George K. whitworth, who yesterday
fired two bullets into his own body after
killing Chancellor Allison. has been
steadily sinking al day, and il expected
TO die before morning. Further Light
WIS thrown on the cause Of the tragedy
when there was filed with the County
Register to-day . deed Of assignment,
signed by Whitworth in favor Of the
Fourth National Bank. in trust tosecurs
the payment Of y. 900 due the bank BY
Whitworth. This leaves no doubt that
whitworth was financially involved.
Allison owed him, % he claimed, about
$780, 900, and on the street the under
standing was that this obligation was
incurred by Allison in the course Of the
recent political campaign. 1t 10 further
asserted that part Of this amount Al.
liton refused to repay on legal grounds.
Whitworth was incensed that be should
have epent this money to re-elect ALI
son, and that Allison should then not
only refuse to repay, but should eject
Whitworth from his Office. Allison
failure to pay up also made it necessary
for Whitworth to make the assignment,
which Was filed this morning. Whit.
worth has said since the tragedy that he
and Allison could not breathe the came
air or live on the came earth.

A FADING PARTY.

1t is natural that Democratic Of
ce-holders and their friends
should keep up the appearance of
confidence, with the hope that the
assertions from their party will
cease, or that something will hap
pen to stem the tide of Republican
successes in the North. AS state
after state declares itself on the
political issues it is staunch
Democrat indeed who can profess
faith in his 'party's success this
year. The election in Maine Mon.
day resulted in the largest Repub-
lican majority ever given in the
state-about 81, 900, which is larger
than the entire Democratic vote,
and two and one.half times larger
than the majority of two years
ago. The Democrats had the
same candidate for governor this
year that they had two years ago,
and he received 10000 less votes
in 1894 than he did In 1892. Dem
ocracy is meeting it's deserved fate.
Any party is liable to reverses, but
the wholesale assertions from the
Democratic. party are on scale
heretofo ore unknown in American
politics.
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1894-09-21

There is this year a greater
probability Of the defeat Of the
Democratic ticket in Morrison
county than there ever has been
before. No voter can endorse the
administration of affairs during
recent years by the party that has
entire control of the county.
There is no reason why it should
cost thousands of dollars more
yearly to run Morrison county
than it does to run other counties
of about the same population and
valuation. Such huge expendi.
lures as $25, 900 a year for county
revenue purposes is far above the
necessary amount, and the men
who are responsible for it are the
county officers. The plea in the
interests Of some Of the Demo.
cratic nominees is that it is not
their individual fault. It must be
conceded that it is the fault
of some Of the gang,
and as they are all working
together for the ticket they are
doing what they can to re-elect
the men who are responsible. No
one man is to blame for
the condition, and no man who
supports the Democratic ticket can
truly claim to be friend of econ
omy and good government in
county matters. Every Demo-
cratic candidate endorses the en-
tire ticket, and the administration
of county affairs, and in doing so
assumes his share of the discredit
the public insists on placing on
the county gang. It is not a fight
against individuals, hut against an
element in county office that
is wasteful Of the peoples money.
If such servants were as fat HESS
to any employers private bust
ness interests as the county Of I
fcers are to the xpayer public
interests, 4 change il managers
would be made at once. The Sc
Letting ofcounty officers is almost
entirely business proposition,
and on a business basis it is for.
the interests Of the county to re-
tire the present officers and place
in their stead 4 set Of men who
will reduce the county expenses

Candidates Scarce.

One peculiar feature of the
Democratic campaign in the
northern states this year is the
trouble in getting party leaders to
run for important Offices. In this
state the Democrats of the St,
Paul district put up man named
Darragh for congress; no well
known Democrat would enter the
race. In Minneapolis no leader
would run for congress, and man
named Erickson is the Democratic
nominee. Now Gov. Flower of
New York has declined to be a
candidate for reelection, saying
he prefers to see some Democrat
nominated who can get more votes.
The Democratic leaders of the
north expect defeat, and they are
so careful of their own welfare
that they refuse to be sacrificed
this year. The placing Of weak
men on the ticket further reduces
the prospect for Democratic
voters. The Democratic party
will certainly suffer the most
overwhe Ginning defeat in the north
this year that it ever has. The
pledges and promises of that party in
1892 were 50 false that the people
have no faith in the party.
