POLITICAL SITUATION.
Reports to Both Headquarters Show Great
Change In Sentiment.

Change In Sentiment.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Chairman
Babcock had call yesterday from a
friend who had wheeled all the way
from Chicago to New York and then
to Washington. The young man is a
son of a Republican leader in Chicago
and he took an interest in the political
situation in the various states through
which he passed. He told Mr.. Babcock
that he found the Republicans united
and solid in Indiana. The same con-
ditions existed in northern Ohio, but in
the southern part of the state he found
considerable silver sentiment among
the Republicans. In Delaware and
New Jersey the Republicans said they
were sure to win. In western New
York he found a good deal of silver
talk even among Republicans. Upon
the whole he reported the outlook very
favorable.
Secretary Gardner of the National
Association of Democratic clubs has re-
ceived applications OF membership in
the national association from "a new
clubs, Virginia heading the list.
Each application, without exception,
is accompanied with the statement that
the membership includes men who have
heretofore been identified with the Re-
publican party. Some of these letters
also note slight disaffection from Demo-
cratic ranks, but say it is very much
less than the accessions. There has
been notable increase III the demand
on Democratic headquarters for itera-
ture, particularly for Mr.. Bryan's New
York and Chicago speeches.
New Jersey, Mr.. Gardner says, is ac-
lively engaged in the preliminary steps
of club organization, the showing in
Hunterdon and Hudson counties being
especially strong.
Many inquiries were received today in
relation to the st. Louis club conven.
ton, as to railroad rates, hotels, etc.
Fully 1000 clubs, it is stated, will send
full delegations to this convention.
Nebraska promises to have represented
at least 100 clubs.
Senator Butler, chairman of the Pop
ulist committee, says that he has been
receiving some very favorable reports
from different states where there have
been disagreements between the Popu-
lists and Democrats as to fusion on
electors. 1t is now believed that the
offer of the Populists in Texas to take
seven of the Is electors will be accepted.
In West Virginia the committees have
about agreed upon a division, giving
the Democrats four and the Populists
two electors. 1t is also stated that the
chances of fusion in North Carolina
have improved.
1t was stated at Populist headquarters
that they believed the Idaho fusion
would be arranged so as to give the sill
yer Republicans share of the offices
and an equal interest in the campaign,
the electors to be divided among the
three parties. The national Populist
committee, it was stated, will insist
upon this and will be joined in it by the
Democratic national committed

THEY MISSED THE CASH Safe Too Strong for
 Utah Robbers. They Had Nerve But Lacked
 Experience.
After Much Trouble They Got at the Safe of an Express Train But
 Were Baked.

OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 14.-The par ticulars of the attempted train robbery near Udntah last night show that the robbers were not experts. There were two of them.
 They boarded the train at Peterson, a small station in the heart of Weber canyon. They surprised Ehe engineer by suddenly appearing from behind the tank and covering him with a gun. They ordered the fireman to cover his head with a cotton sack which they handed him. The engineer was or dered to stop the train and told to in dicate the express car which he did. While the attention of the robbers was distracted the engineer ran away to Uintah, where Superintendent O'Neil was notified.
 Meanwhile the baggage and express cars were uncoupled by the robbers and run ahead of the train few hundred yards and both cars broken open. The robbers failed to open the safe in the express car. The railway officials say the body secured was a few mail bags, the value of their contents being unknown. Al special train in charge of Superintendent OTNeil may catch the robbers, as the latter cannot get out of the canyon except by the eastern route and all station agents have been notified and are watching

.MARICOPAlS GROWTH.
How the Population Has More Than
 Doubled in Ten Years.

1t will be of interest to many to know how the county has grown during the past ten years. During that period the population has more than doubled. The estimate of population is based on the registration returns. it being estimated that there are five in- habitanIts to one registered voter. The number of registered voters in 1886 was 1859. In the year 1890 the num- Der increased to 2,443, and in 1892 the number of registered voters was 3,214, a gain of over thousand voters in six years, which practically means an in crease of population, according to the basis of five to one, of over 5000.
 In 1894 the number of registered vot- CTS was 4,345, considerable more than double the number in 1886.
 Up to the present time the various registering officers throughout the county have turned into the county re- corder about 4,000 names. There are several officers yet to hear from and it is expected the number will reach that Of two years ago, although at that time there were many transient voters that are not here this election.
 These are the correst figures and without doubt the next two years will see a couple of thousand more names added to the great register of Mari copa county that are not there this year.

VETS IN CAMP.
The Union Legion Holding Its Annual
 Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - The Builders exchange hall was crowded this morning with delegates to the eleventh annual encampment of the Union Veteran legion of the United States, and which hes brought to the capital several thousand members of the order and their friends. After the usual welcoming exercises, National Commander George C. James of Gin cinnati delivered his annual address. He alluded to the fact that the object of the legion, which was brought into existence in Pittsburg in 1884, was the cultivation of true devotion to the American government and institutions; the preservation of friendly relations among those who fought for the safety of the Union, and the medication and perpetuation of the three great princi- pies of fraternilty charity and patriot ism. Although it is obligatory upon any oomrade to blackball any candi- date whose record as a soldier is not above suspicion and whose reputation as a citizen is not clear, yet the legion has grown from twelve encampmentS in 1886 until it has spread into almost every state in the Union, and embraces 134 encampments with total member ship of between ten and eleven thou sand.
 After the noon adjournment there was a parade of the veterans down | Pennsylvania avenue. The Ladies' Auxiliary was called to order this morning and Mrs. Melvina B. Tuxbury of Wilmington, Delaware, presided. The attendance of delegates was large, and the reports showed that the aux Hilary had made itself active during the year.

DIME NOVELS THE CAUSE.
The Sherburne Bank Robbers Were
 Two Boys.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 14.-A Rock Rapids, la, special to The Journal says: The news that the Sherburne bank robbers were none other than Lou and Hans Kelihan, well known boys in this city, fell like a thunder bolt, and their parents, who are rep utable people, are prostrated by the announcement.
 Hans, the dead one, has been away from home for years and was sup posed to be travelling with a theatrical troupe. He came home two months ago and persuaded Lou to go with him, saying he had a position for him. Printed portraits leave no doubt of the identity of the boys Lou has been considered trustworthy lad and was held in high esteem. The father. John Kelihan, and J. D. Wilson, his brother in-law, have gone Ito Blue Earth City to see. The boys left here two weeks ago to visit relatives. The crime was undoubtedly plotted here. The dead robber is believed to have been the main conspirator and the murderer of the two men in the Sherburne bank. The reading of dime novels is believed to have been the cause of the crime.

croft. From the first the officials of both the state and navy departments have refused to state where the boat was going, further than to make pub lie the official orders to her commander. These orders directed him to report on arrival at Gibraltar to Admiral Self ridge The naval officers ridicule tho idea that the Bancroft will undertaks g to force a passage through the Darda- nelles, for it would be absolutely i'm possible single handed, and even if she succeeded she would be helpless when she arrived in Constantinople It is regarded as probable that in the event of a real disturbance at Con- stantinople, the only case in which the Bancroft could be of the slightest use, Terrell would be able to bring the ship through without serious objection, but in the present aspect of Turkish af- fairs there is no reason to look for trouble.

4. Recluse Found Dead
 in His Hut.
Bloody Hatchet Tells the Story
 of the Deed.
Assassin After Committing murder Attempts to Hide the Crime
 by Arson.

IIEAVENIWORTH, Kan, Oct. 14.- Alfred Cummings, a veteran of both the Mexican and civil wars, and for merly member of Company H, Thirty-ninth Iowa infantry, who came to the soldiers nome about three years ago, but living latterly as a recluse in . hut just outside the grounds, was found dead in his squalid abode late this afternoon by William H. Stewart, a neighbor. who, happening to pass by, saw Cummings door ajar and, looking in, espied the corpse.
 Blood had been spattered about the room, and it was evident that murder had been committed. As Cummings had been seen alive within twenty-four hours, the crime must have been com mitted last night or this morning.
 An examination of the corpse re- vealed a single deep gash over the right ear, and it is inferred from the gravity of the wound that death was instantaneous. judging from the po- sition of the corpse, Cummings had probably been struck down while sit ting at table. A bloody hatchet with which ttlne deed had evidently been done, was found in the room, and scat tered about were partially burned newspapers and the like, showing that an attempt had been made to conceal the murder by arson.
 The assassin had probably fled as soon as he had started the fire, but the flames had died down before the mat tress, leading up to and under which many of the papers were found,, was ignited.
 The matter was reported to the city officials and at first they were all at sea. Then it was learned that young tramp had stopped with Cummings for several days, that the two had quar- reled and that the tramp had disap- peared. Every effort is being made i to find this tramp.
 | It was at first thought that Cum mings had nothing worth stealing and that revenge must have been the mo- tive for the murder, but Mayor Hook said tonight that Cummings had been 1 a plasterer here for fifteen years and had between $2,OO0 and s3,O00 which he was afraid to trust to the banks and which he always carried with him or hid about him, but as only 25 cents
 was found on the body the inference is clear

A crowd of Republicans left here at o'clock in the large Grand Canyon bus and a great many others went tIhither en pri- vate conveyances. A delegation from Glendale and the farmers from the surrounding country gathered at the place of meeting to listen to the doc trines of Republicanism expounded by able speakers.
 Col M. H. McCord was the principal speaker and he held his hearers deeply interested in his views of the financial question. He convinced many doubt ing ones that Arizona or any other state or territory of the Union would not be benefited by free silver. but on the contrary, it would mean the ruin Of our most important enterprises.
