| WAS for Dave Ball before the
Primary, but that is a thing of the
past. bow cheerfully to the will
of superior numbers, and will not
"kick" because my favorite did
not get there. This cry of "fraud! !"
is the merest bosh-that is, SO far
as it has affected the result.
When the Globe Democrat and the
Kansas City Star go to crying out,
"fraud!'I generally conclude that
things have been pretty fairly
done; and all other good Demo-
Gratis will serve themselves, the
State and the party best by moi
joining in the howl.

 femaIa is Critical.

 Passengers who have arrived here recently from Guatemala. says that revolution was being planned against Domingo VasqueZ, ex-president of Honduras. wh" is supposed to have tho support of Guatemala. This. they say. was the reason why Senor Bustil- los. finance minister of Honduras. was sent on a special confidential mission to President Cabrera, of Guatemala, and why Cabrera. instead of ofstreating with Bustillos practically imprisoned him in Guatemala City.
 AEer the latest war with Nicara qua. Honduras was left entirely disarmed and should the reports of the Hondu rean military movement prove true, it is supposed that Nicaraguans and Sal- vadoreans have furnished her with munitions of war
 The situation in Guatemala is, re- ported to be exceedingly critical. The passengers say that among the per sons reported to have been executed there were Mrs Castaneod and Mrs Blanco, and Messrs. Herrea, Trigue- ras,> Edwardo Rubio and Antonio Ru bio. all of whom belonged to promi- nent wealthy Central American fami- lies. During the past year all these persons had been in Communicate in the dungeon of the penttentiary in Guatemala City and the passengers say that 1t was impossible for them to have participated In the recent att tempt on the life of President Cabrera. They add that the executions were con sIdered cruel and unnecessary and that relatives of those persons put to death who are rich and powerful, will not rest until they have succeeded in bring ing about the downfall of Cabrera.
