POpOcrats VIII Manufacture Big
Majority in Arkansas.


NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The Pepocratic
the tremendous Republican majority in Yer
mont by an equally decisive majority for
the Popocratic ticket in Arkansas to-mor-
row. They are taking assures to secure
this result. General Powell Clayton. of the
Republican national committee, yesterday
received the following telegram from Henry
NJ. Cooper, chairman of the Republican
State central committee of Arkansas:
1.-The two Democratic election commits
sioners have ignored the Republican or mi
nority commissioners in the counties of
Crttenden. Lee. Phillips, Desha Lincoln
Jefferson. Pulaski Woodruff. Garland
Hampstead, Chcot, Crawford and other
ton of their own choosing and positively
refuse to appoint judges satisfactory to the
Republicans asked for by the Republican
commissioners. Their persistent refusal to
give Republicans representation election
boards Is denounced by Republicans as Il
scheme to fraudulentIy manipulate and
count the vote in these counties for the
Democratic State ticket. great many
Republicans feel that If they go to the polls
and vote their votes will be counted for the
Democrat.
THE counties named in Mr.. Cooper's mes
sage are those containing the largest Re
publican vote, and in some of which are sit
uated the largest cities in the State said
is Little Rock: in jefferson. Pine Bluff in
Garland, Hot Springs, and in Phillips, Hell
ena.
IF they intended to be fair they would
have allowed the Republican member upon
the county boards of election commission
while the two Democratic members would
have designated the other two.

WHAT HENRY CLEws SAID.
Silver AGitatOrs Unfairly Perverted
One of His Letters.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Henry C1ews the
well-known banker and authority on finan-
cal matters, in his review of the situation
In Wall street, says:
Financial affairs at this center have
shown, during the past week. the evidences
of recovery which were foreshadowed in
my last advices. 1t has been more than
once intimated in these letters that the
great alarm of late months has been pro-
duced rather by impending possibilities as
to matters of the very gravest nature than
by decided probability that the things
feared would be actually accomplished. 1t
is true that this distinction does not war
rant the, supposition, that the, apprehen--
sion has been groundleSS; for the financial
and political revolution embodied in the
Chocago platform is so completely and to
the last degree ruinous that if the chances
of the adoption of such a programme were
only one in ten, even that measure of
possibility was sufficient to warran6 ex-
traordinary precautions by every man who
has any interests TO protect. Nevertheless,
there is this to be noted in this distinction
between the possibilities and probabilities,
that in proportion as the chances of these
evils happening diminished. the less force
would the mere possibility of the catas
trophies possess as an element of disturb
Rnce.
we have now reached pont at which
the impossibiitiy of the American people
ever sanctioning such suicidal policies
are incorpora ted in the Bryan platform is
becoming each day more emphatically evil
dent. The enormity of the proposals has so
deeply aroused the self-respect and the pa
triotism of our intelligent citizens that an
party has become a Self-evident certainty
to every one who can read the signs of
the times. or can discern the temper of
the American people. This it is which is
now working a marked change for the bet
ter in the tone of affairs in business cir
cles. The results of the Vermont election
are construed as foreshadowing the sure
reputation of free coinage by the people
at the November election. Equally the or
ganization of the National Democracy ,at
the Indianapolis convention is viewed as
booming the Populo- Democratic element to
inevitable defeat and making more certain
the election of the Republican ticket. Be-
yond these indications of the November
outcome, the general drift of information
from private and political sources is that
the silver cause is waning-a drift which
VIII become much more evident when the
National Democracy gets its forces mar
shaded and in the field.
1T may be proper TO here call attention
to a most unfair perversion. by silver agita-
tors, of language used by me in my letter
circular of May % last. in speaking OF the
attitude of the financial interests towards
the silver agitation. The part of that cir
cular has been used by the silveriteS as
representing Wall street as prepared for
a usurpation of power to coerce Congress

Attempt to Lynch Negroes at Home
stead. Pa-Bessie Little's MUIR
der Near Dayton, o.

GLENCOE Mimi, Sept 6.-The trial of
the first of the two men charged with the
murder of Sheriff Joseph Rogers resulted
yesterday in verdict of murder in the
second degree, which diu not please some
of the people of this county and a double
lynching bee resulted early this morning.
The two men lynched were Darman Mus
grove and H. A Cingmars. On June % they
had assaulted a farmer and Sheriff Rogers
and deputies went after them with war
rant the following day. They resisted ar
rest and during the alteration the sheriff
was shot and killed although they made
no offer to harm the deputies. The men
were strangers in the county and the
sheriff was popular. They were captured
without difficulty. Lynching threatened
and on the 18th of June Governor Clough
sent Company D. of ST. Paul. here to pro-
tect the prisoners. Escorted by the militia
they were taken to St. Paul and placed
in the Ramsey county Jail, when they were
brought here for trial.
Between IL and l o'clock last night
mob of masked men appeared quietly
at the Jail doors and raped for admission.
Jailer Edward Waddell opened the door to
see who was there and a demand was at
once made for the keys TO the jail. On his
refusal he was tied in his chair and the
men proceeded to batter down the doors
with a sledge hammer After breaking the
locks Of the cells they made the prisoners
dress IN spite of their pitiful requests to
be allowed to speak the two men were
ga gged and hustled away. The mob took
them to the bridge over Buffalo creek,
the road leading to the scene of the muir
der, and pizc:ng them in the same rela-
tive positions as when they committed the
murder; they swung them over the edge
of the bridge. The drop of fifteen feet
broke both their necks.
Jailer Waddell and guard Hopper were
much excited over their experience that
they could give little description of the
mob. All wore black masks. An inquest
will be held over the remains and an at
tempt made to locate the mob.
