Ex-President Cleveland Urges His Party to Assume the Aggressive im Behalf of “a Free Ballot and a Fair Count,” as Well as of Tarif? Reform. Washington, D C., Jan. 2.—The Washington correspondent of the Now York Press is authority for the statement that Senator Vest of Mis- siti has already entered the field as ave of Mr. Cleveland's 1892. In: the George Graham Vest of anagers for ispatch to that paper correspondent says: “Senator Missouri ghairman of the senate committee which had been sitting on the dress- ed meat controversy, returned from New York last night. It has leaked out here that his mission to the mee tropolis had to do not only beef, but with politics. | The senator had a long interview | with ex-President Cleveland, during | which he endeavored to ascertain | the attitude of Mr. Cleveland as to | the presidential nomination in 1892. | The correspondent has learned from | an exceedingly authoritative source | that the ex-president assured sena- tor Vest that he was devoting all the | energies at his command to the’ ballot and tariff Continuing, he said that if he had cause of reform. | any friends in the south he desired them to assume the initiative in pushing the fight for ‘1 free ballot | and afair count.’ In his opinion, should the democratic party do so, all outrages upon suffrage perpetra ted not on where, in the south, but else- would surely be crushed.

Mr. Cleveland anxiously asked what effect David B. Hill's visit to the south had had. Senator Vest replied that the governor's iusulting allusion to the ex-president in his Atlanta speech had disgusted all who had heard or read ‘it, and that he had nothing to fear from Hill as a rival in the south. The senator add- ed, however, that the man who would be most likely to worry him was William C. Whitney of New York, and advised him to keep an eye on the ex-secretary of the navy. Mr. Cleveland questioned the sen- ator as to whom the south would fayor for the vice presidential candi date. Mr. Vest replied that Isaac P. Gray of Indiana seemed to be the favorite. He added that the democrats in his section believed that the presidential nominee should be chosen from New York, for with- out that state’s electoral vote it would be impossible to win. In parting with the senator, Mr.- Cleveland sent a message through him to the democyacy of the south urging that it at omce assume the aggressive for ballot and tariff re- form. California Letter Lorpsgvre, Car., Dec. 23, 1889. Ep. Times: It has been a year since I wrote to your valuable paper, and there have been many changes here as well as elsewhere. The past year has done much for this grand country, or rather it has undone some of the foolish bargains and plans made in southern Califor. nia during the boom. Some people think everything is for the best, and it is quite likely that the boom was a graad thing for this country after all. It brought tens of thousands of people here, and of course among j22d all skin eruptions. 80 great a number there were 9 great many who were far-sighted ‘ulated of igeles, Sun (S150 ai j pects to greatest natural advantages in the! world.

St. Louis, Dee. 31.—Word came from the Indian territory that two notorious Indian desperadoes nam ed Red Lendall and Choctow Pete, heavily ioaded with tanglefoot, took possession of the town of Tishwawa on Christmas day. After nearly killing the town marshal, when he attempted to arrest them, they tried to ride their horses into the hotel. At this juncture a well a:med stranger rode up to the hotel and dismounted. The outlaws ordered him away, and cut the halter of his horse. The stranger remonstrated, whereupon Choctaw Pete covered him with his revelver and ordered Lendall to disarm him. As Lendall appreached the stran ger shot him through the heart. A duel then occurred between Pete and the stranger and Pete was shot through the head and killed. The stranger offered to surrender but the terrorized citizens felt more like giving him a vote of thanks, and after eating his dinner he leis- urly rode away. He is supposed to be Winchester Frank the crack shot and renowned scout. An Absolute Cure.
