ilhousands Of dollars per annum. The despondency of the friends of MT. White was as great as the joy of the Bloom forces, for they were mystefied at the result, and could only account for the defeat from the fact that many who had professed themselves as being friends of White proved traitors to him and supported Bloom after making pledges to White and his friends.
 The alliance said to have been formed between the Bloom forces and the saloon men and negroes for the purpose of electing Ferd Havis member of the City Council from the Fourth Ward, failed to effect it's purpose, for Havis was defeated by his opponent, Capt J B. Johnson, by majority of 299 votes. The vote received by Havis shows that many white men voted for him.
 Mr. Sol. Miller. for the past two years membersof the Council from the First Ward. was defeated for that position by MT. Fred Fox by a majority sf 315.
 After the result of the election be- tween the candidates for Clerk had been announced, Mir. White gave no- tice that he would ask a recount of the ballots, and today the Commis- sioners are making that count.
 1t is said that about thirty bal lots with crosses opposite the name of one of the candidates. for Glerk were thrown out and couDted Tor neither party. Many contendl that cross opposite a nameindieates that the name is crossed put and that the ballot is a1geal one.

Such was the statement made last
evening by John P. St. John, at one

principle has in years.
sixty days ago." said Mr.. St. John,
Mckinley was the most prominent
and popular man in the nation and
would have swept the country like a
whirlwind, but wonderful change has
taken place. The people have become
tired of that bugaboo, the tariff, and
have relegated it, to be succeeded by an
issue as vital as the constitution of the
government itself. They have followed
the false god of protection until the
business of the country has been par
alyzed and now see the remedy in free
silver. 1t is not the man they have
turned against, but his platform. Had
Mckinley been placed even on the old
platform of 1892. I think he would have
swept the country. On that platform I
think he would have carried my own
state of Kansas by $4,000 plurality, but
believe now that Bryan will cary it by

PULLED FOR DOG FIGHTING
A Stirring But Bloodthirsty Exhibi-
ton in Town Today.

There was a big dog fight this noon
at Arthur Massey's horse shOeing shop
on West Fifth street in which Lawyer
F. J. Lynch's brindIe bull dog was whip
ped by Arthur Massey's white bull dog
bill Mckinley"
A large crowd gathered to see the
fight, and the doors of the shop We're
closed. Police Commissioner Charles
Holiday happened to be passing, and
he notified the police that there was q
fight going on, and while he spoke, the
two dogs broke out of the shop and
started east. bill Mckinley chased
the brindle dog around the corner at
the police station.
Arthur Massey, George NaylOr, Bob
Cummings and J. p. Harris We're ar
rested for conducting a dog fight and
they put up a bond for their release
until trial this afternoon.
Both dOge were pretty badly chewed
up, but the blacksmith's dog is said to
have won the fight
Lawyer F. J. Lynch is very indignant
over the affair. He said:
I put my dog at the Orchard ken
nels while my wife and baby were
away. Some one took him UP there to
fight that dog. AS soon as I found out
about it, I went up on the street and
told an officer that if he could find out
who took my dog there I would prose-
cute to the full extent of the law 1t is
dis graceful"
Arthur Massey was seen by the re-
porter He was examining the wounds
on his dogs head. 'They started to
fight in front of my sh jp." said he and
then ran into the shop. Then I thought
they might as we'll fight it out, and so
closed the doors to keep out the crowd
Massey, Cummings and Nayior were
around the dogs when the fight was
taking place. Harris was supposed by
the police to have brought Mr.. Lynch's
dog to the shop to have the fight. These
two dogs had a fight about two weeks
ago on the corner of Fourth and Jack
son streets, and the police had to part
them.
Mr.. Massey laughs when speaking OF
it, while Mr. Lynch appears very in
dignant that his dog should have been
pitted in a deadly combat

Cleveland, Aug. Another riot oc-
Cured at the Brown Hosting works at
noon today. One man was fatally
shot. The strike there was declared in
force again today.
All the union men employed at the
Brown Hosting and Conveying works
again went on a strike this morning
and a boycott against the company is
declared. 1t is claimed that the Brown
company has failed to keep it's agree
ment in reinstating the strikers and
that a. number of new hands have been
employed since the strike was declared
off
At noon today while the non-union
men were being escorted from the
works by the police, a tremendous
crowd of strikers and their sympa-
thizers gathered, hooted and threw
stones at the non-unionists. The police
repeatedly charged the crowd and made
numerous arrests, but were unable to
disperse it. During the excitement and
confusion, John Prince, a union man
employed in the Forest City foundry
was shot by some unknown non-union-
ist and will probably die. Prince is %
yers old and has a wife and two chill
dren.

of your efforts to make plain the issues

the effect to diScredit that sheet and
bring it in contempt with all parties. I
had the good fortune to have Blatne's $
speech in my possession and read the
same in full to a number OF the Jour

from his brow by the bucketful, he
prances up and down the streets like
mad, and one would suppose the saliva
tiOn of the country depends on his ef-
forts For a day or two he carried a
copy of 'Blaine's Twenty Years in Con-
gress'' under his arm to refute the pub
lished reports of that distinguished
gentleman's eulogy on silver coinage.
But he found it all there, just as pub
lished. The splitting on the Topeka
Journal and stamping it in the dirt was
only one of the wild Vagaries that he
sees in his moments of political de-
rangement. There was no such occur
renee, and the statement is a plain lie.
There are three Journals read in Hor-
ton to one Capital. It's editorials are
written from principle and not form
prejudice, and the people give them
credit more readily. No wonder the ex-
tooth carpenter wanted his name sup
pressed. He should now suppress him
self or buy neWspap per and thus real
ize his fond but misguided hopes It is
a case that demands pity rather than
criticism

who ran for governor on the Populist
ticket in 1892 and headed the Georgia
delegation at St. Louis makes a signif-
icant statement to the Atlanta Journal
today. 1t is as follows:
Conyers, Ga, Aug. 1, 1896.
To the Atlanta JournaI:-It is under
stood with the Democrats that if the
Populists would nominate Mr.. Bryan
for president and a southern Populist
for vice president that Mr.. Sewau
would retire from the race. or in other
words, that he, Mr.. SeWau would be
taken down and that our candidate for
vice president should be placed on the
ticket with Mr.. Bryan. With this un-
derStanding Mr.. Watson was unani-
mously nominated. Every state in the
Union supported him except South Car
oina and it was not represented This
was the broad ground on which the
Democrats and POpulists met. Hav-
ing been deceived by promises, we made
it a certainty on our part and reversed
the order of business and nominated
vice president first. Senator ions, chair
man of the national Democratic COM
mittee was there together with many
pOrminent Democrats from different
parts of the United States urging this
course, for the success of financial re-
form. We did not endorse Mr.. Bryan,
but made our platform and nominated
him for president by over two thirds
vote. MI. WatsOn's nomination was
greeted with as long and loud Outbursts
of enthusiasm as was Mr.. Bryan's and
Ibeg leave to say now that there is but
one course to pursue If good faith is to
govern this union of silver forces, viz:
Watson electors must be put up by the
Democratic party from Maine to Cali
fOrnia. 1t would be lack of fidelity to
ask or do otherwise. In the south, yea

the statement of Commander Booth

dare to continue thus so flagrantly to

'Booth-Tucker knows he misleads the
public when stating that we have only
two posts of any strength. We have one
hundred Differed, organized, separate
posts and we are not afraid to leave the
public to judge of their comparative
strength, financially as well as numer-
ically.
He again wilfuIly seeks to injure the
Volunteers by asserting we have more
foreign officers than American. In our
headquarters and New York regiment
alone we have 121 officers of whom "a
are American born
such statements as above are the
result of grossest ignorance or wilfuI
intent to damage an American institu-

siOnaries have brought against Booth
Tucker of being perverter of facts
seem to be confirmed by his procedure
