The Democrats say he consented and a runup convention was called at Lexing ton, he was nominated and the ball opened. It was throughout an exceedingly clever game, and was engineered by some of ■the shrewdest men in the State. The Republicans have followed it up no less shrewdly. They have not made an aggressive tight, hut have contented them selves with < "ganizint and getting their normal vote in a quiet way. have do eiined joint discussions, and have left the “Brownies," as the bolters are call ed. to give and receive the hard knocks of the campaign, in the hope that Brown could draw enough votes from the Democratic ranks to let Taylor in. The part of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in the tripartite arrangement was to put up the funds and free passes for the hilarity. The charge that the Ismisville and Nashville Railroad is lighting Goebel is not inert' campaign talk. It makes no secret of its hostility, the reasons of which are numerous. The Railroad Commissi n increased the assessment of railroad property SM.tVO.t oh. The Louisville and Nashville sought to have the Commis sion abolished; Goebel had it made a c institutional office instead, lie intro duced a bill making railroads responsible for injury to one employe through the negligence of another .and secured its passage, but it was vetoed by Governor Bradley. He defended and secured the acquittal of some railroad employes who had engaged in a strike, aml Refused to accept a fee for it. He had on many occasions as a lawyer won damage suits against the mail. It retaliated by put ting a mark over against his name, and this campaign in Kentucky is in essence a war of the railroad on Mr. Goebel. f Ttl'E lvß< HVN HO 1.1 OWING. The magnitude of the so-called revolt of Democrats in this State Iras been greatly overestimated. The Brown following is a much mixed posey. There are three elements of it: some formerly good Denw»crats.*a job-RCft of mugwumps and as tough a lot of plug-uglies as can be found off the Bowery. Some men who have hitherto been loyal supjrorters have accepted the charges against Mr. Goe- Ih-1 as true and led by the glamour of Gernor Brown’s name will support him. Their number is a matter of conjecture, overnor Brown’s name will support him. estimate. It will certainly fall under the Brown estimate. Then there are the mugwumps who are just like the mugwumps everywhere else—too wise and good to belong to any party and whose support is always occasion for condoling with the supported. And lastly come the plug-uglies under the leadership of •lohn \\ hallen, a local politician and proprietor of a notorious for-men-only play house here, which is also the political headquarters of his contingent. Demo crats assert that of the prominent men supporting Brown there is not one with out a Htr sinister on his quartering*. Certainly there is nothing in this State that tail be calhfd a Democratic revolt; the Democrats in it tare in a big minor ity. It has. however, made a prodigous amount of noise, having the support of two daily newspapers in Louisville, beside the regular Republican organs, and being possessed of a t»n>s of speakers of much value and some ability. One thing that has set the whole State agrin. even in so serious a tight, has been the sjH'ctaelo of Mil alien's heelers joining the pious and truly good mug wumps in an "Honest Elections League” and shouting for “purity in politics.” OH AS.

(’HAS. HALLO OK. The article alluded to by Mr. lludock is as follows: WINGED JUSTICE IN TILE WEST Claremore. I. 'l'.. Oct. 10. —To how few people of this republic, aud especial ly to the citizens of our highly cultured and closely policed cities, is it known that in some parts of tin* country the strong arm of the law is taxed to Its utmost to dispense anything resembling justice. Vet such is the ease. Riots, robberies and the making of “moon shine” whiskey were common events in the Ini’ an Territory until rercntly, hut thanks to the ingenuity of United State Mai.-hal lam E. Rennett, who instituted the custom of holding court in the open air and in tue country of the law breakers, that section promises to become as quiet and law-abiding as any in the Union. Marshal Bennett was led to take this step because he.fully realized that with the small force of deputy marshals placed at his disposal it was next to im possible to make the necessary charges and arrests, for he was enabled to as sign only one marshal to cover a large portion of the district; and it is not strange that this one man should have been intimidated by the numerous body of outlaws on the scout. Marshal Ben nett further took into consideration the character of the laws governing misde meanor cases, which, being under the Arkansas law, the fees provided for tliie payment of officers and witnesses were so meagre that many offenders in this class of crime went unpunished, as the parties injured preferred to suffer the depredations rather than to travel 40 or 50 miles to a commissioners’s office to make complaint, and then have to ap pear as witnesses, for which they only received 50 cents per day, with mileage so long as they resided anywhere in the northern district. In consequence of these conditions, Marshal Bennett concluded that by n consolidation of a portion of his forces, and by invading the country of the enemy, carrying with him a United States (Commissioner who could give the guilty parties a summary hearing, and dispense justice on the spot, justice would be done, the people given a chance to state their grievances, and tin* Gov ernment saved a great deal of expense, the results have fully borne out the wisdom of these conclusions. The first trip was made with United States Commissioner Yoitey, and as the result was so entirely satisfactory, the trips were decided on permanently. A short time ago United States Marshal Bennett, neeoiiq aided by deputies Have Adams. A. M. Lewis, A. J. Trail. \V. E.

T„ and by slow and easy stages eoveml a large portion of tin* Territory. The rule was to camp at same particular spot and remain there until all the work in that .section was disposed of, and then move. This trip lastid until August ffrd, and was not by any means a picnic, for the early part of the trip was accompanied by very heavy rain, high waters, which menu: o'tker ferrying or swimming the streams, which was done by the deputies, who never let so small a tiling as swimming a river stop them if there was a chance to capture a prisoner, and many we.t tl:e wettings they received. But swimming rivers is only a small part of the adventures of the Indian Territory deputies. The wild rides after criminals up hills, over tangled thickets and miry ,->wanipr, the shouts of the half-breeds helping in the capture of some r-inj.'ing horse thief, the storming of the castle of same frontier hero who ! lu*s been particularly notorious for bis, <Ti -i ; rndo nr: omplislunents are all inei- 1 dents of almost daily occurrence, and many a lurid romance could be written on the adventures of the deputies who let no obstacle or danger stand in the way of the peri mmianei of their duty.

The results of our last trip were that sixty-seven arrests were made for va rious crimes, and the culprits are either now receiving their punishment or are awaiting ttrial at the coming Fall terms of court. Thera can be no doubt as to tile success of this system, as it does all that M irslial Bennett claims for It, and is a great Mafe-guard to law-abiding citizens, for they feel that the Govern ment is looking after them, and that where a few years ago the outlaw and cutthroat laughed at the law by reason of its long distance from them, they now know that justice will be brought to their door and fully and fairly adminis tered. and as a consequence during these trips, many men whose conscience told them of their evil doing removed from the country although there was actually no writ or warrant out for them, and it would astonish one to see the number of men who have sudden calls to the States as soon as this itinerant court conns in their vicinity. H. JENNINGS. putted States ("omnrix> ioner, Northern District Indian Territory. COL. WILLIAMS DEAD. Death of a Devoted Confederate and Leading Citizen of Winchester. Kit troll. N. Oct. 27. -(Special.)— Tidings have just reached us of the death of Col. John J. Williams, of Win chester, Yu., brother of Mrs. J, B. Avirett. At the time of his death Col. Wiiliams was serving his fourth term as mayor of Winchester, of which he was tin* first citizen. No other man had ever served the community as long, as vari ously and as jealously. The Williams’ family long noted for wealth, culture and ability, were the prime movers on the establishment of the great Confederate cemetery at Win chester. the model for all others at the South, of which it was, I believe, the very first. For the Confederate cause in all its many forms. Col. Williams and his sisters worked to tin* last—and worked intelligently and effectively. In tin* war for Southern Independence he served as a member of Chews daunt less battery till wounded at Auburn, Ya.. in ISUo. After that and until Ap pomattox with the Eleventh Vi ginia cavalry. At the time of his death, be sides numerous civic offices of trust and honor, he was Commander of the Turner Ashly Camp of Confederate Veterans, and also commander of the Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans of Virginia. Col. Williams was fifty-seven years old and had for over thirty years been a highly successful lawyer. A TEST EXPERIMENT. Peculiar Power Possessed by a New Medicine. Os new discoveries there i* no end, but one of the most recent, most remarkable and one which will prove invaluable to thousands of people, is a discovery which it is believed will bake the place of all other remedies for the cure of those common and obstinate diseases, dyspep sia, and stomach troubles. This discov ery is not a loudly advertised, secret patent medicine, but is a scientific com bination of wholesome, perfectly harm less vegetable essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and bismuth. These remedies are combined in lo zenge form, pleasant to take, and will pre serve their good qualities indefinitely, whereas all liquid medicines rapidly lose whatever good qualities they may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed to file air. This preparation is called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and it is claimed that one of these Tablets or lozenges will di gest from 300 to 3,000 times its own weight of meat, eggs and other whole some food. And this claim has been proven by actual experiments in the fol lowing manner: A hard boiled egg cut in to small pieces was placed in a liottle con taining warm water heated to ninety eight degrees (or blood heat), one of the Tablets was then placed in the bottle and the pro|K*r tem perature maintained for three hours and a half, at the end of which time the egg was ns completely digested as it would have been in a healthy stomach. This experiment mats under taken to demonstrate that what it would do in a bottle it would also do in the stomach, hence its unquestionable value in the cure of dyspepsia and weak diges tion. Very few people are free from some form of digestion but scarcely two will have he same symptoms. Some will suffer most from distress after eat ing, bloating from gas in the stomach and bowels, others have acid dyspepsia or heartburn, others palpitation or head aches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, extreme nervous ness as in nervous dyspepsia, but they all have same cause, failure to properly digest what' is eaten. The stomach must have rest and assistance and Stu art's Dyspepsia Tablets give it lioth. by digesting the food for it and in a short time it is restored to its normal action and vigor. At same time the Tablets are so harmless that a child can take them with benefit. This new preparation has already made many astonishing cures, as for instance, the following: After using only one package of Stu art’s Dyspepsia Tablets I have received such great aml unexpected benefit that I wish to express my sincere gratitude. In fact it has been six months since I took the package and I have not had one pavtide of distress or difficulty since. And all this in ithe face of the ffact that the best doctors I consulted told mo my ease was Chronic Dyspep sia and absolutely incurable as I had suffered twenty-live years. I distributed half a dozen packages among my friends here who are very anxious to try this remedy. MRS. SARAH A. SKEELS, Lyimville, Jasper County, Mo.

HE'S A SLICK DOCK A Negro Preacher Confers Degrees on English Clergymen. THEY PAY I OR THE HONOR WHEN THE SOURCE LS LEARNED WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH TIIE DEGREE? EPISODES IN DR. BARRETT’S CAREER He Brought the Daughters of an English Clergyman to Teach In His Ram shackle School. Figured In Gold Brick Deal. A letter was recently received in Ral eigh asking whether there was an in stitution located at tin* capital known as Pee Dee Collegiate Institute with a Dr. Barrett as president. The letter went on to say: "This s<>-< ailed university in North Carolina has been conferring degree upon certain British clergymen in Eng land and a friend from there writes me, making inquiries regarding it. I have written to Dr. Barrett, but can get no reply. Can you give me the num ber of students and the relative impor tance of the said institution?” The party to whom the letter was written replied that there was no such man and no such school at Raleigh. The Wadesbom Messenger and Intelligencer throws some* light upon the “Rev. Dr. Barrett" that will make those “British clergy men in England” upon whom de grees have been conferred feel that they would be better off without the degrees. It would be interesting lo know the scale of prices at which “Rev. Dr. Bar rett” disposed of his degrees. Our Wadeshoro contemporary says: “In tlyo past few years flu* Messenger and I ittriTligencer has had occasion, at different times, to <a!l attention to the doings of Rev. A. M. Barn tt. tool.), <>r Pee Dee. Barrett, as is well known in this section, is principal of a sdhool at Pee Pee, this county, which he calls, we believe, the Pee Ike Collegiate In stitute. It will be renumbered that this .paper printed an account, several years ago, of how Barrett and Dan Robin son, also colored, bucked the green goods men in Jersey City and were touched for about SBOO. This money was furn ished by Robinson, who was persuaded by Barrett to accompany him to New York and engage in the venture. Os course Barrett denied his connection with the affair, but we had the entire story from Robinson, at the time, and there is no doubt of his guilt. "Another episode which shows Barrett up in a very bad light, and which was also exposed in the Messenger and In telligencer, was the bringing of a young HMy, the'daughter of a clergyman of tin* Established Church of England, to America for the purpose of teaching in his school. Barrett, who is a very slick duck, had been in England begging con tributions to this school and, probably, so wrought upon the feelings of the girl’s father that he permitted her to accompany him to this country in about the same spirit we send missionaries to China. "“Tin* girl’s arrival at Pee Dee. and our subsequent pniblhation of the facts, as they came to us from a gentleman to whom she told her story, on the train lietwoen Raleigh and Pee Dee, caused no little excitement and there was talk, in some quarters, of dealing severely with Barrett. Ilowiver, that worthy was not molested. hut Mr. George Warburton, of Rockingham, who is 1 an Englishman by birth, went to Pee Dee and rescued the girl from the. ■ clutches of Barrett and cufried her to ! his own home, where he kept her until he could communicate with her father and send her home. “In conclusion, we will say that any person passing Pee Dee on the ears will see, if they look from the win- I dow, n large brick building which ap | pears to lie on the eve of falling, and I which is supported by a number of props.
