The Presidential Situstion.

A news dispatch from Wash
ington says: The presidential
candidate situation is again agi-
tating the solons here at the
National Capital. The death of
Senator Hanna has clarified the
atmosphere as far as the Repub-
tican situation is concerned, and
there is no longer any doubt that
President ROosovels will be the
nominee of the Republican con-
vention. This is conceded on all
sides and by all republicans. The
only question now coming before
the people here who are active
in politics is, who will be the
nominee of the Democratic party.
A good many Of the men who,
six months and oven six weeks
ago laughed at the Hearst boom,
now are looking serious and admit
that they will have TO reckon with
the Hearst movement as one Of
the serious factors in the Demo-
cratic convention. 1t practically
has narrowed itself down to q
fight of the field against Mr..
Hearst, They see that he has
made and is making such inroads
into the rank and file of the Dem
ocratic party that they must do
something to stop the movement
or it will be Hearst on the first
ballot.

mob At NEWPORT.
Sheriff Bandy Saves Negro Whose
Guilt Was Not Estlblished.


was shocked Saturday night to
hear that black fiend had at
tempted to assault one Of this
city's most popular young ladies',
Miss Emma Beard. She was re-
turning home about $50 o'clock
when a negro, who had been fol-
loving her, grabbed her and tried
to drag her into a nearby alley.
Her screams for help and efforts
at resistance were successful, and
she managed to make her escape
from his clutches.
In a few hours the whole city
was up in arms, and the houses
Of negroes were searched wher-
ever it was thought the guilty
brute might have hidden.
A report was received from
Alicia that night that suspicious
n egro had jumped from a north
bound train there and taken to
the woods, without coat or shoes.
The sheriff and g party Of citi-
zens went 10 Minturn Sunday
morning, where Bush Duggott
was captured and brought to This
city. He claimed five trainmen
had taken his coat and shoes and
scared him into Jumping off by
asserting that he was the guilty
negro. Duggett was seen IN a
saloon here after the crime. He
was examined by the sheriff, who
does not believe that he is the
guilty negro. There are many
facts in his favor.
This was hot the popular i'm
preston, however, and a mob OF
over a hundred stormed the jail
Saturday night about II O'Clock
with the purpose Of lynching
Duggett.
Sheriff Bandy threw himself
against the door, and facing the
threatening mob, implored them
to await better proof before
avenging this awful crime. Elo-
quently and with great force did
he full fill his full duty as sheriff
in defense of the prisoner, ex-
horting his hearers TO disbane
and await the developments OF
the morrow, promising to keep in
close custody and within the con-
fines of the Newport Jail the
sought-for prisoner.
One armed though he was, and
necessary as was the remaining
member to him, he said he would
rather lose it than see the mob
wreak vengeance upon a negro
whose guilt was not established.
With tears in his eyes and his
voice trembling with emotions he
| finally broke down, but he had
conquered the spirit Of the mob.
Smell Simmons and C. W. Beard,
brother of young Miss Beard,
came to his support, advising
caution, for fear Of hanging an
innocent man.
A vote was taken and two
thirds Of the mob declared against
lynching. The officers are now
after d negro named Bud Taylor,
who better answers to the de-
soription given by the young lady.
Ia response to an urgent re-
quest of the mayor, all the sa-
looms are closed and the business
men arg trying to hold public,
feeling in check, which has been
evidenced by the crowds of coun-
trymon gathered about the jail

The bogie man of the tall tower is
showing his teeth. So far it has only
been a molar exhibition.
Mr. Cowles' Friday man and others
connected with the board of collabor-
alton have been working for two days
to induce the prosecuting attorney Of
the county to authorize the issuance
of warrants for the arrest of some
one connected with The Press.
According to the representations
made to Horace Kimball, it made no
difference to the gang from the tall
tower whether the warrants were is
sued for the owner, the editor, the
reporter. the printer or the Office boy.
All they asked was that some one
connected with The Press be arrese ted
for criminal libel.
MIR. Kimball has had to stand for a
great many sins of others. He has
had to stand, in the past, for things
which the morning and evening edi-
tions Of the tower dailies printed
about him. At one time Mr. Kimball
was forced to boycott both editions
in order to keep his family from read

Yet the tall tower figured out that
the prosecuting attorney would do
what was right" Mr.. Kimball re-
fused to issue the warrants.
When the tall tower gang left they
spread it broadcast on the streets
that Mr.. Kimball was afraid to take
any action at their behest because of
the nearness of the campaign. That
was the vilest, lowest slander which
the tall tower has sprung on the
prosecuting attorney.
Horace Kimball has proved HIM
self a fearless prosecutor. He has
shown at all times that he is ready
to take up the prosecution of cases
regardless of who the defendants
were. But Mr.. Kimball has also
shown that he has a will Of his own
and has refused at various times to
allow his Office to be used for politi-
cal purposes.
That's why the tall tower gang
failed to have anyone connected with
The Press arrested for criminal libel.
The Press reiterates that William
III. Cowles' representatives bought
and bribed the members Of the board
of equalization.
