CARTER TO BLAME.


The Republican Chairman Held Respon
sibie for the Recent Landslide.
ST. PAUL. Nov. ia Washington
special to The Dispatch says: The true
story concerning the awful mismanage-
ment of the Republican campaign by
the Republican national committee will
soon be published in brief To tell the
would story would fill volume. No
true nor tabled condition in Kilkenny
ever rivaled the condition in that ele-
giant headquarters on Fifth avenue,
where the air by day and by night was
reeking with harmony as devoid of
melody as Wagnerian score. Men
like Clarkson, Quay and Manley were
obliged to stand outside Mr.. Carter's
door and humbly beg permission to see
the great man from the West, who
clothed with little brief authority, did
cut political capers most peculiar and
unique. For the first few weeks Mr..
Carter had for doorkeeper an alleged
newspaper man who understood Mon
tana affairs, but whose hatband con-
tracted when he undertook to manage
the chairman of an unmanageable COM
mittee. The doorkeeper held the person
OF MIR. Carter too sacred for the gaze of
the vulgar herd. He turned away such
men as General Stewart Woodford,
Smith Whitfield, General Spalding and
finally said to his fellow employees:
Nobody shall see Mr.. Carter unless 1
say so; not even the Nazarene." But
this is only an inkling concerning the
situation at Republican national
headquarters during the recent
campaign. Men who had borne the
brunt of many political battle stayed
away and let things go by default
rather than bow the knee to an upstart.

POPLAR GROVE, Ark, Nov. 15.-Sam
Nickel, negro of this place, is living
curiosity. Some time in August he was

touch with the disadvantages
which surround US was never
more forclably shown than DUR
lug the last fortnight. Since the
killing of young Lomax all the
circumstance surrounding that
unfortunate occurrence were per-

which followed contained only
those sayings of speakers, out.of
which capital could be made
against us, printed out of their
true relation to the whole speech
"a detached portion that would
afford material for sensational
headlines, which is all most what
people read of such articles. Every
thing which would tend to make

sy has quieted down somewhat,
the fire is kept up by an effort to
attribute every exhibition of
crime to the meeting The Asst.
District Attorney was quoted ID

the meeting there bad been a
visible increase in the number of
colored offenders. We are in
formed that the letters were writ-

A BATTLE.

The War Department at Washington
has received information Of the surprise
by United States troops of one of Gar
za's camps of revolutionists near Las
Cuevates and Ringgold and of the cap
ture of one of the rebel officers.
Lieutenant Langhorn, with a troop of
cavalry and force of rangers, struck .
camp of revOlutionists three miles from
Las Cuevates. About 1000 shots were
exchanged. No casualties occurred on
the American side. The revolutionists
escaped into the dense chapparal, leaving
one prisoner behind.
The troops pursued closely, and Cara
is now hemmed in on all sides, and may
be captured.
1t is understood that the Government
will order several hundred more troops
to Texas to defend the border.
