Democratic Candidates.

The gentlemen nominated for offices
on the democratic ticket last evening
are all good citizens, and have the res
pect and good will of all.
MI. Wheeler, for mayor, has been a
resident of Denison for twenty-five or
thirty years, and has a wide acquain-
tanceship. However, he has in his OPP
ponent, whom men in his own party
say he cannot beat, a man who has the
qualities for the Office acquired by a
long and successful business career, a
nan who, when elected, will use the
same discretion and economy in city
affairs that he has in his own business.
In Nh. Carey, for treasurer, no one can
find any fault. He will be defeated
however, Mr.. Plimpton has served the
people too long to be cast aside at this
time. Mr.. Jas. Barrett is a rising young
attorney who has the ability, but lacks
experience, and he will meet his defeat
for solicitor m%anfully. Mr.. Harry
Luney, for assessor, is a popular and
honest young man. He is handicapped
also, by lack of experience. An assessor
should be a good judge of values, know
to a certain extent the value of real es
tate, etc. In Mr.. Bond, the voters have
a tried and true friend and are not
liable to overthrow him.
For alderman in the first ward, Nh.
Fritz Heiden is not likely to carry much
weight with the voters. He is an hon
est and upright gentleman, but is not
posted on city affairs. In the second
ward, MI. Wm. Hagenow deserves
credit for his manliness and has won
the respect of a number of friends who
see in him a good man, but are not
willing to see a man of MI. Browns
calihre defeated. MI. John Schnoor in
the third ward, is a gentlemanly Ger
man fellow. who will not be elected,
Mr.. Slime having given his constituents
entire satisfaction and there is no fear
as to his election.

DEATH OF ARTHUR WCKEas


The following Clipping taken from
the Madison Star (Neb.) tells of the sad
death of Arthur III. Vickers in the
Philippines. The young man was well
known here and has many friends who
will mourn his death.
Again. last Sunday, were our people
permitted to perform the last rites over
the remains of another of the brave
boys who followed .'Old Glorv''to Man
lila and there found a resting place IN
''life's eternal camping ground" He
was but little more than a boy, yet he
bore a brave mans part in the struggle,
winning commentator and promotion.
and finally paying the price of patriot.
ism-shedding his precious blood and
giving up his young life in defense of
his country's flag.
Arthur III. Vickers was born in Dem
ison, Ia, August 80. 1877, and died April
4, 1899, Of wounds received at the battle
of g uinguinto.P f. I'm SO, 1898. He
became a resident Of Madison inals95.
and was associated with his brother in
the newspaper business. In the same
year he became.a member of company
F, First n. n. g., and was made
trumpeter. After the company was
mustered into the U. s. service, May
8, 1898, he was made corporal, promoted
to sergent after reaching Manila, and
finally made first serpent. His remains
were inferred in the Clausen cemetary

conducted by Company F. the ,K.to ( p.

THE TICKET.

The general caucus held last evening
by the democrats which placed in nom
ination the above ticket was not as
largely attended as the caucus of the
previous evening, and considerable
friction was manifest, Notwithstanding
the numerous appeals for harmony.
Frank Faul acted as chairman and
Chas. Cramer was chosen secretary.
An informal ballot for mayor was taken
in which N. j. Wheeler and A. j. Gary
we're accorded liberal support. A mo-
ton was made that the ballot be made
formal and Mr.. Wheeler be declared
the nominee without the result of the
ballot being made known. This how
ever was objected to and the ballot was
read. A formal ballot was then taken
and Mr.. Wheeler received a majority
of the votes cast and was declared the
nominee.
For treasurer the name of Mr.. John
7. Carey was presented and a motion
was lost to elect him unanimously as it
was thought there we're other aspirants
in the hall. The latter prevailed and a
vote was taken in which Mr.. John VIE
land received considerable votes. Mr..
Carey however received a majority and
as elected.
For solicitor the anne of r. K
Burch, Sam O'Hare, Geo Richardson,
j. B. Barrett and R Shaw Van were
brought out. On the informal ballot
Mr.. Burch received II votes and MIR.

Advocates of More Schools In tho Senate
Regard Outlook as Gloomy.
Des Moines Leader.-The senate
committee on educational institutions
sat Tuesday afternoon. on the various
normal school bills now pending before
it. There were three bills demanding
consideration. First was the HazletOn
three-school bill, introduced In the SEN
ate a long time ago and pending in the
committee ever since. Then came the
house o%ne-school bill, as it passed the
lower body, with the Knoxville feature
included; and finally anne the senate
committees subcommittee measure,
providing fora single school, but not
including the Knoxville provision.
When the full committee took up the
matter it didn't require much time to
determine that the Hazleton bill wasn't
wanted. 1t was indefinitely decapitat-
ed without any indefniteness about the
operation. Then came the house bill,
which was considered at some length,
and finally voted for indetinate post
ponment. Then, weary of its slaugh-
tering, the committee concluded to de-
fer action on the sub committee meas
ure, and adjourned without doing any
thing further.
The friends of the normal movement
admit that prospects in the senate are
gloomy. They say that there is a strong
opposition in. the body, and one poll
made yesterday by a senator who Is
considered friendly to a one school bill
indicated that twenty-six members Of
the senate a be counted certainly
against the bill. If this is true, the
measure is, of course dead.

I SAMPLE OF COTTON
SENT FROM PHILIPPINES BY
GENERAL JOE WHEELER.
(By Tclegraphlt 10 vlrgInian-Pnot)

(8y Tclegraphto Virginian-Piloi)
Memphis, Tenn. Jan ia local
cotton firm has received II letter from
General Joe Wheeler, now in the Phil
ippines, enclosing a sample of cotton
grown there. General Wheeler SAYS
very little cotton is grown in the Phil
lpplnes, however, and most of the cot
ton used in the Manila mills come from
the United States. Speaking OF the in
surrection, General Wheeler says:
Il regard the instruction as sub
stantially over. Had it not been for
the action of those who are called anti
imperialists in the United States. who
had deluded Aguinaldo into the idea
that they would secure him indepcn-
dence. 1t would have been over some
time ago. The president of the Irili-
pino congress. Senior Baoisto. is Mt this
place. He tells me that the congress
and cabinet are dispersed and Aguin-
aldo is a fugitive, and this information
we have had from several other
sources. These islands are very rich
and are charmingly delightful. All
they require is good honest govern
ment- 1t will be a very great adynn-
tage to the United States to have orr

CLARK BRIBERY CASE
SENATE COMMITTEE CONTINUES
INVESTIGATION OF CHARGES.

INVESTIGATION OF CHARGES.
(By Telegraph to Virginian-Pilot
Washington. Jan. 13.-The Senate
Committee of Privileges and Elections
to-day continued the investigation of
charges against Senator Clark, of Mon
tana. NJ. L. Hewitt, miner. who was
in Helena during the session of the
Legislature in 1899, said that Charley
Clark had asked him to see Senator
Myers and offer him $4,000 for his vote
for Mr.. Clark for Senator. He had ac-
cordingly talked with Mr.. Myers. and
testified that that gentleman had told
him, after first declining the PROPOSE
ton, to say to Clark that If he was dis
posed TO do so he could put $4,000 in
the hands of Mr.. Whteside TO be paid
to him (AIyers) in case he should vote
for Mr.. Clark. Mr. Hewitt said that the
senator's son stated that this arrange
ment was satisfactory. and had after
ward told him that the money for
Myers had been given TO Whiteside,
and that vote was assured
The witness said he had seen the SEN
ator at-fiS rooms Attic Helena Hotel

posture, and had asked him what he
PAOPc'Co " w, Milcn tne nuu
replied: There IS only one thing to
do. and that Is to make the people be-
lieve that the Daily gang have fur
nished the money and have put up a
conspiracy against u.s.
Concluding his testimony, Mr.. Hew-
EFT said he had received no pay for his
services from Mr.. Clark and no promise
OF any. He had been Interested with
the Senator in mining company, and
preferred him to his opponents.
Charles w. Jackson Of Salt Lake,
Utah, member of the Legislature of
that State, testified that he had met
Clark in Salt Lake City during the
Senatorial deadlock in that State. last
February, and that Clark had tried to
influence him to Vote for NIcCunc for
UnitBl States Senator from Utah. in
tmating to him that in case he should
do so he would be paid for the act
Mr.. Jackson said he had declined ana
that Clark had then proceeded TO
argue the point, saying that all scan
dals OF that character soon died out;
that it was the custom OF men of
wealth to spend money to secure cleo
ton TO the Senate. jackson said Mr..
clark cited the case of Senator Hanna,
OF Ohio, as in point. Continuing. he
said that Mr.. Clark stated that in his
own case he had used money to secure
his own election. which had then bur
recently occurred. His election had
caused some talk and one of the men,
bcrs had foolishly exhibited some bills
In u careless way. but he had no doubt
that the talk would soon die out and
that he would hear little more of it.
The witness said that Mr.. Clark had
asked him TO regard the conversation
as confidential

testimony it was announced that no |

The stern upbraiding of the govern
ment by papers that almost for n CEN
utry have been conservative has al
ready been touched upon III these dis
patches. Abuse OF the War Office has
always existed. and now it is only
few degrees more bitter than it was
before. What chiefly marks the passing
of the British from Il period of passive
discomfort to most severe fault-finding
Is the outspoken abuse of their gene
rails in the field. There are unpleasant
stories of fierce service. jealousics and,
in short, all the army's shortcomings.
which heretofore have been secretly
whispered in clubs, are this week find
ing their place in print, and not in dis
reputable journals. but in organs that
n month ago would have fercely de-
nounced such tales as unpatrioiic,
whether they were true or otherwise.
1t is now well known that General Bull
Ter despises Field Marshal Lord Rob-
erts and hates General Lord Kitchener;
that Lord Wolse!ey, the communicating
chief shares General Buffers feelings.
and that Wolseley is scarcely on speak
ing terms With the Secretary OF State
FOR War, Lord Lansdowne
THE ENEMY'S EXTENT.
To such a fragrant extent does this
enmity go that Lord Wolsaley wrote to
Lady Butler that he knew nothing
about Lord Roberts appointment to
command the British troops in South
Africa, and that he disapproved of 1t.
Without enormous obstacles to over
come in the way of the Beers strenu-
Gus resistance and Initial advantages,
this condition of affairs between the
army leaders would constitute q stu
pendous drawback to the success of tho
British. One paper, usually we'll in
formed on service matters, declares 1t
