that amount.
Maryland: Lloyd Lowndes, Repub.

Iowa Republicans elect Drake Gov

one Senator and six Representatives.

TOO MUCH REDEMPTION
Has Made the People Of Kansas
Very, Very Tired.
And They Repudlate the Imbecile State ADJ
minlstratiOn -POpulist Gains in
This and Other States.

The unofficial election returns that
have been received from most Of the
counties in Kansas leave no room to
doubt that the people in many local
tiles are very tired of the, "redemp-
tion" they dealt themselves last year.
To summarize the result, the total
vote has fallen off, the Populist per-
centage has increased, while the Re.
publican percentage has decreased
The Populists have elected more
county officers than they did last year
or In 1893.
Reports 80 far as received indi-
cate that the vote for Chief Justice
will fall far below the aggregate vote
on county officers, and that Martin is
elected over Holiday. Martins vote
may reach 10000.
Here in Shawnee county severe blow
was dealt the Morrill, Leland crowd
by the election of r. B. Kepley, Inde.
pendent, over D. N. Burdge, Repubh-
can, for Sheriff. The Populists had no
candidate for this Office. Kepley was
Governor Lewelling's appointee on the
Board Of Public Works. Burdge's
campaign was managed by John Will
kerson, the scoundrely ex.Sheriff who
organized a gang of thugs to defend
the Douglas House of Representatives
In 1898.
In this county the average Populist
vote on county officers Excluding the
vote on Sheriff) was 1870. In 1893 it
was l, $3.50 and in 1891, 1885. The aver
age Republican vote this year was 4, ,819.
In 1893 the Populists had 20 per cent.
Of the total vote of the county; this
year they have over % per cent. Of the
total. In the city of Topeka the Popu-
list gain has been from 1914 per cent.
in 1893 to 1913 per cent.
OTHER STATE ELECTIONS.
Wherever State elections were held
this year the returns show a heavy fall
ing off in the total vote, but more
largely in the Democratic vote than
any other. The Republicans, so far as
gaining offices was concerned, profited
by the stsy-at-home vote of the Demo-
Gratis, while the Populists, wherever
they made an organized effort, swelled
their total vote over all previous years.
The following is the result In other
States as far as can be obtained with.

WASHINGTON, November 9.It may
not be q direct result Of the recent elec-
tion, but at any rate President Cleve-
land has taken cognizsnce Of the third
term talk. 1t is now given out quite
definitely that he told q member Of the
Cabinet that he will not permit his
name to be considered In connection
with the nomination next year. The
expression came about through q con-
versstion started by the member Of the
Cabinet regarding party plans next
year. In what this Secretary said there
was an intimstion of q desire to know
the Presidents personal intentions,
Mr.. Cleveland responded promptly and
plainly. He gave the Secretary to
understand that his mind was fully
made up and that If the third term
movement progressed beyond talk he
would stop 1t.
With another member of the Cabinet
the President has gone still further in
declaration Of his position on the com.
ing campaign. He not only told this
second Secretary that he was not to be
considered as a possibility, but he
added that he had no wish to exercise
any influence upon the party. He said
In about 80 many words there would
be no administration candidate for the
Presidency, and he bade this Secretary
exercise his own inclination In the
coming campaign.
Members Of the Cabinet regard these
expressions as definitely settling both
the third term movement and the
question Of administration influence
being given in any direction. They
know now that Mr.. Cleveland will not
permit his name to be considered, and
also that there will be no admlnistrs.

The Revengeful UtteranCe of an Idaho
Murderer.
1T WAS AN OLD FEUD
Paul p. Lawson, Ex-Member of the
Legislature, Kills George Watson
at Houston-News Notes of
the Northwest.

News of the killing of George Watson
by Paul p. Lawson. ex-member of the
legislature at Houston, is given in the
Challis, Idaho, Messenger. The shoot
ing, il is stated was the outgrowth OF a
long-standing fued which originated in nm
attempt by Watson and his wife to take
the little child of Mrs. Watson by former
husband from its grandparents. Lawson
interposed with shotgun and drove
Watson from the place. The men after
wards had a street fight in which lawson
came out second best, whereupon Law
sons son took several shots at Watson
without hitting him.
The Messenger tells of the killing as
follows: "On Wednesday, May 10. at
o'clock, George Watson was walking in
the public highway, unarmed, on visit
to a friend, and when in front of Mr.. Mil
ler's house. about onc-half mile below the
town of Houston, Paul Lawson was at
Mller's house with double barrel shot
gun loaded with buckshot and slugs watt
ing for Watson. AS his victim got short
distance beyond the house Lawson fired
one shot, hitting Watson in tho back,
knocking him down. Watson regained
his feet and started to run, exclaiming:
You murderous s-bP and Watson was
Just CLIMBING through fence near Dy
when Lawson discharged the remaining
shot at him, which proved fatal, Watson
dying in few moments.
Lawson stood guard over the body for
IA hours with a shotgun and would allow
no one to come near it, and while thus on
guard was heard to remark:
"'This is my meat; I'll have another
s--b in Houston if | live three days,
and other EXPLANATIONS too indecent to
put in print. At the Same time he defled
arrest.
"After the corpse had lain in the hot
sun and dust for IA hours, Lawson con-
scented, and his particular friends held n
farce autopsy over the remains. Miller
was justice. and the jury brought in a YER
dict something like this: George Wat
son came TO his death by gunshot wounds
with a shotgun held IN the hands of Paul

like this verdict for it was sent back to
the jury for revision, and the jury then
brought in this verdict: Unsuitable

locked doors"

sworn out for both Lawson and his son.
