The affair was conducted with all the bravado of the border drama, end the killing of the two men, one of whom died Instantly, was purely wan ton, us neither made any reslajence. The persons killed were: J. A. Oer stern, traveling agent of the Walter A. Wood Harvester company, shot through the heart. ( ushler Thorhurn of the Hank of Hherburne, shot in the head. The crime Is paralleled only by the raid of Jesse James and the Younger boys, when they swooped down upon the little town of Northtleld, a few miles north of the scene of yester day's crime, shot the cashier of the bank of Northlleld down and de camped with a large amount of money. In that instance the robbers departed on horses, whereas yesterday the criminals, in keeping with the times, used bicycles In escaping from the enraged citizen* at Sherburne. At about I:.'I0 o'clock two masked men walked through the front en trance of the bank to the cashier's box apd, without a word, whipped out their revolver* and leveled them ut ( ashler Thorburn. The latter did not move, but the next minute the re port of two revolvers rang out and Cashier Thorburn fell at his desk. At another desk In the bank stood Oerstern, a traveling man. lie was the only Immediate bar to the ends to which the robbers sought to gain, and a* Thorburn fell to the Hour they turned and shot him dead. Asijulcklyas posslblo they leaped over tho railing and secured $1,000 In cash. They then ran for the back door of the bank, where they had taken the precaution to leave their bicycles, minuted them and rode away. It all happened inside of two minutes, ami the only witness to the deed was a woman who stood across the street from the front entrance of the bank, and who was attracted by the report of tho revolvers. She saw them turn on Oerstern, secure the money and decamp. She gave th6 alarm and In five min utes after the deed had been commit* ted the little town of Sherburne was in a state of excitement such a* has never before been seen there. Thornburn, it was found, was not dead. Oerstern, however, had been shot through the heart, and bad ap parently been instantly killed. Thornburn lived two hours, having received bullets in several different parts of Ins body. The town of Sherburne contains scarcely more than MOO in habitants, but inside of ten minutes several posses had been foi rned, including nearly every male citizen of the town, aud a search was at once instituted. Every town and village where there is the sligliest possibility of the rob bers visiting, in their efforts to escapu has been warned, und their capture is expected at any moment.

Democrat, Is re-elected gover nor by a majority of not less than .‘it, 000, which la an Increase of 0,000 over the party majority of two years ago. Fulton county, in which this city la situated, has given Atkinson a major ity of 1,000, where two years ago it gave the Democrats a majority of I,. 600. Ilibb county this year gives a majority of 600, and two years ago it gave the Democrats s ma'.orlty of 3, 09a In tlie Tenth district, which Is the home of Thomas Watson, the Dem ocratic majority lias dropped from 8, 000 to *2,000. It is generally conceded, however, that Atkinson has carried the state bv at least 3&.000, and the re turns are expected by his friends to show he lias a majority of 35,000. This, If true, will mean that the balance of the ticket has been elected by a ma jority of 28,:iOO. Toe legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic. The Populists may liave four inemliers in the senate arid the Republicans one. Torn Watson, the Populist nominee for the Vice Presidency, made a des perate effort to defeat the Democ racy in order to use It to force off Newall from the ticket, lie had tho Populists to put up Seaborn Weight, a Prohibitionist, and a strong man, for the governorship. He then made a trade with the Republicans by which their entire vote was thrown to tba Populists. The effect of this Republican move, however, was to scare the Populists hack Into the Democratic ranks. The gold standard Democrats also took active partin haloing the Populists as a means of Injuring the regular Dem ocrats. A. H. Clay, chairman of the Htate democratic executive cuiiiiuittce, »uy»; “We have carried tho Htate by be tween 4*1,000 and *10,000 majority. The I'opuliata have not carried twenty counties out of tiie 147 in the Htate, and they have lost many of tiie coun ties they carried in liG4.r’ Kx-Hecretary of the Interior Hoke Smith i%ld: “The contest io Georgia was over the question of local govern ment. National issues did not enter into it. Governor Atkinson won the confidence of tiie negro vote by his impartial administration, and the large majority of them supported him at the polls.” A. E. Buck, chairman of the Htate Republican committee, said; “Atkin son's large majority is dun to the pro hibition plank in the Populist plat form. The governor won the negro vote bv his efforts to suppress lynch ing. The result has no significance nationally.” _ ENGLAND’S BAD FAITH. Franchise for a Uallrosd to the Vene* sudan Gold Fields Granted. Wisuiwoton, Oct. 0, — Advices from Venezuela were received at the Htate departtuent late this afternoon which caused a mild sensation. Copies of the Demcrara papers containing ac counts of recent action taken by tbs Colonial government of Britlah Guiana in defiance of tiie understand ing existing between the United Htutes and Great Britain were in to day'a mall. One of tiie papers con tains a five-column account of the granting of a franchise for building a railroad along tiie Kituinu river to the Barima gold fields. The road will run into the territory not only beyond tiie ScliomburgU line, but even beyond the territory to which Great Britain lias heretofore laid claim on tiie ground that it was settled by her cQlouist*. The account in tho Demerara paper states tlujt the franchise was rushed through, not even the time required by the constitution being occupied in its consideration. Nearly all the pa pers, some of them government or gans, criticise tiie proceedings ad versely and say they fear it will com plicate tho Venezuelan controversy to no little extent. It is expected that tho Venezuelan legation will have official information about the matter to-morrow and will convey it to Necretary Gluey, who will doubtless withoutdelay call upon Lord Salisbury for an explanation of this violation of the undemanding now existing between this country und Great Britain. The Barima gold fields, which the nilroad is to be built to read), are said to be the richest in the world. A MURDERER CONFESSES.

Stephen II White, Chairman, and Member* of the Notification Committee: (ientlemen I have the honor to accept in writing, a* 1 have already verbally done, the nomina tion tendered by you on behulf of th* Democratic party, a* its candidate for Vice President of the United State*. And In *o doing, 1 am glad, first, tu express iny satisfaction mat the plat form of our party, which has com manded my life-long allegiance, in honestly and fully declaratory of all the principles, and especially of the absorbing financial issue, upon which, as you say. I took my stand when tha hours of triumph seemed remote and when arrogant mousy-changeri throughout tue country boasted that the conquest of the American inaaaea was completed. "These prlnciplea have been of late In abeyance, but only because those whom we fratted to maintain them have failed tu do so. These principle! can never die. We have rescued our party from those who, under the in fluence of the money power, have controlled and debased It. Our mis sion now la to rescue from thia same Eower and its foreign allies our owu cloved country. Thia is the Brat and highest duty imposed by our party'i platform: until the performance oi this duty all other reforms must wait. "The test of party principle* is the government they assure. The prool of good government is a contented and happy people, and the supreme teat of noth ia the ability to guide the country through crises, os well as to administer the government In ordi nary times. Our people now face a crisis; a crisis more serloua than any since the war. "The best money in the world ii none too good for those who have got It, but how Is it with the DO per cenl of our people who have got it to get' "llow is it with those who mu*l buy this 'best money in the world with the products of their own labor! These are the people for whom the Democratic party would legislate. What is the best money for these in the question for all to ask who really love this land How else canyon in crease labor’s purenssing power, but by increasing the price of labor’s pro duct. Is it a fair measure of valuei that in our great producing section ten bushels of potatoes must bo paid for a dollar, ten bushels of oats for a dollar, six bushels of corn for a dol lar, three bushels of wheat, and all other products of the soil and mine* and the labor of all wage earners al tlie same ratio? "It has brought us at last to the parting of the ways. Whittier shall the people go—in the way tliut hat led to their enslavement, or Into thai which offers them tneir only chance to begin Individual liberty, lasting prosperity uud happiness? "Det not our opponents charge in with creating class distinctions.

"Behind tlio strong entrenchment of tliu gold standard arc guth-red all those favored classes it lias fostered tin-only dangerous class of the land, avarice and unholy greed arc there, every trust and combinationaro there, livery monopoly is there, led by thi greatest monopoly of all, the mono poly of the power of gold.

A million and one third dol lars for every dsy are required tc keep its wheels In operation. Now, It the government had the power tc make money, us some people seem tc believe, or had the power to double the value of a thing by Its stamp 01 flat, It would not need to resort tc taxation—lt would simply set its mints to work and make ilia oecestsry amount of money to pay its running rxpensea It would have paid off the national debt long years ego in this wav. There is another tiling I would have you all know, that the govern ment cunnot gel gold or silver except through the custom houses or the In ternal revenue offices without giving something for it just as you and I have to give aomething for It If w« want gold or sliver. ‘‘Now, how does tha government distribute this money? Homebody asked me this question ths other dsy. The government distributes itssnuusl receipts under appropriations of Con gress to-its creditors. That is the wav the money of the government Is distributed, ft is distributed to the army and the navy, for publto Im provements, for rivers and harbors, for the greet postal service of the country, for the expenses of Congress, for sustaining the judiciary, ta pay the principal and interest of the pub lic debt and to pay pensions of sol diers and the other creditors of the government, and there Is no other way for the government to distribute any money except pay it to the peo file to whom It owes money. There s no such thing as a general distri bution of monsy by the government of the United Htates. The point I went to make in the little talk I am giving to you this morning Is tals—that the government does not create money, tkat it cannot create money, and that whatever money It needs it has to col lect from taxes, either by a system of direct taxation or by u system of Indi rect taxation known as a tariff; and that if the government wants to have any gold and silver minted for Its own uses It has to pay for that gold end stiver just as you and I would have to pay for It if wa wanted It far our purpose. The idea that the gov ernment eaa create wealth is a mere myth. There le nothing that can ere ai« nssiiii oscapt i>uwi, •• to the right put* it.” Mr. MeKlnley then briefly advocated the protective tariff system ol raising revenue and said: "If we could create money by merely startler our mints running, then there would be no ne cessity of taxes Now, there la an other thing I want to talk to you about for a moment. We want our money good. 1 do not cere what em ployment we may he engaged la— whether we work in the shop or on the farm, or in a profession—we want the dollar we have in eirculetlen as good as our flag and as unquestioned as the currency of any country in the world; and that is the pirpose of the Republican nsrtv today.” URGED TO FUSION.
