that the robbers tagged the tram with
red and white lights and stopped it about
one and one-half miles west of wilcox.
There were six in the gang and four or
them got on the engine. The conductor
came forward to ascertain what stopped
them and one of the four men on the en-

IT oUISVILLE, June 90. II. p.
Belmont was called on at the BIZ
metallic banquet tonight and
said:
II am glad to have had the opportunity
to be present this evening to see with my
own eyes what we hear is going on
throughout the country: that is. the gen.
eral enthusiasm and determination of all
democrats to get together and win at the
polls in 1900.
1.-The people as q whole, rich and poor,
are dlsgusted with both the foreign an in
ternational policy of the administration.
This feeling is to be found not only among
democrats, but also among a vast number
of people, irrespective of party. There is
wide feeling that corruption has taken
hold of our government to an extent as
to be barefaeed and boast of its power. The
people will hold the republican perty re-
sponsible for this condition. They are now
looking for and ready to follow any leader
who is honest, clean-handed and able, into
whose hands they can place the helm of
state, before ever considering what the
course to be steered shall be. Such a man
is in the democratic party, and he is here
tonight.
"1he people are trying to be delivered
from reoublicanism and Hannaism. Will
the democratic party come steadily to the
front and give the people what they ask
for, or will it allow internal strife TO de-
feat it and thereby hand the people back
into the clutches of misrule? We have
just passed an era in which any loyal and
honest administration could have made
such a record as to be pointed at as one OF
the most brilliant in our history, instead of
being remembered in humiliation and sor-
row.
THE east is ready to join hands with the
west and south to assure democratic sue
Cess; in fact, have never attempted or
wished, to do anything else. The east
heartily accepts the western candidate, and
is ready to do it's all to elect him. There
seems to be much misunderstanding re-
garding the east, especially New York.
This is owing much to the fact that strictly
speaking we have no democratic paper
| The majority of our papers are republican
| and non-partisan, and devote their columns
! to reporting dissensions.
I'm New York we democrats are proud
s5sqnr party and our organization, on priu-
| cfples we agree with you of the west and
| south; on certain policies we may differ.
| l can assure you that the democratic candi-
| date and platform will receive the support
| of the democracy of New York in 1900.
, I'm the east democrats and independents
| are thinking principally of the corruption
| of the administration, the mismanagement
| of the war, the inefficient and partisan
| appointments during the war, the scandal
| of the various departments, from the beef
| transaction to the buying of the Merrimac.
| They are thinking of the income tax, and
| they are thinking of a bribed legislation
| by corrupt and venal wealth and lastly,
| they are thinking most about the huge and
| gigantic trusts, produced by republican
| protection, that are rising in vast numbers
| to crush them
with Bryan as a candidate and smash
| the trusts as our war cry New York will

GOVERNOR OF
SOUTH CAROLINA
William HazeIden Ellerbe Dies
of Consumption Near
Dillon.

Charleston, June 2-William Hazelden
Ellerbe. governor of South Carolina, died at
his home near Dillon tonight. About two
weeks ago he went in the last stages of
consumption, from the governors residence
at Columbia, where he had been an invalid
for months, to his plantation home in Ma
rion county. He was descendent OF cap
tain Thomas Ellerbe, of Marion's brigade,
who came to this state from Virginia In 1851.
He was born in 1862 and educated at Wof-
ferd college and Vanderbilt university. He
was a planter and merchant at the incep-
ton of the Tillman campaign and was
elected comptroller-g general in 1890. He was
defeated as candidate for governorship. In
1896 he was elected governor, carrying every
county in the state. In November, 1888, he
was reelected governor after a hot cam
paign, and many conservatives claim that
he had not fulfilled his pledges.
He warmly approved the Spanish war,
saying in his speech to the volunteers: I'VE
are all Americans. The sentiment of every
American, yea of every South Carolinian,
is expressed that faction will not divide us;
that sectionalism will not destroy this. re-
public. It's borders shall be extended, it's
commerce shall float on every sea, its stars
shall be trebled and it's institutions flourish
until time is no more. We fought to de-
stroy the union, but we were right In prin-
cipe We were whipped, and we are now
In the union to stay"
His domestic life has been happy and
beautiful one. He leaves his widow and
six children and a large landed estate in
Marion county. He was succeeded by
Lieutenant Governor Miles w. McSweeney,
a former Charleston printer boy.

oppressed people of Cuba from the DOM

ITO the same master guidance, controlled

For the national defense, for the REM

of our foreign markets, for the employ

A GEM OF COMPETITION.

Written for Industrial Freedom.
I stood on the corner of Broadway New York.
And watched the motley crowd pass by,
a busy. seething. hurryng throng,
From society's ranks, both low and high.
A picturesque sight was this human sea.
Rejecting the various grades of caste.
From the gaudy queens of the upper ten
TO the beggarly child as it hurried past,
There were men in that crowd whose latter
ed Clothes
To their features proud, bore Z strange con-
trast,
: Their whitening chances of smothered pride,
Too plainly told of different past.
There were sad-faced matrons of middle age
Whose fair exterior the heart belied.
The far-oif glance was an index plain
70 a longing that never was satisfied.
I saw young girls pass YEARLY by
Whose tagging step and sunkeu cheek
Were tales told of poverty's work,
More plainly than tongue could ever speak.
There were others, bedecked in jewels and
silks,
With painted cheek and morals blind,
A sickening sense crept DER my frame,
As the awful truth flashed through my mind.
While wrapped in thoughts sublime and
deep,
| spied a ragged Deggarly man
Carrying cracker box under his arm.
And broken spade in his hrawny hand.
Something about the sad strange face,
Made me anxious to know his life,
Ill.

an ugly mood. He knew he could
crush the little, pin-headed tvrant
like q goOseberry, if he could only get
his hands on him. But Just here was
the trouble. He could never seem to
get hold of the little cuss. If the giant
reached for him he would whip up his
PONIES and scamper off up the hill out
of the way. And then when the giant
had cooled Otfa little the dwarf would
draw his face down into a sober look
that was very COnical and say: Now,
Mr.. Giant, hope YOU Won't be SO
foolish as to get angry with me again
You know am giving YOU steady
employment and YOU ought to lie
to be grateful 10 me instead OF acting
III this manner. Now YOU must be
patient. Practice economy and be
patient. NOu mosu not forget Your
blessings. ("The dwarf was faithful
church member.) "If YOU do right
and work patiently you will go to
heaven when you die and then you
will get your reward. And strange
to say the giant would listen to this
hypocritical clap-trap and go away
satisfied.
But the loads kept getting heavier
and heavier and every once in while
piece would be Clipped off Of his
wages. The poorGiant began to think
he might be compelled togo to heaven
before the proper time if something
was not done And he began to do
something he had never done before
he began to think in his own interest.

ing all the wealth and that the dwarf
was getting it. He began to see that
he was holding and feeding the COW
while the dwarf was milking hc.'.
Now in that country and at that
time a man was entitled to as many
votes on election day as the number
OF pounds he weighed, This was a
strange thing, Of course, bat it was not
the only strange thingin that countvr.
There were others. chi, Eeing thccas
the giant had q great MANY more votes
chan the dwarf But the giant had
been in the habit of casting all his
votes for his master the dwarf But
as time passed on the giant bcgant to
cast some OF his votes for himself.
This troubled the dwarf greatly He
wanted the giants labor and his
votes also. His head was not large
but his gail WIS unlimited Sometimes
he wanted the giants votes SO badly
that he was willing to give IS much
rs two dollars apiece for them. And
sometimes he got them by merely tell
ing the giant that if hisV0tes were not
forthcoming he could no longer carry
loads up the hili. And sometimes he
did not even have to make a bluff
But the giant began to cast some of
his votes for himself and il caused the
dwarf much loss of sleep and temper.
The giant begain to see that it did no
good to try to catch the dwarf and
punish him bodily, that the only eftec-
tive way to beat him was to out-vote
him. SO he quit getting red in the
face when the days were hot, the loads
heavy and the wages small. He simply
buckled down to his work and said
nothing but thought whole libraries.
And finallw there came an election
day when the giant quietly went to
the polls and cast all his votes in his
own interest. And lo for the first
time in the history of the world he
who carried loads up the hill was the
master.
