Judge DeArmond returned from the Firat Congressional district Fri |day. He spent a week in the district campaigning for Mr. Lleyd, the democratic nominee for congress. to fill the vacancy caused by the death of congressman Giles The election came off Monday and Mr. Lloyd car ried the district by 4,000 or 5,000. There were three tickets in the field: democratic, republican and middle- of the road populist. The populist yote was eo insignificant it was hard- ly worth counting. Lloyd carried the district by an increased majority of several hundred over the vote of last November. Owing to the busy season of the year in the cora fields, it was thought the farmers would not stop work to vote, and the towns in the district being in a large ma- jority of cases republican, the demo- crats would be given a tight rub So an extra effort was made by the democrats, and DeArmond, Champ Clark, Bland, ex-Governor Stone and othera were sent into the district to shake the brush. How well they answered the call is explained above. Nevade, Mo, May 28 —The Ollie Gregg $20,000 damage suit against the Missouri Pacific Railway com- pany was thrown out of court here to-day. Gregg was struck by an engine near Metz on July 21, and very seriously injured, having bis thigh broken, besides sustaining other serious injuries, from all of which he was laid up in bed for fully two months. The defendant held that the accident occurred while plaintiff was trespassing between crossings, and the demurrer was sustained by Judge Stratton. DEMOCRATS WIN IN A WALK Lloyd Sweeps the First District By Five Thousand. Campaign for the Seat in Congress Made Vacant by the Death of Mr. Giles Re- sults in the Complete Route of the Republicans—Gratifying Dem- ocratic Gains Shown in Every Quarter. Macon, Mo., June 1.—Returns re- ceived up to midnight indicate that James T. Lloyd, democratic nominee for congress, is elected by a majority of from 3,500 to 5,000 over Clark, republican. The total vote cast is about 80 per cent of that cast last November. Lloyd carried Hannibal Clark’s home, by 241 plurality, a democratic gain of 206 over Novom- ber election. The day was almost perfect for an election—in fact more perfect than the democrats hoped. The democratic strength is among the farmers in the rural districts, and it was feared if the day was pleasant the sturdy yeomanry would be too busy in the fields to go to the polls. These fears. the result shows, were not well founded, as the farmers of the first district are too loyal to their party to be caught napping. The special election was to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Giles (dem.) who swept the district in November by a plurality of 4,724 votes over Major Clark. Inasmuch asit is the first opportunity the people have had to express them- stlves on national issues since the November election, the result has been closely watched all over the country. Nive townships, including the towns of Macon, Laplata and Bevier in Macon county, gave Lloyd (dem.) 173 plurality over Clark (rep.) for congress. In November these pre. cincts gave Giles (dem.) only 54 plurality over Clark (rep) showing a democratic gain of 119. A telegram from Judge Harrison, chairman of the democratic con gressional committee at Hanniba’, to Captain Guthrie, chairmen of the Macon county democratic committee says Hannibal gives 238 majority for Lloyd; Marion county probably 1,500 to 1,800 majority. Hannibal is Clark’s home. Last November Marion county gave Giles (dem.) 1,316 majority over Clark (rep.) _Johnson township, Macon county, gives Lloyd 57, Clark 36 In No- vember this precinct gave Giles 60 and Clark 48. The Macon county returns thus far mske Lloyd's vote over Clark 125 greater than Giles’ majority over Clark in Macon county in November. Lioyd’s majority io entire district is estimated by Chairman Guthrie at between 4,000 and 5,000. This is said to be a conservative estimate. The specia! election at Hannibal ia this congressional district te day to fillthe vacancy caused by the death of R. H. Giles, the city of Hannibal gave Lloyd (dem.) 1,378; Clark, (rep.) 1,137; Miller (pop ) 12. At the November election Clark (rep ) carried the city by 3,500. Net democratic gain 256. The returns so far received indicate that Lloyd's majority in Marion county will be TILLMAN PRODS DEEP. Charges of Speculation Against Senators Worry Him. PITCHFORK AGAIN IN PLAY. Demand Made That the Senate be Purged of Corruption. THRUSTS AT SUGAR MAGNATES. Their Part in Tariff Beal Regarded With Suspicion. ASKS EOR INVESTIGATION. Washington, D. C , May 28.—After a long period of silence Senator Till- map, of South Carolina, startled the senate to-day by a speech no less dramatic in its delivery than sensa tional in ita allegations. He preced- ed it by presentiog a resolution for the appoistment of a special com mittee of five senators to investigate charges of speculation by senators while the tariff biil was before the finance committee. In advocating the resolution Mr. Tillman threw aside the usuel conventionalities of the senate, and with a plainness of speech seldom heard about the halls of congress called on his associates to investigate the published charges of senatorial speculation, and, if found true, purge the senate of thos3 who debauch it. Mr. Aldrich, in charge cf the tariff bill, answered Mr. T:llman in a sweeping denis] Mr. Tillman's resolution quotes the senate r-sclution of May 17, 1894, authorizing the origimal in- quiry, and then, sfter reciting ihe proce-dings in the Chapman and Havemeyer trials, proceeds: Wherens, within the last thirty days suudry newspaper correspond- ents have openly charged senators with speculating in sugar while the echedule was under discussion, andaleo charged that brokers ia New York knew in advance as to what the senate finance committee would re- port as to the sugar schedule, all of which involves a question of the highest privilege, to-wit: The right of the senate to protect its members from slander and to protect the body as a whole from those open charges of corruption; therefore, be it, Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed, with power to send for persons and papers, to employ a stenographer and to administer oathe, to inquire into the truth or falsehocd of charges made in May, 1894, and into the charges recently made, and the scope ot the investi- gation shall cover everything em- braced in the resolution of May 17, 1894, as well as the methods pursued by the American Sugar Refining company, better known as the sugar trust, in controlling legiclation in its favor at the present time. And es- pecially whether it hasia any wise contributed to or controlled the elec tion of a senator in this body at any time.” SENATOBIAL DIGNITY NO BULWARK. The presiding officer, Mr. Frye, promptly ruled that the resolution shou'd go to ths committee on con tingent expenses, but Mr. Tillman obtained consent to make a state- ment. “We have arrived at a time,’ he began, “when the senate can no longer afford to rest under the damning accusations made against senators. If there are men here de- bauching the senate, then we should be purged of them. If thes reports are elanders, then the press galleries should be purged We cannot afford to lay back on our dignity any long- er and say we will not investigate ” It had been charged that Presi dent Cleveland met the sugar mag- nates on a yacht and discussed de- tails of the schedule of the then pending tariff bill. There was noth- ing to fasten that damning accusa- tion on the president, Mr. Tillman said, but Senator Joner, of Arkunsas had recently furnished evidence to Is what gives Hood’s Sarsaparilla its great popularity, its constantly increasing sales, and enables it to accomplish its wonderful and unequalled cures.

Mr. Jones quickly arose and stated that on two occasions Mr. Cieveland had said to him that he thought the ce on raw sugar was necessary to ths American refineries and that the 40 would drive the refineries out of tho business. Proceeding, Mr. Tillman said it might be that Mr. Cleveland desired to carry out a bargain, and if so the senate ought to find it out. Here Mr Gray of Delaware, chairman of the former investigating committee, interrupted. The statement, he said, that a sugar schedule had been made upcn Mr. Benedict's yacht, when the president was on board with officers of the eugar trust, was not true, and its falsity had been es- tablished after the committee bad probed the statement to the bottom. Continuing, Mr. Tillman exclaim- ed: “Both parties are involved, and ons ia as deep in the mud as the Other is in the mire. You know of the reports against certain members of the old finance committee, and now we have more damning accusa- tions against the present committes.” Mr Pettus of Alabama, interrupted to ask Mr. Tillman not to deal in generalities, but to put a mark on the senators by name. TO MARK THE @UILTY SENATORS. “That is what I want an inquiry for—to mark theee men,” respond- ed Mr. Tillman. “I donot went the poor man to suffer while the mil- lionaires are turned loose.” After protests from Mr. Pettus that Mr Tillman should name at east one senator accused, Mr. Till man went on to state that when the former tanff bill was framed the finance committee had left their committee room and had taken quar- ters at the Arlington hotel. The senator is grossly mistaken,” interrupted Mr. Vest of the finance committee. “The democratic mem- bers of the finance committee did not goto the Arlingtun hotel, or anywhere e'sewhere outside their committe room at the Capitol.” Mr. Tillman said that he wes glad the democratic party was relieved to that exteat, but added: “Now no one denies that for the last last two months atthe Arlington have been occupied by the finance cemmittee, ineasy touch with the telephone to New York, ard easy reach of agents of the sugar trust.” “Why was it,” he asked, ‘‘that the sugar trust can always command a specific, instead of an ad valorem duty; why was it that they cleared $25,000,000 in three years? It was the democratic party who made it poseible in 1894” Mr Tillman said he would now present specifications and had read a number of signed articles in the newspapers of New York, Chicago and elsewhere, making various charges against senators. some by name. SENATORS WHO HOLD SUGAR. The first article began: ‘Smith ahead on suger,” and spoke of the New Jersey Senator’s selling 6,000 shares of sugar stock, ehort, ata frofit of $3,000. Mr. Smith was not in the chamber at the time. Another article spoke of ths large profits to senators and stated that 9,000 shares of sugar stock bad been handled the day before for tbree senators. Mr. Tillman said it was about time these specific charge2, most of them signved with ths names of their authors, should be probed. There should be no mixture of the old in- vestigation and the new one. “Let us not mix up the democrat- Lowest Priced Hardware and Implement Grocery, Store in Butler.

The republicans had received the recent campaign contributions from “the octupus,” he said, and it should be brought to the light before the American people, if this “gang of thieves and robbers” were to have | all they wanted, then let the Ameri- can laboring man realize what a glorious senate represented him at Wasbiogton. In conclusion, Mr. Tillman reiterated that if the senate is “rotten to the bottom,” it should be proved. If these charges were false then the lies should be laid bare. If the charges were true, then, he said, the guilty senators should be turned out and the senate purg- ed Mr. Aldrich, republican membz2r | of the finance committee and in charge of the tariff bill, immediately took the flocr as Mr. Tillman closed. It had been charged, or inferred, be: ssid, that the sugar tiust dictated the sugsr schedule. ALDRICH MAKES DENIALS. “But I desire to say to the senate to the senator (Tillman) and to every man in the United States that no person connected with the sugar trust atany time or at any place influenced the framing of the sugar schedule or received information as to ite character. “I desire to make the statement as broad as the Englieh Janguage can make it,” Mr. Aldrich ssid, “that no living person outside of the members of the committee bad eny information as to the eubject until thirty six hours before it was reported. Then the senator from Nevada (J. Jones) bad been shown the schedule.
