The Elbert County tribune., 1904-08-18


A great body of conservative Demo-
Gratis of the state are showing unmis-
taxable signs of revolt against this
combination with the forces of discon-
tent and disorder. The law and order
sentiment which was already strong
among the conservative Democrats has
recently received an additional impetus
by the desertion of Judge X. r. Babbitt
and Senator Barela. who have issued
open letters announcing their with
drawal from the Democratic party on
the law and order issue. In addition to
this. the publication of the long record
of outrages and murders committed by
the Western Federation of Miners dur
ing the past ten years has had the ef
feet of strengthening and crystallizing
the law and order element among the
Democrats, which has brought revolt
of very alarming proportions. Instead
of the noisy demand for such radical.
semi-Socialists as Judge Theron Stew
ems and Judge w. p. Seeds, these men
have been dropped and the candidate
makers have gone to the opposite ex-
IRENE and are strenuously urging the
nomination of Charles j. Hughes,
one of the most prominent and success
full corporation lawyers in the state.
Corporation Democrats are ardent
supporters of the Hughes idea. These
men represent the predatory wealth"
class of the Democratic party. As this
element is forced to be guided by the
wishes of the radicals, the nomination
of Mr.. Hughes is an extremely remote
possibility. Every indication points to
the nomination by the Democrats of
some unknown statesman from the ru-
raj districts. whose opinion upon the
issues of the day are unknown and
would be of no consequence il known
In following this course. the Democrats
would be adopting the policy of the
national party in the selection of Judge
Parker. and would undertake. as Judge
Parker is doing. to make the radical
and conservative elements believe that
he represents their views. Judge Ow-
ers assures his friends that he will be
a candidate for governor. 1t is under
stood that II the fusion deal goes
through. he wiz be a mere figurehead

and will receive perhaps one or two
thousand votes. II the Democrats re-
fuse the bait. Overs Will undoubtedly
poll the full Socialist-Popultst vote.

grain business. Lingle, too, is In the
business of buying grain. The scales
in Stanhope. which are generally used
by the farmers for the weighing Oh
their grain, are owned by a large num-
Der of the farmers in partnership. \
charge of so much per car is made Tor
the handling Of grain and other pro-
duce. Owing to some trouble between
Linge and the farmers owning the
scales. the latter had forbidden LinB!e
the use of the scales. The latter for
some reason or other, laid TINS 10 the
influence of Brewer, because the Two
are engaged In rival business enter
prises. Brewer, as street commits
sioner, had also been ordered to clean
a lot used by Lingle and failing TO 90
it. the owner had done 1t. This ana
some other things had caused bad ploou
between them.
Tuesday evening as Brewer was pass
ing Lingle's place of residence, the
latter accosted him. He had stone
in his hands 1T is alleged and started
in upon Brewer by accusing him or
'having 1t in" for him and WORKING
against him. This Brewer denied ana
after a few more words Lingle is al
legged to have hurled the stone he had
in his hand at Brewers head. Inc
blow knocked the latter down and then
Lingle lis alleged to have jumped upon
him and pummelled him with the
stone on the back Of the head.
At the hearing yesterday, the stone
used was placed in evidence. 1t weighs
four and half pounds. There is
ring of bruises all around Brewers
head and bad bruise on the crown,
where it is feared the skull may be
fractured. Brewer himself was the
only witness examined. After County
Attorney Blake had examined him, ).

Jury IN the sum Of $500.

that William j. Bryan Is the man who
can reconcile the dissatisfied democrats,
He has summoned Bryan to New Yorh
and when the Nebraskan arrives here
he Will be asked to make several
speeches In the east where democrats
are going over to the populists ana
socialists in large numbers. Mr.. Tag
CART thinks that Bryan will do any
thing that Is asked Of him, especially
II 1t Will benefit the national ticket.
Mr.. Taggart therefore, will probably
rearrange Mr. Bryan's stumping pro-
gram, and the Nebraskan will make
more speeches than even Judge Par
ker, William II. Sheehan and Mr.. Tag
