THEY FIND A MAN
CONTINUED from Fifth Page)

ard how his action had completely
wrecked all hope Of e.ecting their ticket.
They had never expected to elect the
head Of the ticket but were in hopes that
Silver Republican candidate, G. W. c.
Jones, might be able to pull through. but
Herndon's action knocked this hope into
q cooked hat.
OF the four principal offices the divis-
DOR shows: Democrats, Mayor and city
clerk; Silver Republicans city attorney;
Pops, city treasurer. The Pops were put
off with the most insignificant place, botl,
as to position and emoluments, that was
at the disposal of the convention. They
were virtually ignored by the Democrats.
and they are madden thar a wet hen.
Another cause Of dissension was the
treatment Of A. E. Hem and Irwin
Stratton. Both were completely outcIass-
ed by Jones for the nomination for city
attorney. Helm used to be the epokes-
mar Of Cone, Lewelling combination, but
he has Left his former associat ties and
taken UP with the Sankey-Campbell
crowd. They have no use for him and his
old friends have lost faith in him; as a
result he got only two votes in the con-
ventior for city attorney Fortunately
for him business had called him away
from the chair and he was not present
TO face this humiliating defeat.
Stratton has not been I'D to the pie
counter for two years, not since his de-
feat for probate judge. He was getting
hungry and thought there might be d
chance for him this year If the Republi-
cans were divided. He only got nine
votes in thesconvention. His own ward
only gave him six, and one of these was
his OWE vote. Both of these gentlemen
are sore at the decision of SATURDAYS
convention.
The McCarty boys, who control the
Third ward. had not been brought into
line last night Every effort was being
made to get them to get out and work
for the ticket, but they are pretty smart
fellows and do rot care TO work for q
loser.
Burton said he was highly satisfied
with the nomination of Young, but he
and his friends know that Yourg will
be beaten by over 1000 majority and car
see no use in wasting time in working
for him.
1t is seldom that Democrat viii vote
Tor Republican, he usually preferring
TO stay at home, but ii is safe predic-
ton TO make that Finlay Ross will geti

any other Republican candidate who wa .

crease in the rise at Memphis, in spite
of the fact that the river is rising at
Caro-. There are no breaks below Mem
phis. The leyees are higher and better
than they have ever been before, which
accounts for the river being higher
thdn usual and still not doing the
amount of damage that has been done
in the past with a lower stage of water.
This rise has demonstrated that the
Ievees between Cairo and Memphis must
be raised, as the water went over the
top of them. In the river north Of Caro-
there is not very high water and the loss
IS comparatively nothing"

wheeling the two-yoar-old son OF NJ. i. Britton

walk with a soldier sweetheart from the local
English garrison. When sho returned hor
charge was gone. The family made every effort
to recover the little one, but without avail.
As has recently developed. il was stolen by q
man named Myers In the hope OF securing u re-
ward. After the crime was committed he be-
came so much alarmed that no never dared TO
claim money from the family, and the child
reached the ago of seven years under his care,
In 1858 Myers died, and for a year his vito
kept the hoy with hor. She was greatly troubled
In her conscience, and finally resolved TO devise
some plan of returning tho lad TO his family.
She feared to go directly ~ them with her story,
and by way OF reaching them secured employ
ment as a domestic In their household
The Brlttons were without u child of their
own, and when Mrs. Myers suggested that they

Myers soon atterward left their employ. She
kept up n desultory correspondence with th,m
for several years and finally dropped out Of sight,
In tho moan time the Brittons and their sup
posedly adopted son removed to u farm in
northern New York, and afterward TO another
near Akron. A few days ago they received q
letter from Mrs. Myers, In England. giving full
particulars OF tho abduction OF their, child
twenty-one years ago and tho method sho adort7d
