PREPARING FOR MORE FRAUD,

PREPARING FOR MORE FRAUD.
II is judged from the utterances--
always through the news oolumns-of
that organ Of Political Prosecutors. the
Courier-Journal, that the Democrats
are preparing for more political trials
before that august. renowned and very
indispensable Judge Cantrill. The O.
J. has already begun to forecast, in a
way, what will be done, and as straws
show which way the wind blows, il is
inferred that the @. ]. has indisputa-
BILE assurance that Judge Cantrill, at
the next trials of Caleb Powers and
others, will follow his iron-clad Gus
tom Of refusing to vacate the bench
and allow the accused to get fair tri-
al. The two arguments advanced in
favor of Judge Csntrili's imposing
additional outrages on the name of
Justice in Kentucky are that the court
of appeals that reversed the ccnspirs-
cy trials was Republican, intimsting
that the Democrats would not be so
unkind as TO say that Judge Cantrill
should not preside in the cases; and
that Colonel Campbell says in his brief
filed before the new court for hear
ing, that there was not legal and
substantial reason assigned in the AFT
davit of Mr.. Powers as TO why Judge
Cantrill should vaoate the bench, "and
that "a careful reading Of the record
will not disclose a single utteranoe by
the trial judge which could in any
way be tortured into animadversion
upon the appellant.
Then they have Youtsey hauled
before the grand jury. and before he
has been examined announce in the
headlines Of the various papers in the
Organized Association Of Political
Prevaricstors, Youtsey Tells 1t All"
and kindred misleading assertions
not sustained by the facts so far as
they are now known.
This is very significant. 1t is
paving the way for the gangs subse-
.quent contemplated outrages on jus
-tice. Democracy is on the wane in
Kentucky. The Democrats have seen
it for several years past. and are now
dependent only on the Goebel law,
which enables them to steal what they
can't get honestly: and on the polit-
ical persecution of Republicans chsrg-
ed with being implicated IN conspir-
acy that never existed and which they
know never existed, to fan the flame
of prejudice in the breasts Of the
thougntless ignorant.

DEMOCRATIC ROTTEN
NESS EXPOSED.

NESS EXPOSED.
While Hon. John X. Hendrick an
nounces that he has no intention ofwith
drawing from tine race for the Demo-
cratic gubernstorial nomination, it is
g vident from the tenor of his numer-
Gus interviews given out lately that
he will withdraw il u primary is held.
He himself declares that it would be
suicidal for person not on the slate
to go into the primary, for he would
get nothing and lose time and money
for his pains. 1t is not clear how he
reasons it out, unless it be On the pre-
sumption that tine head of the Demo-
cratic party in the state Of Kentucky,
the executive committee, is base in
its motives and dishonest in its inten-
tions, and that 1t will fix up primary
In which the will of the voters will be
ruthlessly overthrown. This is a grave
accusation to come from one Democrat
against another, and especially against
the head CT the state organization,
but the Democrats ought to know
each other about as well as the Re-
publicsns know them. II Mr.. Hen
driok has no intention Of intimating
anything of the kind, however, and
believes in the integrity of his par
tvs principal representatives, then
he ought not object to submitting
his claims to the voters IN the man
ner prescribed by them, and abide by
what the majority says. Mr.. Hen
drick also objects TO the making of a
platform by the executive committee.
Isn't every political platform made
of stereotyped material, and by few
men, and wouldn't practically the
same men. the pothouse politicians,
make the platform in convention:
We are glad to see Mr.. Henderick so
voluble, however, for 1t is harmon
izlng the Democratic party in a most
beautiful manner, and is showing up
the rottenness of the party, from the
organization itself to the boilers. 1t
is merely corrborating what the Re-
publicans have long told the people
was true of the Democratic politici-
ans. They are all cut for pie, and

Robert A. Pearson, member Of the
fourth class from Concord, N. H., and
Francis @. Blssdel, Of New York. the
former is in the hospital with q brok-
en- Jaw and Blasdel is locked up. The
affair occurred last Sunday night, and
was the result OF Pearson's refusal TO
be hszed by upper class men. The up.
per class men had been running"
him, and some time ago he IL said to
have tainted under the ordeal He
was accused Of cowardice and was re-
CURED to fight third class man.
Blasdel was pitted against him and in
the first round broke Pearsons jaw.
The latter, however, continued to fight
until the fifth round, when q first class
man present stopped the contest.
1t is reported that a first class man
was referee and that seconds were
chosen ty the men from their respeo-

under arrest and others connected
with the affair probably will be ar

A BRUTAL MURDER
Choctaw Indians Clubbed a Hunter
to Death.
The Body Was Then Riddled with
Bullets-One Indian a Scholar

South M'Alester, I. T., Jan. ia
most shocking murder, entaihng all
the brutality Of savagery, was commit
ted last week near Atoks for which
ten Indians were arrested and placed
in the Federal jail here today.
A party of hunters, composed of
Douglass Allen, Horace Allen and
John Scarberry, all white men, were
camping in the woods trapping game.
A band OF ten full.blooded Chootow
Indians came 20 the camp and de-
msnded the guns and game about the
camp in exchange for the hogs, which
the Ipdians accused the hunters OF
stealing from them. An alteration
arose and Ellis Carnes, an intelligent
college bred Indian, sprang at Doug
lass Allen, dealing him a terrific
blow over the head with his dubbed
Winchester. Carnes then shot at
Horace Allen, hitting him in the
hand. Horace Allen and his compan.
ion. scarberry. then fed amid rain
Of bullets from the Indians. They
went TO Atoka, and informed the off,
GERS.
A horrible sight was witnessed by
the officers when they reached the
camp The body of Douglass Allen
was found riddled with bullets, his
skull fractured and eyes torn from
their sockets. The body was other
wise mutilated after the most horrible
fashion of ancient savagery.
Horace Allen described two Of the
men in the party so accurately that
the officers Immediately affected their
arrest. one Of them, Ellis Carnes,
confessed. He says that his party
found indications about the camp to
satisfy them that the white men
had been Strengthening their hogs, and
when they made the charge, Douglass
Allen started to shoot him with q
Winchester. He says he struck Al.
len with the gun purely in self-de-
Tense, and also admits that he shot
Horace Allen through the hand. when
asked to tell who were his companions
the murderer asked for Q note book,
and prepared list of the nine men
who accompanied him.
The murderer is far above the aver
age full-blood in intellect. The nc.
completes of Carnes, who have been
arrested are: Lake ostah, Daniel
Drew, Aaron Colbert, Marvin Thomp.

WILL HAVE THEIR SAY.

We are glad to see the Republican
aldermen standing up for their
rights. The Republicans Of Psducah
include some of the best and most
prominent business men and some Of
the heaviest taxpayers, VINO have long
been entitled to some representation
in the municipal boards. Some of
the Democrats have now raised howl
about introducing politics into munic-
ipal legislative boards. It is absurd
for them to make the claim that
there was no politics during Demo
Garlic administrations. There was pol
itics Just the ssme-sll Democratic
politics. As long as they could have
their own way and fill every office,
there was no necessity for introduce
ing politics other than Democratic
politics, into municipa boards, but
when the Republicans became numer-
Gus enough in Paducah to put up
good fight for city Offices, they be-
gan to decry against introducing
politics.
What Republican has ever been APP
pointed or elected under Democratic
administration in Psducah? What
representation have the Republican
taxpayers and voters in Paducah ever
had under Democratic administra-
tions? Certainly not much. IL any.
When the Republican council went
into office, ii was disposed to be fair.
A number CT Democrats were elected
to Office under the Republican coun-
Gil. Among them were: City attorney,
Id. Husbands; city engineer, James
Wilcox; assistant FIRE chief. VIM. Au.
gustus; city treasurer. John Donovan I;
wharfmaster, 8. A. Fowler; assistant
assessor, ]. V. Greif market master,
John Smith, son of one Of the present
Democratic aldermen; and overseer Of
the chain gang. Albert Senser, who
afterwards snapped places with po-
lice officer and is now . policeman I'M
der the present administration.
This shows that the Republican
council was willing for good men to
hold office, irrespective of politics, o
principle that the Democrats have ap-
parently never recognized in Padu-
cab. This shows also, that the Re-
publicans havo never desired to play
at politics when legislating for the
city, ana they are not trying to do it
now in insisting on their rights in
the board of aldermen.
The Republicans are willing to sub
NIT for comparison for ability. integ-
rity,snd business qualifications their
four members with those Of the Dem
ocrats, in electing a president of the
board. The Republicans are there as
representatives of the people, and are
there TO help stop the extravaganza
aud illegal practices of an admins
tration that has proven itself totally
indifferent to the interests of the
people. In the effort to elect a
president Of the board, the Republi-
can aldermen took the stand they
did believing that they are entitled
to as much consideration as their
Democratic colleagues. and that it
was not riEht to expect them to give
mp the control of both boards to the
