augbing heartily tonight over the ludicrous
cudliiR of the grcj.t democratio plot to offset
their naturalization frauds by shouinp that

illegal registration. The six negroes arrested
scxcral days ago oncotnplaintof a member of
the democratic campaign committee have
been released without any blare of trumpets
and by order of the chief of police. Tor
some rejsoa unknown the matter has been
c.'iKfull Iccpt secret but today it developed
that Captain LauRhllu released the men last
night. No bill vis Rl\en although .fudge

The writer then proceeds to aa-usc Stanley

ncldeseiticlh. Ho does not mineo nutters In
he least and the book is sure to stir up a bit
er feeling ana i.Ul forth hard words The
ollow high a tjpieal passaze :
"Mr Stanley actually tells us , " says Mr.
Jarttclot , "that he suggested that if Cairier
'ippn did not turn up the rear column should
ulvanco by making marches , six miles
t a time , four times over darkest
Yfrica" No one out hlm > > clf would
are put such a suggestion on
ipir forfear of the stmm of derision it
\ouldpio\oko The ideals a splendid con-
eption ridiculously impassible Just think
xhat this brilliant suggestion meant. The
llstance to Albert like ii over six hundred
niles Togo there by journejs of six miles
made four times , mean * to yo over exery
ix miles three double Journeys and
me siusla journey , that Is seven times.
50 that to cover tbe tJOO miles march , 4,200 ,
nlies is to bo made , which would take them
eighty-four weeks more than a year and a
half , always supposing no accidents and fair
roads Imagine the five officers a Yumbuca
\lthsuchapropos.il before them , together
vitli Instructions that loss of the loads would
bo absolute ruin to the expedition. "
There U another specimen. Referring to
.he revolt of Soudanese and writing to Major
Tottenham of this Incident , Major Harttclot
ays "Stanlci said it vis in his power to
ruin mo in the serilco. I said that was an
empty threat. It Mould take a great deal
moro than bo could say to do that. He
punished me afterwards by making me
narth bjr myself to Leopaidvillo with
seventy men , noted for laziness and Inca
pacity , Jcarryinj loads , and my Soudanese
warning ; mo If I lost a slnclo one to 'look
out" '
Tne general opinion Is that Stanley is
morally forced to meet these charges with
full and candid answers.
Koreonsis a Liberal Victory.
