CHAPTER XVI.

DE GARCIA SPEAKS HIS MIND.
At first I was taken into tho chamber
that had left, but placed in little room
opening ont of it where tho guard slept.
Here I waited awhile, bound hand and
foot and watched by two soldiers with
drawn swords. As l waited, torn by rage
and fear, heard tho noise Of hammcring
through the wall, followed by sound of
groans.
At length the suspense came to an end.
A door was opened, and two fierce Tlasca-
Ian Indians came through it and seized mo
by tho hair and ears, dragging mo thus
into my own chamber.
Poor dcvil!" heard one Of the Span
ish soldiers say as went. 'Apostato Or
no. I am sorry for him. This is bloody
work.
Then the door closed, and I was in the
place of torment. The room was darkcned,
for q cloth had been hung in front Of tho
window bars but its gloom was relieved
By certain fires that burned in braziers. 1t
was by the light Of these fires chiefly that
I saw the sight. On tho floor Of tho cham
Der weic placed three solid chairs, one OF
them empty. The other two We're filed by
nonc other than Guatcmoc, emperor OF tho
Aztecs, and by his friend and mine, the
caziquo of Tacuba. They wcro bound in
tho chairs, the burning brazicrs were
placed at their feet behind them stood q
clerk with paper and inkhorn, and around
them Indians were busy at some dreadful
task, directed to it by two Spanish soldiers.
Near the third chair stood another Span
lard, who as yet took no part in the play.
n, Az 7 Indian
lifted one Of tho brazicrs, and scizing the
naked foot of the Tacuban prince thrust
it down upon tho glowing Goals For
awhile there was silence; then the Tacuban
broke into groans. Guatcmoc turned his
head toward him and spoke, and as he
spoke I saw that his foot also was resting
in tho flames of brazicr. "Why do you
complain, friend" he said in q steady
voice, "whcn I keep silence? Am then
taking my pleasure in IA bed? Follow INC
now as always, friend, and bc silent be-
meath your sutfcringS.
Tho clerk wrote down his words, for I
heard the quill scratching on the paper,
and as hc wrote Guatrmoc turned his head
and saw me. His face was gray with pain.
Still he spoke aS a hundred times 1 had
heard him speak at council-SlOwly and
clearly. Alas are you also here, my
friend Tc,l:c?" he said. 'IhopcG that they
had spared you. See how these Spaniards
keep faith. Malinchc Sworc to treat me

Coaaciiinanic JuggIery.

One of the finest specimens o.
straight, unwarranted and unwarranti
able wrong was the act Of the Mar
tinsburg council in turning down
John Grozinger as councilman from
the Fourth Ward. His opponent, Mr..
Gottleib Wellinger, admitted he was
not a nsturalized citizen, and of course.
being an alien, was barred from hold
ing Office, although he had served two
terms prior to that. The council, af-
ter counting the ballots cast at an
election held under their orders and
proclamation. decided there was ar
election and then tra,npled right un-
der foot and swallowed their wrong by
declaring there had been no election.
Ye city fathers, see the stain on your
e%rrninel You had better be right than
be President. but you cannot afford to
defeat the express will OF the people
at the ballot box. Now, see, John
Grozinger was elected. You know
that. You do know that you paid the
commissioners and clerks Of election.
If you held no election why did you
pay theme Is money so plentiful ?
On Monday last, Gottleib Weliinger
was naturalized by Judge Faulkner.
and the FIRST rightful vote he ever cast
in this country will be cast at the COM
ing corporation election. lis pre-
vious votes and the Office he held were
contrary to law, and wrong. What a

cilmen must have. who SO far forgot

Republican League Convention

The Sixth Annual State Convention
of the State Republican League of Clubs,
for the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year and the selection of delegates to
the National Convention, which meets in
Denver, Colorado, June 26, will meet at
Fairmont, June 10, and it is important
that there should be as full a representa-
ton of the clubs of the State as possible.
Never in the history Of the country has
the incompetency of the Democratic par
ty, which rode into power under the hal
lucinations of 1892, been so marked and
impressive. The Republican party hand
ed over to Grover CLEVELAND and his
Congress of incompetents a prosperous
and happy country, and in one years
time they put out the fires in furnaces,
stopped the wheels of the mills, closed
the doors of the factory, and scattered
widespread distress and financial disas-
ter over the land.
The people who voted for a change
see their mistake, and in the emergency
turn again to the Grand Old Party for
relief. The hypocrisy of the Democratic
party now stands clearly revealed to the
country, and in the coming struggle for
the rehabilitation of the American work
ingman, the preservation of our indus
tries, and the integrity Of the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar, the
return of prosperity and plenty, the Re
publican party is called on to rise TO the
occasion. 1t has never failed in any cri
sis in the country's history, and on this
occasion its mission is Of equal grandeur
and patriotism with its past glorious
achievements.
The convention at Fairmont means
more than a coming together Of the rep
r~esentatives of the Republican clubs in
love feast. The Democratic party is
again put ON the defensive. The Repub-
lican party is armed and aggressive and
intends to force the lighting. The larger
the attendance on this meeting the great
er will be the moral effect. 1t therefore
behooves the Republicans in every dis
trict in the State TO organize and send
to the convention delegates who can give
reasonable assurance of being present.
Each club is entitled to a representation
of five delegates.
The selection of Fairmont as the place
of meeting was a happy one. The people
are warm-hearted and hospitable, and
there will be ample accommodations for
all who may attend. Those two cham
pions of Protection, Governor Mckinley
and Hon. Thomas B. Reed, have been
invited to be present, and there is every
reason to believe that they will be in at
tendance and explode the follies and fall
lacies of the Wilson bill at the very door
step of the father of that destructive, de-
mo~ralizing, un-American measure. Let
us rally and send forth the cry, No more
starvation for labor, no more European
pauper wages, no more ruin for CAPT
tai. E. P. RUcKER, President.
J. K. HALL, Secretary.

Anthony Staubly! He is the Re-
publican nominee for council in the
Second Ward, and will be elected, de-
spite the many schemes" and work
ing jobs" being done now in that
ward, whereas, heretofore there was
always the cry of mo funds" when
Mr.. Lamar desired to make improve
ments. Staubly has been in the coun
Gil before, and was always considered
a prudent, active, and watchful mem-
Der. His work then has never been
equalled by any councilman, and his
ward was properly cared for. He
OWNS property in the ward, is desery-
ing of success, and although the Dem
ocrats are deserving the other wards
and trading Matthaei off to beat him,
he will win. Let every Republican
stand by Mr.. Staubly. Remember,
Gilbert voted to unseat Grozinger.
