Southern at 7.S0. The largest crowd
under cover that the President has come
in contact with during his present trip

The Great God Doodle.

The bankers through whom 1t ia
alleged some of the Hanna purchase
checks passed fatly refuse to tell
tre investigating committee of the
Ohio Senate what they know
Why should they? Would it not
be an impious attempt to thwart the
providences of the mysterious deity
by whose beneficient aid Hanna was
enabled successfully to "close the
deal for Senatorship? What is man
that he should raise his hand against
the great god, Doodle, who has taken
the Republican party under his pro
lection?
The only criticism of these bank.
ers is that did not go far enough.
BY their silence they fairly shouted
Hanna's guilt from the house tops.
They should have denied that there
was any thing to tell, That is the
true and loyal way to serve the god
Hanna and Mckinley and Demas
and Wimberlv. That is the real way
to live up to the motto of the wor
shippers of that deity:

A DASTARDLY CRIME.
Harry Draper Murdered at East
End Tunnel Yesterday.
THE ASSASSIN IS LYNCHED.
His Body Rddled With Bullets by an Excit.
ed and Infuriated Mob.
Bluefeld Telegraph Feb. IL

Bluefeld Telegraph, Feb. l..
Yesterday evening at half past -four
o'clock an unprovoked killing occurr-
ed at the east end tunnel; ut least
the intelligence received here so in
dicates. 1t seems that VIM Bailey
colored, started Mt the ives! eid of
the tunnel, which is seven eights of
mile in length, and walked through
When he came to the east portal the
watchman, harry Draper, told him
it was against the rules to walk
through the tunnel and that he
would have 10 go back. This Baily
refused to do. Draper insisted and
Billy again refused. Draper said
"I'll see that YOU do go back" and
Bailey pulled his pistol aud fired
four shots at Draper all o! which
took effect, killing bin instantly.
The shots were henrd mt tho Mail
Greek Company's tipple and several
men ran TO the scene of the shoot
ing. They ordered Bailey to throw
up his hands and held him until a
telephone message to Coopels
brought Policeman Godfrey nu,l
MIR G. ID. Bray tD The scene. Th..y
arrested Bailey and lodged him in
Jail at Bramwell When the faci.;
became known there was considera
bic excitement.
About fifteen men entered the
Jail at Bramwell ut 11:45, where
VIM. Baily alias VIM. Fitch was con
fined They attracted the attention
of the deputy sheriff aud his assis-
tants, aud they assembled in the
front room. The lypching party
then broke in the back and middle
doors with axes and placed rope
around the negroes neck and dragg-
him aboot two hundred feet down
the railroad toward Simmons. He
was handcufl'ed, and his body was
riddled with bullets, from fifty to
one hundred bullets being fired Mt
him. Going down the railroad he
pleaded with the mob not to kill him
although he had expressed himself
earlier in the evening as ready to
die, out he hardly expected his time
to come so soon. His body is still
lying at the place the mob killed him.
Mr.. Draper was married and leaves
a wife and one child. He was son
Of Jesse Draper, of " alker's Creek,
Giles county, Va, who is employed
on the bridge force of the Pocahon.
tas division.
This is very unfortunate affair
Mr.. Draper was a good citizen and
highly esteemed by all who knew
him, and his family has the sympathy
OF the entire community.

BURIED BY REPUBLICANS.
Party Lines Almost Unbroken in the Teller
Resolution Vote.

Washington, Jan. 3l.-The House
of Representatives today buried the
Teller Resolution, declaring the
bonds of the United States payable
in silver, under an adverse majority
of fifty votes.
The Republicans were solidly ar
rayed in opposition with two OK.
ceptions, MIR. Linney, of North Car.
olina, who voted with the Democrats
and Populists, and Mr.. White, of
North Carolina, the only colored
member of the House, who answered
present" when his nnme was called.
The desertions from the Democratic
were Mr. McAleer, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr.. Elliott of South Carolina.
Both voted with the Republicans
against the proposition.
Speaker Reed, although it is not
Gust omary for him to vote, had his
name called and amid the cheers of
bis followers went on record in op.
position to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five
hours OF debate under n special order
adopted ut tic opening of the ses.
sion today. The t!mo allowed for
debate being so limited, and the de-
mands of members for an opportuni-
ty to be heard was so great, that the
leaders on both sides were compelled
to farm out the time by minutes.
This distracted much from the con.
;inuity of the discussion, but il also
in II measure intensified the interest.
The galleries were crowded all
day long, and the combatants on the
floor were cheered by their respect
i've sympathisers MANY of the Sen
ators from the other end OF the Cap
itol were also present to listen 10 tbs
arguments. The maj,rity, under
the leadership of Mr.. Dingley, who
made IL carefully prepared speech
sounding the keynote of opposition,
assumed the position that the last
clause Of the resolution was in real
ity disguised declaration for the
free coinage Of silver, while tho
Democrats, under the direction OF
MIR. Bailey, maintained that the do
feat of the resolution was another
step in the direction of the establish
ment of che gold standard, to which
they alleged both the President and
Secretary Gage had irrevocablly
committed the Republican party.
The debate at times was fast and
heated, but there were no sensation
al incidents beyond the kissing Of
Mr.. Rhea, of Kentucky, when he
said that, as the author of "the crime
of 49," the hottest place in Hades
would be reserved for tho present
Secretary of State.
The vote on the resolution was,
ayes 1872; nays 1872.

tion will pass both branches of tho

not likely that the expenses of the
State will bo sufficiently cut down
and enough amendments to tho con.
stitution adopted to make it unnccos-
sary to call convention. Mr.. With.

tho Senate committee yesterday and
with very slight amendments.
