Baxter, Ark, Aug. 24-lld Williams,
colored, was killed and burned in his
home, three miles north of this place,
about o'clock in the morning. A posse
went to Williams house to arrest him
for an outrage on a colored woman.
His wife declared that he was not at
home. She refused, however, to open
the door and let the officers search the
house, which was finally set on fire,
Not until the roof was falling in did the
door open, when the woman ran out.
Williams was seen, Winchester in hand,
and as he raised it to take aim one of
the squad fired before Williams got his
gun in position. An effort was made
to get the body out of the burning
house, but it was too late.

tion by His Honor. 1t was very
plain, however, that the Democracy
does not take very kindly to the
action Of the Republicans, and If the
proper fight had been made in the
Democratic convention, the nomina-
tion Of Judge Bechtel could have
been defeated, in the opinion of many
who watched the proceedings
So far as the personnel of the ticket
is concerned, it is both weak and
strong. 1t will not do for the Repub-
licans to run away with the idea that
the result of yesterdays convention
assures success for the Republican
standard bearers. The nominee for
Sheriff, John Toole, of Minersville,
is not by any means the weakest can
didate they could have nominated.
He is well versed in the science of
political warfare and is very pop
ular man. The candidate for Poor
Director is not very well known
Jonathan H. Walborn, of West
Brunswick was selected more be
cause of his location and as sop to
the German wing of the party than
anything else. 1t will not likely ac-
complish the purpose. Thomas
Fogarty, the candidate for Jury Com
missioner, has much wider acquaint-
ance, especially among the Demo
cratic workers
We believe the ticket nominated
yesterday can be defeated, but to ac-
complish that end will require con
siderable work on the part of the
Republican organization. Shenan-
doah, the town of Democratic ma
jorities, presented candidate for
each of the three Offices, and in each
instance was given the cold shoulder
The Republican party enters the
contest with everything in its favor.
The different elements in the party
have been recognized in the organiza-
ton; the free silverites have returned
to the fold harmony among the
factions isapparent, and the nominees
of the party are men who stand high
in their respective communities, and
are capable and deserving Never
theless, the Republicans have much
work to perform between now and
November, if they would succeed

The Demncrntic Ticket.

The result OF the Democratic county
convention, held yesterday in Potts
vile, while it may not meet with en-
tire satisfaction at the hands of the
rank and file of the party in the
county, might have been much
worse, so far as the personnel of the
ticket is concerned. For a Demo
cratic convention, it was an orderly
assemblage, but with little enthusiasm
The adoption of the minority report
from the committee on resolutions,
endorsing the Chicago platform with
its free silver plank, was an occasion
orthe followers of William Jennings
}ryan to let loose their pent-up elo-
quenee, and they took advantage of
the opportunity Delegate Ander-
son. Of New Boston, who presented
the minority report endorsing the
man whom the people of the country
last year repudiated in no uncertain
manner, went out of his way to slap
the sound money Democrats in the
face and declared that Cleveland
Democracy the term i'm
plies-had no foothold in SchuylkiI
county. The endorsement Of the
Chicago platform will be received
with very little satisfaction by that
faction of the Democracy termed
gold bugs
The leaders of the party foresaw
the breakers ahead, and to avoid a
clash between the yellow and the
white metal people succeeded in hay
ing presented resolutions bearing
upon state and local issues only,
leaving out all questions of anational
character. This was in accordance
with the desires of the various candi-
dates. Unfortunately for the latter
and the success of the party, the
convention was not OF their way of
thinking. The latter demanded the en-
dorsement Of Bryan and the Chicago
platform, and would have nothing
else. As a result, the outlook for the
success OF the Democratic ticket this
fall is jeopardized.
The nomination of Judge Bechtel,
TO succeed himself, was anticipated.
Further comment upon the action of
the convention in this respect is
deferred pending the acceptance or
rejection Of the Republican nomina-
