LOOKS BRIGHT.

The work OF the two great political
parties III the United States of Amer
lea to carry the last election OF tie
eighteenth century is about closed
All that is left is a few details and the
shouting The latter goes, no mat
ter which party is successful. This
has been a remarka BILE campaign and
no man can predict the outcome with
absolute certainty. Little enthusi-
asm and outward demonstration has
attended the efforts of either party,
and that of itself makes the result
more uncertain. Great interest has
been taken by the voters all over the
country and there has never been a
campaign in this country where the
voter gave more thought and study
to the issues to be determined. But
1T is hard to tell what the quiet man,
that says nothing, will finally do.
Judging from reports all over the
country and the remarkable demon
onstrations attending Bryans tin
erary, and the wonderful ovations
given him, in what four years ago
was the ''enemy's country" there il
no question that the cause of democ-
racy is growing brighter and we are
fully convinced that Mr. BRYAN will
he elected. The democratic party i,
right on the great questions up for
settlement and we believe the people
will so pronounce by their ballots on
next Tuesday.
We believe we will carry New York |
because the democrats are united ~ |
they have not been before for wears.
All of the leaders are working hard
and In harmony, and the democrats
have never failed to carry that state
when those conditions prevailed. Mr..
Croker is certain that Greater New
York City will give ii majority sutti
elent to overcome any majority that
the republicans can bring down from
the state.
conditions are favorab bic for demo-
cratic success in Indiana. In Illinois
similar conditions exist as in New
ork. Democrats are in control of
the city OF Chicago and Mayor Carter
Harrison says that city will give Mr..
bryan forty thousand majority. If
that is true the democrats will carry
Illinois, for the republicans can not

The Republican charges that the
county court Disseminated in favor
of democrats in the appointment OF
election Judges. but fails to point TO
a single township or precinct where
this was done. 1t abuses the judges
and displays a partisan spirit which
would far eclipse such action Of the
county judges. even il they were
guilty as charged, But it Is not true
that republicans were refused repre-
sentation on election boards. We
know that it was the desire and
intention OF the court to treat all
parties fair in the appointment OF the
judges, and if IL happened in any pref
cinct that this was not done il was

MAY BE THE COLUMBUS MURDERER.
A Negro Arrested At Billings Sets Fire to
His Bedding.

From Sheriff John Dunn, who
stopped over in Billings on his return
from an official trip to the state in
sane asylum, it is learned that City
Marshal Jack Bond OF the Yellow
stone metropolis came mighty near
having a roasted coon for breakfast
last Monday morning.
1t appears that colored man, Civ
ing his name as Charles Cartwright,
was arrested as a vagrant Sunday eve
ming and was placed in the city jail.
The prisoner conceived the brilliant
idea of setting fire to his bed and
making his escape during the excite
ment consequent upon the discovery
OF the conllagration, but in carrying
out the first part Of the: programme
he nearly lost his life, for he was
found unconscious from smoke as
phyxiation, on the floor of his burn
ing COLI The next day the smoked
coon was given sixty days for des-
troying Jail property. . g.
Sheriff Dunn says that the negro
was around Columbus about the time
of the recent murder Of Joseph Bog
ner and thinks that he is the iend
who drove the pick into the murdered
mans brain.
