MINISTERS MAKE
EXTREME DEMANDS.

They want High License for Bar
rooms In Augustn.
Augusta, oct. 1.-THE Ministerial
Alliance tonight threw down the
gauntlet to the City Council in straight
forward fashion. AT a meeting called
to hear their demands they announce
ed that they demanded a license OF
1000 for every barroom, that the sa-
looms be restricted to Broad street be-
tween Center and Marbury, a district
Of five blocks length, and that bars
be allowed to have no screens nor
painted windows. The liquor men an
nounced that they would like 20 re-
ply and the meeting was adjourned
without any action being taken. This
means that the prohibition fight will
be waged In earnest. II Is conceded
that the Ministers demands are ex-
cesslve and will be turned down by
Council. The preachers have stated
that II Council refused them they would
enter the campaign next year and the
fight is on.

Columbia, S. c., Oct. 14.-At 1870
o'clock tonight Gov. Hayward an
nouneed that he would tomorrow
commute the death sentence of Hoyt
Hayes to life Imprisonment IN the PEN
itentiary This action was based prin-
cipally on the decision Of an expert ex-
aminer of questioned handwriting.
Hayes had been convicted In Oconee
county Of having killed his wife. and
the evidence was purely circumstan-
tial, with nothing 20 show motive and
for that reason II appeared 70 the Gov
ernor that there might be cause for
doubt The statement Of the expert
increases that feeling Of doubt to such
an extent that Gov. Hayward is un-
willing 70 see the man suffer the death
penalty. on the other hand he does
not grant an unconditional pardon. for
the reason that there are so many cir
eumstances unfavcrabe to the accused
that communication Of sentence seems
TO him to be the only alternative
The main evidence on which the Gov
errors action Is taken, was a note
produced by the defense purporting TO
have been written by the dead woman,
which indicates that she took her own
life instead Of being murdered by her
husband. This note Is as follows.

DRASTIC MEASURES
FOR FAIR ELECTION.
rammany Hall Calls Meeting to
Insure Rights of Voters.


New York, Oct. 14.-Voicing the OBJ
lection of Tammany Hall to the chal-
longing of Democratic voters I'm this
city by state superintendent of Elec-
lions Morgan, Charles +. Murphy to-
night says:
ITO make insstent our right to
honesty in registration, voting and
counting, /, as the representative OF
the Executive Committee In this coun-
ty, have called that committee to meet
at o'clock tomorrow morning I'm con-
junction with the Law Committee, so
that definite action may be taken for
the protection of all voters, whether
Democratic Republican, Prohibitionist,
Socialist or Populist.
Never before In the history of Tam
many Hall has 1t been necessary to
call such a meeting, but it has become
absolutely necessary to take drastic
measures to protect the franchise and
the rights of all voters and that will
be done We viii station competent
watchmen In the polling places and see
that every man Is accorded his legal
rights. We are resolute I'm our deter
mination TO secure an absolutely fair
election, and to thwart the desperate
efforts of the Republican state machine
TO steal this election. no matter how
efficient and cunning they have been
at that business in the past"
Gov. Odell, who is also chairman OF
the Republican State Committee, when
asked about the matter, said he had
appointed between 5000 and 1000 peo-
pie at the polls and registration booths.
This would be an average of about
seven men In each registration place.
The Governor said that challenge lists
have been made and were being fol-
lowed carefully to see that none on
the lists were allowed to register I'M

the high office he seeks.
What Democracy Means.
Against the self-seeking, the con-
cet, the Impotence of legal and con-
ventional restraints, the devouring am
bition. which are at the bottom of such
candidacy, the Democratic party
protects not in words merely but by
the very character of it's nominee for
the presidential office. 1t not only an
tagonizes Republican policies as al
ready described-it submits to the
judgment and conscience of the Amer
lean people that, whatever be the poll
eies, the Republican candidate for the
presidency has demonstrated his unfit
ness to be the head and the official
representative of a free, a law-abiding
and a peace-loving people.
The Party's Nomineee.
In it's own nominee, it presents
a candidate who is the exact antithesis
of the Republican candidate; a man
of modesty and self-restraint; not
glorifier of war, but a representative
of the absolute supremacy of law
which Is the very climax of the trl-
umphs of peace: not a seeker Of Of
flee, but sought for by it; a man by
nature and training and experience
IENcIEHLidl u lHE IOnSAilullDl anu
laws and sure to be governed by them
himself and to insist that all others
shall be; man who may be relied
upon to recognize the people as the
source of all political power and him
self not as their boss or over-lord, but
as simply the agent and exponent of
their will; a man not compelled to re-
pudiate his convictions as a private
citizen and public expounder of econ
omic and political truths in order to
justify his acts as national executive
and keep his place as a party candi-
date; a man. in short who will model
himself upon Washington and our
other great Presidents and not upon
the Emperors and autocrats of the
present day.
Between candidates and parties OF
these vitality different types II is now
for the voters OF the country to make
choice-a choice momentous for its in
huence upon the fortunes OF the
American people and upon the future
of free institutions the world over.
