There has come change. The Amer
ican stands before the people as villain
GUS columniator, traducer, slanderer,
liar. Mr.. Mcdowell is unqualifedly and
completely vindicated. He has shown
by court records that it would be folly
to bring suit for libel against The
American. The judgment of the court
is on record showing amounts secured
by Judgment against The American ag-
gregating $50, 1000, and other libel suits
are now pending.
As to the witnesses produced by the
American, Mr.. Mcdowell proves one of
them to be a gambler and Sabbath
breaker, court records showing him to
have been tried and fined for these Of
fenses. Another is proved to be brute;
for when supplies were sent to Red
Fork township to relieve sufferers from
great overflow, this witness said that
the sending of the supplies was having a
bad effect on the labor of the commu-
nifty, and for his part he wished that
'sthe parties who sent those supplies
were dead and in hell" The statement
and evidence of Methodist minister of
high standing proves still another of
The Americans witnesses to be drunk
ard and murderer. He has been drink
ing so long that he is almost an i1nbe-
cile, and in drunken spree on steam
boat in 1880 he shot and killed man
named Lafayette Edwards. who was sit
ting quietly by.
More than this, a large number of the
men who were reported by The American
as traducing Mr. Mcdowell have come
forward and said that the statements of
The American were forged and utterly
false. They deny having made the state
ments attributed to them by the paper.
Still more, Mr.. Mcdowell produces the
sworn and written statements of about
forty of the best citizens of Desha
county, commencing him as an upright
man and fearless supporter of the law,
and characteTizing him as a thorough
Christian gentleman. The statements
show that the law was almost disre-
garded, and that life was not safe in the
community before Mr.. Mcdowell took
the Office of justice of the peace, to
which he was honestly elected, and the
ISLANDERS that have been published against
him were instigated by a few lawlsss
hoodlums and scoundrels whose practices
Mr.. Mcdowell endeavored to suppress

DETROIT, July s4.-The Tribune pub
lished the following: Captain VIM. A.
Gavett of this city received an import.
ant letter from j. H. Manley Of Au-
gusta, Me-, in response to a letter writ
ten by him on the 18th inst. The sub
jects Of inquiry on the part OF Mr.. Cav
EFT were the health of Secretary James
G.. Blaine and his attitude :affecting the
earnest desire of the multitude of his
admirers in the Republican party that
he become its standard bearer in 1892.
The replies are specially significant
when it is remem bered that Mr. Manley
has for years been a warm personal
friend and the political confdante and
advisor of the distinguished secretary
of state. In effect Mr. Manley asserts
that Mr.. Blaine's health is almost fully
regained and that he will return to
Washington in the fall with all his
vigor and strength of both mind and
body. He further states that Mr.. Blaine
cannot become candidate for the Re-
publican nomination, but that in his
opinion if the Republican party wants
him for standard bearer in 1882, all it
has to do is to nomiaate him and he will

copyright, 1891, by Reform Press News Asso-
citation, New York.
The campaign of slander and vil1ifica-
ton against the Alliance and some of its
officers was recently renewed, with, if
possible, increased recklessness and in
tensiied vindictiveness and malignity.
President j. 81. Mcdowell, of the Ten
nessee State Alliance, was made prin-
cipal target, and most stupendous at
temptwas made to bury him in slander
and shame by the Nashville American.
The attack was made on him as the
State Alliance president, and the meth
DDS adopted by that paper, in the light
Of full developments, sink it deeper into
the slough Of degradation and villainy
than even the Topeka Capital has yet
sunk.
The American has waged relentless
warfare on Alliance principles, but find
ing its efforts in that direction vain and
futile, resorted to an effort to calumni-
ate and besmirch the character Of the
chosen Alliance leader in Tennessee,
hoping that such a course would turn
the Alliance against him and cause a
general stampede and disintegration Of
the organization in that state.
The charges of the American were
that while Mr.. Mcdowell lived in Desha
county, Ark, and while holding the Of
fee of justice of the peace, he issued
warrants on trumped up charges for the
purpose of exhorting fees from the peo,
pie, and also that he had to leave the
county on account of the odium he had
brought upon himself from the moral
element of the community. Various
other charges of similar villainous ma.
ture were made.
The American then proceeded to pro-
duce statements of many citizens ot
Desha county to prove the charges
brought. Alliance men and friends Of
the Alliance knew nothing about the
character of these citizens, and when
they read this page full of charges and
the proof CS of the same they were trOn.

bled. On paper it looked as though the
awful accusations and the proof q of the
same were impregnable. The people
would never have noticed the charges
alone, but the so called evidence did af-
feet them. The bolduess of the attack
was phenomenal, and to make it appear
as thoroughly riveted the American de-
fed Mr.. Mcdowell to bring a suit for
libel

Enormous Steals.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.-The governor
still refuses to give out for publication
the report of John w. Coons, who IN
vestigated the alleged frauds perpetrated
against the state at Washington. It
is said Coons made sensational discover
les and learned that $500, 900 is due
the state. While in Washington, it is
said. he discovered the most glarinc
frauds in connection with settlements Of
Indian war claims, many of the vouchers
being duplicated. One voucher in IA
vor of well known physician for $53.7 10
was, it is charged, raised to $3.50 and
paid. The governor was asked if Coons
had discovered that the state had been
defrauded out of $780, 000. He replied:
"Well, can't say that is the amount
exactly, but it is enormous. If the
claims of the state for war, tax, interest
and national road affairs We're paid, the
amount in total would not be less than
81 ,0OO, ,O0O."
| The Alliance in Texas.
DALLAS, Tex, July 2S.-Dr G. w.
McCune, editor of The National Econ
omist and recognized leader of the
Farmers Alliance, said if the sub
treasury scheme or something embrac-
ing its underlying principles is not con-
ceded by the old parties third party
will be in the field for the next presi-
dental campaign. He denies that the
| Texas alien land law is the child of the
Alliance. and asserts that the financial
domination of New York City will be
broken up, to the advantage of Chicago
and other cities. The Alliance in this
state has assumed all the fervor and de-
votion of a new religion. Alliance
camp-meetings are being held every
where. at which Alliance hymn books
are distributed and the proceedings of
which are opened and closed with
prayer. Sometimes speaker will hold
his audience four hours.

The people of Montpelier were shocked
to learn on Wednesday morning of the
death during the previous night from heart
disease, while asleep in his bed. of Gen.
Perley p. Pitkin. Gen. Pitkin was born
in Marshtield in 1926, but aside from few
years spent in California, when the gold
fever was at its height, he had been almost
continuously resident of Montpelier. He
enlisted at the breaking out of the war in
1861, and was commissioned quartermaster
of the Second Vermont regiment. In April.
1862, he was promoted to the rank of cap
tain aud later to that of colonel, and was
appointed to the important position of
quartermaster in charge of the depot of
supplies for the army of the Potomac, a
position for which his work for the Yer
mont troops had proved his eminent fitness
In this position Col. Pitkin at one time had
over 1900 civilian employees under his
charge, and the war material that passed
through his hands was immense in amount.
the supply depot being changed from place
to place to follow the movements of the
army. When Grants famous campaign
began in May, 1864, Capt. Pitkin was
placed in charge of the enormous train of
1000 wagons, which carried 10 days IA
tiOns for the army, with ammunition and
other supplies. While at Spottsylvania he
was selected to be the bearer of dispatches
from Gen. Grant to the war department,
which could be entrusted only to messen-
ger in whom Grant and the department had
cavalry he made the journey to Washington
and back in four days, and then resumed
his duties as chief depot quartermaster.
The ability and fidelity with which he per-
formed the burdensome duties of his Office
until he resigned his position in November,
1864, to become quartermaster general of
the state of Vermont, won him the conf
dence, admiration and respect of the author
titles at Washington, the army officers, and
the people of Vermont.
Since the war Gen. Pitkin has been CON
nected with the Lane manufacturing COM
pany at Montpelier, and has been its presi-
dent for several years. He represented
Montpelier in the legislature in 1874, and
has several times been elected to town and
village offices. He was twice married, and
leaves, besides a wife, four sons, three of
whom are connected with the Lane manu-
featuring company, Gen. Pitkin had been
in unusually good health of late, and there
was no premonition of his death when it
occurred with such startling suddenness.
