CulCAGo, July l3-The name OF
senator Jones of Arkansas is the only
n which has so far been generally
mentioned in connection with the
office of chairman of the national
Democratic committee. The question
has, however, received comparatively
little attention from the members of
the committee and none from Mr..
Bryan, whose wishes will be consulted
in making the selection.
Mr.. organs Nebraska friends say
they have no opportunity to consult
with the candidate on this point, but
they express the opinion that Mr..
Jones would be entirely satisfactory

EDITOR JAMES II. YOUNG Of the Raj
eigh, n. @. GAZETTE created a profound
sensa ton by his demand that the Re-
publican electoral ticket be taken
down and that the Populist electoral
ticket of BRYAN and WATSON be sup
ported. In his journal of the Sth inst.
he gives strong reasons for the position
he occupies.
He shows that the Democats are in
favor of fusion with the populists and
with such a combination, there is nc
hope for the Republicans.
By combination of the Republicans
and the Populists, he declares that the
Democratic Party can be defeated.
Mr.. YOUNG is one of the most brilli-
ant politicians of color in this country
We fear he is too far ahead of the
masses. The wisdom of his plan If il
could be put into operation, is mani
fest, but thousands would not be able
to see its benefits until election day
passed and the hesitation and result
ing division in the Republican vot'
would be fatal to realization of it
success.
But Mr.. YOUNG will come again.

course adopted by that journal. 1t at

inherent principle in its insane effort
to profit thereby.
1t denominates the innocent Lunen-
burg women as murderers. And this
too in the face of the fact that it is
well-known that none OF them had
anything to do with the horrible butch
cry of Mrs. LUCY JANE POLLARD.
Nearly fourteen months have passed,
and nothing has been adduced to con-
meet them with the crime or even to
excite a reasonable suspicion.
PoKEY BARNES proved a complete
alibi, that is that she was elsewhere.
when the murder was committed. This
was true also of her mother, MARY
BARNES, now confined in the Virginia
penitentiary while MARY ALTERNATELY
is known to have left the POLLARD
house before the murder was commit
ted.

ness that is as brutal as it is uncalled

A WHITE SERVANT FOR OOLORED
INMATES.

SURPRISE is expressed on every hand
that white democratic superintend-
ent of the almshouse should have so
far forgotten the wishes of the better
class of white people and ignored the
desires of the colored, to the extent of
removing the colored matron at the
colored almshouse, whose duties were
to look after the welfare and comfort
of the colored inmates, and appoint a
white one in her place
The position was one, which all class
es recognized as being suitable only
for person of the colored race.

and coal dealer on 9Th Street, beyond

TO BAR THEM OUT.

The City Democratic Committee had
quite a stormy meeting Friday night.
7th inst. and an attempt was made TO
read the Richmond, Va. Daily TINES
out of the party, because it declined to
accept the Populist platform adopted
by the Democratic Convention at Chi
cago. The report as given out is spi-
cy. Here 1t is;
Here the committee again took up
the question of passing the bylaw. A
number of motions were made, but
notion of Mr.. Tyler laid them all on
the table. and the committee then took
up the bylaws by section When the
section referring TO the meetings of
the committee and the admission of
reporters was reached. Mr.. Pace spoke
at some length in opposition of the
holding of secret meetings, saying
that he did not think the committee
| should have it's sessions behind closed
doors He was willing to have Re-
publican paper report any part in the
proceedings which he might take. He
| said he was not now connected with
any paper, and therefore could not be
accused of being prejudiced in his
views.
And again:
Mr.. Pagan here obtained the floor,
and said that some of the best Demo-
Gratis In this town were going to vote
the Republican ticket this fall. He
asked of the chair if there was any
paper represented at that meeting that
was not democratic.

What paper is it?" inquired the
member.
"The Richmond Times 1 should say
it is not a Democratic paper, because
it says outright that it will not sup
port the nominees of the Democratic
party" continued Chairman Dawson.
Mr.. Pagan took the ground that the
Times should not be characterized as
an un-Democratic paper, because it
would not support the party's nomi-
nees. He said the committee should
not be so hard on the Times. If that
paper should do the committee any in
| Jury, he was satisfied committee
| from that body could, by calling upon
the proprietors of the Times, have any
wrongs set Alright. Mr.. Pagan was in
favor of allowing the representatives.
of the Times to attend the meetings of
the committee.
The night was hot but the discussion
was hotter still.
A brief speech was made by Mr.
Winston, who took the same view of
the matter that Mr.. Pagan did, while
Mr.. Allan dealt with the Times poll
teal policy with gloves off. He said
he thought that paper had done the
Democratic party harm, and he was
opposed to having its reporters at the
meetings. He said he thought an
enemy in camp could do more dam
age than one on the outside. "Why.
Mr. Chairman" concluded Mr.. Allan,
"I'd as soon have John MitchelPs

present permitted to publish the pro-

cratic committee, which is vehement

THE Sound Money Democrats have
decided to call a convention WedDes-
day, Sept. End, 1895 at Indianapolis to
nominate candidates for the presiden-
cy of the United States.
There is wide divergence of opin-
ion as to the effect of this. some urging
that it will aid BRYAN and SEwALL, and
others that it will injuriously effect
them
