MESSAGES OF ALL PRESIDENTS.
n CompendfOus Compilation of Inn
Portant State Papers.

Volume Of Representative James ID,
Richardson's Compilation Of Messages and
Papers of the Pre- idents is now on the
presses at the government printing office.
and Will be delivered to the public in about
ten days. The first volume covers four
teen Congresses, or twenty-eight years OF
our earliest history. The second volume
though it contains about fifty pages more
than volume l, covers only sixteen years
1t includes eight years of Monroe, four of
John Quincy Adams and four OF jackson.
The period is an important one in the his
tory of the county. The student of public
affairs will find much to entertain him in
this volume. 1t contains Mr.. Monroe's mes
sage which first laid down the purely
American idea, or sentiment, universally
known the Monroe doctrine. IL il con-
tained nothing else this would give it pc
culiar value. Mr.. Richa rdson had this
message set up from the original manu-
script signed by Mr.. Monroe, now i'm the
archives of the House of Representatives
The re Will also oe found Jackson's famous
message of July 10, 1SS2, vetoing the bill
recharterins the United States Bank. and
his still more famous proclamation of DE
cember TO- 1872, on the subject of the nulli-
fication by the state of South Carolina OF
certain acts of Congress, and also his spe-
cial message to Congress of January l6,
lSs3, on the same subject.
In addition to the steel portraits of Mon
rec, John Quincy Adams and jackson,
there is also an engraving of the building
occupied by the Treasury Department.
This volume like the first one, as only
supplied TO persons designated TO receive
it by Senators and members of Congress.
1t is announced by Mr. Richardson that
the remaining volumes are TO follow in
rapid succession, as he has prepared the
matter for the printer almost down to this

The republicans are polling a tremendous

pGohcans are expecting big vote here, as
the farmers from the remote districts are
sure to come out. Moreover in no recent
election has so great an interest been
taken as IN that of today, and 1t is esti-
mated that Brattleboro will give a repubIi-
can majority of 1000.

More than 500 votes had been recorded at
noon today against a total vote of 764 in
the election of 1892. The weather has
something to do with this but the sbarn
contest between the A.P.A candidate for

BATEMAN REPUDIATED
Populists Do Not Like the Antics of th,
Maine Man.
Senator Allen Recognized as thu
Bryan and Watson.

The opinions and gyrations of Populist
Bateman of Maine are becoming distaste-
full to the managers of national populist
headquarters here, and it is likely that
sooner or later means will be taken to
squelch Mr. Bateman If he keeps up his
methods. He is looked upon as disturber
and as man who is doing more harm
than can be easily repaired. Bateman's s
arguments about Senator Allen not being
the chairman of the notification committee
have been kept track of by the populist
managers.
Whatever Mr.. Bateman thinks, 1t Is the
official determination of the national popu-
list managers that Senator Allen is the
chairman of the notification committee and
that he will perform the act which is
worrying Mr.. Bateman and other populists.
Any one else who attempts the notification
will get the cold shoulder.
Secretary Edgerton Of the populist ma
t1onal committee was asked today if his
minutes of the ST. Louis convention showed
who had been selected as the chairman of
the committee.
Il have no record of the matter" he
said, but it was taken for granted that
our party would follow the precedents of
all the other parties. 1t is we'll known that
the permanent chairman of national con-
Fentlon becomes the chairman of the COM
mittee which notifies the presidential nomi-
nee. The temporary chairman is the chair
man of the committee which notifies the
vice presidential nominee. Senator Allen
will notify Mr.. Bryan and Senator Butler
will notify Mr.. Watson
The time for the notifications has not
been decided upon. The events will prob
ably take place about the time mentioned
In The Star, the 18th of this month. Can
didate Bryan will arrive at Lincoln about
the Sth or 9th. and is expected to remain
there about a week. The notification will
be made by letter while he is at Lincoln.
Watson will get his notification about the
same time.

Senator Dubois, Congressman Wilson, ],
Fl. Hawley, a prominent democrat, and S.
H. Hays. ex-chairman Of the democratic
state committee, have gone to Pocatello to
meet Mr.. Johnson of Kansas, member Of
the democratic national committee, who
was sent to Idaho to arrange complete
union Of the silver forces. The conference
will have most important political bear
Ing. Democratic and populist leaders here
are angry over Dubois appointment by
Chairman Jones as a member Of the ad-
Visory board, and declare that the demo-
cratic populist fusion ticket will not, as
desired by the national committee, be haul
ed down to give place to the combination
ticket put up by silver republicans.
The national committee, it is claimed by
the Dubois men here, will recognize the
silver republican ticket to the exclusion
of all others.
George Ainslie. Idaho's member of the
national democratic committee, was
asked by wire by johnson to meet him In

deliberate judgment that by nominating a
third ticket they will best serve Mckinley.
If they thought otherwise they would in
dorse Mckinley directly. This is thorough
ly understood by Mckinleys managers
and they are, therefore, not making any
effort to secure ana Endorsement, but ac-
quiesce in the judgment Of their indirect
allies. There Is no general belief among
the delegates that they are going to carry a
single state for the ticket nominated here.
They even think that the vote the ticket
will get will seem ridiculously small, be-
cause of the many democratic votes cast
directly for Mckinley. They are not dis
turbed by this, but on the contrary, hope
that their ticket will not get a single vote
that Is not taken from Bryan. There Is no
pride about the matter. 1t is purely busi-

EXECUTION AT PITTSBURG.
Joseph OrOSz Hanged for the Murder
of His Sweetheart

P1TTSBURG. Pa, September 1-Joseph
orosz was hanged in the county jail yard
at 1O1S O'Clock this morning Death was
due to strangulation.
ihe crime for which Joseph Orosz was
harged today was the murder of his
sweetheart, Teresa Bobak, who had reject
ed him after promising to be his wife. The
killing took place on January s last in a
Greenfield boarding house. Orosz, who was
intoxicated. called on the young woman and
asked her If she still refused to marry him.
Upon her answering that she had not
changed her mind. he drew a revolver and

the left breast, but the wound was not

He was convicted On February 1s and
sentenced to be hanged on June 80, but
was Gfterward respited. After the signing
OF his death warrant he became reconciled
to his doom. and said he preferred death

to nominate him, no matter what objec-
tions are raised. Those who want this
done argue that Cleveland would carry
more states than would Bryan, and even
though they could not expect his election
they think this would place him in even a
more lofty position than he now occupies
in the public mind
Cleveland's friends answer this with the
declaration that Mr.. Cleveland is opposed
to a third term. They say that even before
1t was known that the Chicago convention
was to be controlled by the silveritas. the
President was decidedly opposed to the
third term and had fully made up his mind
not to accept the nomination. He refrained
from speaking because he did not want to
discourage any efforts to capture the con-
vention for gold. This being true, they do
not think 1T ought to be expected of him
that he should accept this nomination. His
intimates do not think the occasion de-
mands the sacrifice of him since some
other can do well enough, if not as well, as
he would. They say he will give the cause
all the assistance in his power and can
serve perhaps better not being the candi-
date.
1t Is said to have been decided that his
letter indorsing the movement will be de-
and then he will sound a trumpet note for
the campaign. 1t is declared that the let
ter will be a ringing one
Controller Eckels wants Villas nominated
This gives rise to the inference that Mr..
Cleveland wants the Wisconsin Senator to
head the ticket. On the other hand some
objections are raised to Villas, and a senti-
ment is being worked up, apparently with
out his knowledge. in favor of Mr.. Eckels.
This would prove as strong a nomination
as could be made. Eckels comes from the
right locality. and no word could be said
against him. The men who disagree with
him have never an unkind word to saw
against him. No one ever raises a doubt
as to his sincerity nor calls him a tool.
These considerations are being quietly
urged. and he may suddenly find himself
a candidate.
