The Kentucky platform and the
enthusiasm and overwhelming vote
by which it was carried, against the
council of the Courier-JOurnal, Hon.
Jas. A. Mckenzie, Mr.. Atherton,
Judge Tarvin and others, wanting TO
strike out free silver and make a
platform to fit Grover Cleveland,
shows how badly the Cleveland pa
pers of the country are MISLEADING
the spirit and temper OF the people.
1t shows that the people of the
South are determined to make silver
an issue, and that they recognize the
utter Inconsistency of nominating a
candidate ON Il platform which he
openly and forcihly declares himself
against in advance. Moreover, it
emphasizes the fact that Democracy
does not regard any one man bigger
than the party. Democrats all give
Mr.. Cleveland credit for his honesty
and are sorry he is SO far out of line
with the party and the Democratic
delegation whom they have elected
to Congress.
If Democrats are not going to
stand by their representatives in
Congress who have faithfully carried
out their wishes, then it all Child's
play, and there is no use in trying to
elect Democratic Congress. There
fore Democrats don't mean to surren-
der principle and victory both and
take the back track for the sake Of
honOring any one man, and the
Courier. Journal, with its powerful
influence, having failed to convince
Kentuckians that they should face
for Cleveland, it time for the press
of the South to fall into line with the
party and work for harmony.

A HE1Nous CRIME.
An Outrage Attempted Upon the Per-
son of Mrs. E. p. Shaw.

TOBACCO PORT, TENN, May 49,
This place was much excited Sun
day evening by the appearance of a
posse of armed men on the hunt of
a negro who attempted an outrage
upon the person of Mrs. E. p Shaw,
near Model, Tenn. They captured
Geo. Johnson, colored, and brought
him to the ferry, and as he did not
fully suit the description of the ne
gro who committed the crime, he was
turned over to the citizens of Tobac-
CO Port for safe keeping, but was re-
leased next day at noon.
The full particulars of the crime
are as follows: On Saturday, May
IS, Mrs. e. p. Shaw went to the
woods where her husband was at
work, and upon returning to the
house she saw negro standing in
the yard. The negro, seeing Mrs.
Shaw, approached her, which caused
her to run, but the negro pursued,
caught and dragged her three-quar-
tiers of a mile through the woods,
beating her until her screams
brought aid. The negro ran off upon
the appearance of the men who came
to her rescue. Mrs. Shaw is now in
a very critical condition and is under
the treatment of a physician, who
thinks her recovery doubtful.

Concerning the Tragic Fate Of Edmond
Brandon.

Brandon.
The Waco Day gives the following
account of the murder of Edmond
Brandon:
cat the pretty little town Of Ro
seminal the Christian congregation
has church, the name Of which is
Oak Grove. Edmond Brandon was
the secretary and treasurer. This old
man was always present at all ser
vices until last Sunday morning, and
his absence caused immediate re-
mark.
"'Something is wrong was the
expression Of all tongues, and after
dinner his neighbors, j. A. Hobbs
and ID II. Brown, rode over to see
after him.
"The old secretary and treasurer re-
sided in a box house two miles from
Rosenthal, on the county road to
Robinson, three miles from the latter
town and ten miles from Waco.
"Being a bachelor he lived alone
and performed all the functions of
housekeeping.
"NO response came when the neigh
bors knocked. There was no hospi-
table come in to greet them, and
the neighbors gazed at each other in
mazement, each questioning,
neither replying. Presently they
pushed the door open and walked in
and the spectacle that greeted them
was enough to bring the CALCULATIONS
of horror that burst from their lips.
"On the floor, dead, coagulated
blood in masses about him, was the
old man face down, hands clasped
beneath, his head gashed, dead, very
dead"
ole was last seen the Wednesday
before, and it is probable that he had
remained as he fell from Wednesday,
the 18th inst, until last Sunday.
The condition of the corpse justified
that conclusion. 1t was buried yes
terday by neighbors."
Justice Gallagher went out and
viewed the body. He will keep his
inquest open during the week, adj
journing it from day to day until all
the testimony is in"
yesterday morning Charles Smith
and Bill Brown, negroes employed
on Mr.. Tom Pilley'o farm, adjacent
to the farm of the murdered man,
and Tom Hammond, a negro EN-
ployed by deceased, were arrested
and locked up.
Last night King Simms was lock
ed up by Deputy Sheriff Burk. The
latter was in possession of effects of
the dead man.
"Bill Brown was dismissed from
custody, there being no evidence to
connect him with the crime. The
motive vase robbery. The muir
dered man WAS custodian of funds of
the church and had money of his
own, all of which he kept in his
house. All the vaIuables were taken
away and also bedding and clothing
of the dead man.
"Ihe murderers appear to have re-
turned several times to the house,
after the night of the crime.
"Sheriff Dan Ford and Captain
Van Hall sent guards down last
night, believing that if another ac-
complete was arrested he might be
lynched. There will be another in
in Jail to-day on this ac-
count unless the lynchers got in their
work last night, which is not inpos-
