THE DEMOCRATIC MACHENE.
a opeCidi from burnam says: There
Is comment here about the position
taken by several Democratic State
papers that it is too early to talk OF
who will succeed the Populst United
States Senator Marion Butler" The
rank and file of the Democratic party
are afraid, they say, that the machine
will take snap Judgment on the masses
and that the party will be more help
less here, in that event, than 1t Is in
Virginia or Kentucky.
4 PENSION WARRANTS.
y The State Auditor had the pension
warrants ready for the mails on the
4th, but, Treasurer Worth requested
that they be held back until December
18th, SO that money could come into
the treasury to pay them. The State
taxes cannot be paid in until December
LIST, SO that he wants to get this money
10 meet the warrants.
ATTITUDE OF PoPULrsTs.
Such Populists as Senator Butler,
State Secretary Cyrus Thompson and
ex-Congressman Harry Skinner will
unite with the Republicans In fighting
the amendment. It is said Harry
Skinner will be one of the most bitter
fighters.
