VOTING TODAY.

Men and women, aliens, Hitter
ates, taxpayers, and non-taxpay-
ers property owners and pau
pers in fact if not in law, civil
lied Indians, the sons OF their
fathers and the grandsons OF the
grandfathers voted for President
today. The women Of Colorado,
Idaho, Wyoming and Utah have
the right to vote for President,
but in all the other States the
women are denied it. Aliens who
have declared their intention to
become citizens may vote in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kan
sas. Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon,
South Dakota, Texas and Wiscon-
sin. In some Of these States the
intention must have been declar-
ed a year before the election; In
others much less; in Nebraska
only thirty days. The alien, OF
course, may change his mind af-
ter the election and fail to take
out his, papers-but he has
shared the right of native-born
and duly naturalized citizens to
determine who the Chief EXecu-
tive of the United States shall be,
who shall govern the States, and
who shall 60 to the State and
National Legislatures to make
the laws. He may have been
bribed to declare his intention to
become a citizen for the sole pur-
pose of sharing in that right
with the native-born and the
duly naturalized.
In some of these States the vo-
ter must be registered; IN others,
registration is not necessary. In
some States a citizen cannot vote
unless he has paid a poll tax; IN
Delaware he must pay a regis
tration fee" of one dollar. In
Georgia, if he is taxable, ne
must have paid all his taxes due
since 1877. In Virginia, where
poll tax is a requisite, it is walv-
ed in the case of those who serv-
ed in the army or navy OF the
United States or the Confederate
States. In some of the Southern
States which have adopted new
constitutions to reduce negro
suffrage to the minimum the vo-
ter must be able to read or write,
or must own $500 worth of prop
erty, or be the son or grandson
of a citizen who was entitled to
vote on January l, 1867 (the
grandfather clause.)
Massachusetts requires capac-
ity to read and write, but many
of the States do not. A great
many thousands of citizens who
went to the polls today are un-
able to read or write. There will
probably be 125,O00 of them in
Texas alone, but Delaware, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Hi
nois. and a great many other
States permit the illiterate to
flock to the polls with voters who
make up theip minds how they
will cast their ballots after read
ING the daily newspapers. In
many cases these illiterates are
the tools of scomdrels who per-
vert and debuach the suffrage.
The "ciyilized Indian" before re-
ferred to is one who has severed

It is obvious that women who
can vote for President in only
four minor States, and aliens,
who are allowed to vote IN at
least ten States, might decide a
close election.

CHARACTERISTIC NONSENSE

Itisa peculiar thing that every pa per in Alaska that favors territorial government is edited by man who never saw the great interior of Alaska and everyone who has seen Alaska and travelled over it as the senatorial com mittee did, are opposed to it-Valdez Prospector.
 The Prospector's statement is char acteristic of the monarchistic press of Alaska in that it is without foundation in fact. Itis not true that none of the editors Of papers which are tavoring territorial government for this district have never been in the Alaskan inter- for, but i, would have no bearing on the question ii it were true. The fact that che thousands who live in the great interior country are themselves favorable Go territorial government is indicative of wha, che conditions of that section require.

MAN KILLED
Adam GoldWOTthy Burned
 to Death

Adam Goldworthy, a Henderson creek miner, was burned to death in the Reindeer roadhouse, near Dawson, about two weeks ago. The discovery of the tragedy resulted from the report of teamsters, who, in passing the site of the roadhouse, found it had been re- duced to a lot of smoking embers. An unfed and unblanketed horse stood shiv- ering in the barn, showing 1t had been left longer than intended by its master.
 The teamsters reported the details of their find to the police at Indian river crossing. Constable Gervaise was im- mediately detailed from that post to make an investigation of the theory that someone had been burned to death in the fire.
 By the time the constable reached the scene the ashes were cold, aud he had no difficulty in searching them. He had not proceeded far with the work when he came across the charred corpse Of Goldworthy.

president on the first ballot. Parker
received Cos votes on the first ballot.
Idaho changed her six votes, giving
him G64 votes, and West Virginia
added three votes, giving him the
667 votes, or two-thlrds necessary.
Champ Clark moved that the nomIna-
tion be made unanimous. Amid the
widest enthusiasm the nomination
was made unanimous and the conven-
ton adjourned until 2 O'Clock Satur-
day afternoon One of the greatest
features of the session was the master
ful address of Bryan, who was
listened to by the vast audience with
more attention than any man who
spoke dufing the convention.
At the last session of the convention
held Saturday and Saturday night
Henry Davis, Of West Virginia. was
nominated for vice-president on the
fist ballot. Davis is a railroad pres
ident, banker, coal operator and
former United States Senator.
Early Saturday morning Parker
sent telegram to the convention
stating that he regarded the gold
standard as fixed and irrevocaply es-
tablisned, and would act in accordance
with his views if elected. The ines
sage caused a general commotion at
the con 7ention. After a long debate
the convention replied to Parker that
his views were not inconsistent with
his acceptance of the nomination, and
this answer was overwhelmingly
adopted.

A Sustaining Deit.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
the sunstroke as If the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our read:
ers, that the full effect of Hoods Sar-
saparilla is such as to suggest the pro-
priety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and ton
ic,-say, sustaining deit. 1t makes
1t much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.

Last Wednesday was the opening
day of the Democratic nation
al convention, 10, 600 people be-
ing seated in the great co liseum at
st. Louis when the meeting was
called to order. The feature of the
day was the address of the Hon.
John Sharp Williams, temporary
cha irman of the Democratic National
Convention. With sharp sarcasm he
assailed the official record of the Re-
publican party, and told how the
Democratic party intends to carry
out Jeffersonian precepts in Its
ADM nistration.
The first day marNed the passing of
Organism, although the Nebraskan
was given a number of hearty cheers.
The mention of Cleveland name
evoked a noisy demonstration.
Thursday the efforts of officials to
control the galleries were hopeless,
the day being one of wild disorder.
The Bryan-Hearst combination had
succeeded In packing the convention
hall with 2, 900 or 5000 of their root
ers and hooters, and, according to
some, Bryan received great ovation
when he entered the hall, but 1t was
also plain to many that the ovation
was manufactured, he having received
only the cheers, of the Bryan Hearst
hooters, who had been instructed
to "ralsS as much hi as possible for
Bryan. Tammany resigned to the
Parker programme Thursday and
everything was Parker.
Thursday the Hon. Champ Clark,
who was elected permanent chairman
over Bailey, of Texas, in his speech,
convulsed the convention time and
again with his witty digs at Republi-
cans and Republicanism. During the
day the Kentucky delegation was
busy booming Gov Beckham for

The convention spent the morning
hours Fri day waiting for the report
OF the Committee on Resolutions,
which had been at work for hours on
the platform. A committee was APP
pointed by Chairman Clark to call
on the Resolutions Committee and
learn from them when their report
would be submitted to the conven-
ton. Just before the noon hour, the
conventions emissaries announced
that the Resolutions Committee
would require until s O'Clock p. m.
to prepare its report. but that the
action of the committee would be
unanimous and a platform submitted
winch. he declared, would bring the
party glorious victory" The con-
vention then took a recess until 8
o clock
Beginning at O'Clock FRIDAY even
ing the convention held an all-night
session. The platform was read and
adopted soon after the opening OF
the session, but the nominations were
not made until :39 O'Clock Saturday
morning, when Judge Alton B. Parker,
