TO PUNISH MURDERER
Is the Object of Americans in
Mexico.
(Houston Post Special.)
El Pago Texas October 16. Foreign
residents of Fuerte and other cities of
Slnota have taken up with United States
authorities the matter of the recent mur-
der there of the two Americans Way and
LatUmer. at the Instigation of a petty
Mexican official and are protesting at
the light sentences. Although the con-
stable who committed the murders got
the death penalty Torres only gets a
few months in prison and a fine and he
was the cause of killing as he ordered
the policeman to bring in the two men
"dead or alive." simply because they
had refused to salute him when he was
drunk.
An American business man arrived here
this afternoon from El Fuerte with copies
of the protest prepared by the Americana
of the State. These protests denounce
the cowardly murder and declare If It
goes unpunished simply because Torres
has powerful political Influence all for-
eigners In remote Mexican towns will
be at the mercy of Ignorant and preju-
diced petty officials. Copies of the pro-
test are being sent throughout Mexico
to Influential foreigners and to all con-
gressmen and offlclala with Influence In
the United States In the hope of bring-
ing the government to put pressure on
the Mexican courts to reverse the de-
cision of the trial court. "Nothing less
than death for Torres will avenge his
crime" the protest concludes.

Contemptible Slur Upon Grover Cleveland Dowie and Peffer
Campaigning for Roosevelt.
(Special Correspondence;.)
New York. October IS Three weeks
from next Tuesday either Alton B. Par-
ker or Theodore Roosevelt will bo elect-
ed president of the United Stares. - II
Goorge B. Cortelyou official fat-fryer of
the republican party knows what he Is
talking about. It la all over but the
shouting. Roosevelt Is as good as elected
and the voting on the Sth of November
will be a mere matter of form. Mr.
Roosevelt so the official fat-fryer would
have the public understand will have the
(oiliest kind of a walkover. Indeed ha
will have so many electoral rote that
like the old woman In the shoe with her
numerous children he won't know what
to do with them.
But will Mr. Roosevelt hav a merry
or any other kind of a walkover? "Tom"
Watson Mr. Roosevelt s aide partner who
Is running a republican annex says ha
wilL "The unspeakable Addlcks" agrees
with Watson. Former Senator Peffer of
Kansas described a few years ago by re-
publican organs as "th bewhlskered and
lantern-Jawed calamity howler" Is of th
same opinion and says so from th
stump. Astrologers and palmists hav
been consulted and have added to this
convincing array of evidence. And last
but by no means least Elijah II other-
wise known as Dowie the prophet. Das
had a vision which confirms the predic-
tions of Cortelyou and his distinguished
aids before mentioned. Dowle in an Im-
passioned speech to the assembled hosts
of Zlon commanded every on of thaui
to vote for Roosevelt. "T)i democrats"
said the prophet ''are a lot of stink pots
the scum of the earth. Under Roosevelt
we will have a government not of the
people for the people. by the people but
a government of God for God and by
God."
Can the Presidency Be Bought
Despite the. apparent confidence dis-
played by these eminent conservatives
Messrs. Cortelyou Watson Addlcks Pef-
fer and Dowle Roosevelt will not be
elected unless supporters of Parker and
Davis In New York Indiana Connecticut
New Jersey. West Virginia Montana
Nevada. Colorado Delaware Wisconsin
and Illinois prove to be less vigilant than
it Is believed they are and will be until
the close of the polls.
There Is no doubt that the republican
managers have planned to buy the presi-
dency. Evidence accumulates that they are pre-
paring -to use an enormous corruption
fund in the purchase of the floating vote
In certain States. They have been ac-
cused openly of this Intention by two
high class Independent newspapers the
New York Times and the Brooklyn Eagle.
The accusation is supported by that sort
of circumstantial evidence which often-
times Is more convincing than direct evi-
dence. That the disclosures made to the
newspapers named and which have be"n
published by them and not denied by the
republican managers are true no honest
man doubts. The victims who furnlsuM
the information are the heads of large
corporitlons which nre not particularly
interested In the republican campaign oe-
ir.g among the corporations which do not
ih-pond for business success upon he
tariff or other class legislation. They
were "sandbagged" and forced to irii
htrpe sums of money to the republl-.m
National committee the Inference bei iy
that If they failed to do so they would
"hear something drop."
Mr Cortelynu It should be borne In
mind was formerly secretary of the de-
partment of commerce and labor a de-
j'jriment created ostensibly for the pub-
lic benefit but actually managed In the
personal and political Interest of Theodore
fttiosevelt in anticipation of his nomini-
tl .n for the presidency. Whether or not
the Infamous rjan to buy the preslderv y
for Roosevelt can be put through de-
pends -ir"-n the vigilance of the local com-
mittee and Individual voters who re
supporting Parker aid Dnvis. The donn-
cratic National committee is in posses-
sion of evidence fro-n every State In Thi
Union whirl convinces it that the clean
unpurchnsable vote of the country whi h
favors the election "f the democrats
ticket is at l;st a third larger than the
like vote favoring the republican ticket.
And the commiiiee Is convinced that Ihs
drift Is 'with th. democrats nt the pr.-a-ent
time. Parker and Davis will cer-
tainly win the election if the wholesale
debauchery of the ballot contemplated by
the republican managers can be prevent-
ed. To this end the democratic Natlo'ial
committee wlH powerful aid Jrom dem-
ocratic and Independent sources is bend-
ing Its energies. If every democrat!"
voter will consider himself on guard lo
protect the purity of the Nallot - Park ir
and Davis will make as great a sweep as
did Cleveland and Stevenson In
An Infamous Republican Circular
The republican corniptlonists. with mil-
lions already In their campaign chest are
crying begging; browbe itlng. to get
more. They have Just made a secret ap-
peal to Wall street Interests which belles
their professed confidence in a Kooseveil
walkover but Indicates that they lnieiei
to raise every dollar possible nnd buy tne
presidency at any cost. A Wall street
man who received one of these appeals
from the beaduunrter? of tho republican
National tomirittee. scrl It to a pe.son.il
filfncl. Prof Hemy Lou'iuh Nelson :'.
Member of the facu'ty of U inns 'coi-

fend which is asking the government t-
maintain it In p wit .The appeal is inadi
to those v.-ho have money that they pay
for the election of Mr. Roosevelt.
The circular ssys that the real cam-
paign has not yet begun. It says fuither
tint the elect'on dep'tids upon the votes
of men who are indf pend'-nt and It !s to
win these votes that money Is needed. It
slgrifl-nntly declares that among the in-
dt t erdeots upon whose vites all p 'lt-
lr ! contests deperd' Is ihe flcK e .ior
element' The 'grf it c-. not Ifientlf.cil
with any party" is r'lso mentione-i.
Independents and Labor Men
Slandered.
"The independenj vote. Includir'g the
fltkle labor element" Is. according to this
circular to be obtained hefore success
can be had. A great company of speak-
ers 'tons of literature.' and 'all the out-
fit' of a campaign 'calls for a brond-
gauged managtirent and lots of money."
"Again alluding to the Independents It Is
stated:
" Thla latter class (men not Identified
with any party) wag respocslbl (or th i
election of Grover Cleveland In two Na-
tional campaigns a man of peculiar
faults utterly devoid of th qualities
necessary to cope with th duties of th
high office of president of the United
States' This unmanly and contentDtlbl
slur upon Hi first citlien of tne Repub-
lic Is .T.sde in a circular written and pub-
lished tn order to secure money to be ex-
pended for the election of Theodora
Roosevelt. Two years ago as president
and before when he was governor of
New York Thedor Roosevelt aimed to
bring his administrations up to tne high
standard set by Mr. Cleveland's adminis-
tration of the two offices. H used to
say: 'I tklnk that Mr. Cleveland could
do no better than this' or 'I think that
this is even better than Mr. Cleveland
did.' At the funeral of Kir. Harrison. Mr.
Roosevelt crossed the room to Mr. Cleve-
land and said to him In the hearing oi
many persons that he esteemed It a great
honor to have served under his administration-
And now bis underlings at th
head of whom Is Mr. Cortelyou whom
Mr. Cleveland first received Into th
White House as a stenographer turn
upon him and call him a man 'utterly de-
voil of the qualities of statesmanship
necessary to cop with th duties of ttv
high office of president of the United
States.' Base partisanship could not b
baser.
Some Dire Predictions.
"The circular attribute th great build-
ing operations In New York to th re-
publican party's control of th National
government and says that 'If Judge Par-
ker is elected those who now dwell In
New York hotels will be driven to tene-
ment houses.' Th writer of the circular
further remarks: 'I know of a hundred
concerns In this country that would
rather give KO.OOO each than hav a
change of party.'
"The circular then proceeds to deny It
own story of the prosperity which haa
followed the administration aad control
of the republican party and lta author
assuming a confidential air says: 'If you
must know the truth let me. tell you that
there Is danger ahead! With Maryland
and Kentucky out of the republican col-
umn with S0.00O men out of employment
In Chicago with the failure of the crop
In the Dakota with the odds against
us in Montana with an inside fight on
in New York (half the republicans ready
to knife Odell sic) with a cotton mill
sljmp In New England with such con-
ditions no republican with large 'invest-
ments can afford to runany risks.'
"Again: 'Not one dollar of your money
will be thrown away. It will b your
bnad cast upon he waters which shall
bring y.ou not only good returns but you
shall have four years more of prosperity
because you will be protected!' Waa there
wver so shameless a promise made In be-
half of a candidate for president? It Is
here proclaimed that a return in profit
(bread) and protection (by the tariff and
from the operations of the anti-trust
law) will be paid back and given to cam-
paign fund contributor at the experts 3
of the taxpayers.' 1
" 'Why not help a good thing? Do It
today! Do It now! Hon. Cornelius M.
Bliss is the treasurer of the republican
National committee with office at NJ. 1
Madison uvenue." "
These are the last words of this ex-
traordinary circular. Comment Is h rdly
necessary but again it Is well to repeat
the assertion of the Brooklyn Eaj;le and
New York Times that the presidency Is
to be purch:'ie ' if It can be. and to add
that this circu . ippeal to moneyed men
furnishes evidence of the method to bo
employed. True It Is as Erof. Nelson
says: "The republican campaign depends
on money not on principle not on argu-
ment but on money ana such vast sums
are asked for that all Intelligent men
know that the money is not to go for
legitimate expenses but for corruption."
And. furthermore the circular bears evi-
dence of the promise given that to esri-
tributors shall he furnished "bread" and
"protection" for the next four ye-ars. In
the history of all democracies no such
scandalous assault upon the Integrity of
a people has ev-r been made as thit
which the republican leaders with Mr.
Roosevelt's Cortelyou at their head are
now making.

meeting of prominent republicans. The
campaign will b opened by th republic-
ans at fori Worth.
Juog Liuby auii: "The campaign will
be cMn4 at ori Worth. Au republic-
an CojiuuuiMs tor butt ofuces and tUc
prsiomia! electors ar expected to be
titer it wlU b tn opulug of ihoaui-
palgn. "Mr. Rosenthal of Galveston will be
there and speak on Stat Issue and man-
agsmant ot affairs by tne present In-
cumbent In th past few years.
"It ill announced that all republican
candidate and electors will tour the
Stat and are to reach San Antonio on
October JO. Th great pow wow Is to be
held at Houston on October 22. They have
invited th democrats to divide time with
them at all place where a stop may be
made."
Speaking of the congressional race be-
tween Garner and Morin Judge Luby
aald: "l hav not seen Mr. Morln's m m-
ager and hive been absent from the dis-
trict for almost a month. The poll tax
legislation which has Intervened since the
last election will probably result In a
lighter vot. Th preponderance of poll
taxes will b In favor of the republicans.
"Morin ha as much confidence In him-
self as Garner but he Is not optimistic. H
does not claim everything In sight and
claims very little on the Rio Grande. In
fact I think he will get four times as
many votes as ha claims ther.
"Garner In my estimation Is more In
danger In the vicinity where be lives than
In the lower Rio Grande country. He is
however very popular and the peopl
can not assail his character."

days that Temple has experienced In

the farmers' wagons and turned loose.
There will be more picking to do but it
will not require anywhere near the large
force employed during the past six weeks.
As soon as the colored people got In
town there was hastening to snd fro
anv.ng them seeking to reclaim the Jobs
they haa abandoned when the call came
from the fields nearly two months ago.

help to be had now among lb negroes

the magnitude of the business transact-
ed. The public square vacant lots and
streets were Jammed and packed with
wagons buggies and all kinds of ve-
hicles all day long while the throng ot
people surging alung the sidewalks was
equal to a circus day crowd. Reports
coming from Hill county state that tbere
Is a Tot of cotton remaining unpicked

ing that n the recent rioting the extreme
pa.iy tried to Induce uoiaicis to dlsro-
Hra c"sciplino and rebel at Padua. Sub-
versive hymns ere distributed to some
of ll.j soldiers who destroyed the copies
and handeu them to tiiclr superiors. The
subversive propaganda In ihe army Is
seen but It Is powerless against the sens
of duty strongly rooted In the Italian
aimy. still there Is at present" a grave
danger which must be fought. Besides
the nrdli.nrv confiscating of all subver-
sive publications the minister of war ad-
vises that officers undertake a propagan-
da to show the fallacy of certain theories
and for the ohservance of law as a guar-
antee of liberty.

late was defaced and halynrds burned by
an exiled Russian anarchist."
