THEDUDE MAY BEDOWNED
His Opponents Hard at Work
at Olympia--Canal Scheme
Not Popular
Fight Between Strikers and
Soldiers at Buffalo--SeVeral
Men Killed
Diabolical Deeds at Reading
and Niagara Falls---Bold
Hold-up in Chicago

OLYMPIA, Aug. 23-There is pros
pect of the liveliest kind of fight upon
the opening of the convention. There
is no change in the situation as regards
Lewis this afternoon. His sue
cess depends almost wholly upon the
skill with which his canvass is con-
Quoted. Most of his friends are devoted
and uncommissioned, so for that matter
are his enemies. The latter will take
anybody but Lewis. There is a slight
talk of Lewis for congress and Drum
for governor, but it amounts to moth
ing. The Blalock boom took slight
squirt last night, but does not flourish
very vigorously. Ex-Governor Sem
pie, of King, is very hopeful of the
nomination if the Lewis boom is de-
stroyed. In fact, Lewis opponents
are united for the common purpose of
beating him. Their unity, however,
ends there.
King county is not likely to succeed
in securing the adoption Of any resolu-
ton endorsing the Lake Washington
canal scheme. The congressional NOM
inees will probably be Tom Carroll, of
Tacoma, and NJ. NJ. Goldman, of Day
ton, though there is some talk of War
ner, of ColfaX.
Two aspirants for lieutenant-gover-
nor have appeared-B. b. Glasscock, of
Lincoln, and John b. Slater, of Ste
vens. Glasscock has both Lincoln and
Spokane backing him. X. l.. Sharp
stein, of Walla Walla, and w. III.
Brinker, of Pacific, are out for the two
vacancies in the supreme bench.
Harrison Clothier, of Skagit, and
Samuel Bass, of Whatcom, want to be
treasurer, and II. w. Starr, of Douglas,
attorney general.
The improbability of Democratic sue
cess has dampened the ardor of the
candidates, and so no one has yet APP
piled for the empty glory of running
for secretary of state, auditor, commits
sioner of public lands or state printer.
For the last mentioned place +. j.
Parker, of Walla Walla, is spoken of;
for auditor, John Miller Murphy, of
Thurston, and for superintendent of
schools, j. ii. Morgan, of Kittitas. l..
II. Plattor, of Spokane, and f. ID. Ar
mold, of Chehalis, will be put forward
for presidential electors.

A Treaoherous Act

NIAGARA FALLS, Aug. 23-One of
the most treacherous acts yet COM
mitted by the strikers or their sympa-
thizers took place last night. A loaded
freight train was pulling out, bound for
Buffalo, when the switch just east OF
Lewiston was thrown. AS soon as the
gate man saw the train coming he
made hurried effort to open the gate,
sut before he could do so the cars
dashed into it and he was struck and
had two ribs broken, one hand hurt
and was otherwise injured. The col
lision Of the train with the gate might
have resulted in its precipitation of
of the bridge.

from the 81. LOUIS hepuDuc.
Judge Macfarlane arrived at a
late hour last night on a belated
train. He was accompanied by a
portion of the delegation from his
county of Audrain, and despite the
lateness of the hour his headquar-
tiers at the. Laclede were thrown
open, and many friends and ac-
quaintances were received. Mr..
George Robertson of Mexico, chair
man of the delegation, and Colonel
R. M. White, editor of the Mexico
LEDGER, did the honors. Colonel
White said in reply to inquiries:
"Judge Macfarlane's canvass is
in splendid shape. He appears to
be a general favorite, is involved in
no controversies and has a solid sup
port. But we want the delegates to
understand that, in the course of
their discussions, they must not tor
get that Judge Macfarlane is a can
didate and that their votes are ex-
pected at the proper time. In or.
der that they may have the Judge
continually on their minds we will
have here tomorrow morning dele
CATION of prominent citizens of Mex
leo who are DESTROYS of furthering
Judge Macfarlane's interests. The
list will include Ex-Governor Chas.
III. Hardin, Hon. w. H. KEENAN,,

well known throughout the State.

for the double purpose of assisting

The judicial Convention.
From the st. Louis Republic.

Much discussion was INDUCED in
last night over the alleged combina-
tons between the friends of six candi-
dates, but, as a matter of fact, an
actual combination in almost any di-
rection is impossible. The estates"
however, entertained the crowds and
gave them food for conversation. One
of the rumored states was that of
Sherwood, Madill and Maefarlane,
as against Hall, Thomas and Mac
farlane. The appearance of the
name of Judge Macfarlane upon
both of the street states was accept
ed by his friends as a sure indica-
ton that everybody is for him and
that his nomination. is certain. Judge
Macfarlane's headquarters were well
filled at all hours, and cigars and ice
water were plentiful. The Judges
friends are very confident of his sue
cess. In fact, the friends of all the
other candidates appear to concede
his nomination. He is on good
terms with everybody, no one is
fighting him and he is fighting no
one. The Judge is a quiet, almost
diffident man, but readily impresses
the visitor as a man of force and
strong character.

MEXICO did herself proud on the
Fourth. There were thousands of
visitors in town from throughout
the surrounding country to help us
celebrate. Every town and hamlet
in the county sent delegations.
From early morn until late at night
the streets were thronged with peo-
pie. The exercises of the day were
all that could be expected and no
one went away displeased. Mexico
always redeems her promises. The
different benevolent societies, under
whose auspices the celebration was
given, are to be heartily congratu-
lated on the success achieved. 1t is
understood that henceforth these So
cieties will take the lead in celebrat-
ing the Fourth. If they do, we
may expect every year as grand a
celebration as we had this.

An Acceptable Public Servant.

w notice that several of our ex-
changes, which are favoring other
for encouragement, are
making their fight upon General
Wood on the ground that he is a
for reelection. They as
sert that it has been accepted as an
unwritten law in Missouri that this
office is a one term Office and that
the men who have aspired to a sec
ond term have in every instance
been defeated. 1t is true that Gen.
Mcintyre and Gen. Boone were both
defeated for a second term but the
papers opposing Gen. Wood no.
where show that the cause of their
defeat was the attempt to become
their own successors. Gen. Wood
has made a most efficient and ac-
ceptable public servant, discharging
Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-07-07
Gen. John M. Wood.

all the duties of his responsible po-
sition well and faithfully, measur-
ing up in every respect to public ex-
pectation and becoming more pop
ular with the people the longer he
remained in office, and unless some
objection stronger and better than a
second term, which the constitution
nowhere prohibits, can be brought
against him it will, we think, be diff
cult to defeat him for the nomination.
That Gen. Wood is an energetic,
painstaking and,,conseientious public
official no one has or can deny, and
that a combination of circumstances
has forced upon him much more
work that usually falls to the lot of an
Attorney-General, even his most ac-
tive opponents are compelled to &C
knowledge. That this work has been
most satisfactorily performed is at
tested by the encomiums that have
been passed upon it by both the
press and the people and this fact in
conjunction with others will go far
to convince the more thoughtful OF
the wisdom of the authors of our
constitution who were careful not to
incorporate into the organic law Of
the State any section forbidding an
efficient and experienced attorney
general from becoming his own sue
cessor. Until the law can be
changed, if it is wrong, or at least
until others than the friends of the
opposing candidates find some rea-
son to condemn it, it should not be
used to the disadvantage of an hon
orable aspirant whose candidacy for
reelection in no way violates its
provisions.

From the Glagow Missourian.

1t is rather singular that those
gentlemen who now desire to super
sede Attorney-Genera John M.
Wood are so opposed to his ~re-elec-
ton, were, in 1888, favoring a sec
ond term for the Attorney-General
ship. This is a case where ''the
sauce for the goose" is not sauce for
the gander. We reprint from the
Plattsburg J:.fersonian what we con-
slider a just review of Gen. John M.
Wood and a portion of his work
since he has been in Office:
"Attorney-Genera JohnM. Wood,
of Clark county, candidate for re-
election, is in the city to-day. He
has been remarkably successful
since he has been in the office. With
in the last ten days he has gained
two very important cases, viz: State
ex rel Houser VS.. Oliver in the St.
Louis Court of Appeals and State
VS.. E. T. holland by the Supreme
Court. The former is the first judi
cial construction of Section 1920 of
the revised statutes regarding crimi-
nal costs and will have the effect of
saving thousands of dollars annual
ly to the taxpayers of the State.
The latter sends Missouri's default
ing Treasurer to the penitentiary.
General Wood also won acase in the
United States Supreme Court where
by the express companies are COM
PEELED to pay into the State Treasury
large amounts as taxes each year.
His remarkable application to the
business of the Office has enabled
him to clear the criminal docket of
the Supreme Court thereby render
ing the administration of justice more
expeditions. The people Of the State
can make no mistake by endorsing
the present Attorney-Genera by Civ
ing him a second term.

Caldwell county, formally announces
Judge James Cowgirl for Railroad
Commissioner. He is at present
the member of the House of Rep
resentative for Caldwell county, and
he is one of the ablest and strongest
leaders of the Thirty-sixth general
assembly. Judge Cowgirl is thor
oughly familiar with the railroad
business, and is in every way fitted
to be a Railroad Commissioner. He
is a strong candidate and is con-
fident of his nomination.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1892-07-07
Frun the Hamilton News Graphic.

We take pleasure II announcing
in this issue OF the NeaUs Graphic
the candidacy of the Hon. James
Cowgirl, of this county, for the office
of Railroad Commissioner, subject
to the Democratic State Nominating
Convention.
Judge Cowgill's life has been that
of a farmer and stock raiser, in
which he has been remarkably sue
cessful. The town of Cowgirl, the
Judges home, sixteen miles south
east of this city, on the Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul 4. r., was
named in his honor and it is n OF
the most flourishing young cities In
this part of the state. Judge Cow
gill owns a fine farm adjoining the
town, which he operates and keeps
in the highest state of cultivation.
He is not only a successful farmer
and stock dealer, but he is also a
successful business man, as every
enterprise he has taken hold OF has
proven. He thoroughly understands
the need of the farmer, the stock
shipper, the business man and
the people and is therefore compe-
tent and willing to look after their
interests.
In 1882 he was elected Presiding
Judge of the County Court of Cald-
well county, overcoming a Republi-
can majority of nearly $50. He dis
charged the duties of hat office with
fidelity, rejecting credit upon him.
self and giving entire satisfaction to
his constituents.
In 1890 the Democracy of Cald-
well county inconvention assembled
honored him by placing his name
at the head of the ticket as the
Representative of the county in the
Seth general assembly, which action
was ratified by the people at the
ensuing election, Notwithstanding
there were two other tickets in the
field, the Peoples party and the Re-
publican, the latter having a major
ity of over 800 in the county. He
was the first Democrat elected to the
office of Representative in twelve
years tromthis county and he is now
filling that position faithfully and
intelligently.
In all his intercourse with his fell
low men he has evinced honesty and
competency, and that fair consider
alton of the rights of others that has
won for him warm friends. He has
none Of that egotistical admiration
of self which SO often characterizes
the office seeker, and is not thereby
pulled up, but on the contrary real
ICES that he is still on earth, and
that others have rights that intelli-
gent gentlemen are bound to respect
and recognize.
Judge Cowgirl is a pleasant, affa-
BILE and courteous gentleman, pos
sessing good judgment, a fine dis.
elimination between right and
wrong and strength of character to
choose the right and eschew the
wrong.
If the Democracy of the state
should honor him with the nomina-
ton for the important office of Rail
road Commissioner, they will have
no cause to regret it, for he will dis
charge the duties of the office faith
fully and to the best interests of the
whole people.
The Democracy of Caldwell coun-
ty will feel complimented by such
action of the convention and earn
estly hope that they may be thus
favored.
