How a Young High Roller Avoided
Arrest in Buffalo.


Buffalo, N Y, Oct. 9.-Henry c. Fritcher-
alias Henry Clark, who says his father is a
director of the Santa Fe Railway, living
in Los Angeles, Cal. was arrested here
yesterday on the charge of forging a small
check on clothing firm here. Subsequently
he was released, the firm declining to
prosecute him on account of his respectable
connections.
Fritchcr came here September &c with
seventeen year-old girl, named Alice
Price, and registered at the Iroquois Hotel
as man and wife. Application for payment
of their board bill few days ago wa fol-
lowed by the disappearance of Fritcher
and the subsequent confession of Miss Price
that they had not been married, but had
eloped from Oherlin, Ohio. over a mCnth
ago with the intention of getting married,
but he had put it off on various excuses.
Fritcher returned to the hotel Tuesday
and told the hotel people that he had gone
to Niagara Falls with the intention of end
ing his life, but that his courage had failed
him. He was told that the only way to
avoid arrest was to marry Miss Price. He
consented; telephone was sent to Mayor
Jewett; the case explained, and he came to
the hotel at midnight and married the
couple.
An aunt of Mrs. Fritcher arrived this
morning and took her back to Oberlin.
| Fritchcr lived high here, and is said to
be eindebted tomany business men and others
in various small amounts His father in
Los Angeles has refused to come TO his aid,
! in explanation OF which Fritcher says he
was once arres,ed at hcme, disgracing his
family

teehan Frank Campbell, who has ,ust
r"frrne from tlhany and "a consult ron
with Senator Hill, was asked as to the
position OF The senator generally in tue
canvass. Mr.. CampbeIll said:
senator Hill has been and will con-
tinue 10 he o! aid to those in charge nf
the state clrnpaigu. because of his interest
in the success OF the Democratic party in
the State and Union.
He IS not in sympathy with those Demo
Gratis who you'd defeat the ticket because
the platform is in Some respects unsatis-
factory to them. He feels that the po-
sition taken by hin at Chicago makes it
impossible for him to serve his party
effectively in this campaign by any other
course than that SO far pursued by him."
This interview confirms Chairman Dam
forth's statement earlier yesterday that
Senator Hill would not take any active part
in the campaign.

shire is that his virtuous soul is agonized
over the defeat of a populist like Kolb,
who has so many or so few principles
that no intelligent patriot could say what
is his belief. With Chandler it is not a
question of what Kolb or the popullsts
believe. They might believe that the
government should run railroads, tele-
graphs, monographs, cathode rays or
wheelbarrows. They might demand a
currency of mulberry leaves and hold
that the moon is made of green cheese.
All that Chandler wants is a row among
white voters at the south. He wants a
split so as to let the eolored voter get on
top. 1t is possible that the republicans,
with the aid of the populists, will send
down junketing expedition to Alabama
upon such FOOLS errand, but If it should
do SO we feel confident that no decent
body of men would unseat Senator Nor
gan to give place to Warren Reese, who
we venture to say never read the consti-
tuition in all his life

SOME OF THE FRUITS.

The returns from Morgan county DEM
onstrate the wisdom of the action of the
state democratic executive committee in
opening the doors of the democratic par
ty. In that county last Saturday 1856
votes were polled in the primary election.
That was at least 600 more than it was
expected by those who thought the invi-
tation by the committee to return to the
party had fallen upon deaf ears. 1t is
safe to say that 500 men took part in the
Morgan county primaries who under the
call of the committee had it been the
same s the call Of two years ago, would
not have taken part in the primary and
would have been free to vote against The
nominee in August.
The action of the committee then has,
in our Judgment, reclaimed 500 white men
to the democracy in Morgan county, and
if this average is kept up, and we think it
will be, the result will be the reclaimng
of $4,000 white men to the party in this
state, just about the number needed to
put the party back where it was when
the Advertisers intolerant policy began
to have it's baneful effects in 1890.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS,
Nice Trip Via the Southern Railway to Rich

The sixth annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans will be held at
Rlchmond, Va, June 80, July l and 2.
1896, and the Southern has ANNOUNCED
the very satisfactory rate of 1 cent per
mile travelled.
1t is expected that this will be the
largest reunion ever held by the veterans.
and to this end the Southern will lend
every effort. The Southern operates two
trains daily from Birmingham to Rich
mond, with schedule of about twenty
hve hours between these points. I will
take pleasure in comforting with persons
desiring to arrange for special equipment

INVESTIGATION.

OF course the elections in Alabama are
to be investigated. The republican party
would have nothing to do in congress
just now unless it unseated democrats
and Investigated southern elections. But
why do they corfine their attention to
Alabama? Why not throw a cast-net
over all the southern states? And while
they are in the business why not investi-
gate the elections in the great northern
cities, where there are ten cases of fraud
to one at the south? One of the amusing
features of this performances on the part
of the notorious Chandler Of New Hamp-

DOUBLE STANDARD SAFEST.

The bimetallic or double standard in
sures "a safer and more stable currency
than the single standard.
A river of two sources is less liable to
dry up during drought than one Of one
source.
In like manner, currency of both gold
and silver as standard primary money is
less liable to fail from want of adequate
supply, or to be cornered in times of
panic, than one of only one metal.
With the double standard, if gold grows
scarce or is cornered, the debtor can pay
In silver; if silver grows scarce or is corr
nered, he can pay in gold.
The free coinage of both gold and silver
as primary money would indeed insure
us sound money, honest money, safe
money.

"Col. Samuel VIII John is announced
for democra tic nomination as one of the
representatives of jefferson county in the
general assembly. Colonel John Is an
able man, an interchangeable worker and
generally successful in all he undertakes.
The Register cannot always commend his
measures, but admires the aggressiveness

them. Mobile county democrats should
initiate those of Jefferson and send rep
resentatives who will be able to impress
their personality upon the assembly and
obtain such legislation as the interests of

AS II is, the expected has happened.
There is talk of frauds by Captain john

little stock In, as it pays but little attsn-

play is the most that reasonable men ex-
pect, and this was probably had in both
counties.

The claim that the populite leaders

JonNsToN's NoMiN AgJoN CERTAIN.

In 1894 it was a tie between Oates and
Johnston in Morgan county, each getting
four votes in the convention. but this
time Johnston carried sixteen out of the
nineteen beats, and would have carried
two others but for the interference of a
railroad. Johnston only liked seventeen
votes of the nomination in 1894. The gain
of four votes in Morgan. by such an over
whelming vote, shows conclusively that
all the north Alabama counties carried
by Oates in 1894 will go for Johnston this
time. IT would only take two or three of
them TO make the other thirteen votes
which would nominate him. Then look
at the counties in middle and south Ala
bama, lost to him last time, which will
go for him this time. Can any one now
doubt that Johnston will be nominated
by an overwhelming majority2
