union notice was posted are run by Nc
Kinley men. But the Republicans who
are trying to fool the operatives would
have them believe that all their friends
are Republicans and their enemies are
Democrats.
Beginning next Friday there will be
joint canvass by the Democratic and
Republican electors in this district.
Mr.. Mendenhall, the Republican elec-
tor, has, through his district chairman,
sent a challenge to Mr.. Beckwith, the
Democratic elector. 1t will be ac-
cepted.
On account of the State Fair here
this week the canvass in this district,
by all parties, will be discontinued
till next Friday.
So far the campaign in this district
has been most satisfactory to the
Democrats, though with the Republl-
cans it has been rather discouraging.
At most of their appointments they
have had nobody to speak to.
The Henderson Gold Leaf has this to
say of the speeches recently made
there bv Elector Beckwith and Con-
gressman Atwater:
MIR. Beckwith spoke first, devoting the
larger part of his time to a discussion of
Imperialism, Hannaism, McI<inleyism, the
trusts. etc. His arraignment of the prin
ciples and policies of the Republican party
and the present administration was strong
and logical. Mr.. Beckwith showed him
self clear and forceful reasoner and put
un a convincing argument from the Demo
cratic point of view of the issues dis
cussed.
Mr.. Atwater made a capital and char
acteristic speech. He spoke with deep
earnestness and his every utterance was
the emanation of an honest heart and pa
triotic spirit 1t was full of humor and
kept his hearers in constant bursts of
laughter and applause. He paid merited
tribute to Hon. E. w, Pou and urged every
Democrat to work and vote for his cleo
tion. Coming to Mr.. Bryan he emphasized
the Importance of his triumph at the polls
ca the 9Th day of November.
Hon. Edward w. Pou. Democratic
candidate for Congress, will speak as
follows during the remainder of his
campaign:

New York, May ga special to the
Herald from Montreal says:
The Dominion government secret service
has discovered that Carl pullman, J. No
lin and John Walsh, convicted of trying
to destroy the Wenand canal, came to
Canada for the express purpose of wreak-
ing vengeance on the colony for having
sent troops to South Africa; that they
threw up positions in Dublin to do so and
at least two of them were provided with
funds by the Clan-Na-Gael, which OBJ
tanned the money through Maud Come.
As a result of their Investigations the
government agents say:
The explosion was designed as a re-
prisa1 against Canada for having sent
troops to South Africa
The plot was conceived, instigated and
carried through by orders of the execu-

Immediate action is requested.

DEPEW TELLS WHY.
Explains Treatment of BOer
ENJOYS by Government.

New York, May 29-The American
correspondent for Les Nouvelles OF
Paris has cabled his paper interviews
with prominent Republicans and Dem
ocrats in the United States on the sub
.5ect Of the relations between this coun-
try and the Boer ENJOYS. They will be

They will say that Senator Depew has
ahe following views:
The Boer ENJOYS, Fischer, Vessels
and WOlmarans, committed an act of
improperly by not presenting their
credentials first to the president, or in
dis stead, to the secretary Of state, be-
fore addressing themselves to the peo-
ple. They became from the moment of
setting foot on American SOIL willing
or involuntary tools in the hands of
Tammany, which tries to exploit this
BOer question for the advantage of the
Democratic party against the admins
tration in the coming electoral cam
paign. The senate could not admit the
Boer ENJOYS to the floor for the simple
reason that in doing so it would com
init an act tantamount to a breach of
strict neutrality which the United
States government and the people de-
sire to strictly adhere to. Tt is a posi-
tive fact that President Mckinley and
MS secretary of state, Colonel Hay,
have the approval of the people of the
United States in their refusal to go any
further than they have done in favor

meetings but they must not forget the
fate of the Frenchman, Genet"
Representative Sulzer is quoted as
follows:
The refusal of the United States gov

will form a black spot in the history
Of the United States. Never since the
formation of this great government has
any of the administrations before this
one ever behaved so shamefully. The

ctples and generous sentiments, consider
liberty and independence the most prec-
