CLEVELAND'S AXE ACTIVE
THIS TIME The HEAD or ATTOR-
NEY CLAYTON DROPS.
Wreaking Petty Vengeance the Only
Joy Left TO the Administra ion
Eckies not yet Bounced.

Washington, Oct 17.-Attorney Gen
eral Harmon to-day sent the following
telegram to Henry ID. Clayton, u. S.
Attorney for the Middle District of
Alabama at Montgomery:
For reasons appearing in our cor
respondence, the Preside1t has to-day
removed you from the office of United
States Attorney which You now hold.
You viii govern yourself accordingly.
Answer to your letter mailed to-day"
Mr.. Clayton is a candidate for Con-
gress and this telegram is the out
come of a brief correspondence be-
tween him and the Attorney General
relative to his course in view of the
well-known rule of the department
which makes such candidacy incon-
sistent with the holding of his posi-
ton of q. s. Attorney. On Oct. sth,
the Attorney General called Mr.. Clay
tons attention to the many COM
plants which had reached him and
expressed surprise that he had not
himself communicated with the de-
partment on the subject. In this am
swer Mr.. Clayton insisted that his
candidacy for Congress was not in
consistent or incompatible with his
present position.
The Attorney General in his letter
mailed to-day said:
ut hardly seems necessary to say
that this step was rendered impera-
tive by your wilful and persistent dis
regard of the settled rule and prac-
tice of the department to which / ex-
pressly called your attention in my
letter of 8th inst, but which it is fair
TO assume you knew before
This rule has been Acquiesced in,
with respect to nominations for Con-
gress by no less than three United
States Attorneys during the present
year namely: Andrew f. Fox, North
ern District of Mississippi, and Cor
nelius G. Watts, District of West Vir-
ginia, both of whom voluntarily re-
signed their offices to accept nomin-
ations for Congress, and VIM. B. Child
ers, of the District of New Mexico,
who declined to become a candidate
for office because of the rule.
Mr.. Clayton is son-in-law of SEN
ator Pugih, of Alabama.

PoU AND sTRowD IN FRANKLIN
Has Strowd Bolted his Party Saws
he win Support Pritchard

Messrs. Pou and Strowd spoke at
Keleey's Cross Roads jim Franklin
county yesterday. About two hun
dred people heard them.
A party who was present says Pou's
speech was effective in the extreme.
Mr.. Strowd made no attempt to an
swer his rejoinder. Mr.. Pou used the
recent proposition of the Democratic
committee to unite the silver forces
with powerful effect. He charged
that Mr.. Strowd had used his efforts
to defeat the proposition because he
had made a deal with gold standard
candidates which he could not violate.
Mr.. Strowd replied that the Populist
party was forced to fuse with the Re
pubhcans to save the life of the party
that they were forced to do the
seemingly inconsistent thing to pre-
serve the life of the organization. Mr..
Pou replied that whenever it became
necessary for any political party to
sell it's principles to save its life, the
hour was at hand for it to die
Strowd said Pou had run him off
his platform.
'Will you please tell" said Pou, 'If
this be the case, upon what platform
you now stand?'
Pou called on Strowd again to tell
his position with reference to Senator
Pritchard. Strowd declined for some
time, but finally said he would sup
port Pritchard as the cooperative can
didate whereupon several Populists
present declared on the spot that they
would not support Strowd. Pou read
from Pritchard's speech in which he
declared his opposition to silver He
quoted from Maj. Guthrie, who de-
nounced Pritchard as traitor to the
cause of silver. He quoted from Col.
DoclSeTy's speech who also denounced
Pritchard's position. Mr. Strowd in
his desperation declared that he no
longer wore the collar of any political
party around his neck.
He said at one of the discussions in
Johnston that he did not understand
Guthrie's position and he would not
like to tell what he thought of it.
Pou said Guthrie's course was entitled
to the admiration of men of all parties
who were faithful to their principles
The discussion yesterday was a
great victory for Democracy and an
other successful day is added to the
remarkable canvass Pou is making.
The candidates speak at YoungsviIle
Monday; at Louisburg on Tuesday at
eleven o'clock sharp; at Laurel on
Wednesday; Kfbtrells on Thursday;
Williamsboro on Friday; and Hender-
son at eleven o'clock on Saturday.

RAILROAD TREASURER SHORT

Augusta, Ga, Oct. IA shortage
of Berrien Walker, treasurer OF the
Port Royal and Augusta railroad, un-
der the recent receivership, leaked out
to-day. He is $2s,517 short and is now
in Canada or Europe.
He got leave of absence some time
ago and when he failed to report back,
suspicion was excited An inspection
of the books discovered the embezzle-
ment. Walker had a bond with the
American Surety Company for $4,000
and the receiver, who is under 100000
bond, is responsible for $1s,517. Mrs.
Walker left a day or two ago for New
York, presumably to join her husband.
Detectives are following her. The af-
fair has been kept a close secret among
the officials of the company until to-
day.

WATSON WITHDRAWs IN KANSAS
Which May Cause Embarrassment in
The Fusion of That State.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. IA special
to the Journal from Thomson, Ga,
SAYS: Thomas Il. Watson has for
warded papers to Kansas notifying the
Secretary Of State to take his name as
nominee for ce-President from the
head Of the Populist ticket The me-
eessary affidavit, in due form, authoriz-
ing the withdrawal from that ticket,
accompanied the papers. This is the
first step taken by Mr.. Watson since
his recent visit to Kansas to thwart the
efforts of the fusion there with the
Democrats The Withdrawal of Mr..
Watson's name will leave the fusionists
in delelnma. They will have to in
sert the name Of Sewall, the DemOcra-
tie nominee or leave the Vice-Presi-
dential office blank on the Populist
ticket. Watson's name will appear
only once on the official ballot in
Kansas and shat will be at the head
of the middle-of4the-road Populist
ticket.
