeping on good
terms with the boss Of his party. He can
make a stump speech in English or Ger
man, and he plays politics in way that de-
lights the machine bosses. He will be a
strong candidate before the convention.
Gov. Hill is anxious to reward Congressman
Flower for services in the past. and he
is urging him forward as his own sue
cessor. In few weeks Hill, Flower
and Chaplin will start on a political
jaunt across the continent. Their visit
is for the purpose of making friends
who shall be useful to Hill in the next
national convention. They are going
out in special car, and already prep
arations are being made by democratic
organizations in the big cities on their
route to give them royal welcome. May
or Grant, who at one time it was thought
would succeed Hill, is going to remain at
home and keep his own fences in repair.
Ex-Mayor Grace who is secretly believed
the various citizens movements in
New York, hopes to be able to
outwit both Hill, Flower and Chaplin and
snatch the prize for himself. Grace is
very good politician in New York city, but
he is out of any contest that requires calm,
cool Judgment and knowledge OF state
and national politics. He is an interesting
figure Just now. He will do the vanishing
man trick before October.
And while all this fight is going on, where
is Grover Cleveland?
Has he given up all ambition?
Not much. ..5...
He is more anxious than ever to again en-
ter the white house, but how he can secure
a hearing in a national convention with the
delegates from his own state against him is
the question.
Hill is already at work securing de legates
for himself, and when Cleveland and his
friends begin their labor in few months
they will find the stable door open and the
horse stolen.
II Hill cannot go to the white house him
self, he will take mighty good care that
Grover Cleveland does not.
Wait and see! FOSTER COATES.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Talkine about Ell

examined Ell Rio Rey at st. Louis and pro-

opinion that he could not race IN his trne
form in the near future, at least, although
a tracheotomy tube would greatly benefit
him. AS there is a possibility of the horse re-
covering, Mr.. Winters has decided to send
him home, and in the spring breed some of
his mares to him and then try him again.

get perfectly we'll he will be kept in the
