ALEXANDER STEPHENS CLAY will
succeed Jno. B. Gordon a. United States
Senator from Georgia. He has just re-
ceived the nomination of the Demo-
cratic caucus, which is equivalent TO an
election. This in the position which
ex-Speaker Crisp and Hoke Smith had
their eyes upon when they stumped
the State together last Summer, Crisp
a. Free Silver advocate, and Smith
opposing that policy. Crisp won the
contest, and would have been Senator
had he not died few weeks since.

MIR. BUTLER is WELL SATISFIED
Believes the Outlook for Fusion Is
Good.

Washington, Oct. 16. - Senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national com
mittee returned from Chicago this morn
ing. He expressed himself as satisfied
with the result of the meeting of the pop
uist executive committee; also with the
general outlook. There are only four
states" said he, 'in which fusion has not
been rranged-Georgia, Florida, North
Carolina and Tennessee. An adjustment
will be reached in Florida and Tennessee
without doubt. Georgia will be either for
Bryan and Watson or Bryan and Sewall.
Regarding the middle-western states,
Ohio can be classed with doubtful states;
Indiana, with fusion arranged is safe for
Bryan; Illinois, Michigan and Iowa are in
the balance. 1 regard it safe to assume
that the chances are even in hose
states, that is, two of the four will 80 for
Bryan and silver. Kentucky is safe, end
West Virginia and Maryland are doubt
ful' with a chance, 1 think, strongly in
favor of Bryan in the former. In Mary
land the result will depend upon the re-
publican farmers. If there is enough
dissatisfaction among them to offset the
gold democratic detection in Baltimore,
Bryan will carry, the state. For the pop
ulation there is a greater gold democratic
detection in Baltimore, l think, than in
any other city west of New York"

element among the banks depositors,
large crowd of whom quickly gathered
about the unopened doors.

that the bank had assigned to ]. M

deposit had been asked by the bank Of

DARING ROBBERY OF THE MAILS
Kansas City Police Put G. ii. Hamil-
ton Behind the Bars.

Kansas City. Oct. ia daring cobber
of the mails was arrested here tonight by
the postal authorities, aided by the local
police. The culprit is C. II. Hamilton,
alias Wallace, and claims to have been
employed lately at Los Angeles, Cal, as
stenographer. The police authorities
say the man has been in trouble at Salt
Lake and Denver. In the latter place he
was at one time an employe of the C ty.
This evening Hamilton appeared at the
Union depot, wearing the brass buttons
and uniform of a railway mail agent. He
stepped boldly up to a truck that was
standing under the depot sheds loaded
with mail sacks and pulled down a letter
pouch, throwing it across his arm and
stepping into a waiting room there ne
placed the pouch under an overcoat that
hung upon his arm and walked out into
the street. He would have escaped but
for Frank White, follower of the turf
whom he had known in Denver and whom
he had taken into his confidence. White
quickly notified the authorities and q
short time afterwards Hamilton was ar
rested at his hotel. He had cut open the
sack and was going through the letters
which it contained when the officers broke
into his room. He had already extracted
several small sums of money.

PRINTERS WILL DO ALL WORK
LinOtypes to BE Repaired Only by
the Operators.

Colorado Springs, Co... Oct. 16.-By to-
days action the International Typograpn-
ical union, now in convention in this
city, assumed entire control over the limo
type machines, and said in substance that
no one shall be employed on these ma
chimes, either as an operator or a ma
chinist, unless he is a member of the
typographical union. Prior to today's
action the international union claimed
control only over the operators of limo
type machines, leaving the repairing of
the machines when out of order to the
linotype engineers. seeding union from
the International Association of Machin-
lists. This seeding union asked admis-
sion today into the International Typo
graphical union, but after a strong fight
was refused, thus barring its members
altogether from offices where linotype
machines are used. The work of repair
ing and taking care of the typesetting
machines will now be done only by print
ers who are members of the Typograph
ical union Thousands of printers were
thrown out of employment by the intro
duction of typesetting machines several
years ago, and today's action by the in
ternational union is aimed to create a
field of work for as many of these as
possible. A number of minor amendments
to the constitution were made.
