Political dots In Americas Recorder:
Judge d. b. Harrel came over from Rich-
land yesterday Sand reports everythin G
smooth and democratic In the grand old
estate of Webster" Col. 8. Fl, Hawkins
is at home again from business trip to
New York and other eastern points. The
situation In New York, he thinks, is very
encouraging for a sweeping victory for
democracy IN November. A renegade third
partyite was seen haranguing q crowd of
sixteen negroes near the alley behind the
Barlow block last night. However, as each
OF the negroes considered himself better
than the orator ~ it is not supposed that
his teachings" amounted to much.
Butler Herald: Col. Walter e. Steed and
Hon. Seaborn Montgomery met in joint de-
bate at Carsonville last Saturday. The
crowd was composed mostly of third party
ties. and it was not generally understood
that Col. Steed would speak. However he
came in rather on the blind side, and it was
admitted by all that he tore up Mr.. Mont
gomery's argument both root and branch
Mr.. Montgomery had the opening and Col.
Steed the closing argument, and for IL
hours each the political questions were dis
cussed. After MIR. Montgomery had dis
cussed the tariff, the national bank and the
silver question at considerable length, hii
political record was then taken up by Col
Steed and given one of the most severe
criticisms ever known. Col. Steed wa
oheered long and loud by members OF thu
third party and the strongest supporters O
Mr.. Montgomery. Messrs. Steed and Mont
gomery spoke at Murray's school house las
night. and the result was the same as a
CArsonville.
Walton News: Along with Cyclone Davi
came one Wardall, third party man from
South Dakota, il we are correctly informed
Davis, Wardan and Blackburn all left Oh
the O'Clock train, after the speaking Satur
day. After passing jug Tavern, Wardall
Blackburn and cotton buyer from Gaines
vile were talking politics. Wardal
claimed South Carolina as a third part,
state, Blackburn remarked that b
would bet $500 to $50 that the democrats
would get South Carolina. The cotton
buyer offered another $500 on the same $50
| Wardall said: II will not bet with yoy
black-leg gamblers Blackburn was o.
his feet in an instant, and quietly said: -
am gentleman, and II you call me a black
leg gambler, you are liar.
! Wardall grabbed for his valiss as if to opeI
| it TO procure a weapon. Thereupon BlacK
burn drew his revolver and told Wardall hi
would be dead man if he moved an inch
At that point the alteration came to AT
abrupt termination. Such, in brief, is tn,
statement OF an eyewitness. Be 1t said Il
his credit, Cyclone" Davis had no hand In
the matter, and, probably, when Wardal
looked into the cold muzEle Of a Georgis
pistol, Davis knew It was no time for
Texas cyclone to interfere.
Not So Bad as 1t Sounded.
