stated that they could handle the mob
without military assistance. and when
the sheriff ordered Major Cutchins to
depart, there was nothing left for
him to do but go.

conditions warranted that.

ters will, ] presume, be carried out.
The men who took part in the lynch
ing will, or should be, arrested and
dealt with accordingly.
"As Governor and as a citizen. L
deeply deplore this fragrant outrage
upon law and order. Nothing was left
for me to do but what was done. L
exercised my prerogative to its fullest
extent. The trouble seems to have
been with the authorities at Emporia.

protection would be given the pris
oners. The result shows that the con-

him to the limb Of a tree and fired
several bullets into his body.
Later despite the protests of cooler
heads, who claimed that the guilt of
the white man had not been estab-
lished. another crowd, composed
largely of negroes, overcame the re-
sistance of the few that tried to pro-
tect O'Grady, took him out and hang
ed him also.
The three other prisoners, whom
Cotton charged with having commit
ted the Black murder and robbery.
were discharged by the Judge and

In THE first issue of The UNION after the
Presidential election four years ago we said,
commenting on what would be likely to fol-
low that contest with returning confidence
business enterprises will startu and thousands
who have been in enforced idleness will find
ready employment at remunerative wages.
Once more peace and prosperity will reign
everywhere, but these changes cannot come at
once. That they will come gradually and al
most imperceptibly we firmly believe. Let
us all strive to bring about such pleasing
state of things by abstaining from evil forbod-
ings such as are begotton by the dismal vail
of hard times and much else that is so glibly
discussed but which, in reality, has so little
foundation in fact" We are pleased to say
that the prediction made at that time has been
fully verified. Years of activity and prosperity
have followed McKinley's election and we
trust they may be continued under the new
administration.
