TO SAVE THE SENATE.
German Has Scheme TO Elect a'Democrat
from North Carolina.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Thc conference
between Senators German, Ransom, Cam
den and Harris, which took place on Mon
day, was of great importance in its bear
ing on the organization of the next Sen
ate. The fact that Senator Ransom of
North Carolina, hastencd to Washington
was explained by the fact that Senator
German sent for him to devise some
method by which at least ondof the North
Carolina senators might yet he saved to
the Democratic party.
The plan proposed by Senator German
is for the Democratic Governor of North
Carolina to call together in extra session
the old Legislature, which is Democratic
to elect a Senator to fill the uncxpircd
term of Senator Vance, now filled by Scna-
tor Jarvis The schcmers propose that
when the extra session meets, Senator Ran
som shall resign, and the Legislature elect
him for the uneXpircd term of two years
Senator Jarvis is then to he elected to
fill the uncxpired term of three months of
Senator Ransom, SO that when the rcgu-
larly elected Fusion Legislature meets in
January, it will have only one senator to
elect.
Senator German, who is dcvising the
scheme, say he has precedent in the ac-
ton of IA state Legislature some years ago
The Democratic senators claim that this
trick will keep the Senate in their posses
sion for at least two years

ragged all night and day last, north of tho
mining camp of Gold Hill, n town Of 800
Inhabitants, ID miles from here. a fierce
wind carried the fire over five miles of
dense timber in II short time. Fifty pco-
pie came into Boulder this afternoon, in
wagons from Gold Hin, mostly women
and children. They report that the bust
ness men and miners were carrying what
goods and property they could into the
mining tunnels and had abandoned hope
of saving the stores and dwellings,.

burned, except the stamp mill,and the tirc
had reached the western portion of Gold
Hill, burning the mill Of the Prussian
mine Several rancho houses were con
sumcd, this morning, two men named
Eishlcr and Seaman being BADLY burned.
At 3 p. NJ, the fire was spreading to
ward the town of Upper Rock. The gray
ity Of the case is fully appreciated here in
Boulder, and the utmost excitement pre-
walls. Ii is believed that many small
camps will be burned.
The residents of Gold Hill, who have
not yet come to Boulder. assembled on the
top of Horscfcl mountain, watching the
progress of the flames as they consume
their homcs.a The wind is blowing
furiously and drives the fire before it in
large sheets
The property loss will amount to over
81 500, OO0 and there will necessarily he
great dcstitution. Among the business
houses at Gold Hill are: Frank Body,
general merchandise and postofllce; DIR.
Trcvillian, drug store; johnson u Hawk

boots and shoes; Mrs. J. Murphy, hotel.
At 3 II fierce wind and dust storm struck
Denver from the north, filling the air SO
that it was impossible to see across the
street for n long time. Many plate glass
windows and awnings Were destroyed.
The temperature fell 20 degrees in 30
minutes. Before the storm broke dense
clouds of smoke could Dc plainly seen roll
ing up the mountains around Gold Hill.
At & p. NJ, wet snow began to fall, but
probably too late to save Gold Hill from
destruction.

ercise Of this Spartan virtue calls forth to OBJ
tain prompt and easy relief 1t is at their
very threshold in the shape of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which arrests this formid-
able disease at the outset, and acts as an ef-
fcient anodyne upon the afflicted nervous
system. Take time by the foreock il you feel
rheumatic twinges, and give them quietude
at once. Rheumatism is, reader, you may
perhaps not be aware, liable to attack the
heart. Many man and woman with a heart
thus attacked has promptly "shuffied off this
mortal coil" The Bitters is also an excellent
remedy for kidney trouble. malaria, consti-
patton, debility. neuralgia. sleeplessness and

NEGRO Vote.
ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE NORTH
A AS VIEWED BY A SOUTH
ERNER.
Republican states Should Pay More Atten-
tion to th3 Negro.
From the Charleston Neus and courie,.

MANY of the Northern States owe
their Republican majorities to their
Negro voters. The Florida Times
Union prints a. tablesof ten States in
which the Republican majorities at diff
| ferent elections have been less than
| the number of colored voters, and there
are ten such states in all. The figures
assume considerable significance when
| it is added. on the authority of the
Times Union which says it has made a
careful study of the record, that if it
had not been for the Negro vote the
| Democrats would have elected every
president since the war;" that s'if it
had not been for the Negro vote of the
North the Democrats would have elect
ed every president since 1872" and
that ''if it were not for the Negro vote
of the North there would never be any
danger of Democrats losing control of
either branch of Congress" In the
conditions stated the Democratic party
in the doubtful Northern States, and
even in some of the most stubborn Re
publican states could well affort to pay
more attention to the colored brother,
and it would appear to be good politics
for the Democratic leaders to aid the
missionary efforts of the Negro Nation
al Democratic League by all the proper
means they could command. The Re
publicans have neglected their allies
wholly in the division of spoils, as is
shown by their scant and lowly list Of
colored office-holders undrr every Re-
publican administration. Perhaps it
might be as well for the Democrats to
look after them next fall, and there
after
