Suspended to n Limb.

DENIsoN, Tex, March 1S.-This after
noon about o'clock Il white man was
found hanging by the neck on the Blue
Bluff ferry road about four miles east of
the city. No one in that neighborhood
seems to know anything about the man
but every evidence indicates that an I'M
known hand assisted in suspending the
body. The man is not known and the gen
eral suppOstion is that he was lover of
horse flesh and was followed from the
Territory, captured and hung. Judge
Cook and a number of men left for the
scene of the hanging at p. III.

RELOCATING THE POOR FARM.

Two Committees Consider the Subject-An
j Ordnance Prepared for Councils-Coun.
cilmen 20 Visit the Institution-Proffers
of New Sites Being Made.
Chief Elliot and the special committee ap-
pointed to consider the changing Of the To-
cation of the Poor Farm had secret seance
yesterday afternoon. Assistant City Solici-
tor Burleigh presented rough draft of an
ordinance to authorize the sale of the present
Poor Farm property. Some trifing amend
ments were made, and the ordinance, when
polished up, will be presented to Councils
on Monday.
The Committee on Charities, which has
been criticised for not meeting, then sue.
ceeded in getting together, and organized
by electing Thomas @. Perry, Chairman.
Mr.. Elliot asked the committee to visit the
Poor Farm and see for themselves the
necessity of change of location. The COM
mittee will visit the farm on Thursday
morning, and will invite all the members OF
Councils who so desire to 60 along.
Chief Elliot has as yet given no attention
to the matter of securing another site, as he
says that is matter belonging entirely to
Councils. ALL he asks is that he is given
enough room, good water and easy transpor-
tation. He thinks there would be no dlfl-
Guilty in selling the old property, as por-
ton of it is eminently fitted for manuiactur.
ing purposes, and the remainder is well
adapted for residence sites.
Several persons have already called upon
Controller Morrow with offers of property
upon which to locate the institution. Yes
terday Captain @. A. Dravo dropped in to
see him. The captain is interested in a farm
of400 acres, located in bend of the Yough-
iogheny, few miles above McKeesport.
The property consists of level plateau on
the river bank, but above high-water mark.
1t is thought that reasonable offer would
be accepted. The Baltimore and Ohio and
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railroads run near this property.
Chief Elliot, when asked what he thought
of the site, said the location was good one,
but he could not say much about it until he
saw the property.

CALL FOR A CHANGE.
THE CRAWFORD COUNTY SYSTEM
LOUDLY DEMANDED.

Speakers Who Think the District Was I'm.
posed UpOn-ResOIutiOns That Met With
Hearty Approbation-John Hampton's
Witty Speech Well Received.
Mr.. John B. Kennedy was called out by
many voices, and took the platform. He
said he felt that the nomination OF Colonel
Stone was fraud on the voters. he thought
that if any person should have been nomi-
mated at the convention it was George
Shiras. He said, however, that the meet
ing was not to indorse any candidate, but to
protest against a great wrong. Mr.. Ken
nedy said that he desired to present some
resolutions, and he read the following:
Resolved, By the Republican party of the
T,venty-third Congressional district, in mass
meeting assembled, that the Republican
County Executive Committee be requested to
SO modify its rules that the Crawford county
system of voting at the primaries may be
adopted instead Of the delegate method now in
vogue, and that the Australian method Of cast
ing the ballot be also adopted, thus securing to
ballot directly for the person of his choice
without the knowledge or interference Of
others.
The reading of these resolutions was re-
ceived with great applause.
AN INIMITABLE ADDRESS.
John H. Hampton, the lawyer, was then
called to the stage by almost irresistible
shouting. He made an inimitable address,
keeping the great audience in almost con-
slant laughter. He desired, be said, to pre-
vent the ownership of the party from being
turned over to a set of rascally politicians.
He did not conceive that greater outrage
was ever perpetrated on any people than was
operated by the dime museum convention.
This sentence was saluted with yells of
laughter and cheers. He did not care much
for the County Committee. He declared the
people to be above any committee, always
competent to name their candidate, without
party or ring Endorsement He did not take
much stock in the County Committee, be-
lieving that it did not represent the people.
He made fun of Colonel Stones expression:
81 would like to represent my district"
He emphasized the word "my," saying that
when he went to school "my" represented
the possessive that somebody owned some
thing.
THINKS IT AN INSULT.
Mr.. Hampton thought that Colonel
Bayne had insulted the voters of the dis
trict. He said: "His letter of to-day is
worse than the crime he committed. He
insulted our people and then turns around
and says: Lay on, Mickey Duff" This
Milesianism ELECTED great laughter. Mr.
Hampton closed by saying that he did not
want to see the Twenty-third district
made a dumping ground for worn
out politicians. He said: "Don't let
the politicians on the other side of the river
come over here and set this thing up on us.
wouldn't like to live in Pittsburg. There
are too many pipes laid in the streets and
elsewhere. If we cannot get our rights
from the County Committee we can get
them at the ballot box"
Chairman Jones then put the two sets of
resolutions to the meeting, and both were
adopted without dissenting vote.

Colonel Bayne Pays His Respects 60 His
Friends and Foes.
A letter was received in this city yesterday
from Colonel Bayne, in which that gentle
man, after severely arraigning his critics,
gives the following reasons for his course
In the Twenty-third Congressional district
contest:

ayear ago. After two months service on the
Ways and Means Committee regretted had
announced my candidacy, bow arduous the
work on that committee is no one but mem,
Der of it can tell. During the time of this
labor Mr. Shiras became candidate. Many
friends telegraphed or wrote me to come home
and make q fight. The sollcitude Of these
friends, as any of them I think will testify,
was greater than my own. But as the canvass
detach from me the support of the Jr o. q. A.
M That aroused me to the best action was
capable of. I felt constrained by self-respect
and pride, as well as by sense Of fidelity to
my friends, to win the nomination if could.
Close upon this came the suggestion that my
defeat might be construed adversely to the Nc.
Kinley tariff bill. That aroused my sense of
public obligation. / was thus impelled, as
saw it, by personal pride, by fidelity to friends
and by public duty to win the nomination,
though did not intend to accept it.
To my friends who honestly feel indignation
at my course in this affair wish to say that I
do not think You have sufficient cause under
the circumstances, which have truthfully
stated. To my friends who never mistrusted
my loyalty to truth, duty and honor in my
transactions with my fellow-men, tender my
heartfelt thanks. To my enemies whom have
never endeavored and shall never endeavor to
appease, say, Lay on. Maoduf, and damned

rarv Chairman, of the Twenty-third Dis
trict Convention, described how astonished
he was when Colonel Bsyne withdrew. He
declared his opinion that Colonel Stones
nomination was irregular and void. If the
Colonel thought he were the nominee, he
should stand without finching. Mr.. Nc
Clung said he felt that after the electors had
certified their choice between Bayne and
Shirss, the successful man was not julius
Cesar. He did not own the district.
While he was speaking there we're often
cries of "Ricketson," which were almost
always received by answering cries for
fShiras."
Some gentleman near the door asked how
II was that Mr.. McClung was Chairman Of
the convention and did not stop the NOM
instion of Colonel Stone. Mr.. McClung re-
piled that he was simply temporary chair
man, and had nothing to do with the per-
manent work of the convention.
