THE ELECTION BILL FIGHT.
It VIII be Fairly Opened Tomorrow
When Mr.. Quay's Resolution Comes Up.

EXPECTED TO BE SHORT AND SHARP CONTEST
TALK OF A CAUCUS ToNIGHT-MR. QUAYs
FoLLowING-THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
Mr.. Quay got his amended resolution in the
Senate today and it will come up tomorrow
under the rules. The fight will then begin. 1t
Is hard to estimate how long it will last but
the chances are that it will be short and sharp
The advocates of the election bill now have
very little hope Of passing their bill this ses-
sion, but they expect to get a caucus tonight
in hopes of overcoming Mr.. Quay. But the
battle appears to be against them, though.
QUAY MAY YET BE MADE UNHAPPY.
On a vote in the Senate Mr.. Quay will prob
ably not have as strong following as he ap-
peared to have in the caucus on the vote
against the Hoar amendment. but he will in all
PROBABILITY have strength enough to carry out
the deal he has made with the democrats
The majority In caucus against the House
amendment grew out of the fact that all of
those Senators who are opposed 10 any change
OF the rules, or who doubt the advlsability Of
passing the election bill, voted on the same
side with Mr.. Quay. AS matter Of fact, Mr..
Quay has a very small personal following, but
Tor ms own purposes he has
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPOSITION
that exists to a change of the rules to Jump to
the front with his proposition and assume the
attitude of leader. The chances are that
very few OF those Senators who appear to be
following the Pennsylvania Senator understood
his motions any better than the public do.
When the matter comes up III the Senate a
substitute will be offered, providing for a
change of the rules. giving the majority con-
troll of the business of the Senate. 1t is re-
ported today the President has communicated
with some of the Senators urging agains: fol-
lowing Quay to the detrment of the party.

A MAD NEGRO.
He Runs Amuck on tho Streets Of {
Western Town.

RACINE, Wis, August l8.-Charles Cole, A
colored man who recently came here from the
south, ran amuck on Douglass avenue yester-
day, and as a result one man is lying in a dan
gerous condition and two others badly hurt.
Cole made his appearance on the avenue armed
with a razor, big stone and followed by an
ugly bull dog. He evidently was crazed by
liquor. James Smith was walking on the west
side of the street and without the least WARM
ing Cole, who WAS on the east side, started to-
ward Smith. He lost the razor but before
Smith could realize what the trouble was the
darkey struck him with stone and knocked
him senseless. The negro then jumped on the
PROSTATE man and hammered him with an
other stone, while the bull dog chewed his legs
in frightful manner. Ex-Justice of the Peace
Michael Shield came along and attempted to
assist Smith. whom the negro was numbering.
The wild man turned on Shield, who struck
and smashed a cane over his head. and he then
ran away and secured piece Of board. When
he returned the darkey had attacked a man
named Schneider and cut and bruised him
about the head. Shield at once proceeded
to pound the darkey on the head
with the board, but t had no effect
Joseph Morawitz. near whose place the row oc-
cured, came ont and the darkey struck him
with a rock, injuring him internally. shield
Schneider and two other men now waded into
the darkey, and after hard iSht overpowered
him and held him down till an officer arrived
A running fight took place between the officer
and the negro and the officer was knocked
down. He used his club freely and smashed
the negro's face and nose. By this time the
chief of police and the city marshal arrived
on the scene and the Wild darkey was landed
in jail, where he fought like a demon and made
a desperate attempt to kill Officer Harms with
a spittoon. Smith, the man who was struck
and pounded with a rock, is in bad shape.
Spectators state that had it not been for the
Interference of Mr.. Shield Smith would have
been pounded to death. Schneider's injuries
are not dangerous.

charges, against him were true, he had
not been the commanding officer II the
Charges were true they brought disgrace
upon the gallant Forest, who stood by his side
The fact that until the end of the war he had
served with that officer as second in command
was proof that he was guilty Of no conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman No
gentleman on the democratic side would
believe a story which would disgrace the brave
Forrest, and the men who had served under
Grant and Sherman were too manly to bring
disgrace upon an American soldier. Continu-
ing, Mr. Chalmers said that he felt that this re-
publican form of government was in danger OF
being overriden and
TEoDDEN UNDER FEET By THE SOUTHERN
oL1aARCHY.
For fifteen years the republican porty had been
fighting the northern democrats in the open
field while exposed to Gank fire from the
southern democrats entrenched behind walls
erected by fraud and violence. They should
see to it that the national government,
was not controlled by fraud and vio-
lence. Tne southern governor who had
without protest seen Outrages like the killing
OF negroes at Iazoo and Carrolton, grew frantic
with rage over fair fight between two pugil-
ists. 1t was fair question whether the demo-
cratic party was not going to the devil as fas,
as 1t could and taking Mississippi with it.
