NJ. NJ. Sturgeon is receiving an nm
expected influence in his behalf for
the denomination for member of the
state board of equalization Just now.
1t comes from Moline and lis promo
ters are not so disposed because they
love Sturgeon particularly, but that
they have someone more Deere to
them in that city. They realize
that with Sturgeon safely landed
for the nomination the chances of
c. L. Walker, of this city, for
either delegate to the national con-
sention or presidential elector-
and he 10 in line for either-would be
considerably diminished. as they do
not anticipate that this city will
evince sufficient cheek to ask for both
distinctions. So that with Walker
out of the way, as q sacrifice to Stur-
geon. there would be nothing left in
the way Of Deere's recognition as ma
tional convention delegate, Is far as
this county is concerned.
Tan Hustling just Now.
In view of the meeting of the re-
publican county committee at the
Harper next Tuesday both fac
tions are now hustling, and
what strength Sturgeon is losing
by reason of the quiet knitting he is
receiving from the Walker-Collins
combine, he is regaining in Moline In
the interest of Deere. This peculiar
state of affairs is refreshing no less
to Sturgeon than to the party gener-
ally. as he is not particularly strong
in Moline and the revelation dis
closes the peculiar situations and
strange bed fellows that political
ambition may develop.
Payne Sem Riding,
OF late Sister Payne has disap-
peared again, and is believed to be
out in the rural districts putting mp
the pins for Walker and Collins and
at the same time swiping Tom
Campbell whenever occasion presents
itself. The rural districts NAV be
relied upon to arbitrate the differ
enoe between the Rock Island and
Moline factions Of the party in the
discomfort that has now arisen over
the preferences to be shown in con-
nection with the coming national
convention. and this is the reason
that the irrepressible Payne has been
pressed 80 conspicuously into SER
vice with his one horse shay.
But for the present the fight is on
between Rock Island and Moline
and 1t is to the knife.

TIE REPUBLICANS and their assis-
tants. the boilers, are quoting General
Wash:ogton's warning against section
aiism. uttered one hundred years ago.
Have they forgotten the sectional war
the North made upon the South :?
Don't they know that party OF federal
generals engaged in that war are now
travelling in special train through the
Northwest, speaking 10 favor ofthe man
who boasts that he was with Sheridan
in the Valley of Virginia? Are they
not aware that the Union Veteran"
throughout the country have resolved
to cast solid vote for Mckinley, their
comrade, and that the republican press
in all parts OF the North is advising the
soldiers of that section to "vote as they
shot?" The democratic party is not
sectional; it lives in every precinct OF
every State and Territory in the coun-
try; its principles and its policy are ma
tional, and its object the good of the
many in all parts Of the land, and not
of the few in the North, who have be-
come possessed of millions by means of
special legislation. Sectionalism exists
in the North, not in the South and
West.

The Political Outlook.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2+.-Reports receiv-
ed at national democratic headquarters
during the last three days strengthen
the belief that Mr. Bryan will carry at
least rwo-third5 of the electoral votes
of the United States. During the last
week fusion between the democrats and
the populists has been consummated
in North Carolina, Kentucky, Illinois
and Wyoming. This union OF the sill
yer strength in these States, it is claim
ed, assures them all for Bryan by over
whelming majorities. Even the repub
licans concede that they no longer
have any chance in North Carolina
and Kentucky. In Kentucky fusion
was reached Thursday, under an agree
ment whereby the populists withdrew
their electoral ticket and are given two
places on the democratic electoral
ticket. In North Carolina the demo
cratic, populist and silver parties have
united on the Bryan electoral ticket,
the democrats naming FIVE electors,
the populists five and the silver
party one. In Illinois four democratic
electors have Withdrawn and their
places are filled by four populists
This completes fusion in Illinois, gives
$4,000 populist votes in that State TO
Mr.. Bryan, and, the democratic mana
gers declare, assures q majority of al
least 10000 for the democratic ticket.
The democrats aud populists OF Wyou-
ing have also srranged fusion on the
basis Of two democratic and one popu

governor OFERRALL threatens the
democrats Of Virginia with the effect
of his powers on the stump if they
"goad" him into exerting them. 1t
was very wrong for the democrats OF
Richmond to interrupt the Governors
who having voted eight times for free
silver, advocated the gold cause in their
city last night, for every man has the
right to change his opinions, and to ex'
press them in this State; but if the Gov
ernor shall deem that interruption as
sufficient to "gosd" him into going on
the stump for scarce gold, the demo-
Gratis of the State will look upon it as
blessing in disguise, for the more Gov
ernor O'Ferrall speaks in Virginia, the
more votes the democratic candidate
for President will receive. In view OF
the GAzETTE's opposition to the nomi-
nation of President Cleveland and Gov
ernor OFerrall, many people credit it
with being prophet, but to be q
prophet only requires common sense
and knowledge of the subject of the
prophecy.

THE New York World, plutocrati

THE New York World, plutocratic
organ. has a special correspondent II
PENNSYLVANIA, enquiriDg about the
probable result of the approaching
election in that State. In his yester-
DAYS letter this correspondent says 1t
is impossible for the State to do other
wise than give Mckinley an immense
majority, as the Philadelphia Savings
Fund Institution has subscribed S25,-
900 to the Mckinley fund, as the Fidei-
i.v Company, OF the same city, has
given 10000, and large number o.
other banking institutions in Philadel-
Dhia have subscribed $4,000 each. He
concludes by saying there will be ST.
100000 contributed in the State OF
Pennsylvania, and that all the rail-
wavs in that State are in politics, all
the horse and electric car lines, and al
most all the capitalistic organizations are
arrayed against the resumption OF sill
yer coinage. So it seems that the plu-
tocrats are not only attempting to buy
the Presidency, as those OF old Rome
used to buy the crown, but that they
actually boast OF their ability 70 do so.
Well, they may flourish for while,
but all students of history know that
they are sowing wind and sooner or
later will reap whirlwind, the effects
OF which will be terrible, ard more SO
10 them than TO anybody else.

NEGRO KILLED THREE PERSONS
Tuesday about midnight John Johnson,
colored, killed Mr.. and Mrs. John
Cotton and Erven Steven, aged seven
teen, and seriously wounded Misses
Agnes and Lizzie Miller. All these
people and Miss Maud Miller and three
children lived in the same house on
a farm about one mile east of Tickfaw
station, La, and are well-to do whites.
Miss Maud Miller was awakened by
some noise, and she saw Johnson, one
of the farm hands, in the room with an
axe raised above her head. She scream
ed and the negro fed. The alarm was
given, and the neighbors came and
found the dead aud wounded, as above
stated. No motive can be assigned for
the deed.
Johnson lived at Amite City, La,
awhile, and has bad character. His
mother says he called at her house
there next morning at o'clock, and
was admitted, where he remained until
about 6 o'clock, when he took a gun
and said he was going hunting. About
two hours later he was seen in Natala-
bany swamp, five miles from there.
Searching parties are after him. and il
caught he will finnish the central figure
for lynching.

REV. THOMAS DIXON, OF New York,
not content with turning his pulpit into
a partisan >rostrum on Sundays, has
gone on the stump,to advocate the cleo
ton of the scarce gold, high tariff and
anti-income tax Presidential candidate,
and to denounce the democrats as rob-
bers and anarchists. Many of the other
preachers of his and other cities have
abandoned the cause of religion for that
of mammon. Respect for preachers is
not as high now as it used to be, and it
is needless to say that the course pur-
sued by those referred to is not calcu-
lated to increase it.
