The Tragedy in Scott COunty-its Mean
inq-the Remedy.
Bristol. Va, Nov. Is, 1903.

Bristol, Va, Nov. 13, 1903.
The tragedy il Scott county, Virginia,
in which two Democratic judges of elec-
ton were killed and two Republicans
wounded, one probably fatally, has
aroused great deal of discussion and
feeling and an attempt has been made to
the blame the Republicans, while at
the same time counter effort has been
made to excuse the Democrats Of any
fault. Now in the outset / wish to de-
clare in all candor and sincerity that
deeply regret and deplore the resort to
force and the results that have come in
Scott county as aforesaid, but | wish fur
ther to say, all candid, conservative, fair
men, whether Democrats or Republicans,
or otherwise, will admit that such trage-
dies were and are, and will, in all proba'
bility, be inevitable unless different me-
thods, policies and practices are rtsorted
to Hereafter in conducting elections. My
only purpose now is 10 give tine facts and
let the people of all parties see the COLI
ditions, as admitted, and in order to pre-
vent recurrence ofsame 70 forew arm and
thus forearm.
Now let us have the claw respected,
the methods" repudiated and the 'reme'
dy" suggested followed, and l venture the
prediction there will be no repetition OF
what has occurred in Scott county, aud
narrowly averted in Was hington and
other counties this year:
lst. The new constitution haa provided
a new purified white electorate. There is
no longer the pretended excuse tor fraud,
etc., because of the presence of the negro
vote Though the Democrats secured by
divers means the bulk thereof when it
was a factor in this state and the ninth
district j. This s admitted.
2nd. The said constitution was called
into existence in order to eliminate resort
to what was known and admitted as
political cancer destroying the purity and
manhood of Virginia politics and brand
ing our elections with shame, outrage and
ian empty name" This is acknowled'
ged. These methods we're used not only
between Dem ocrats and Republicans, but
between Democrats themselves.

SENATE MINORITY DIVIDED
Democrats Reach no Agreement as to
Attitude on Canal Legislation

Washington, November l6.-Demo'
cratic members of the Senate caucused
from 2:l5 until O'Clock today, bus were
unable to get together on program as to
canal legislation. -Four distinct PROPOSE
tiops we're submitted in the form of reso-
lutions. and many other suggestions were
made informally, but no agreement could
be reached. aud the caucus adjourned to
meet again on call of Senator Gorman'
chairman.
Several Senators on leaving the caucus
bitterly complained of the lack OF mar
mony which prevailed and compared the
Democratic position with the attitude OF
the Repub leans, who they said, with
twice as many representatives, had not q
stragger, while hardly two Democrats
were of the same opinion. Senator Cor
man said of the caucus;
"It was our first powwow in which we
all talked, and we will do our thinking
afterwards"
The resolution which was discussed at
greatest length was offered by Senator
Carmack of Tennessee. 1t declared the
sentiment of the Democrats to be that the
present canal law should be put In opera
ton by the President. The resolution oe'
clared the Spooner act to be present
law" governing the authoritative course
of the United States in regard to the build
ing of a canal, and held that under that
act the President should proceed to the
building of a canal on the Nicarauga and
Costa Rica route. 1t asserted that the
reasonable time" for the acquiring OF
the Panama route lapsed at the death OF
the Hay.Herran treaty, and that the
President consequently was left with 40
alternative but to build the canal on the
more northerly Isthmian route.
In support of this resolution speeches
we're made by Senators Carmack, Teller
Blackburn, Patterson and others. The
speeches were interrupted by Senators
differing with the proposition, the prln'
cipal arguments being made by Senators
Bacon, Clay and Cockrell. 1t was appar'
ent st the outset that a motion of such
radical character could not htrmonlze the
minonity.
Censure for the President for bis alleged
assistance of the Panama revolt, but
pledgng support if canal treaty were
negotiated with the new republic, was the
purport of resolution offered by Senator
Bacon as a substitute for the Carmack
plan. This opposite extreme met immed-
late rejection. 1t was at this point that
some of the Senators Withdrew from the
caucus.

HUNGARY MAY THROW OFF YOKE
Rumor That one of German Princes will
Succeed to Throne Meets With
Favor.

Budapesth, Saturday, Nov. 14.-For a
good many years off and on a rumor has
been current that such and such son of
the German Emperor was learning the
Hungarian language with view to his &C
cession to ,the Hungarian throne on the
death of Francis Joseph. Hundreds OF
thousands of Hungarians firmly believe
something of the kind has been arranged.
A prominent journalist, Karl Jekey, made
the rumor leading subject Of his book.
"The Hungarian Policy of the Hohenzol
lerns," wherein he compares the two
houses greatly to the advantage of the
Hohenzollerns. He urges that no better
thing happened for Hungary than that the
Kaisers son become King He criticises
the Hapsburg reign severely, and dissects
Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand, whom he
compares 10 Nero, and says be is untitled
in every respect to reign over freedom
loving Hungary. The book created a
furore and was read and discussed every
where The government alarmed, sought
to suppress it, and indicted Jekey for lese
majestic. The jury has just acquitted
Jekey, who has become a popular hero,
and will probably enter Parliament. Vien-
nese newspapers Indignantly regret he
was not tried in Vienna so he could have
been sentenced to long term in prison.
The incident is one of the countless in
dicalions that the death of Francis Joseph
will be signal for Hungary to attempt to
throw off the hated Austrian yoke.

What had occurred in Scott county before?
Had that county been free from outrage,
fraud, forge y and he condition herein
before detailed ? The people have not
forgotten the notorious. infamous and ad'
mittedly indefensible "Scott county bal
lot" that disgraced, dishonored and
brought the honest, liberty glowing, con-
seryative men of all parties to feel shame
and humiliation in 1900! That ballot
stands out unique in its bold and brazen
infamy. The people have had so'calIed
Republican judges forced on them despite
their protests.
To make matters worse If that were
possible, resort was had in 1902 to fraud
and forgery to defeat Congressman Slemp
What man has suffered for said crime
And mark you no one denied, nor now
will deny, that same had been done. The
people know that the "Scott county bal
lot" and the admitted "forgeiies' were
not conceived and executed or attempted
by Republicans
The people also know that Scott county
has hundreds of honorable Democrats wh(
baye denounced the same.
