A REPUBLICAN COMMENTS.
On the Proposed Contest of jamie
sons Election by Col. Hepburn.

U. G. Reninger, a leading republican
of Shenandoah, former editor of the
Shenandoah Sentinel-Post, the republi-
can paper of that city, writes the Reg
lister and Leader the following letter:
Shenandoah, Iowa.To the Editor:
As republican of progressive tenden-
oies and one who would love to see a
united party in this state, party in
keeping with the principles and beliefs
Of sach men as Larrabee, Cummins, Wal
lace, and others who have the interests
OF Iowa at heart, | want to protest
against the continuation of the fight in
the Eighth district on Senator Cum
minis as foreshadowed by the resolutions
passed by the plum pickers at Creston
last Friday, mention Of which was made
in your issue of the day following.
Congressman Hepburn was defeated
in the Eighth district by change in
republicans votes that ought to indi-
cate to anyone open to conviction that
the general sentiment was against him.
He realizes that he has been made a
tool by those who were fattening at
cribs his official patronage threw open
to them, just as if Iamented Senator
Allison was likewise made tool by
designing men, with this difference in
the present status Of affairs that Hep
burn can still be used as pivot by his
ofiiceholders to protect their jobs, if he
sees fit to lend himself to them, or if
their persuasion can cause him to per-
init the degradation of being advertised
as bad loser.
1t is common talk among the indie
pendent republicans regardless of their
conservative or progressive proclivi-
ties, that q contest on the part OF Hep
burns friends against the democratic
nominee-elect, in this section of the
Eighth district will result in Congress-
man Jamieson's election two years
hence in spite of anything that might be
done to smooth over the matter. The
combining of the standpat postmasters
TO perpetuate their positions, and the
united effort of the federal appointees
in this district to force a contest will
antagonize the independent voters, will
rouse up the election boards and their
friends, because of the reflection cast
upon them, their ability of integrity,
there are 1900 of them in the district,
and will reopen all the old sores caused
by mistakes on Hepburn's part in pre-
yious appointments and patronage dis
bursements and in addition to this the
$500 republican voters who supported
the democratic nominee for congress in
the recent election will in great meas
ure regard continuation of fight di-
rected against Senator Cummins, and
their reasons for this belief will number
among others the fact that the entire
Eighth district at the denomination Of

staged in The Register and Leader, is
headed by the holders of the best pay
ing federal jobs in the Eighth district,
namely Temple of Osceola, whose five
thousand dollar year job cost Hepburn
a number of friends, Jamison of Chart
ton, where politics was practically all
that figured in the appointment Of re-
ceiver for bank wherein the savings
OF many hundreds of worthy people was
tied up, and where the pay is SO big the
tendency is to perpetuate or at least
continue the job az long as possible and
where fitness for the place OF previous
skill did not have the weight that polit-
ical pull represented, and by from one
to five postmasters from every county
in the district.
The independent voters, as they are
Gaming into their own in the west, are
firing of one-man domination. They be-
lieve in majority rule, they favor
finishing a contest at an election not on
possible technicalities, and they want
fair play. For these reasons Mr.. Editor,
the writer sincerely hopes that you will
pour oil on the troubled waters in the
Eighth district, and that the tail can be
so trained and directed that it will no
longer wag the dog.
Anyhow, isn't it time to cry quits?
The standpats bolted Cummins for
governor two years ago, and this year
Cummins was chosen senator. Honors
are even. Why not forgive each other,
pass around the fresh pots if called up
on to do SO, and smoke the pipe Of
peace.
Yours fer republican harmony in the
Eighth district. U. G. RENINGER..

President Roosevelt did not spare
space on his last message. 1t occupied
some twenty-five columns of newspaper

Governor Johnson of Minnesota, says
that the Democratic leaders are not
cast down by defeat, that the party will
win eventually. He further shows that
the party is in better condition than
it was before the campaign opened.
With proper organization, the Delnoc-
racy can win without organization,
there is no opportunity.

Union City, Tenn, Oct. 20.-Advices
from Reelfoot Lake tonight, where a
mob of masked men early this morn
ing took Col. r. 2. Taylor, aged 60,
and Capt. Rankin, both Of Trenton,
and widely known lawyers, out of
their hotel at that place and murder
ed the latter, failed to report the find
ing of Col. Taylor'c body, or to: reveal
any trace of his whereabouts. :;
A man named Powell is said to have
been forced to accompany, the mob.
Powell was stopping at the hotel and
when the night riders, called every
one out and compelled them to line
up, Powell, Col. Taylor, Captain Ran
kin and surveyor, whose name is
unknown, are said to have been taxi
en- away, the others being permitted
to return to their beds. $1,000, = .
Powell states, it is said, that after
killing Rankin, vote was taken re
garding the disposition to be made OF
Taylor. During the dispute, Taylor
made "a dash and jumped into the
bayou, starting to swim across it,. A
number Of shots were fired at him,
and in the confusion Powell slipped
away and brought back the story of
the escape or attempted escape, Of
Taylor. ,.:- -. .,.-.-a- E=,r,
Searchers found the trees On the
edge of the bayou clipped by bullets
and there were deep footprints in

other side of the bayou there was.
a single footprint.
Gov. Patterson arrived at Humbolt
during the afternoon and held con-
sultation with citizens of Trenton who
came down to meet him. Gov. Pat
terson announced that he had offered
$4,000 reward and would visit the
scene in person.
One hundred militia were modified
at the state capital in Nashville and
left at 1890 o'clock for Reelfoot
Lake.
The trouble which resulted in the
outrage was naused by the passage
of an act by the legislature regulating
fishing in Reelfoot Lake, short dis
lance from Walnut Log.
Night rider disturbances occurred
over the same matter about a year
ago. Ever since then Col Taylor and
Captain Rankin have been in constant
receipt of threatening letters.
