THE UNCONVENTIONAL NOMINEE.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.
The Congressional Convention, which
meets here, next Wednesday, has a
very responsible duty to perform. The
representatives to that convention
must not be recreant to the trust, nor
unfaithful to .he people they represent.
They must not permit man to Outride
principle, nor personal prejudice to
overstep public duty.
Upon one thing the majority of the
voters of this district are agreed. They
do not want q republican representa-
tive. They want q congressman who
will disgrace the district with a
vitiating policy no more than do they
want . protective, monOmetallistic
republican.
II the convention acts wisely on
Wednesday, next, there will be no
trouble in sending to Washington a
democratic congressman; but il preju-
dice outrides principle, and II public
favor outrides public duty. then we may
as we'll fold our arms until the repub-
licans name the next congressman, on
the twenty-seventh.
Any nomination that is not bad can
command the usual vote Of Lafayette
county. Democracy, pure and simple,
ch~aracterizes the voters of this county,
aud the word ssbolt" Is not down in
their vocabulary. They vote their
principles first, and then for men.
But the Kansas City voters are gay
coquettes. The political history of that
city Is as checkered with victories and
defeats - the rainbow is with colors.
Kansas City is SO split up with factions
that to an outsider it would seem that
among q large class of her voters prin-
ciple is thought Of. She has her
City Hall, her anti City Hall, her
Purifiers, her A. p. A., and q dozen
other kinds Of factions. With all this
the convention must tussle. It must
endeavor 10 secure harmony, IL 1t does
not cost the sacrifice Of principle.
The nominee must be q democrat
whose sentiments are in accord with
the people, and who considers a pledge
as sacred as life. Then he must be a
man who ~ command the respect OF
the entire party. He must not be q
demagogue, ward-heeler, moi the
product of the two.
The convention must be harmonious
and patriotic. ''Duty" must be its
watchword, and "victory" its battle
cry.
Let the representatives of the people
OF Jackson and Lafayette counties
meet as patriots, and not as politicians,
in the vulgar Ems of that term.
Give us . man who will command
the respect of the Kansas City factions,
and Lafayette county will give him q
rousing vote.
The INTELLIGENCER has no tavOrite,
It has NO boom to make for any man
| We shall trust to the convention to
| give US q man whom We can assist te
victory, and whose name we will b.
proud to carry at the head Of thu
ticket.
We beg Of the convention, in the
name Of democracy, honor and justice,
to deal periodically with the democ.
racy Of the district. This we believe il
will do. W. believe that politics viii
be relegated, next Wednesday, and thai
''Pstri0tism" will be the convention.

A BULLET IN THE BURE AU
New Point Developed in Nellie
Horizons Trial.

In the trial of Nellie Horton, charged with
manslaugbter, for the killing of Charles Hagan,
now going on before Judge Wallace and a
jury, one new point was developed yesterday
afternoon.
1t came out In the testimony OF Mrs. Schwartz,
the landlady OF the house where the tragedy
occurred. Since the last trial she has found
another bullet 1t was imbedded In bureau
In the room, and goes to show that there were
four shots fired instead Of three as testified to

that there were only three shots fired.

made by a bullet.

Hagan and of his promise to marry her, which
he had not kept. The witness saw Hagan at
Nelies request and he told her that he could
not afford to marry Nellie. He also thought
she would not be a good wife. because she
could not COOK. She said she was not testify

but because she wanted TO see justice done.

CALL 1T MURDER.
A Coroner's Jury Finds
Against Sweeney.
Dying Statement of the Gossoon."
He and the Elk Ball Player
Quarreled About Trifle.

Coroner's jury yesterday found Charles
Sweeney, the ex-ball-player. guilty of causing
the death of Con McManus and charged him
with murder. A minority of the jury voted in
favor of verdict OF manslaughter, but their
judgment was not approved by the Coroner.
William McManus, one of the brothers OF the
dead Gossoon. was the first witness. "King''
McManus did not appear at the inquest. The
witness testified that Con and Sweeney were
good friends until the fatal Sunday afternoon.
They intended to go to picnic together, and
went upstairs where they drank and skylarked
for time. When they returned 10 the barroom
on che lower floor they had drink, and Con
urged Sweeney not TO take the revolver with him
to the picnic, but Sweeney refused TO leave it.
Con remarked that no one but coward would
carry revolver. and this declaration nettled
Sweeney. They had lunch together few mo-
ments later and the GossoOn tainted Sweeney
about his appetite.
Sweeney finally declared that he had borne
all that he intended TO bear and drew bis re-
volver and shot McManus. The latter grabbed
Sweeney. but the athlete broke away from him
and ran out OF the saloon. The witness said
that all this was told him by his brother just
before the latter died. There were several wit
nesses present at the time.
Daniel Mccarthy, who was tending bar In the
Kings saloon at the time OF the tragedy, gave
the following account of the scene in the sa-
loon:
"Con asked Sweeney to take a drink and
Sweeney refused. They then ate lunch. Con
walked from the lunch-cOunter to the corner of
the bar. He leaned on it and invited Sweeney
to drink and Sweeney refused. Con then told
him if he didn't want TO drink he had better get
out. Sweeney then put his hand In his pocket
and drew pistol and shot Con. The two were
very close together when the shot was fired
and Sweeney was nearest 10 the door. Con
swOre when he invited Sweeney to leave the
saloon, and told him that If he didn't like the
way he was treated to get out. After Sweeney
had fired the shot Con made run for him.
Joe Mcdonald, who worked In the saloon, was
also present.
"Three shots were fired. ! don't know
whether the first shot hit McManus or not
did not know he was shot until he told me. A
crowd rushed in and he told them TO 20 out,
that no one was hurt. When the crowd went
out he took off his coat and / saw the blood on
his arm helped him to walk upstairs. 1 sent
for DIR. Leonard at his request, but could not
find him. / got two other doctors, whose names
! do not know. Con McManus had no pistol
on his person as far as l know, and did not
hear him threaten Sweeney"

THEY WILL NOT BUY.
Park Grounds Could Not Be Used for
the Cotton Palace.

The proposition from the Cotton
Palace association that the city buy
grounds for a city park and lease to
the association for the purpose of
holding q Cotton Pslace, the park
to be open throughout the year, ex-
cept thirty days, during the exibi-
ton, caused some discussion in the
council meeting last night The
committee appointed at previous
meeting made thorough investi-
CATION and in addition were advised
by the city attorney, The latter
stated that if the city purchased
grounds for public park, said
park should be open free at all
times for the accommodation Of
citizens.
Alderman Tlbbs said the com
mittee, accepting this opinion as ex-
pressing the legality of the matter,
reported adversely on the proposi.
ton, elf this is final, and we can.
not 90 behind the charter, to defer
action would be TO delay the Cotton
Palace locating committee in mat
ters of importance which demand
immediate attention. 1t would be
folly on the part of the directors TO
locate the Cotton Palace building on
city park grounds if the charter will
not allow those grounds to be closed
TO the free entrance of citizens
during any period of time. They
will have gone to an expense which
would bring in no returns. Already
threats nave been mad that If such
action as was proposed is taken in
the matter an INDUCTION will be
asked for to prevent the city clos
ing park grounds at any time to
free admission of citizens and visi-
tors to Waco. This would destroy
the revenue Of the Cotton Palace.
| would be very glad if we could
cooperate in this way with the Cot
ton Palace Association.
Alderman Herbert thought the
city ought TO purchase a site for a
public park and believed the Cotton
Palace, being public building,
could be erected thereon and closed
to free admittance at a stated period
annually, without any violation of
chartor regulations. He favored de
ferriug action.
Alderman King, who is of tht
committee appointed to Investigate,
spoke in the same strain az Alder
man Tibbs Additional investiga
ton would result in costly delay
TO the Cotton Palace project with
out a favorable result. The adverse
report was adopted
