Mr, George P. Hart was seen in rapid
flight up the alley leading from it.
Oa reaching Cemetery ' street he
turned down that and across to Mont

Chief of Police Southerland and sur
rendered himself and pistol.; '.Then
it was known that Dr. C, S. Boyd
had shot at him twice near Crow &

deliberately on Mam ; street i and
walked down towards themayor's
office till he met the police, to whom
he surrendered himself and his pistol

the charge of an affray. ' Both parties
pled guilty to the charge of carrying

disposition is evidence to the ' people
who know him that his action was
provoked by very bad treatment.

ye all: This administration is going
to be Democratic, in fact ns well as
in name. The overwhelming verdict
of tbe people is to be obeyed, and no I
repuoacan is to be left in a place of
responsibility.- The pace towards
this goal baa not beenprecipitate,
but it has been and will be steady
ana sure until it is reached.' Secre
rary uresnam took the lead, and
there isn't more than one or two re
publicans left in important positions
in the Stat Department. Secretary
Carlisle is a good second, and it will
not be long before all of the chiefs o
divisions of the Treasury Depart
mentwill be. democrats. Secretary
Smith has begun to call for the resig
nations of ,, the republican chiefs of
divisions m the Interior . Department
and he proposes to keep it up until
they are all out. Secretary Morton
has not been behind in proportion to
the size of his department. Post
