b. G. Beckwith, Esq, of Raleigh,
is candidate for chief clerk of the
House of Representatives. At the be-
ginning of the recent campaign he
wished to resign as secretary of the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee because he did not feel able to neg
leet his law practice and devote his
time and energies to work for the par
ty, but the Democratic leaders. insis-
ted that he should remain. He did
soand performed his duties with con-
spicuous faithfulness. His services
were very valuable to the Democratic
party and the party should see to it
that Mr.. Beckwith does not go unre-
warded. As simple matter OF JUS
tice, it cannot afford to ignore his
Claims. In addition to this recon.
mendation, Mr.. Beckwith has that of
excellent capacity for the work re-
quired of chief clerk. His intelli-
gence, quickness and industry qualify
him to perform his duties to the salts
faction of the legislature. We most
respectfully recommend his claims to
the attention of every Democratic
member from this section of the State.
-
Col. j. S. Clarkson, the chief head.
chopper Of Democratic department
clerks in this administration, says the
late defeat of the Republicans was not
due to the Mckinley bill, the Force
bill, or any other bill. but to the news
papers of the country. Mr.. Clarkson
would doubtless like to have a gag law
passed to muzzle the great independ-
ent press of this country. What they
would have done had the whole coun
try gone Republican is exemplifed in
Oklahoma, where the legislature has
passed law making it criminal of
Tense for any newspaper tn publish
anything rejecting on a mau's charac-
ter whether true or false. The terri
tory Of Oklahoma, which was settled
mostly by thieves and cut throats
was one of the few places car
ried by the Republicans in the last
election. What a delightful cline cit
would be just now for Quay and
CIarkson! No newspaper could Ie-
mind them of their past rascality.

HARTFORD, July CDR. George e. Mark
ham of East Hartford died July 4 of diphthe-

of Hiram Crossley. While cleaning the
child's throat some of the saliva or mucous
was forced into the doctors face and touched
his lips. He rapidly grew worse. although
the best of medical skill was In attendance at
his bedside. Drs. Mcknight, Sedgwiek, Girls
void and Wainwright did all in their power
to save the life Of their stricken brother.
About 4:3O a. m. on the morning of the
Fourth. while DR.. Mcknight was at the
house, DIR. Markham was taken with sud-
den stoppage Of the throat, and in his strug-
Gle for life sprang from the bed. But one
eourse was left for DR.. Mcknight to pursue
and he quickly and pluckily did It. This
WAS to make an incision In the throat to al
low the air to reach the lungs. He was
alone and had to attend the patient until DR..
Sedawick could be telephoned for and ar
rived with a tube for the throat. This oper-
alton only tended to prolong life until 4:15
D. m. when DR.. Markham quietly passed
away.
Dr.. Markham was born in East Long
meadow, Mass, and after graduating at coll
lege settled in Burnside about eight years
ago, where, by his kindly disposition, his
geniality and his skill. he built up large
practice and made scores of friends. He was
