KEPT HIS SELF-RESPECT,

In closing his speech at Nash
vile last Friday night Senator
Carmack said:
"My countrymen, l have but a
few words to say in conclusion.
This has been a campaign of un-
exampled bitterness, but you can
bear witness that for this / am not
to blame. [ have borne and fore
borne where | have been assailed
by some who had, least of all, an
excuse for waging such war of de-
traction.
'"In the beginning Of this con-
test, while feeling deeply the as
saults upon my character by men
who had pledged me their friend
ship, [ resolved to endure with
patience and SO to bear myself as
to retain my self-respect whatever
might be the issue; that there
should be no word or act of mine
Of which my friends would be
ashamed, no memory i'll my own
heart that would add to the bit
terness of defeat or detract from
the honors of victory.
"And here tonight in the clos
ing hours of long and bitter con-
test, l am more proud of the fact
that | have kept this resolve than
Ishall be Of the victory that awaits
us on the morrow. | can say to
you now that in the stiffness of my
chamber, in frank communion
with my own conscience, | can
find no word Of mine that was not
Just and trne; no act Of mine that
stooped below the plane of honor.
81 feel that / ought to say the
same Of my friend, Hon. George
Armistead, whose management of
my campaign has been character
lied not only by wonderful ability,
but by the absolute fairness and
integrity of methods.
"These are the considerations
which took the sting from the
thought of defeat when defeat
seemed possible, and which add
immeasurably to the pleasure of
the victory already won.
SIN this, the last speech of the
campaign, l wish to present my
grateful acknowledgements to as
faithful band of true friends as
ever followed the fortunes of
public man. 1t seems to have
been my fortune to have kept the
friends and the enemies | have
made, and I am content that it
shall be SO.
at has never been my lot to
seek friends among those who had
denounced me with approbious
epitheths or to denounce with
such epithets those who had been
my friends. Whether [ regard
those who surround me or those
who ocomfort me, [ see the old fa-
miliar faces.
II find the virtue Of constancy
in both, and in both applaud it.
| believe L can truly say that no
man ever had more devoted friends
or friends more unselfish in their
devotion-who gave more freely of
their love and service and asked
SO little in return. The memory
Of their devotion will sweeten all
the remaining years of my life, be
they many or few, and bloom like
unfading flowers to make fragrant
and beautiful whatever paths i
may have to tread.
"And so with heart full of
gratitude toward my friends and
of charity to my enemies, | bid

THE SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

VAO oJdJe lnulCat0 that the total
vote in the Senatorial primary
election last Saturday was about
f23,O0O, of which number ex-G Gov
ernor r. L. Taylor received about
$4,000 votes and Senator Carmack
about $4,000 Taylor's estimated
majority in the State is 7,15l.
In Benton County the unofficial
returns are given at LOLA, divided
as follows: Taylor 649 and Car
mack 1868.
1t is rather striking fact that
Taylor received approximately the
vote given him by Carmack's S sup
porters in the county. In poll
OF the county i'll January it was
found that about 600 voters were
opposed to Taylor under any con-
sideration, and nearly 65 per cent
of this vote was outspoken for the
Senator. The estimated vote for
Taylor at that time was 65Q The
unofficial returns show that Tay-
lor received practically his full
strength in the county, while sew
eral hundred voters did not go to
the polls.
That this was true is shown by
the vote for Bryan in 1896, which
was l 1854, showing that more than
$50 voters failed to exercise their
privilege as Democrats. This can
DE accounted for to some extent
by the fact that the Populist in
fiuence was indifferentto to Carmack
and large per cent would not
support Taylor.
Several incidents contributed to
the result in this county. What
is known as the "wet" vote was
practically solid for Taylor. This
gives color to the statement Of the
ex-governor in the beginning of
thercampaign that Carmack was a
defeated man already, as the sa-
loon influence of the entire State
was against him.
This was not only evident IN
Benton County, but the same is
true of the State. In Davidson
County Taylor's majority is ap-
proximately the same that McMil-
lin received two years ago in the
race against Senator Bate. 1t had
been evidentall along that McMil-
Inns influence in the State was for
Taylor, in fact lit has been gener-
ally understood among the politi-
clans that there is+a compact be-
tween Taylor and McMillin to aid
each other to secure the two Sen
.atorial togas by defeating Carmack
and Frazier.
Another significant feature of
the election, taken in connection
with the above, is that in those
sections Of the State where the
temperance element predominates
.Carmack received substantial ma
,jorities.
Contrary to the much-quoted
statement that Taylor was the can
didate of the common people, or,
as some of the governors support
,ers term them chill billies," Car
mack run better in the country
districts than. he did in the cities
and towns. "In fact" says the
Nashville American, "outside OF
Memphis, the home of the Sena-
tor, the cities and towns generally
gave pluralities to Taylor. It
seems that the labor and the liquor
votes, almost without exception,
went to the ex-governor, although
it was generally conceded that the
whisky interests would knife Car
mack"

JUDGMENT FOR MINER
SIGNED UP YESTERDAY
Motion for a Rehearing in Behalf Of
contestee Rabbit Will Come Up on
December p.

Judge Kent in the special term of the
district court yesterday signed the
judgment for r. E. Miner in the cleo
tion contest case for the office of coun-
ty treasurer. The judgment finds that
the recount shows that Miner received
a plurality of two votes over Rabbit
and the cancellation of the certificate
which had been given TO Rabbit by the
board of supervisors is ordered. There
was no order for the issuance of Ger
tificate to Miner since the decree of the
court viii be his authority for taking
charge of the office.
Attorney Billiard on the part OF Bah
bitt filed a motion for a rehearing on
the usual grounds or evidence admitted
which ought not to have been admit
ted, and evidence excluded which ought
to have been admitted; that the find
ing was not supported by the evidence
and that the evidence was contrary to
the judgment. The special term was
adjourned until December 22, when this
motion will be heard.
Motions of this sort are generally
overruled and in case this one is. there
may or may not be an appeal. The in
dications are that there will not be. An
intimation has come from the demo-
cratic side to a member of the republi-
can central committee that II Miner
will pay the campaign expenses of Bah
bitt and the costs Of the contest, that
will be the end Of the matter. Bah
bits campaign expenses were a little
less than $500.

MINER KILLED IN A SALOON AT
 GROWN KING
The Assassin Fired the Fatal Shot from the Outside and Escaped to Hills Followed by a Sheriff'S Posse.

GROWN KING, Nov. 13.-At 7:30 o'clock this evening, Jock Fletcher, an old time miner and prospector of Yav, ] pal county, was shot and almost in. itantly killed at the saloon of w. F. Petrie, in this place, by some one as get unknown.
 The assassin fired the fatal shot from the outside, as the steel jacket of the bullet was found imbedded in the rear wall of the saloon. The front door was open, and as the shot rang out, Fletcher threw up his hands, whirled in the direction of the open door and fell to the saloon floor, dying in a few moments.
 A number of eye-witnesses to the assassination of Fletcher, who were in the saloon at the time, state that there is no doubt but that the shot came from the outside, through the front door.
 SusDlclon attaches to a certain par ty, who spent the day here drinking, and who was heard to make a number of threats against several Crown King parties, but Fletcher was not one of these. The supposition is that tho as- sassin mistook Fletcher for another intended victim.
 This party has fled to the hills, and a posse will start in pursuit tomorrow at daylight. It is expected that hls arrest will be accomplished before an- other day passes.
 Justice of the Peace ESSer is herS from harrington, and will at once i'm panel a coroner's jury to investigate the crime
 The body of Fletcher still lies upon the saloon floor, in a pool of blood, lace downward, and 1t is impossible until after the inquest, to ascertain, the nature of his fatal wound. but 1t is thought he was shot in the chest.
 Te murdered man was well liked by everybody wo knew him.. and had not a known enemy in. this part of the country. &

.R|OTING NEGROES
 SHOOT A PRIEST
Father James Phelan Seeks to Quiet Disturbance and Is
 Dangerously Wounded,

SHELBY, Ia.. Nov. 13.-Twelve ne groes today assaulted the Reverend rather James Phelan, Catholic priest of this place, on a Milwaukee < St. Paul smoking car. firing two shots, which took effect in the priest $ Jody, and beating him so seriously that he lies in a critical condition at -ne sisters hospital in Mitchell. The bullets were probed for, but not found.
 After shooting the priest, the ne sIoes jumped from the train, which pulled into Wolsey, where the alarm T;iS given and an iE1la ated moo started in pursuit, prepared to shoot the assaiIants if resistance is made.
 Feeling in Sibley is also high, and twenty-one citizens left for Wolsey OF an evening train to aid in capturing the negroes, Ropes were taken from Wolsey, and it is feared of the negroes are caught they will be lynched.
 The trouble started over a card game in which the negroes were par ticipating. Their fighting had driven passengers from the coach, and train men feared to enter as firearms were displayed. When the priest attempted to enter the car to quiet the disturb ance he was told to stay out by a burly negro, who struck the priest over the head several times with his revolver.
 Father Phelan fell to the platform. He was kicked in the face and knock ed against the railings. Regaining his feet he grappled with his assailant, when two shots were fired by another negro in the coach.
 4 tTaveiins man opened c window and fired at the fleeing negroes. Father Phelan is a well-known priest, and was formerly editor of the North western Catholic. When told that a mob threatened violence to the ne groes, the priest begged newspaper friend to do everything possible to prevent disgraceful display of tenn per and to have officers take proper measures to prevent lynching.

CHARGES FRAUD IN YUMA CO.
 ELECTIONS
Baxter Advises Those Who Bet to Withhold Payment Until Democratic Committee Can Contest the Election.

Yuma county has been stirred by charges of fraud in the election Tues day, which are made by Chairman Frank Baxter He has issued the fol lowing sensational notice to the peo- pie of Yuma:
 ''To the Citizens of Yuma:
 "The democratic county central committee of Yuma county have in their possession evidence of gross frauds practiced in the election held in Yuma precinct last Tuesday: and also of illegal votes cast at said cleo ton. and will contest the election on those grounds. All parties having laid wagers on the result of said election are advised to withhold payment until the matter is settled by the courts.
 FRANK BAXTER,
 Chairman of Committee"
 Charging that republicans are guilty of gross frauds in the election in Yuma county last Tuesday, Chairman Frank Baxter of the democratic county committee is preparing to contest the election results in the courts of the territory.
 Since the election, which resulted in a majority for Cooper over Smith in ! the defeat of several democratic coun- ty delegates, Chairman Baxter claims to have discovered enough fraud to send several to the penitentiary and materially change the results
 If Baxter takes the matter into the courts, as he has promised, and can show what he claims to have discov- cred to be correct, it will probably N candidates in Yuma were not elected, and that Cooper received bare ma jority of few votes.
 So certain is Chairman Baxter that enough criminality can be shown to change the result that he has advised those who made bets on the outcome 10 withhold payment until after the courts decide who was actually elected.
 Baxter is himself among the defeat. cd. having lost in the race for the council to Robert Mcintyre, the re, publican candidate. Baxter was de feated by but few votes.
 Sensations are promised by Baxter before the matter ends, Those he charges disclaim their guilt, and state that if the matter gets into the courts they will establish their right to ma iorities for the republican candidates now believed to be elected.
 A serious question is being more or less widely discussed as to the legiti' macy of a large number of ballots counted at last Tuesdays election.
 Several witnesses to the counting in Yuma assert tlat probably twenty-five or thirty ballots were so marked as to be easily Identified, suggesting that It was done for the purpose or satisfy ing some one that the voters had car jed out the instructions given them.
 Ii is claimed Cat one series of bal sts. amounting to enough to elect nore than ont candidate now counted m the defeated list, bore strong indl' cations of having been marked by one individual, as they were marked TOT Nentically the same candidates and in peculiar manner, easily dlstln- gufshable from perfect cross.
 There were other evidences Of ille- gitimate work, and it is charged in certain quarters that money was used in an improper manner.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION
 DISCUSSED BY SHAW
Told the Bankers of New York of His Desire for Some
 Reform.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Gratify- ing progress, according to members, was made at meetings today of com mitrees representing the American Bankers association and the New York members of congress who gath cred here to endeavor to agree on a measure for the consideration of con gross, giving authority to banks to is sue emergency circulation in cases of financial stringency.
 Secretary Shaw told the bankers of his desire for some reform in the cur rency legislation which, when put into practical operation will meet all legiti- mate demands of trade.
 Two plans are being considered by the bankers: One, proposed Oy the bankers committee, which contem- plates the appointment of a non-parti- san commission of seven members or which the comptroller of currency shall be one, to pass on all applica- tions by the banks for permission to increase their circulation, and the oth- CT advanced by the Chamber of Com merce of New York, proposing to make an issue of credit currency au- tomatic. Both plans have been dis cussed very thoroughly by the bank ing public.

Maybe he ca1 find some fun and much solace from his arithmetic and geography in running down the sky-hopping jack rabbit, but in doing So he will run a great risk for Truant Officer Lee Thompson knows where the thisAest mesquite is and where jack rabbits are most plentiful. And Thompson has one of the best COW ponies in town and his eyes are of the long distance sors, He can see truant Douglas boy mile away and his pony will car " him almost a mile in a minute, or until that truant is safely mounted be- hind him-and maybe tied with his aands behind his back and thus brought home in nsgrace Maybe the uoy will be put behind those awful steel bars in the lingy little dobe pris- on behind the city hall where it is awfully cold and uninvitisg for lifle boys.
 Anl there is a further posT ,,ity that the boys caught playing hockey will be sent to the refor nschooi st Benson, for if bsy will not attend school in Douglas he must be sent somewhere where he will have no chance of playing hockey"
 Indeed. the prospect for tbs Joy who plays hockey" iA Douglas IS very gloomy and if the writer were a boy again he would not attempt IL for anything.
 sfy' are whole lot better than jack rabbits. if you only knew it.

Railroad Legislation.

The Times says that the pros- pect of Alaska legislation this ses- sion is far from bright. The Me- Kenzie bill has passed the Senate but has not been acted on by the House. The Lowering bill, which provides generally for railroad con struction with government guaran- tee of 4 per cent. interest on bonds to $3O, 600 mile is the only gen eral bill before congress. 1t is fa- vorod by the Alaska Central. Ro- sene opposes the bill, as does the Swanitz company, each claiming they have money to build without aid
 Opposition to this bill has de- veloped in q new quarter. Presf- dent Graves, of the White Pass road. says his company will extend the Tanana Mines railway from Fairbanks to the mouth of Copper river, and objects to aid for any other project.
