THREATENS TO CONTEST.
DR.. Priwett Claims Judge Longino's
Nomination Illegal.

Jackson, Miss. Nov. 13.-Dr. Il. *.
Prewitt, Populist candidate for Governor
in the recent election threatens to make
a contest of Judge Longingo's election ON
the ground that his nomination was il
legal In an open letter addressed to
other Populist candidates and the EXecu-
tive Committee of the Populist party.
prewitt says that the Democrats VIC
lated the primary election law in refer
ence to the nomination of their State
ticket, section 1859 of the code requir-
ing that mass meetings must be held
in all counties on the Same date, and
that the Democrats did not observe this
feature Of the primary law. He asks
that meeting of the Executive Commit
tee be held to consider the matter. When
asked for an opinion on the subject to-
night Governor McLauIin stated that
DR.. Prewitt's remonstrance is lll-found-
cd. ais the Democratic ticket was Off
cially recognized by the State Board CT
Election Commissioners, was sent out
70 the various counties in due form and
the entire proceedings were regular and
in strict conformity with the primary
laws. Prewitt was defeated by over
10000 votes.

WAITING ON The
OFFICIAL COUNT,
CONTINUED From Page One.)

The Federal Grand Jury which was
adjourned over the election reconvened
this morning and was charged by Judge
Evans regarding election violations, par
ticularly with reference to the intlmi-
dation of colored voters. He recited
the charges which had reached the ears
Of the court, described in detail the
offenses upon which indictments should
be found and continued
"Conspiracies may be hard TO prove.
but it is by no means impossible to
prove them, both by direct and circum-
stantial evidence. and if you should find
the evidence and indiot those who en-
gagged in these conspiracies, you would
get at a class of men most likely OF
higher, or at least of more pretentious
grade, than their tools. This class is
far more dangerous to the community
and their punishment much more de-
sirable in every way than the others.
However both classes should be indict-
ed. The highest duty is imposed upon
YOU to yindieate the law, and you viii
the more efficiently and commercially
discharge that duty if you probe matters
TO the bottom and, without fear or ia
vor. indict every man, however promi-
i'll any conspiracy to perpetrate the
wrongs denounced by the statute.
The court also suggests to You that
it is by no means impossible for Off
Gals Of high or low degree to engage
in such schemes, and where that is the
case, the demand for punishment is all
the more imperative, because an example
should be set in the case of those who
are charged with the enforcement of the
law who make themselves the instru-
ment of its violation"
THE COMMERCIALS FIGURES.
Louisville, Ky. Nov. 13.-The Com
mercial will say it has received official
returns from four more counties, making
1l5 out of the 119. These four coun-
ties. Rowan, Knox. Johnson and Floyd,
show net gain of % for Taylor over
the Commercials unofficial returns. This
added to the previous figures, Bill,
gives Taylor a plurality of 3,134 in the
State. In this estimate, four counties,
Jefferson. Lewis. Menefee and Harrison,
are moffcially reported.
According to the Commercials advices
today's appeals to the court in Knox
county resulted in the certification OF
the vote of that county by the election

MERRYMAKERs LAST NIGHT.
specialties Reminded One of samp-
son County Story.

Once upon a time there was in Samp-
son county a Preacher who insisted on
his congregation singing with the srerit
and ond6rstandin'."
His eXhOrtations were specially direct
ed to one Man who had never been
known to sing. Finally this man, wear
led with the repeated urging, opened up,
and sang SO loud. so out of time and
tune and altogether so badly that every
body else stopped. Then the Man stop
ped too, But when they started up
again he started again in the same harsh
unmusical voice
Il urge all who can sing to do SO,
said the Preacher. but them as can't
sing had better keep quiet. Their as
sstance in this ere music aint wanted"
It's matter of history, however, re-
corded in our Supreme Court Reports,
that the Man persisted in his singing
and was indicted therefor and punished
The moral of this true story just now
lies in its application to last nights per-
Torrance by the "Merrymakers' at the
Academy of Music: "Them as can't do
thing hadn't ought to try"
1t is especially applicable to the mono
logue of Geo. h. Raymond, to the singing
of Miss Addie Snow and Miss Alice
Eusell and to the tramp speciality that
was sandwiched in between the second
and third acts. But most particularly
does it apply to the fellow who did the
Juggling act earlier in the evening. He
worked hard enough, but the audience
didn't seem to think that ought to
atone for his omission and commission,
and so an apple descended on his head
from one of the galleries, while a cab
bage dropped from the other side and
rolled across the stage. This exhausted
the available missiles, but it didn't phase
the juggler. After that, however, the
audience had to content itself with
Kisses.
These were what the management call
ed the specalties.
As to the play for the evening, The
eSultans Daughter" it was pretty well
done. Miss FISHER made a splendid
Zuluna and Miss EuseIl, as the meddle-
some aunt, was very fine. III. L. Swayne
as Josiah Hopkins was above the ordi-
nary, and Miss Henderson as Fanny
Hopkins, his wife, was not bad. j. III.
Deming made good Irishman, while
Geo Il. Raymond made a very sorry
sort of negro character.
Tonight the bill is "A Millionaire
Tramp"

He was blown almost to atoms, only II
few shreds of his body being found, and
pieces of horsefesh were hurled several
miles. 1t it supposed that Card had a
companion, but this is not positively
known.
