j. Seay. who was in the city this week
on business mission takes exceptions
to the headlines in local weekly news
paper. which states relative TO the Dem

The ex-governor was a soldier in the civil
war and won distinction in a number Of
battles He has always been known as
one of the most patriotic of men. ard
his utterances are always given attention
by the citizens of the territory.
1T is a mystery to me" said the ex-
governor. how in the world the man who
wrote the headlines in that paper made
such a grievous blunder 1t is in direct
opposition TO the history of the man
whom they nominated for congress. We
are told that he had a father in the Con-
federate army and entered himself a an
early age to fight on that side. At that
time the Nations Patriots were known
as Niger Lovers. Niger Thieves Black
Republicans and 'Lincolns Hirelings.
The man whom the Democrats nominated
we understands makes q boast that he
was on the other side. and now that a
paper IS supporting him. should call this
convention one OF the Nations Patriots.
it is a grievous blunder indeed"

parent from the fact that Dragomiroff.
governor general of Kien; POearcen. vice
director of the department of police. and
other officials have joined Won Plehwe,
the minister Of the interior, at Krark0ff.
The Voronje sugar refineries have es-
pecially suffered from the outbreak dur
ing which the Duke of Oldenburgs es-
tate was dismantled. II now develops
that the agitdtors who are chiefly re-
sponsible for the spread of the revolu-
tiOnary movement among the hungry
peasants used a curious political canard
10 bring the former serfs and the land
owners into collision. rumor was in
dustriousIy circulated that the car had
ordered the lands Of the mobiles TO be
divided among the emancipated serfs.
The peasants thereupon formed commit
tees. under the commune officials. which
waited on the land owners and ordered
them to vacate the land withheld from
the peasants. chose crown agents and
proceeded to distribute the land and NOV
ables. leaving the nobies from - 10 %

gravity until the authorities interfered.
