What Mr.. Gardner Snys of the Com
ing Gathering ut st. Louis.


Ing Gathering ut st. Louis.
Secretary Lawrence Gardner of the AS
| ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs. having re-
| turned from Chicago, is busily engaged
With Assistant Secretary Mexican in COM
pleting the arrangements at this end Of
the line for the meeting of the association
at st. Louis. October 3. The representa-
tive of the association at the other end of
| the line is Fred. Snider. He Is being aided
| by the Citizens Association of ST. Louis
The convention will be held in the ia
nous convention hall, which will be gaily
decorated. The decorations and the mu-
sic nave already been arranged for. The
officers of the clubs will have their head
81 Grters in the Southern Hotel which has
rendered handsome suite of rooms. The
large store room belonging TO the hotel
on Walnut street, will be used as the bust
ness headquarters. The officers will be on
| the ground several days in advance Of the
clubs.
| The local cluos of ST. Louis, said to be
| Numerous and strong in membership, are
| aiding in the arrangements for the con-
| ventiCn. They are also arranging for a
| demonstration on Friday night before the
| convention.
Mr. Gardner says that the indications are
| that the convention will be one Of the
| largest and most enthusiasts ever held
| by the organization. the attend lnce will
| be greater from the southern and western
| states than from any other section, but
| every state is expected to be repr asented.
The central office has already registered
| about 2,OOO democratic clubs, and they are
especially numerous in the Mississippi val
ley states. number of the party leaders,
| including Messrs. Bryan and Sewall and
Senators Jones. Faulkner and Daniel, are
! expected to be present. The local clubs
Will attend to the reception of delegates
| There is an effort foot to have the
| delegates from the eastern states congre-
gate in WASHINGTON and travel on a special
| train with President Black and other Off
GERS of the organization.
Not Many Clubs in Maine.
Assistant Secretary Mexican Of the demo.
cratic congressional committee was asked
| today what had been done by the mana
gers of clubs in the way Of organizing IL
Maine up to the time of the Maine cleo
tion. I'VE had no knowledge of ovel
twelve or fifteen clubs in Maine at the
| time of the election said Mr.. Mexican
I'VE did not try to form clubs there In
view of the situation. We expect to or
| ganiZe them from now on, however and
! Maine win have go clubs before the No
vember election. The state, however. never
did take to the idea of clubs. In 1892 Il
had fewer clubs. propor:ionately, than any
state In the Union.
| IF any information is desired abou
clubs l would like to say that there ar,
some states where we can show them vi
in great shape. l believe there are close Il
a thousand cfubB in Missouri, for instance
In every middle western state we are or
ganizing them by the score"

Revised Arkansas Returns.
The revised election returns from Arkan-
sas are affording the republican managers
in Washington considerable satisfaction.
'In the election of 1904" said Chairman
Babcock. Clarke. the democratic nominee
for governor. carried the state by VIA
plurality and by majority of 24.273. Rem
mel, republican, received 26,OS5 votes, and
Barker, populist. "a, 541. According 10 the
returns SO far received, from sixty-one out
Of sixty-five counties. Jones. democrat, re-
ceived 11,C43 votes, or 3, 1854 less than Clarke
received two years ago. Remmel, the re-
publican candidate, received 26, 40, a gair
Of nearly 400 votes. while the populists los,
$1,000 votes from the vote they polled two
years ago.
1.-The significance of all this lies in ths
tumble from the heavy plurality of ovel
eighty thousand to a plurality of 81, go
or $1,000 less than two years ago, which
has taken place since the first reports OF
the recent election were given to the pub
! lie by the democratic managers, with
| view to offsetting the Vermont tidal wave
Press dispatches say the four counties ye
! to hear from will not materially change tn,
result. This is probably too optimistic
| view of the manner in which election re
turns are sometimes manipulated in Ar
| kansas. 1t would not surprise me if tn
| returns from those four counties were bel,
| back to round out Jones' magnificent vic
| tory"

victed in the Police Court of violating the
eight-hour law, was arrested last night on

assistant inspector Of buildings, charging
Mr.. Winfree with grand larceny.

lawfully appropriated to his own use the

Wallach tower, and which. it has been set
forth, is valued at 500. Mr.. Winfree was
arrested late last night, and after being de-
tanned for several hours was released on
bail
Mr.. Winfree claims that his arrest is
wholly the result Of spite work, and is very
indignant over the latest action against
him. He says that under his contract the
bell became his property when the old
building was demolished, and adds that II
is not worth more than So.

Mr.. Oscar r. HUndley Of Huntsville, Ala,
is In the city, and at republican headquar-
tiers today talked Of the political situation
in Alaba ma. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Hundley has been in public life in Ala
bama for the past ten years, having served
continuously during that time in the house
and the senate as democrat, being now
state senator. with two years longer to
serve, On the 18th Of July, in a public let
ter to Maj. Mckinley, he gave his reasons
for refusing to longer affiliate with the
democratic party, and pledged his support
to Mckinley and Hobart. On the 9TH of
this month the republicans Of the eighth
congressional district In Alabama nominal
ed Mr.. Hundley as their standard bearer
for Congress in that district Being man
Of force of character and fine political
organizer and an orator Of considerable
note. his prospects Of election are said TO
be most fattering. In reply to question
asking the situation in his district, Senator
Hundley said:
I'VE are going to win in the eighth dis
trict sure. There has already been NOM
mated populist candidate, State Senator
D. w. Day, who Is a gentleman OF very
fine character and of considerable popu,
larity. He Is running on the Bryan and
Watson ticket, and will no doubt poll the
strength Of his party. The sound money
democrats have nominated Mr.. w. w. Cal
win also pom a largesvote. The contest be-
tween Gen. Wheeler and Judge Richardson
for the free silver Bryan nomination, which
| Is now being waged In Colbert county, will
be decided on the Goth.
THE contest between these two gentlemen
| has been very bftteB indeed. and cannot
say what the result will be. The republic
can party is unitedain its support Of my

The Issues Presented.

Mr.. Hundley was asked what would be
the chief issues presented in his district
that would elicit the most interest among
the people.
"Of course the question Of free coinage OF
silver will be among The chief issues. Only
one side of that question 50 far has been
presented, and believe that after thor
orgh understanding Of the situation the
sentiment of the people down there will un-
dergo decided change. But there are 9TH
er issues which are of equally as much i'm
portance to our people as that of free sill

tons. Then, too. our people believe in the

Still They Come.

democrats who have desertedthe
anarchist ticket. Hon. d. G..
Westenhaver, one of the bright
est lawyers of the Berkeley coun-
ty bar, and a Democrat of prom
lnence, is out against Bryan and
Sewall. Mr.. Westenhaver is one
of the bright lights in the West
Virginia Bar Association.
Among the other prominent
Democrats here who repudiated
the work of the Chicago Demo-
cratic convention, are: MayorW.
I. Henshaw; ex-Mayor j. w.
McSherry; DR.. j. B. Snodgrass,
a leading physician and a life
long Democrat; F. S. Emmert
and W. W. Houseworth, promi.
pent men; H. H. Emmert, law.
yer, who was candidate for
prosecuting attorney in 1892;
James r. Thompson. leading
clothier and dry goods merchant,
who until the Chicago convention
was candidate for the nomina-
tionfor state senator on theDemo.
cratic ticket. Mr.. Thompson
thinks his whole family will bolt,
which alone means a Democratic
loss Of seven votes. Mr.. Thomp-
son has always been a power for
the Democrats and for years has
been chairman Of the county
executive committee. he at.
tended the editorial association
herelast year and made many
friends. The editor of the
TELEGRAM, being personally &C
quainted with the men mentioned
above, can voach for their high
standing in old Berkeley county.
Their bolt is a serious loss to
the Democrats.
