nncH.NAN.s CANDIDACY.

John P. Buchanan has taken the
stump for himself. He nominated
himself and stands on a platform OF
his own making. His candidacy ls
contemplate, ludicrous AID PitIable'
all at the same time.
Two years ago the Democracy took
him from the corn row and placed
him in the State House. He was not
the choice of majority of his party
He was the favorite of The Farmers
Alliance and was bitterly opposed by
the business men of the cities. Did
these same business men refuse TO
support him after he was nominated?
Because the man of their choice was
beaten for the nomination, did they
put him out as an independent candi-
date against the regular nominee?
You all do know the history Of
that campaign. The disappointed
candidates and CheiT friends pocketed
their disappointment and gave Buch'
aran their loyal support, not because
they liked him personally, tut be-
cause he was the nominee Cf the
party. In doing this they did 10 h.
ing more than their duty as good
Democrats. How is it this year
Buchauan was candidate for re-
nomination. He stayed in the field
until he found that Judge Turney
had secured two thirds OF the con-
vention. Then he formally with
drew before the convention met.
There was no candidate before the
convention but Judge Turney. After
this, Buchanan came out in his true
colors. His course since has PROVED
that the suspicious of his Democracy
entertained before the convention
were well founded. III order to re
venge himself for his own dtsap
pointed ambition and to vent hi
spleen upon the men who oppos
him. he does not hesitate to turn hi
arms against the party which ha

lie is the only man IN the histor!
of the country who has had tn
arrogance to nominate himself for tn
high Office of Governor and make al
own platform in opposition to tn
combined wisdom of his party.
He says by his course that n
knows better what Democracy is ant
who the party needs for Governo
than all the balance of the State.
VIII the farmers of the State g
back on Judge Turney and thei
party organization to support a maj
who has acted as Buchanan has ant
who is in the field to get revenge TO
personal disappointment? In
great battle for principle, will the,
let the petty enmities of one man
one class divert them from thei
plain duty?
There is as little reason for support
ing buchanan because he was
farmer and Judge Turney is lawye
as there would have been two year
ago for the business men to hav
boIted the nominee and run mer

VIII De Given the italian Who Murdered
an American Sailor.
GENOA, Oct. 6.-The facts in the case
of the killing of Frank B. Reilly, OF
Harrisburg, Pa, an oiler on board the
United States cruiser Newark, appear to
be about as follows:
He was on shore with other Americans
and some British seamen, on Sept. 8, to
see the Columbus fete. They enjoyed
themselves until late hour, and then
went to lodging house, the Albergo
Universe, to try and get bed.
There was row over the price of the
beds, followed by a fight with waiter
named Agostino Barravalle. AS they
left the house running up the street the
waiter, who had armed himself with
long bread knife, gave chase, and CATCH
ing up with Reilly, who was the rear
man, because he was SO fat, fatally
stabbed him. The crew of the Newark
have subscribed for thirty years rent OF
a grave for their dead comrade. King
Umberto has on three separate occasions
expressed his regret to Admiral Ben
ham, who is in command of the Amerl-
can fleet in the harbor, declaring that
the fullest extremity of the law will be
invoked to punish the murderer. The
case comes up on the 22d of this month.
The extreme penalty is fifteen years at
hard labor, as no capital punishment ex,
lists in Italy for nOn-poEt1caI crimes, and
a life sentence is not customary.

there is every reason to believe that
Governor Northen will be reelected by
a majority of from 10000 upwards. In
some sections of the state the Peoples
party is strong, in others 1t has no or.

of third party managers has been very
badly handled. For a while those to
whom the management was intrusted
were over confident, and they let their
opportunities of doing anything for
their party slip by. They have lost
ground steadily since their nominating

them hone to do ANYTHING.

A son, aged fourteen, was SO badly
beaten that he is not expected to re-

The only excuse that can be offered
for the outrageous treatment OF these
people is the fact that he loaned aid 70

because he had voted the Democratic
