These good, honest f trmers and some other trades have all the while declared that they are as good Democrats as they ever were; but how can they say that any longer? Now that the Re publicans have taken in the Populists, how can these "good Democrats" remain in the mix?

SHOT DEAD IN MIS CELL. tjtik t'iss;oier, a Xoiou Louisiana Des perado, Killed by an I'uknoun Mob. Mixdejt, La., Septenibcr 10. A noted desparado of north Louisiana, and east ern Texas, Link Waggoner, was shot to death in his cell in the parish jail by a mob lat night at 1 o"cloek. Wag goner was a perfect type of manly beau ty and as brave as a lion. For tha past five pears he had been a terror in that country. Innumerable murders are laid at his door, and his robberies were most daring. He was captured about a , year ao at JNacosuocaes. rex., ana'i brought to Homer, in CI airborne coun ty and tried on a eharg-e of murder. The case was not proven against hiu and he was sent to iha jail here for safe keeping to await tr:al on other charges against him. While at Homer an attempt was made by a mob to kill him, but, single-handed, having in some unaccountable manner obtained possession of a pistol, he kept the whole mob at bay until assistance arrived. Last night the jail here was broken in to by a mob of seventy-five men who shot him dead in his cell, and then dis persed. Waggoner has three' brothers in Nacogdoches, and it is believed that they will make an attempt to avenge his death. The desparado had a good many friends in this section of the country and they may also join in a fued which would be a bloody one, from the outset. SOUGHT REFUGE IN DEATH. Robert A.

The talk about the presidential aspiration of Senator Don Cameron, of lVnn1 rania upon a free silver platform, which was current in political circles several weeks afo. is reviving, and in the fight of certain recent events la assuming re newed significance For some time it has been believed that Senator Cameron really cherished the ambition to head a new faction in a presidential nice, and had fixed upon the advocates of free coinage of silver to form his party. Mcaator Juan Ilia Backer. A close' friend of Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, authoritatively states that Senator Jones is a backer of Mr. Cameron's presidential Loom. This statement opens up a wide range of po- t litical probabilities. It is said that when Senator Jones takes his place at . the head of the silver party, which he has recently joined, a position which, it is claimed, he will occupy by virtue of his prominence in national affairs, his efforts, after looking to 'his own sena torial Interests, will be devoted to an attempt to swing the silver party into line for Don Cameron. j Silver. Party In tha Senate. I Politicians are agreed that the silver part in the senate is soon to become a strong factor. Tliere are indications that reinforcements . are already at hand, coming from the ranks of the re publicans. Dubois, of Idaho, is hinting about , following Jones lead. Teller and Wolcott are held to the republicans by a hair, and are believ ad to. be ready for a movement in the direction of a silver party. Then there are the com- ! ing elections which will fill the vacan- ' cies in the senate existing in the north-' western states. Every one concedes ' that thfi campaign in those states is to be conducted upon a silver platform. If all of these plans toward the creation of j a silver party are successful, it can ' readily be seen what a power it will be : is the senate, Ou a Baals of Financial Reform. The new silver men are to proceed, they claim, upon a basis of effecting a financial reform solely, and by this meaus are to attract to their side a class of voters who would not join a distinctively populist movement, but who would go in for a change in the financial system. It is this new silver party which Senator Cameron is said to have in view In connection with, his presidential aspirations, and which it . is alleged, he is laying his plans to cap- ; ture, THE DROUGHT IN NEBRASKA.
