 LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept. s3-over 1000 members of the ma ional guard of the state of Colorado, II der the com mand of Brigadier General Brooks. are now on dn-y in this city, some of them doing guard duty at the Maid of Erin and other mines, where an at. tempted destruction of property is ap prehended, but the main body is en- eamped near the Denver and Rio Grande railroad depot.
 The streets are flied with idle men who are. excited.y discussing the situa- tion, but no violence has been done by the strikers or their sympathizers since the attacks upon the Coronado and Emmett mines early yesterday, lu which 1t is known that at least six men were killed.
 No attempt has yet been made to resume operations at any of the mines which closed in consequence of the strike, but it is believed that as many of the miners are desirous of returning to work, some of the mines will soon be reopened under the protection afforded by the presence of troops.
 All saloons are closed and Sunday quiet prevails throughout the city. Ev- cry one realizes an unratural calm of the sort that forebodes & storm, but it will not break out as long as the national guard is on the ground.
 The troops have gone into camp in Baseball park. General Brooks will not decide aRon what disposition shall bo made of his forces until after confer enoe with Sheriff Newman.
 There are many groups Of miners in the streets v'ho are quiet enough to all appearances, but they complain bitterly that the "workingmen can't get a fair show"

BRYAN AND sEWALL CLUB.
Held an Enthusiastic Weeti, Last Night
 A Big Crowd and Fine Speaking. i.

The Bryan and Sewall Club held an important meeting Monday night at the Court House. Much business was transacted and the club WAS addressed by two of tte most bril- liant speakers in the State
 The meeting was called to order by President N. T. White. The Committee on Invitation read 8 communication from Judge E igar E. Bryant, of Fort Smith, stating that be would address the club in this city at an early date.
 The Committee on Organization reported the organization of Bryan and Sewall Clubs and Sherill and Tucker.
 The following gentlemen were ap- pointed by President White as del egates to the State convention, at Little Rock today Cruesday), of Bryan and Sewall Clubs. ". H. Langford, s. B. White, Charles Trumpner, c. H. Triplett, John Lemons. w. D. Jones, W. E. Sallee, ". W. Scull, ". ?. Vance and John Temple.
 Hon. W. H. Langford was then called upon to address the club. He responded to the call and made one of the grandest appeals for free sil- yer ever heard in this city. His speech was clever, logical argu- ment, and every statement made by him was all the more convincing as he had the figures taken from the miut reports of our government and other statistics to prove his asser- tions. It was a clever, cool, busi- ness-like and convincing argument, and it went home to the heart of every man in the audience.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Lang lords address, Hon. s. M. Taylor was called upon to address the meet ing. Mir. Taylor, as an orator, needs no introduction to the people of Arkansas. He is a free silver Democrat, and is proud of it. His denuneiation of the gold bug Dem ocrats was very emphatic, and he said that every true Democrat would support the Chicago platform and vote for Bryan and Sewall.
 At the conclusion of MT. Taylor's address the meeting adjourned. The next regular meeting of the club will take place at the Court House Monday night, September 28.

FALSE CHARGE OF FRAUD.
An Arkansas Democrat shows the Falsity of Accusations Made by Chairman
 Cooper
Cooper.

r. B. Flanders, County and Pro bate Clerk of Jefferson county, Ark, who is at the Kensington Hotel, Fifth avenue and Fifteenth street, is indignant because of the charges made by Henry M. Cooper, Chair man of the Arkansas Republican State Committee, that the State was carried by the Democracy by fraud.
 Mr. Cooper sent out a statement saying that the tremendous major ity rolled up for D. W. Jones, the free silver candidate for Governor, was the result of a successful effort of the Democratic campaign mana gers to shut out Republican judges of election in many of the counties. He declared that in twenty Repub- lican counties three Democrats and not one Republican was selected to count the vote, and that many Re publicaus, fearing that their votes would be recorded for the opposi- tion, remained away from the polls.
 Mir. Flanders said this was abso- lutely false. He showed a copy of the Pine Bluff Daily GRAPHIC of September 3, in which list of the judges in twenty-five districts was published. The Republicans in every county had equal representation with the Democrats.
 Chairman Cooper" said MT. Flanders, "knew his ticket was to be hopelessly beaten, and, in order to lessen the blow of a crushing de- feat, sent to General Powell Clayton, in advance of the election, tele- gram of alarm. Cooper knows he tel-s an untruth when he says the Republicans were shut out in a sin gle district I know every man personally whose name is on the list l have shown you.
 ''The cry Of fraud from Arkansas is stereotyped. There is no more chance of crooked work at the polls in Arkansas under the Australian ballot than there IS in New York or Illinois.
 
 "The telegram from Carl Stub blefeld, Republican Commissioner of Elections in my county, published in the Herald yesterday, saying that his party had no representation whatever in any of the voting pre- cincts of Jefferson county, contains not a grain of truth. They were represented in every enc of them. The trouble is the gold-standard men don't like the shadow of com ing events. New York Journal.

COTTON rr0 CENTS.

 l. e 'slam '..sk this Moe,sug.
 The long hope of the farmer Aas at last been realized.
 The strong contention of the silverite for higher prices has at last come to pass.
 During all this long era of low prices the desire of the Southern cot ton planter and the contention of the silverite has been ten-cent cot ton.
 Ten-cent cotton is now a veritable reality, or at least a certain variety of it.
 This morning Mir. J. W. Ragland, the well known cotton buyer, paid lOB cents per pound for bale of cot ton that weighed 453 pounds.
 The cotton was grown by Thel- more Turner, q prosperous colored planter who farms near Sherrill, and the bale is what is known as the long staple Cook cotton. The staple measured 1A inches.
 This goes to show that even in these dull days of low prices and gold standard that 10-cel.t cotton is a possibility, and it ought te serve to induce our cotton planters to plant better grade of the long staple variety,
