Hurry Tracy Thinks The Ilopub-
llcun Party Will Dissolve,
Ami That Iho People's Parly Will Alt-
sorb all tbe 1'ntrlotn.
Doling News.
This what Mr. Harry Tracy,
state lecturer of the people's
party, thinks of the situation :
"If as the dispatches indicate,
the party has elected the presi-
dent and is In control of both
houses of congress, the repub-
lican party, I predict, will go to
pieces. In the south and west
its rank and file will go to the
people's party, while the rich
republicans, with whose inter
euis President Cleveland is iu
line, will gravitate to the dem-
ocratic party. The common
people of the east will of course
come to the people's party.
President Cleveland will find
himself confronted with difficul-
ties such as have not beset any
administration for thirty years.
With the executive and legis-
lative branches of the govern-
ment democratic he will find
himself at the head of a fearful
antagonism. Hia party is es-
sentialy Janus faced, looking
one way on linance and protec-
tion iu the south and west and
another in the east. The re-
Hull will be that the hopeB of
the party leaders will not be
realized aud a very pronounc-
ed reaction with strength to
the people's party will be the
result. The iepublican party
was in its incipiency a party of
reform It won its reform and
then the special object for
which it was organized ceased
to exist. Another reform move-
ment is now on foot which of-
fers the members of the repnb-
licau parly a new object to
light for."
uTlua prinoipIt « «gpou« <l
Gov. Hogg do not seem to har-
monize with those of President
Cleveland."
"Hogg bad to step off the
democratic platform to win.
The truth is ihat 75 per cent of
his following will two years
from now be with the people's
party. Forty percent of Hogg's
votes at this election belonged
to the people's party aud only
voted for Hogg because they
feared the election of Clark.
During the campaign I came
across a thousand men who ac-
knowledged that tbey bad
compromised themselves by
going into the primaries, but
they said that after the election
they would be with us."
In the political reformation
that you expect will Gov. Hogg
be with the democratic party,
say two years hence ?"
I think he will then be es
seutially in line with the dern
The battle has to be fought
The record which the people's
party has made in Texas this
campaign makes me proud of
the party. Its members bad to
fight agt-.iiist old party affllia
tions and old party associa-
tions without hope of sucoess
The end of the trouble will de-
velop the fact that the Anglo-
Saxou blood of this country is
equal to all emergencios and
will be able to perpetuate the
principles of American lib-
erty."
WORLD'S FAIIt DIRECTORS.
WHAT IB CATARRH P
The Opinion of aa Eminent Modi
eal Authority.
Catarrh is the cause of more
diseases than all other causes
combined. There are very few
diseases to which human flesh
is subject that can not be traced
direcrly to catarrh. Not only
is catarrh capable of producing
a great variety of diseases, but
it also attacks any organ or
part of the body. It oauses in
the ears deafness, in the eyes
blindness, in the head And
Resolute Iu Fnv * of Opening the
Exposition on Suudujs.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 11.—At
the regulAr meeting of the
world's fAir directors this After
noon a resolution was passed
favoring the opening of the
world's fair gates Sunday pro-
vided the machinery be not
run. The directors declare
as the nations of the earth have
been invited to attend the fair
it would be highly discourteous
and inhospitable to inform
them they cannot do or Snnday
what they would do were they
at home. The closing of the
gates Sunday says the resolu-
tion, "means that thousands of
artisans and mechanics to
whom it will be a boon of ines-
timable advantage, will not be
able to attend it." The direc-
tors say they are in favor of al
lowing e7ery nation to hold
withiu the grounds such relig-
ious services as it may desire
on Sunday, They also think
it desirable that the gates be
opened to all visitors from dif-
ferent portions of the union to
meet socially at their state
buildings.

without a following. I am
more than satisfied with the re-
sult. We started in the cam-
paign with not over 30,000 votes
and we find 115,000 cast for
Nugent. Nationally we have
carried the Rocky Mountain
states and perhaps Kansas and
Nebraska. In fact nearly all
the republican region west of
the Missouri river and most re-
mote from the money center,
New York has come to us.
Eastward iu the course of the
wave, and four years from now
it will sweep everything before
it. This election has destroy-
ed sectionalism. The place of
birth of our candidate for
president will cut no figure in
his election, and Thomas L.
Nugent may live to be presi
dent of the United States be-
fore the next census is taken.
"The trend of affairs during
the last seven years has beeu
toward the unification of the
northwest and the south
against the spoliating schemes
of New England and her cousin

Clark a local politician. In to-
day's Issue of the anti-liquor
prohibition organ, of which
Moffat is editor, there appeared
an article in which Clark was
censured. To-night Moffat was
walking up the street on the
way to the First Baptist
Church. Clark met him and a
quarrel took place in which
Moffat was shot in the abdo-
men. His condition is extreme-
ly critical. Clark waa arrested.
Dallas Men Who Woo aud Lost
on the Election.
Dallas Tex., Nov. 10.—To-
day and tonight the republi
cans and Clark men have been
busy paying off their bets. It
is estimated that the democrats
won $30,000 on the results in
New York and general results
and thousand* of dollars were
placed on the gubernatorial
coutest and lost. Sam Klein is
probably the heaviest winner
in the city.
The friends of Gov. Hogg are
claiming 90,000 plurality over
Judge Clark and 75,000 over
Judge Nugent to night, and are
the happiest crowd on the face
of the earth.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 13.—1
horrible murder was committed
at the residence of Mrs. Mary
Murphy, No. 18 Swiss street
this afternoon while a wedding
oelebratiou was in progress, P
F Murphy cutting the throat
of his brother, William J. Mur
phy, with a razor. Mrs. Mur-
phy's daughter Annie was
married yesterday to John B.
Kerwith and a reception was
given at her mother's house
this afternoon. A large num-
ber of guests were in attend
ance. P. F. Murphy, or Frank,
as he is called, was drinking.
He looked himself in a room
refusing to mingle with the
guests. When supper was
ready W. J. Murphy went to
Frank's room and asked him to
join the others. Frank refused
to open the door and William
climbed tnrough a window.
What passed between the
brothers no one knows. In a
'ew minutes Frank came out
of the room with his hands
and clothing covered with
blood and laid a bloody razor
on the table. He went directly
across the street to the police
station and gave himself up.
Upon investigation it was
found that William was dead,
his head having been litterally
severed from his body. Frank
said he killed his brother in
self defense.
Mall Itobbera Routed.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 12.—A
most daring attempt was made
late last night to rob the mail
car on the W. Si A. R. R. at the
thirty-first mile post north of
here. Four masked men made
the attack while the engine was
taking- water.
Shots were exchanged by
them with the mail clerks and
train hands. The flagman, John
Abston, was shot in the leg.
The would-be highwaymen
made their escape in the dark.
Denison, Tex., Nov. 10.—
When the cotton mill was be-
ing erected a youug man by the
name of Ralph Bushman work-
ed upon the building. Shortly
after it was finished he left
saying he was going to his
home in Atlanta, Ga., where
his father is a prominent phy
sician. Instead of doing this
he went to New Orleans, where
he failed to find work and was
soon reduced to stringent cir-
cumstances. About this time
he met a friend named A. S.
DeWitt, who took him to his
home and aided him in getting
work. He stayed with DeWitt
for three weeks and suddenly
disappeared. About a week
later two forged checks were
found by DeWitt which had
been cashed by Bushman. One
was for $50 and the other for
$25, Bushman's father was
notified and made good the
amount. Youug Bushman was
not heard of for a long time,
but It has just been learned
that he died at El Paso early
in October.
