TOOK A WRONG VIEW.

A Member Of Rev. j. aB. Thomas
Church AIIsunderstands Him.
Last Sunday evening Rev. j. b.
Thomas, in his sermon at the First Bap-
tlst church, mentioned his trip to New
Orleans, from which he had just re-
turned He told of his going out to the
T. s army barracks and seeing the
sharpshooters practice. and said that he
thought that if they got after the Coxey-
ties, they could clean them out in about
fifteen minutes.
1t seems that one member of his con-
gregation took exceptions to his re-
marks, as the following letter to him
will show:
MONDAY, May Z, 1894.
REV. J. B. THOMAs=Dear Brother:
You, IS a public leader and teacher,
know that the public mind is rapidly
crystallizing into new forms. You are
aware. also, that it behooves a leading
spirit, in making approaches to these
alIgnments. that they be not misun-
derstoOd y
In your public utterances last evening
you spoke of your recent trip to the
south, and on two occasions associated
yourself with bankers in New Orleans.
1hIS Is no phase of a crime, but when
you took occasion to speak of the Coxey
ties you told how the soldiers there were
told to shoot for the heart, and that you
were Informed that they needed only
about fifteen minutes to lay out the
Coxeyite crowd. On the whole we were
impressed that your sympathies were
with aristocracy rather than with the
poor.
We can not be like Christ but we can
be Christ like. We can be so by follow
ing his teaching and presuming on what
he would do If with us. Comment Is
unnecessary. Lazarus and the rich man,
yea. Christ's full walk on earth showed
the drift of His sympathies.
We hope your next prelude talk will
give us no doubt of your position mas
much as you have volunteered an ap-
pearance.
Your brother in church and humanity.
A B. NTH.
Rev. ]. B. Thomas was seen today by
STATE JOURNAL reporter and when
asked concerning the. affair, said:
my friend seems to have misunder-
stood me. When l went down to New
Orleans, Mr.. John r. MuIvane gave me
a letter of introduction to one of the lead
happened. In regard to the Coxey talk,
he seems to have made big mistake. 1
went out to see the United States bar
racks while in New Orleans, and in con-
versation with the captain, he told me
that his men were all trained to shoot at
the heart. told this and merely men
toned that thought it would take about
fifteen minutes to finish up the Coxeyites
if they started in to shooting"
Mr.. A. B. Smith is farmer living
south of the city. He is a mem Der of
Rev. Mr.. Thomas church and is said to
be of strong Populist convictions. Any
one that knows Rev. Mr.. Thomas, knows
devotes almost his entire time to chart
table work at the Santa Fe shops aud in
Parkdaie. He has not expressed himself |
on the COXey movement.

LAWRENCE, May 1O.-Frank w. Wright
young man of "a, died here Tuesday of
a disease that has puzzled all the local
physicians. For the last two years the
lower limbs below the knee had swollen
so that they were as large around as a

This increase in size came on gradually,
and had continued to increase. The linn bs
above this were shrunken and withered
The disease resembles that which causes
SO many deaths in tropical countries, and
it is thought the young man may have
contracted it while away about two years

The Lozves and Fishes.

A member who is on rather intimate
terms with the president and ought to
know says that within two days after the
recent election Of a Democratic congress
man in the Dayton (O.) district the presi-
dent received $50 letters of con graduation,
and every one of them contained some kind
of hint, generally pretty strong, that now
would be a good time for him to hand out
the offices lively and encourage the boys.
Several of the writers spoke of their own
services and sacrifices in the campaign and
how much they did in contributing to the
result. In short, it would appear that
there is enough disengaged talent in that
one district to I'LL all the Offices now at the
presidents disposal From Missouri also
political appeals are showering upon mem
bers and senators, though not SO much as
upon the president. 1t has been pro-
posed that all the Democratic mem
bers from that state go home in a body and
attend the state convention on the 10Th,
when, as is expected, the Cleveland and
i-Cleveland factions will tear each 9th
err in pieces unless restrained There is no
other state, certainly western state, in
which the members have been more out
spoken against the presidents financial
policy. They naturally object to any
sweeping Endorsement of him which would
by implication reflect on them, and will,
if necessary, go a unit to prevent it.
In the senate matters appear to have
worked around to the old basis-that the
tariff bill will lose three Democratic votes

ed and three Populist votes if it is stricken

PENNSYLYiNIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 7.-State
Chairman Gilkeson had received re-
turns from 90 counties at midnight,
which gave majority of $4,000 for the
State ticket. He said at the rate of in
crease shown by these counties the total
majority would exceed 100000. He
added that the Republican majority
polled in Philadelphia was 10000, and
10000 in Allegheny county.
The Republicans have elected 25 Con-
gressmen, with three districts doubtful.
The Democrats have lost four districts.
For the first time in many years, if
not, indeed, in its entire history, Phila-
delphia yesterday elected delegation
to Congress without single Democratic
Representative, and at the same time
rolled up Republican majority unpre-
cedented in this city of big majorities.
Joseph z. McCullen was defeated in
the Third district by Frederick Halter
man, the Republican nominee, by an
overwhelming majority, due to the
Democratic factionai troubles.
The Republican majority in the city
is about 10000, a great gain over all
previous records in this line.
The Republicans also elected the en-
tire Senatorial delegation, and nearly
solid delegation to the lower house at
Harrisburg.
The election passed off very quietly,
with the exception of some minor dis
orders in the Third district, and the fine
weather was favorable to a large vote.
This was brought to the polls by the
Republicans, but many Democrats me-
elected to vote.
