The Assistant Republican Ticket.

At last Messrs. Davie and Ball have
gotten out their Palmer-Buckner cleo.
toral ticket, Ehich has made its ap-
pearapce at the head of the editorial
columns of the Charleston Post It is
one man short at present, no one haV-
ing been so far determined upon to
represent the third district. The fail
ure to get the man desired in this dis
trict is what has delayed the announce
ment of the ticket. 1t is said that the
vacancy will be filed shortly. The
personnel of the ticket is, generally
considered, all that could be desired
by the Palmer Buckner men. On 1t
are men who stand high in their sew
eral communities. Here is the ticket:
At large-F. W. McMaster of Co.
lumbia, George w. Dargan Of Oar
lington.
Charleston.
Second District-Geo. B. Lake Of
Edgeield.
Fourth District-Frank Evans Of
Spartanburg.
Fifth District-A. G. Springs OF
York.
Sixth District-A. 7. Harllee OF
Marion.
Seventh District-Jas. D. Blanding
of Sumter.
Mr.. Blanding, who represents the
Seventh District on the ticket, is sec.
ond choice, as the first gentleman to
whom the doubtful honor was offered
declined with thanks.

evening A. R. Talbot, Republican
candidate for the United States Senate
and law partner Of Bryan, the Demo
cratic candidate for President, says:
II see that it is stated in the press
reports that have bolted Mr.. Bryan,
my law partner, now Democratic can
didate for President. I have always
been, and am now, Republican, but
no man has a greater admiration for
Mr.. Bryan than have. His honesty,
integrity and patriotism cannot be
questioned. I Lave not to,ted MIR.
Bryan and any statement to that ef-
feet is untrue. I wish also to add that
the statement in the press OF the coun'
try to the effect that Mr.. Bryan mis-.
stated his financial relations to the de-
funct German National bank of this
city in his New London, Conn, speech
is without foundation and untrue.
Mr.. Bryan, at the time of the failure
of that bank. was not indebted to it in
any amount whatever, and the bank
held no note bearing his signature.
The Indebtedness referred to in the
dispatches was my own personal OBJ.

This frank and manly statement OF
Mr.. Talbot sqpelches two campaign
lies, gotten up f.rthe purpose of in

Bandits Hold Ups a Train.

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. IA Union
Pacific train due here at 3:15 a. N.
was held up a short distance east Of
Uintah, near the mouth of Weber can
yon, and about eight miles from Og-
den. It is supposed that two men did
the work, but how much booty they
got is not known. The engineer, who
left the train, ran ahead to Uintah and
reported the holdup. He believes
from the conversation of the men as
they went through the train, that
they intended to blow up the express
car with dynamite A train was made
up at Ogden and dispatched to the
scene Of robbery and orders were
given to organize posse and run the
robbers down.

SOME TRUTH. AT LAST.
The Spanish General Bernal Speaks Out
Concerning Cuban Conditions.

Concerning Cuban Conditions.
KEY WEST, Fla, Oct. 1.-THE re-
turn of General Bernal to Havana on
Thursday on the government trans,
port "Vigia" from Esperanza, a port
on the northern coas. of Pinar del
Rio. where he was sent by General
Weyler to command the Spanish
forces in the recent engagements
against Antonio Maceo, together with
the structures he is said to have IN
dulged in of lack of military discip,
line on the part of the royal troops,
has caused a pro ound sensation IN
Havana. Accounts thereof received
by steamer last night state that Gener-
al Bernal has returned on sick leave
and has asked to be sent to Spain, be-
ing thoroughly disheartened over the
result of the campaign just inaugural,
ed against the insurgents in Pinar Gel
Rio. The force of his alleged utter
ances will be appreciated when 1t is
stated that they were made in the heat
of passion at being hissed upon land
ing at the Havana wharf.
The general is reported to have
turned fercely on his scoilers, calling
them towards for remaining at home
instead Of going to the front to defend
the national integrity, and saying that
Maceo had not been idle during the
last few months, marked by the mac
tivity of the Spaniards, but had lm-
proved his opportunity thoroughly to
organize his forces and intrench him
self in the most commanding posi-
tions Of the mountain fastnesses, any
attempt to dislodge him from which
with only eight or ten thousand troops
being sure to result in disastrous fail
ure and wholesale slaughter OF the
Spaniards. Maceo was really the only
one, General Bernal is alleged to have
said, who had built a formidable mill
tary trocha, his position today being
almost impregnable against any force
General Weyler could muster.
The folly of attempting to dislodge
Maceo had been, fully demonstrated.
General Bernal said, in all the recent
engagements, when from command,
lug pCSIlICuS LiC Sp@AASA S1AAoA0 " ~
picked off by sharpshooters and the
troops, lacking leaders, became de-
moralized and were slaughtered like
sheep. General Bernal, so Havana
reports state, declares that General
Weyler's plans are futile, that Maceo's
true strength is misunderstood and un-
derestimated, and that he himself has
been vilely duped.
After reaching Spain the general
said he would prefer being shot for
disobedience of orders rather than re-
turn to active duty in Cubs under the
existing military rule. Maceo forces,
he added, were well equipped, appar,
entity having plenty OF arms and am,
munition. The general also declared
that the most potent factor in the re-
cent engagements was the rebel dyna-
mite gun. Explosion Of bombs dis
charged therefrom he likened to an
eruption of Eesuvius, huge powders
being torn thereby from the noun
tain sides and scores Of mangled bodies
filing the air in every direction, eau

and forcing them TO retreat, terror

Tells . Strange Story

HAEIRA, Ga, Oct. 12.-Lucion NJ
lev turned up at his fathers home, six
miles above Eahira, in an awfu! pre-
dicament. He was gagged and his
hands were tied behind him. He was
almost daft from excitement and told
a story that rivals fairy tale IN mys-
tery. He stated that he remem.
bered nothing that has happen
ed since Tuesday night, nor does
he know where he has been,
what he has been dong or how he
was gagged and tied. He was the
agent of the Georgia Southern road at
Lake Park, also agent Of the express
company at the same place:
Last Tuesday night he left on the
night train for Hahira to visit his pa
rents. People from this city saw him
aboard the train, but saw nothing OF
him afterwards. When the train
reached Hahira the conductor stated
that he did not get off there, and when
his unexplained absence from his du-
ties became known the railroad and
express officials began an investlga-
ton, which found his affairs all right.
He is 8 married man and the son OF
James B. Miley, q prominent farmer
and millman in the Hahira district.

Gambril, the wealthy grain seecaia-
tor of Baltimore. This is an argu
ment," says the Augusta Chronicle,
from which source we get the above,
''the plain people understand, and
Maryland farmers are, like millions of
their Western brethren, SO situated as
to profoundly need rise in the price
of grain. Any financial legislation,
such as free coinage, that raises the
price of wheat will correspondingly
advance the price Of cotton. Perhaps
it would not suit some foreign and ma
tive goldbugs to see wheat at 81 % a
bushel and cotton at II cents pound,
but there would be prosperity OF a
most decided character, to the great
majority OF people, if such were the
case.
