The Texas Democrat who cannot
vote for CulbersOn, will not vote for
Kirby. and does not want TO remain
away from the polls, as he will cast
his electoral vote against Bryan, is
lonesome this year. He will have the
satisfaction Of helping to turn Culber-
son down and destroying the Hogg
regime if he pockets his feelings and
votes the Kerbey ticket.

Augusta, Ga, Sept. pa special
to the Chronicle from Sparta, Ga,

on his way from his store shortly af-
ter dark. The assassin stepped from
II dark alley in the principal part of
the town and fired five shots into his
victims back, killing him Christianity
The murdeder made his escape. He
is supposed to be the brother of ne
gro now in jail for attempting the

There is n constant and ever grow
ing feeling among the sound money
people of the Democratic persua-
sion that vote for Palmer and Buck
ner is only best in those states where
n strong movement for that ticket
is likely to succeed against the Bryan
ticket. such as in Missouri and in Ken
lucky. 1t is equally certain that in
other states where that vote will not
offset the free silver detection from the
Democratic party there will be no
push made for Palmer and Buckner
votes. In those states the Mckinley
vote will be very greatly augmented
by the ballots of the sound money
Democrats. The fact is growing
more and more apparent that the
sound money Democrats of the cOun-
try really wish the election of Mckin-
lev and that the nomination of Pal
mer and Buckner was not to peril
the chances of the Republican candt-
date. but to aid that candidacy i'll ev-
cry way while at the same time Gre
ating Il true Democratic party in the
states to form the rallying point of
the real Democracy when the Bryan
foolishness shall go to pieces in the
coming election.

The Texas wood is full of good,
strong, wide-awake, patriotic progress
sive young Democrats who are ev-
erything but in the name Republic
can. These men are native south
erners. The development and pro
gers of the south are very dear TO
them. They see that this is only
possible along the Republican lines
of a high protective tariff and sound
money. but being southern born they
canot take kindly to the party that in
the south has been dominated by the
colored element of the party for more
than Il score of years. Heretofore
this feeling and prejudice of race
has kept them alOof from the Re-
publican party, and they have cOntin-
ued to vote the Democratic principles
while repudiating its platforms. The
present situation has driven thOus-
ands of them to the support of the
Republican national ticket, and they
will be found in the future working
more or less heartily with the Repub-
lican party as that party is more or
less dominated by negro control in
its conventions. This is the situa-
ton. and it is a pointer for the guild
ance of Republican councils.

1t is a curious combination at Chi

ventions are always curious. The gold
men make rousing addresses and talk
about the gold standard being the
standard OF Jefferson and Jackson and
the "time honored principle" of Dem
Ocracy that must never be changed
Then the silver men make ringing
speeches and declare that free silver
was the teaching of Jefferson and
Jackson, and is the "principle of ouI
fathers" and must be restored, etc. II

WILMINGTON, June 29.-In the Will
mingtOn Messenger Of Sunday, the
18th Of June, there appeared very
abusive scfeed against Senator Butler,
written by q cowardly scribbler, who
it::seems, was afraid to sign his name to
his stuff. 1t is only noticeable by
reason of its containing q mean,
sneaking fling, which should be re-
sented by the right minded and hon.
Orable citizens of Wilmington. t
seems that an ice dealer in this city
claimed that he had . small bill Of
about six dollars against Mr.. Butler
for ice, and that he had frequently sent
the bill to him without receiving pay
ment. OF course, every one under
stands that it was simply one of these
little matters that are often overlooked
by very busy man who are engrOssed
with many and important affairs.
When Senator Butler came To Will
mington last Friday To make silver
speech, this ice man, il lie had been
very anxious for his money, tight have
seen him or sent messenger To him
calling his attention TO the matter
and gotten his money, but instead Oi
having the decency to do this, and
doubtless insti2ated by certain malix-
nant and subscriptions machine Dem
Ocrats, he took advantage of the DC.
casiOn, went to the Justice OF the
Peace, got out q warrant, and had Sen.
atOr Butler sighted to appear fol
Judgment. OF course Senator Butler
did not appear before the Magistrate
but the bill was promptly paid Al
soon as his attention was called te
it, just as it would have been withou,
this act of inhOspitality and unspeak
able meanness. But the purposes o.
this ice man and those of his kint
have been accomplished. They hat
obtained chance to publish what they
thought would be q scandal on Sena
tor Butler, and SO on the very mex
morning we find this mean and ma
: lev0ient publication. 1t is surprisin,
that any reputable newspaper SHOULD
stOOp to lend its columns to such con
temptible proceeding, and there i
