He has not asked, nor have his friends asked the support of a single delegate. He will not, nor will his friends at any time make a fight for the nomination, Yet Senator Wallace is a candidate. He will accept a nomination that comes from the people of their own accord. He will lead the party to victory, but will not head a faction.

Cutting may not be a saint but saint or sinner he is a citizen of the Unitnd Suines, and is entitled to the protection of her flag. It is to be hoped that wise counsel will prevail in Mexico and the demands of this government be complied with, If not, there is but one remedy, a resort to arma, All that the United States asks is simple justice. No Americen can be tried, convicted and punished, in Mexico for a libel in the United States, on that point, every American citizen will be firm and uncompromising. of Tug following gentlemen, all able and honest democrats are in the field as candidates for Congress and any one of them would make a worthy sucoesor 0 Gov.

The funeral was from the widowed mother's residence and was accompanied by over one hun dred persons. Mrs, Gleason owned a lot in Calvery and it was her desire to bury her son by the side of her husband, Arriving at the cemetery it was discov. ered that the deed to the cemetery lot had been left behind, Superintendent Guinea refused to allow the interment to be made unless the permit was first produced, and called the police, it is said, to eject the funeral party. He armed himself with a shotgun. A panic ensued among the mourners; two of the women fainted, and a stampede ensued. The gun was discharged, but no person was shot. [tis stated that Guinea threatened to fire into the crowd, and that when he presented his gun it was knocked from his hands. thus discharging it. The Superintend. ent’s son was armed with a horse pistol, It went off during the excitement and one of the motirners sustained a slight flmh wound in the leg.
