A dlipatcb from Chicago says gloom,
mingled with oomteraation, has com'
onr the western Republican head
quarters at the news which ocmes
from tha East that New York stite
Is praotloally lost for Roosevelt.
All report* agree that the president
is not going to carry bis own state.
Political writers, who have been
studying the eastern conditions, Re
publican orators and even the coofi
dentlal represt ntstives of the party
managers, are all agreed that New
York is almost certain to go for
Judge Parker by a plurality which
may reach 75,000.
Tne Republicans, who ad nit that
the state is lost, put the margin at
from 16,000 to 25,000.
For the president to lose his own
state is unquestionably & severe blow
to the Republican cause. The cam
paign managers at Chicago headquar
ters are beginning to ask, What next?
ly will be made a hotbed of activity.
Additional speaking meetings will
be arranged for Ob lot go, and all mea
to rally Republican feeling will be pot
into motion at once.
BLOODY UOOftD OF MORRISOK.
If New York can be lined up in slew him. This victim wSa found some
the Democratic column so early in the
campaign, the managers are wonder
ing how about New Jersey, Delaware,
Bhrde Island and Connecticut. It is
nut to be forgotten that McKinley
oarrled New York by 143.606 four
yean ago. If that plurality can be
wiped out and replaced by a plurality
estimated all the way from 15,000 to
75,000, what la to happen in a state
like Delaware, which went Repobii
can by the narrow margin i f 3,671?
80M£ OThER STATES.
Here also hre the pluralities of
aomefllher eastern states which are
quite certain to participate In any
Mich wave of Democratic sentiment
aaappean to b) sweeping over the
Atlantic coast states:
Connecticut, 28 570; New Jersey,
66,80S; Rhode Island, 13,972; West
Virginia, 21,068; Maryland, 13,041; In
diana, 26,478.
It has been a precedent unviolated
that the lead of New York ia followed
by the states in the Immediate vicin
ity which are subject to similar influ-
eieas. As New York goes, New Jer
sey and the rest of them have a nay
of going.
Tha Republican managers ceased
arms time ago to make serious claim
to Maryland, and even Wist Virginia
has bedh placed by them in tbe doubt
ful class, which is coming now to be
tbe Democratic clam.
Tbe wave of Democratic sentiment,
which has been predicted by the Par
ker managers, baa put in its appear
ance, and tbe wee tern people have
began to wonder how lung It will be
before Indians leaves tbe doubtful
olam for the Democratic column, and
Illinois ia taken out of the RepublT-
can column and classed as doubtful.
H ia a simple nut hr metical calcula
tion which has been msde by tbe Re
publican managers bere, showing that
the campaign is now far from being a
one-sided affair.
HOW THE SAME LOOKS.
The game now looks about Tike
this: Number of rotes Id the electo
ral college required tc elect, 239; oou-
etded to Alton B. Parker,—^
The solid South-including West
Virginia and Maryland,) 166; New
York, 39; likely to go wfthNew York,
New Jeney 12, Cumrctlcut 7, Dela
ware 3, Rhode Island 4, total 65.
Total in the East for Parker, 231.
The fifteen electoral votes In In-
diani would mora than decide tbe
elactk n In favor of Parker.
In addition to the chance for win
ning Indiana the Democratic mana
gers have the chance of carrying two
or three of tbe far western states
which went Democratic In the last
preiidentlal election—Colorado, Mon
tana, Nevada and Idaho.
Senator Wm. O. Clark, of Montana
ia patting time and money Into carry
ing Montana for Parker, and believes
it is an even bet proposition, being
willing to back bis beli f with b<i
money. Montana and Idaho each
have three electoral votes and Colo
rado baa five. —| :
BRYAN A FORCE.
The Parker campaign will undoubt
edly make its advance on tbe West in
the rear future. .Xlie teqdlng of W.
J. Bryan into Indiana is regarded rs
one cf the important moves in tb a
direction. The Republicans are wait
ing the attack in the West with sol e
degree of apprehension, due to Uk
rather unexpeokd devtlopmenis in
the East.
The Republicans in charge of the
western headquarters are not over
looking the gravity of tbe situation,
and will at once undertake tbe moat
energstic measures to check the wan
of Democratic sentiment which 8~eou
to be aweeplng In from the East. The
oimpaign will be pushed both in tbe
East and tbe West. Tha managers
here feel confident that they will ha
able to check the Parker movement
and turn It b ok before it engu fs the
Stataa which have been regarded as
Roofc.velt’s stronghold.
But no effort will be spared and no
labor neglected fiom this time on.
The speakers’ bureau will put
Desperado Whom the Coarts Had at
Least Twlee Acqaltted.
A special dispatch to Tbs Stats
from Oaigdvn says lf John Mc rriaon,
the desperado who was put to death
by a mob In Lancaster county last
Saturday night, had lived in the days
of the James boys and po aesaed the
daring and courage wbica made those
men conspicuous, he would have been
eligible to a non-commlaaiontd officer
in that famous bind. There s>ems
to be no doubt but that he possessed
the other qualities to a marked de
gree.
Little la known of his life before he
turned his back on the mountain
fastnesses of bis native State, North
Carolina, 15 years ago, but his career
during this period suggests little of
peace and good cttlz nship on bis
native heath. He came across the
border bearing the brand of Cain, and
tha number of his victims here verl-
flee the stigma.
’1 he facta surrounding tbe murder
which he is'Sdid to have done in North
Carolina are not available, but tbat
there was such a crime was a persis
tent rumor long before this lest (Led
brought bis tame Into prominence.
.Twelve yean ago be met a solitary
buntelr in a York county forest and
days after with a bullet hole through
his bead, and suspicion rested on John
Morrison. He was tried and acquitted
on the pit a of aelf defense. Uufortu-
nately a gun was found beside the
dead man, and this and the fact that
tbe victim was a colored man were
enough for the Jury.
A short while after this he moved
to Kershaw and within Its environs he
gratified bis thirst for blood. A kindly
providence saved another colored man,
a neighbor from his bullet. Fancying
that be had a grievance against him,
Morriaon proceeded to shoot at him
as bis figure was silhouetted against
the sky on a nearby hilL This colored
man had tbe courage to proaecute
Morrison, but again it was a case of
white man and negro, and be went
unpunished.
Some time last year a party of ne
groes were walking up the track of
the railroad on which he lived, and he
killed one. He was tried at Camden
for tbe murder and acquitted. He
o'aimed that they were engaged in
singing vulgar songs and ware other-
wit e riotous. It ia slated that with
bis Winchester he chased the terror
ized colored men over the surround
ing country until be bad exhausted
his ammunition. These negroes were
so intimidated that they were afraid
to testify against him on tbe trial.
A short while ago, while he was en
gaged lu running the pumping engine
L>r the tank below Kershaw, be was
reported by an engineer for not having
water in tbe tank. After he learned
of the report he carried his rifle to
meet all trains and said openly that
he would use it on any who reported
him. His malignity was so patent
that, when be refused to leave when
told to do so by the rallrc al officials,
engineers were afraid to stop at that
tank for water and were in constant
dread of the trestle nearby being
burned under them.
When be was notified to leave by
the Vilroad officials be refused to do
so tor .me tim', and finally when be
did go “•'Monished th m *.o send a cof
fin withy is successor.
It ia said that he had planned to
kULhls successor last Monday but was
thwarted. Tbe circumstances sur
rounding the kill'ng of bis last victim
are ao fresh in the minds of the peo*
pis ttat they need no rrcountlog here.

Merchants of New York having

ment bffve received a written appeal

In a dungeon In Port au Prince, in
r 'oich they charge tbat they are vie-
f irs of political schemes and probably
will be put to death soon unless,
through publicity, tbe United States
Is moved to take action in their be
half.
They are J. de la My re Mory, Jean
Baptiste de Puybaudet and G. Oblrlcb
R. Tlppenhauer, the first two Freeh-
men and the third's German. Under
the preceding administration of tbe
Island they had been directors of the
National Bank of H&ytl, and aa such
had been authorized by the then min
ister of finance, P. Felne, to bond a
government debt, for which they
were to have received a “gratifies
t!0n” or commission.
-Before the Vranvactton bad been
completed, tbe present government,
bead id by President Alexus Noid,
came into power, and it la declared
that he bad tbe three bankers arrest
ed last November on a charge of hav
ing Issued 1200,000 more of tbe bonds
than was stipulated lu tbe budget lu
order to Increase the amount of their
'‘gratification.’’
According to tbe writer of the ap
peal, all their actions bad been sanc
tioned by the Haytlan senate under
tbe former administration, but this
bad no weight with President Nord,
^wbbf -tt it alleged, instructed th*
judges of tbe emit of appeals to dis
regard tbe document and act solely
upon patriotic motives, which means,
tbe letter says, tbe extinction of tbe
wbltes on tbe Island.
Both tbe French and German minis
ters to Hayti made an amicable de
mand In January last upon that gov
ernment tbat tbe bank officials be re
leased provisionally if for no other
reason than tbe unsanitary condition
of their prison, but tbe government
refused to take action on tbe ground
that the laws of Hayti prevented any
Interference In the case.
We are the victims of Haytian
politics,” continues the writer; “In
fact, the hatred is so great against
tbe white people and against all who
isve had anything to do with tbe
former government that life baa be

His bead and abouloen were mashed

Eon. Benjamin Ryan Tillman,
senior United States senator of South
Oarolloa, spent a half hour in Char
lotte Wednseday morning, en route
to Chicago, wera rn Thursday he will
make ao address before a big Dein
craite meeting. From Chicago be
will maks a week’s tour of Illinois,
speaking one and two times each day.
Tbe Charlotte Chronicle says tbe
senator will return home at the ex-
plratioo Of the week’s tour, and then,
if bis throat, which bat given him
trouble for a year, permit*, be will re
turn to the West for a longer period
of speech making. “1 have not
spoken during the campaign yet, but
bave been working out of doors r ibd
gettirg all the air and sunshine I
can, with a view to building up my
health," sild the senator to a re
porter. A ruddy glow Is In bis
cheeks, and a casual observer would
put him down as an entirely healthy
man. /
When asked as to the prospects of
a Democratic victory be turned to a
newsboy and asked for a paper.
When the question was repeated, be
stated tbat the chances for a Demo
cratic victory were much brighter
since the publication of Parker’s let
ter of acceptance.
“We will surely carry New York,
and possibly Connecticut, be added.
“Senator, do you think Parker has
a fighting chance?’’ -
Tib’s Is a —— of a poor TjxTT’h'e
hasn’t,” replied tbe senator, earnestly.
Continuing, be said: “1 think ibat
Parker is an admirable man and tbat
be is exceedingly popular among tbe
Democrats, while there are plenty of,
unbiased R’publicans who will vote
for him. Parker is not a genius. He
is a good, safe, conservative man,
clean-hearted and liberal. Sbou’d he
be elected, be will govern the country
safely and will not try to make a
spectacle of himself, like tbe present
gentleman of the wblte hoise.’’
Changing suddenly, Senator Till
man asked •what the -Papalwts would
do itt North Carolina. “I notice in
The Observer that Watson spoke In
tbe state yesterday,” he sail.
The reporter thought that tbe
Populist vote to the state would have
no appreciable effect on North Caro
lina politics. Mr. Tillman asked
pointedly if tbe Populists In the state
would vote for Watson or Parker.
The senator is sn agreeable gentle
man when in tbe proper mood, and
tbij morning, while be waited out
side for bis train, be chatted pleas
antly.
A by-stander, who lives in South
Carolina, told the senator that he was
more popular than ever before In h's
state. This interested him and he
said: “1 am a~ terrible fellow. I've
got the best of friends and tbe worst
of enemies—and my enemies certainly
do‘cu*’me. But,” said tbe senator,
I believe I have got five friends for
every one enemy.”

A dispatch from New York to tbe

cratic managers bave a well grounded
confidence In victory at the election
to b; held next month is clearly shown
in^the tone of tbe expressions about
tbe campaign headquarter*. The belief
that Parker and Davis will be elected
is based upon tbe most trustworthy
information that can be obtained at
this time aa to tbe temper and inten
tion of the voters in the ten or twelve
States outside of the “solid South,’
iu which both parties are fighting
bard for supremacy.
Taat Democratic prospects have
bren greatly improved within tbe put
ten days is evident to any one with
an eye to see and an ear to bear.
This improvement is euily account
ed for, firat, by tbe splendid condl
lion of the united Democracy
In the State if New York; second,
by the line impressions made
opon toe country by Judge Parker
through hlsietter or acoeptancrYnd
third by tbe general era of good feel
ing in tbe party, which Judge Parker
bu created by his successful personal
efforts to conciliate all factions and
enlist tbe hearty support of certain
Democratic leaders, who, for one
cause or another, had Inclined to bold
aloof and let the campaign take care
of Itself.
The foremost indepentent newspa
ira r qf the country, while perhaps
not yet convinced that defeat is in
store for the Republicans, neverthe
less agree that the political tide is
turning and that from now on it will
set. in strongly towards Parker and
Davis.
Except in a few bdUted localities
all reports point id a collapse of tbe
Populist campaign, which is generally
believed to hive been kept alive thus
far by the free use of Republican mon
ey. Even in Nebraska, which is appar
ently the stronghold of the third
party, indications multiply tbat Judg-
Parker will receive far more than the
normal Democratic vote. In Indiana,
where a great effort bu been made to
nduce warm admirers of ML Bryan
to vote for Watson, the Populate,
frith the active aid of Republican or
ganization, are making no bead way,
qnd it ia believed tbat Mr. Bryan will
make such a strong plea to all bis
friends to give loyal support to Judge
Parker that Indiana’s vote for the
Populist ticket will cut very little
figure lu tbe general result. Aa elec
tion day draws near, it is becoming
more and more evident that there i*
to be a square, stand-up fight between
the two great parties. L—
Once and for all may it be said that
there ia no friction whatever at the
headquarters of the uatiooal demo
craoy. Chairman Taggart hu made
one trip to Indiana and will make sev
eral more between now ami election.
Judge Parker himself is lu dose touch
with the work of. the party managers
and hla tact and experience in cam
paign werk are proving of great value
to the committee. It ia Judge Parker’s
opinion that the real work of the cam
Igfl his but just begun and tost
durlig the next five weeks a record
breaking campaign should be waged in
every State c’assed as “doubtful.” He
believes in short, sharp and united
work all along the line, “with malice
toward none, and charity for all.” In
this way, he says, and only in tK
way, can the Democratic party win
tbe great victory which it deserves to
win and which he is confident it will
win.
The exectitlve committee ot toa na-
tlonaT D«-maeratle committee held

A dispatch from Macon, Ga., to the
Atlanta Journal says the physicians
at tbe city hospital are convinced now
tbat the ease of Mr. WilUam
Tabor, of House ton county, was by

pltal Saturday night, after being in a
state of convulsion from 6 o’clock. His
brother, who wm with h’m, says,
however, that be thinks nervousness

to do with tbe death as anything else.

else to live, so be would not Injure bis
wife and little ones when be became
violent. No amount of punuMloo
could make him believe that be would
not become violent sooner or later.
Tbere was nothing unusual ab« ut the
dog or the bite. It wm the same kind
of an accident that bM befallen hun
dreds of men in tbe past, without any
serious cons quences, but Mr. Tabor
wm sure tbat the bite would cause hlt>

life insurance, and arranged all of his
affairs for bis death.
His family tried to get hla mind off

The physician bad heard nothing,
about tbe case, and could see nothing

under the cover of a continual boss-

finally reached the redoubt oo toe

shell fire from tbe wmL
The Japanee efforts ware directed
obit fly against tbe commanding posi

Mgeon bay, slightly snath of Fort

and if it bad fallen its possession
would have given the Japanese a tre
mendous lever against the chain of

wm terrible and culminated Septem
ber 23, when the Japanese succeeded
n reaching end occupying toe Rnsstan
armored shelter trenches, whence
they expected about tb* next day to
storm toe summit. During toe night
