The latest dodge of the democrats to secure
votes In tlio congressional elections and to
create talk against the new tariff bill is a
systematic attempt to Induce tlio democratic
storoltcencrs nnd merchants to prejudice the
nhulsof the public against the bill. Orders
mvo been Issued from headquarters to veil
mown and reliable democrats who hnvo
stores or places of business which bring them
n eloso communication with the public. The
ilnn of procedure is that no sooner a pur
chaser enters a sloro than the new tariff becomes -
comes n subject of conversation , The liret
object is to bring the McKlnloy bill forward ,
nnd then when a person prices an nrtlclo with
a view of purchasing , , the prlco is given
vltU the remark : "That Is a little
ilghcr than before the bill passed ,
jecauso the new tarill makes every-
hintr dearer. " The unsuspecting purchaser
ms not tltno to tninlc or sco that the storo-
tccpcr Is twisting figures to suit his nrgu-
neut , Through the west and in ninny doubt-
In 1 states this yum has already been worked
'or ii week or more , tlio object bclnpr to cause
ho new tiiriff to become n general subject of
conversation. The utter absurdity of the
whole thing is shown in the fact that the
tow tariff has hardly been In force a week
and could not possibly affect prices oven If
.ho tariff would do so , The goods now In re-
ail stores were bought huforo the tariff hill
was passed and the law cnuld not affect , them
one way or tlio other. Still the democrats
mvo seized upon this llimsoy argument
: o nffeet the votes of some people. Any
reasoning or sensible man \vill sco at once
tow absurd these arguments arc and how the
democrats will grasp at nny little perversion
or falsity to carry out tholr scheme. The late
meeting of tlio shoo men , in which it was de
cided to advance prices 25 or CO percent , was
u magnillccnt piece of campaign literature
for thorn. They never stopped to think that
the tariff on solo leather had nothing to do
with the rlso , bccausctho duty is not changed ,
but remains wbcro It was in the old bill , and
hides are on the free list. Still the coincident
of the meeting and the change in prices
suited the democrats' ' purpose and they at
> nco scUcd upon tlio news nnd spread It
iroadcast , the democratic papers especially
displaying the item with largo headlines nnd
False editorials in regard to It. Still it maybe
bo said that tlio people of the United States
ire too sensible to bo fooled long with such
arguments now used la this regard by the
democrats.
KXTIU SESSION' GOSSIP.
The tails of an extra session of congress Islet
lot so rife tonight. It is the general opinion
that there is no necessity for such u session ,
is it would bo only two weeks after it Is
called that the regular short session would
jogin. Nobody seams to know whore the
rumor had lls origin and no ono has any good
, ma sufficient reason to advance for Its being
originated. A gentleman who is well posted
on congressional affairs said today that thcro
was no posssiblllty of'congress being called
upon to assemble before the regular day
in December. The only reason advanced
in favor of tbo extra session Is the ono which
says that the fcdur.il elections hillcaubo
liassed before December , if the senators are
ticro to do It. If ttiatbo true , then tlio small
quantity of time required for the discussion
and passage of the measure would not do nny
lamngo to the regular session. , There would
bo ample time Icft hi which to disposo"oT the
ippropriatlou bills. Of course , no ono hero
knows the president's mind , and ho may con
sider nn extra session necessary , hut ho has
novcr told any ono so.

SOUTH EUKIUCI :
Attorney General Miller has received a
letter from S. W. Hawkins , the United
States district attorney for western
Tennessee , in which some very startling
facts In connection \vith the trial and convic
tion of the defendant * in the recent election
fraud cases In that state are shown. In ono
instance particularly , tne celebrated Carpen
ter case , it has been developed that the
court of Fayetto county directed its trustee
to refund to the defendants \vho hnd boon
convicted the lines and costs they
had paid , and the trustco of Hay-
wood county on ono day paid to
the clerk of tliocourtltlOOin lines and costs
of defendants. Almost every conceivable
obstacle was oncovnterod and It was found
necessary in 0110 instance to begin proceed
ings in the state court to remove from oillco
the county clerk. The convicted violators of
the law had the aid nnd comfort not only of
the people , but the local government as
well.
Another lottcr received from the district
attorney in ICosclusko , Miss. , discloses how
bitter is tlio hatred for tlio negro by
the whites in that stato. In March
last a colored man who had been
appointed a railway postal clerk on the Il
linois Central ridlway with a run to McCool ,
a small Htatiou about eighteen miles from
Hosclusko , was shot at by four young white
men who had always berne good reputations
as luw-abldlng citizens. It scorns that these
young men had been induced to tnko the life
of this colored man by older heads , but they
fulled. The United States district attorney ,
II. C. Nllcs , set to work to ascertain the
guilty parties , in they wore at the tlmo of
the shooting known. Mr. Nllcs in bis state
ment to tlio attorney genei-.il bays that during
Ills efforts to Hnd tlio conspirators ho trav
eled nil over the district and found the senti
ment against the colored men so strong that
he could get no In formation from any of the
whites. Ho even found itdlfllcult to got the
grand jury to return the Indictments utter
having succeeded in unearthing tlio' perpe
trators of the crlmo. They said they did not
want to net upon "negro testimony. " Thu
leading merchants of tbo town contributed
InrgosuuHof Jiionoy to defray tbo costs ol
the defendants nnd every possible effort was
made to soeuro the acquittal of the accused ,
but they wcro convicted and punished. In
forty cases out of sixty-eight tried in Ten
nessee for violation of the election laws vcr-
dicta wore remlored for conviction , twenty-
four wore acquitted and the remaining font
cases were dismissed. There were nlsa
twelve cases which were tried twice , the
Jury disagreeing hi both instances.

UIUND ISLAND , Neb. , Oct. 11. To the
EniTOKoCTiin Hii : : : I was struck by an en
gine on tlio ! )7th ) of last month , nnd slnco
then have been nu Inmate of St. Francis hos-
pltnl , where I have been cared for very
kindly. I see some very slanderous refer
ences respecting the late debate at the Grand
Island sugar palace , touching especially upon
the character of yourself and Mr. Webster.
Now , I nm n temperance man and have lived"
It out from boyhood up , and do not desire to
espouse the whisky sldo of the present con
test , but I was a listener at the dobnto from
llrst to hist , anil ns a disinterested party I
will say that Bradford and Itankln used more
slang and made more personal and irrelevant
thrusts at their opponents than nny debater
on the stand.
I snld to a friend nt tlio opening of Brad
ford's second speech that ho was going to get
mad nnd break tip the debate if Hank in would
back him. This was apparent upon its face.
You all know the result.
The Indian rule that ho did not know
what either said , hut ho knew which "got
beat because ho got mad" applies very -well
to this case. The mistake was In Bradford
nnd Hankin playing the renegade. If I had
been camping hi Nebraska for several months ,
speaking day and night for prohibition , I
would have delighted In meeting the enemy
in his stronghold and gained strength from
the contact Instead of dwarfing ns they have ,
1 am sure If Mr. Lurraboe , Olio of the fairest
speakers of t&at occasion , wa ? put under
oath , ho would say the negative side kept
entirely within thoriilo ? of debate , and that
everything would have ended smoothly had
Hnirlford and Kankln kept their temper.
I tlilnlc high- license in any chuse of the
csnstitution would be a crime and a blot that
would rot n hole in every leaf of that sacred
canon , and I have nearly nslittlofuith in pro
hibition. Iain n Murphy man , and I ninhurt
when I sco temperance trailed in the mud as
it is being done by the politicians of Ne
braska. Temperance men nro not only di
vided , but difference In methods has divided
our churches and ministers. The women
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union bnvo promised their prayers
and votes for this once , If It breaks In a little
on the-brotherhood who hnvn some Idea of
the political license that lies behind the
scenes , Mrs. Helen Gougcr , who Is here In
the interest of tlio amendment , comes nearer
letting tlio cat out of the wallet than any
when she says slto wants the McICinlcy bill
and the "forco bill" to become a law , as it
will forever kill the republican party. That's
what the most of them nro after. The sure
result Is democratic * supremacy , as there are
but two national poetics. If nil the married
women were like Iiwbu : there would be no
need of prohibition fwm thrf very fact there
would bo iiojsecond generation.
Prohibition work-in Nubr.askn'has carried
more money out of Jko stnto this year than
all the circuses and men agcries put together.
Can't you llnd any " . 'holes in the wall ? " I
candidly believe the influence for temper
ance lias abated 20 per cent within the last
five years , because it has been carried Into
the dirty slums of politics , and \vo will never
gain nn exultant victory until wo can mar
shal our forces under the same commander
and meet the fee on the same plane and strike
ns ono man. As a republican who learned to
vote under the galling lire at Petersburg , Va. ,
let mo say to tbo republicans of Nebraska :
Do not bo decoyed. The oil year has lost us
ground every time wherever the third party
bos been shown any c&urtesy whatever.

MiNxii.vror.is , Minn , , Oct. 11. ( Special
Telegram to TUB BKB. ] The Tribune today
prints a two-column article charaging the
Evening Journal with selling its inllucnca
for tbo campaign to the democratic state cen
tral committee for ? 1. > ,000. A majority of
tlio stock of the paper is owned by Edward
B. Haskollof Boston nnd the remainder by
William U. Hnskoll of Minneapolis and
Charles M , Palmer of San Francisco. The
paper has always been republican , though for
the past year it bus shown decided mug
wump tendencies. The Tribune prints many
extracts from Its attacks on Governor Merriam -
riam ana the MclCinloy law , and says : "Tho
Journal has sold out Its inlluenco for (15,000
to the democrats , and the Tribune is ready
with the proof to show"
The Journal makes this comment on the
matter : "Tho Tribune doesn't like the Jour
nal's criticism of the JlclClnloy bill , and de
clares that , because it refuses to approve that
measure , it Is not republican. Of course , 1C
opposition to the McKlnloy bill Is to bo siifil-

Tlio circulation of the Journal is BO.OOO
larger by several thousand than that of any

Nominated Yesterday ,
ANDERSON LEFT OUT IN jllE COLD ,
The Mnlcc-Up of tlio Tjcjjlslatlvo Ticket
i Considerable Dissatisfac
tion Aiimtif * thu Country
Delegations.
The domocratlo county convention held In
Washington hull yesterday afternoon was n
hummer. The local leaders of tltountcrrillcd
caucused during the morning hours on the
sidewalk in front of Ed AVIttlg's saloon nnd
compounded the doses of grief that were to
ho dished up to hopeful candidates In the
afternoon.
The result of the -primary election on
Thursday had fearfully changed the plans of
some of the leaders of the democratic hosts
and nmbltlous aspirants wcro hustling In an
cITort to get their political fences In present
able shape. The result of their labors was
In many cases far from satisfactory.
The convention was n boisterous one.
Slates wcro made and broken with rapidity
and the process was attended by an immense
amount of talking , shoutingnnd buttonholing.
From the time that Clmlrman Bjlly
called the mass to order , to the
Jlnlsh , fully half the delegates were on tnclr
feet swapping promises and forming combi
nations. Otitsldo workers crowded In and
joined the mess nnd the tight wont mer
rily on.
The first result of the morning's caucus
was shown when it cnmo to the selection of
candidates for commissioner. George Tim mo
had a slim chance early m the day , but in
dustrious buttonholing placed htm n strong
mnnforllrst place on the 11 rat ballot. On
the ground ho was a winner nt several times ,
but so many changes were made
in the votes by wards that the ballot was
lost , nnd a third one taken , on which ho was
selected.
.foe Kcovcs of Vnllcv was in strong favor
at ono time , but was defeated by some sin
ner's senseless report that ho was a prohibi
tionist.
Tlio programme was repeated when the
candidate for commissioner of the Fifth
district was chosen. Although Anderson
was defeated at the primaries , ho rallied well
and at noon was considered n fairly sure
winner , whllo Dark Horses Seiver. Daily
and Knowlon wcro counted as being ahead of
Van Camp. Successful electioneering effected
a marvelous change , however , and Van Camp
won the prize 011 tlio llrst. ballot ,
Wild confusion followed the announcement
of Van Camp's selection. Mike Itoclio
opened the ball by springing
on n chair nud giving vent to the latest Sev
enth ward yell. Hats were thrown and three
cheers pent up lor the nomination winner.
Commissioner Anderson sat on a rear seat
and said nothing , but chewed gum.
The contest for the selection of senatorial
candidates was quito as spirited If not ni
noisy. The Intormal ballot gnvo the prefer
ence to Switzlcr , Christopherson and Major
Paddock. A 'notion to make Paddock's
nomination unanimous brought forth a pro
test from lion. Charley Brown and Paddock
stock dropped below par.
It was simply frightful the amount of clo-
quenco that was tapped when it came to plac
ing candidates for representatives in nomina
tion. Every delegate tried to put his neigh
bor's name before the convention , nnd uppar-
antly expected his ncitrhhor to reciprocate.
Names of men prominent nnd men unknown
were reported in such rapid succession that
Secretary licrtliwick was completely lost.
Ho is a man of resources , however , nnd met
the emergency by writing out a list of nil tbo
democrats ho knew and reading It as a list of
candidates. It went.
It was alter 7 o'clock when the work of
making a ticket was Unnlly completed.
The Con volition.
At precisely 2:30 : , Euclid Martin , chairman
of the democratic county central committee ,
rapped the convention to order , and Secre

IIcafoy's undertaking rooms awaiting n post
mortem examination and an inquest.
The manner of Mr. Shlolllco's death was
quito mysterious. Some of the passengers
onttcablo train going toward the Coliseum
about (1 ( o'clock last night noticed u
Irage , robust , laboring man who seemed
to bo under the Influence of liquor
and was becoming quite stupid nnd perspired
very freely.Vhcn the train stopped at Lake
street the mnn went into the little station
thcro and Rnt down Ho soon beentiio uncon
scious and fell upon the lloor. A physician
\viw culled and did all in his power to resusci
tate the unconscious man , but' after working
with him for about two hours without suc
cess the patrol wngon WIN called and the man
was taken to the 'police station. The
work of bringing him to fonsi'Iousnnsft
wai continued , but about 10 o'clock he di.l. .

the man was Charles K Shiefileu of L'ounnl

She said that she Imd not soon him stnro

must have had $00 in cash when
ho got his pay , nnd ho also carried n g l > l
watch. Thoio were gone. lie had hut.tu
cents in his pockets when he reached the sta
tion at Lake street , and ho had no watch.
The inference of the olllcew and the coroner
ner is that Shlellleo hnd gene on impreo 111
had company , had boon drugged and robbed ,
and put aboard tlio cable train.

A small , dark coniplexioncd man came into

Ho volunteered to accompany her ana

way bo borrowed u quarter from thu boy and
