Horrifed at what had occurred. Rowe
begged some one 10 Kill him. saying that
the horror OF what he had done was more
than he could bear, and that II none OF
those who were present would shoot him
he would Kill himself
Very little attention was paid 10 what

WATTERSON Is HOPEFUL.
But He ScOIds New York Newspapers
for Their Political Views.

Louisville Ky. Aug 14-Henry Waiter

from his quarters in the Manhattan Club.
New York "On the Political Outlook. -
In his opening paragraph he says:
Things political and pending have
awakened hope in those Democrats who
love their country. who think and feel; in
short. who are Democrats in the large
and true sense These do not all live on
the other side Of the Alleghenies and the
Blue Ridge: some Of them yet abide in
the East It seems, however. incredible.
Speaking under the spur Of honest in
dignation, 1t IS shameful that 100000 of
voters dwelling in the South and West
good Americans every one OF them-have
not only no newspaper in the great city
Of New York adequately to represent
them in this national campaign. but that
in most Of the metropolitan newspapers
where they are not unsupported they are
