"NEFARlOUS" MARCUM.
Rutherford Makes a Plain
Statement.

Editor Muskogee Times.--I do
not care to impose upon the liber-
ality of the Times, nor infict up
on the public reply" to "Mar-
GUMS reply" further than to say
that the reputed record from which
the colonel quotes concerning me
is fabrication Of garbled utteran-
ces used in legal argument before
Commissioner Samson, and the
quotation is as falsesin fact as the
purpose of the colonel is nefarious
and reprehensible. He seeks by
this means to detrsct from the
merits Of his honorable opponent,
DR.. Wolverton, who, on the other
hand, using his own words, says,
II have never made the harsh in
situations against the democracy
or integrity Of my opponent
Now, 50 far as | am concerned,
the colonel is entitled to all the
comfort such methods May afford
him. Bat were 1t true, | am con-
strained to doubt whether the vag-
aries and idle vaporings of the col
onel have sufficiently clouded the
intelligence = excited the imagi-
nation of the territory democracy
to convince them that Dr. Wolyer-
ton is in any way responsible for
my opinions or short comings.
Again, it strikes me as very I'M
becoming for the colonel to say
anything about the Cleveland off,
cials, for il is well knewn fact
that he exerted every effort in his
power to become one of them, and
it is not hard to believe that his
enmity toward them, and sarcastic
criticism can be attributed more
largely to his disappointment than
to any other cause. DIR. Wolver-
ton is making an honorable race,
asking the support of the people
upon his own merits and not upon
the dement's Of his opponent and
as evidence of the fact invite the
attention Of the people to his ut
terances and printed circulars.
he has been life long consistent
democrat. absolutely in harmony
with his party on all questions;
was an original free silver demo-
crat and has been consistent in his
views upon that subject ever since,
Notwithstanding the insinuations
that have been made to the con-
trary by Col. Marcum. Can the
colonel say as much?
Now | feel certain that people
will not suffer the colonel to di-
vert their thoughts from the main
question-the fitness Of the two
candidates-by bis persistent ef-
forts to lug In collateral security.

BOSTOCK'S GRAND SPECTACLE
Some of the Features of the Big Show
That VIII Form Part ofthe
Elks' Carnival.

Hundreds OF people have inquired
what composes the great Frank B Bos-
took Midway Carnival, which is coming
to Wilmington next Monday, as part
of the ,Elks' Carnival and Street Fair
The wild animals alone form big show.
With three great shaggy, forest bred
African lions, lordly monarchs of the
animal creation, Capt. Wilhelm Cardono
the king of lion tanners, exhibits animal
subjugation in its most advanced form.
Emerson, Gladstone and Leo are
their names, and although subiugated,
they are majestically submissive, obey
ing the command OF their intrepid
trainer with a Glow deliberation which
shows their brute courage even though
subordinate to the will of he who with
cut tremor takes his life in his own
hands every time he enters their pres
euce. In striking contrast with the
sneaking, cowardly leopards, do these
mighty kings of the forest lash their
sides with their ponderous tails,
open-mouthed advance on their
trainer until with mighty exertion
of mind and eve he holds them SPELL
bound, subjngated, but not conquered,
obedient, but not cowed. Both Emerson
and Gladstone are famous--or, rather
Infamous man-killers. No less than
four trainers have already sacrificed their
lives in the very same performances
Captain Cardono is now presenting. A
torn and mangled cripple in New
York infirmary bespeaks the ferocity OF
Leo.
Madame Clio, the worlds most grace
full, most accomplished and most charm
ing serpent enchantress, is another of
the intrepid aggregation whose acts in
spire awe. Graceful in action, charming
in modesty and fearless while handling
the most deadly and venomous speci.

daring lady presents an act OF which the

MOVES FROM PARTY TO PARTY
From the smyrna Call.

From the Smyrna Call.
Probably one Of the saddest journals
tic spectacles we now have is the case Of
Mr.. George Carter the present editor of
Col. duPont's Evening Journal. For
many years George was rough and
tumble rooter and all around Tom-tom
about the Democratic show. But when
the old Democratic Evening Journal was
bought by the Col. George passed over
along with the type and presses. This
lusty voice can now be heard above every
other shouter in the DUPONT camp. He
will blow 'em hard as long as he STAYS.
But before the campaign is over we shall
expect to hear his windy voice ralying

Two Inquests Tonight.

Coroner Nandever will hold two in
quests tonight in the Municipal Court
room. One on George Leyrer, who was
stabbed at the Bavarian Brewery, and
the other on Joseph Lango, who was
shot and killed at Wooddale. There
seems to be some question as to what
was the immediate cause OF Leyrer' s
death. An examination had disclosed
the fact that the wound inflicted by
Albert Conrad's knife was healing when
Leyrer was seized with delirium tre-
mems. He became violent, and later
grew weaker and died.

HILL, CROKER. BRYAN.

From the San Francisco Call.
The explanation Of the course taken by

but each thinks that Democracy can
achieve local victories BY standing in
with the Bryanites and holding the party
together Croker believes Tammany can
make doubly sure OF carrying the whole
OF the metropolis of Greater New
York. By eliminating the Chicago
platform and all its follies Hill believes

POET HENLEY'S RAMPAGE
Poetieal Idols are Overthrowing.

OSISAl 1oO4S 2IC SVSItuIO~IAks
Mr.. William Ernest Henley has gone
on the rampage. A recent article from
his pen on the subject of Byron runs
amuck among the literary gods. Moth
ing more iconoclastic hae been done in
criticism since Robert Buchanan at
tended to Kipling as "the voice of the
Hooligan, or, as we should say, Of the
hoodlum. The article in the Pail Mall
Magazine is condensed in the latest
issue of the Literary Digest Mr.. Hen.
Icy declares that Byron compares only
with Carlyle's Gram Dass," who had in
his belly sacred fire enough to burn up
the world. With this ire Byron lighted
q confiagration that has not done blaz-
ing yet. Byron. he declares. had the
poetical temperament as no English
speaking man had it since Shakspere
died. Byron was the man Of his age
and "the men aid women his contem.
poraries were afire with his own IN
rests, rejoiced and were strengthened
in his expression Of them and 60 would
have no other bard but him." Mr..
Henley goes or to rap Macaulay.
"Macaulayis account Of Byron's mes
sage to the world-that you should hate
your neighbor and love your neighbours
wife-is. like 80 much else Of Macaulsy,
the cheapest clsptrap."
Mr.. Henley insists that Byron spoke
to something in the popular heart Of
the tune or else there would have been
no sale of 10000 copies Of The Corsair
10 three days, there would have been no
srsze over LARA" "Parasina," 1.-THE
Giaour" and Tho Siege Of Corinth. I"
After shaping a. some of Mr.. Edward
