stay little longer. She said: Il am
willing to go but | don't want to
give you up. l wish could see Aunt
Julia. Is she gone? Tell her to meet
me in heaven, l am going to make
heaven my home"

and her mother said: my child, lean
on Jesus, and | will see you again."

SUNDAY, AUGUST %, 1897.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DID IT.

An interview attributed to Mr.. j. Z.
Devine published in the EeXpress
gives a very glowing account OF the
returning prosperity of west Texas,
inaugurated by the Republican party,
but the closing paragraph is n corker:
MANY protection Democrats, who, be
fore the last election rather doubted
the Democratic party on the tariff
question and voted against its nomi-
nees on this account, are now active
supporters of Congressman Slayden,
and will make a strong fight for his
return to Congress"
As the record shows that there were
only five Democratic traitors to
their party on the tariff bill, the pub
lie can appreciate how little it re-
quires to restore the confidence of pro-
lection Democrts in the Democratic
party on "fhe tariff question. Texas
furnished two of these five traitors
Slayden and Kleberg. The Democratic
party is rotten ON the question. Our
two distinguished Senators, Mills and
Chiffon, fought the tariff bill inch by
inch in the Senate; demanding free
wool and free everything. Our whole
delegation, except the two traitors"
voted for free trade. Now what are
we going to do with Slayden? He is
no longer a Democrat. He is l6 to
/ silverite, and even that precious
plank has become rotten. If Slayden
wants to go back to Congress again
he had better seek the protecting shell
ter of the Republican party. For he
can be of no earthly use to the peo-
pie of this district for the next two
years. The tariff is settled, and was
settled without his help. All he can
do is to join in with the Bryan Demo
cracy and help disturb the country.
AS a Republican he would be able
to associate with the party in power
he could 90 into caucus with Republic
cans and ask favors that, as Demo-
crat he can't do.
If the people of west Texas want
favOrs. and believe in protection, let
them be honest. and justly cast
their votes with the Republican party.
Neither Slayden or Kleburg are of any
earthly use to the people. The doors
of both parties are closed against
them. J. p. NEWCOMB.

RESPONDENTS ANSWER.
Pryor, Copeland, Jones ard Kelly Make
Answer TO Petitions Of Contes.
tants-Want Separate Contests.

Formal answer to the county cleo
tion contests was made by all four
respondents yesterday. Warren &
Knapp represented the Republican re-
spondents, Messrs. Pryor. Copeland and
Jones. Mir. Kelly, the Democratic
treasurer-elect. was represented by
Hon. NJ. +. Mcdonald /. II. Burns and
Il. c. Newcomb.
Messrs. Pryor. Copeland and Jones.
i'm their answers which are similar in
substance. allege that the petitions of
the conte stants are vague. indefinite
and insufficient. and then go on to
make a general denial Of the allega-
tiOns contained therein.
After aVOwing that upwards of ten
Illegal votes were cast for Schadt, Nor
ton and Horn i'm each election district
and that many votes were cast for the
Republicans. for which they were not
accredited, the respondents specially
aIlege that i'm the Second district of
Fell township. the Third district of the
First ward of Carbondale, the Second
district of the Third ward of Scranton
and the First district of the Eleventh
ward of Scranton, the election was il
legal for the reason that ii was not
HNll at Jllc llOlllllS Dldtt HAtu Dy law,
that i'm the Second district of the
Twelfth ward of Scranton the cleo
tiCn was illegal was not conducted
hy officers duly authorized. the prop
er officers having been elected from
the booth ana other unauthorized per-
sons substituted for them; and that in
the South district of Lackawanna
township the election was Illegal be-
cause the board was not regularly con-
! stituted.
Mr.. Kelly's answer was similar in
! general tone to that of the Republi-
! cans. His special allegations were that
! the election was Illegal in the Third
| district of the Second ward of Scran-
! ton, because the polling place mad been
| changed without authority or court,
| and that the election in the Fourth
| ward Uf Olyphant was illegal because
| it had nct cc"n proclaimed by the sher.
| iff, both OF which reasons were con-
! tanned in the petitions Of the Demo-
! cratic contestants. He also all ges
| that bribery, intimidation and coer-
CiOn We're used to secure votes for his
! opponent. Mr.. Langstaff.
After presenting the answer of the
Republicans, Major Warren asked that
Zach contest ne conducted separately,
| and said that he would like to be
heard ON this matter if it was not
premature. Court indicated tnat if was
not ready to consider it as yet.
