Phyle failed to appear to push his case and in default he was suspended indefinitely, The suspension was raised three years afterwards.
 Advices received from Cincinnati also point to the Stockdale case being car Tied before the National Commission.

The negro according to circulated

When the cOlored fellow had finish
ed the job Ray offered the negro a
five cent piece in payment for his
service. This the bootblack refused,
demanding ten cents for the shine.
Some words followed and Ray went
to secure a gun and on his return

The latest fool story about David

ton fraud row is that Mr.. Bryan
directed somebody to direct Norman
E. Mack to call Mr.. Ball of. From
what particular line of endeavor
Mr.. Ball was to be called of is not
plain. Thus far, beyond bringing
criticism upon himself from thous-
ands of good Democrats who sup
ported him and giving the Kansas
City Star and St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat a pretext for attacking his
party, Mr.. Ball has not accomplish
ed anything by talking about al
legged election frauds. All that Mr..
Balls unhappy indiscretions could
accomplish in this direction has
been accomplished, and it now
makes little difference what Mr..
Ball does. Also, it may be remark
that the facts have been so well
and widely known that Mr.. Balls
complaints have had as little effect
as have the wild charges of the Re-
publican organs. Kansas City Post.
