Fe a fe IS A TRUE DEMOCRAT STILL. Ex-Governor Glick Reaffirms His Party Allegiance. Beheves in Free Coinage and # Tariff for Revenue Only—Says the Only Redeeming Feature of the Repnbil- nan War Tariff is That « Portion of the Plunder Comes Back in the Form ot Pensions Topeka, Kan, July 13 —*You may eay that I am a democrat,” said ex-Governor George W. Glick tc- day to a Times correspondent, when he was asked whether he bad any- thing to say about bis resignation as United States pension agent. “What kind of a democrat?” “Iam a people's democrat, anda stricty 16 to 1 democrat.” “And a tariff for revenue deimo- crat?” “Tf,” said Governor Glick, in re- ply, “there is anything in the world that could possibly reconcile m9 to the robber tariff of the republican party it is this.” So saying he laid before the correspondent his arnual report as pension agent for the dis trict embracing Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Indian Territory, Oklaho- ma and New Mexico. “It is a consolation,” continued Mr. Glick, “to know that while the tariff is robbing millions of western farmers, that some ot the spoils are coming back to a part of them fora worthy purpose,” and as he said this he placed his finger on the $15,141, 109.68 that is paid annually in pen- sions to the old soldiers of the three states and three territories me tioned. The amount is divided es follows: Amount. New Mexico . aie 1,200 175,208 There were on the rolls at the be- ginuing of the year, under the juris dictioa of the Topeka agenoy. 105,- 041 pensioners.

From the Chicago Times-Heraid. Gov. Robert Taylor will succeed the late Ishman G Harris in the Senate of the United States. This much is learned from a very near and dear political friend of the gov- ernor's who is here direct from Nashville. Taylor will one day this week resign the porition of or and Lieut. Gov. Thompson, who will succeed him as his executive, will appoint the great lecturer and govern- orator to the seat that for 20 years| has been held by the most unique of all southern ch:racters. It hes been Taylor's embition to enter thesenate | for some yea:s I wrote a etory in thes3 columns a month ago to the effect that the governor would be a candidate to succeed Senator Bate whose term wil expire two years hence. And be would have been had not Harris’ death occurred. Taylor is one of the most popular of the Tennes:eeans. He is South ern to the core. There is much bombast about the map, but heis as honest as politicians get to be these days. During all his life he has stocd up straight es a rivet for De- mocracy. He has never bean a back slider. Even when his party p!at- form did not coaform to his ideas he swallowed it uncomplainingly. Had anyone else been at the head of his state ticket it would bave gone into the McKinley colimn. Taylor does not particulerly believe in free gilver nor is he x populist. But his state convention laid down a plan and he followed. He did hia fighting before the convention met. He is an inimitable story teller. He loves fried chicken b:-tter than a hound dog loyes pot liquor. He drinks his whiskey straight and he pulls off his hat to every lady that he meets. He can play the fid- dle, he can ride a horse bareback, and cau follow the hounds till the horn blows for breakfast the next morning. He knows the difference between a thoroughbred and fetlcck stock, and worships a blue-eyed baby with a devotion characteristic of the mountain man. He can talk, he can sing, he can fiddle and he can cut the pigeon wing. He is breezy and he is bright. Such a figure would be a valuable acquisition to the staid and sedate senate. By a peculiar accident Taylor was elected to the Forty-sixth Congress. He wasthea to fame and fortune unknown. He beat Pettibove a car- pet-bagger from Michigan, not by bis own strength cr the streogth of his party, but became his brother Alf, took the stump for him. In Congrers Taylor was a genersl fav- vorite. He got more notoriety be- cause of a speech made by General Bragg of Wisconsin one night when some pension bill that had been fathered by Taylor, was up for dis- cassion than anything else which he ever did while in the House. Bragg gave Bob a cruel blow, and it took the Tennesseean a long time to recover from it. In ccurse of his remarks General Bragg said: “I regret very much that my duty asa corgresemon requires that I oppese the passage of this act granting a pension to this poor soldier who was shot to death with chronic diarrhea in 1861 and never found it out until 511881.” As a declaimer his friead, Bryan, is ?/not a marker tohim While in con- 5| gress Bob got the floor as often as the speaker would allow him. When he could not make a speech to his fellow members he would go to the ;| committee rooms and orate to the clerke. It wasa passion for him in thoee days to repeat the celebrated s|spesch delivered half a century ago *| by his famous unc’e, Hon. Langton C. Haynes, which was Perhaps, the fineet o:atory that every fell from ja Southerrer's lips. It was about the mountains and the valleys, the \prother Alf. It was celled the war | of ihe roses and bad the contest ce- |curred a half century ago it would ‘have been the most pictusresque | event in American polities. Alf |made a great race but was defeated. | Then he went to congress and made | | brother, who had preceeded him, had made. It is his ambition now |to be a prosperous farmer in East | Tennessea. | For fifteea years it has been Bob's desire to go to the senate. Once be was elected Sevator but before | the result cau'd be announced a vote which he covld not spare was cheng- ed and Bob spent the remainder of the day ip tears. The successful jman wes Jackson. He has hai the | senatorial fever ever tince that day. It was for this that he ran for Gov ernor the first tims. It was for this that be took ths vomination for the same Oflice last year when he really did not want it. Asa word painter he has no equalin Tennessee. Had le been contemporanecus with Wm. B. Haskell he would have rivaled that prodigy of traditional oratory. Reflections of a Bachelor. New York Press. The wors! cynic in the world is defenselees aga‘nst the love of a lit- tle child.

Louisville, Ky, July 14—The State Convention of the Gold Demo erats met here this afterncou to nominate a candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Special importance attaches to the convention bacause gold Democrats throughout the entire country expect to take part in the coming campaign in this State, aad the issue will be clearly drawn between gold and silver. The delegates from cut of town, numbering 200, were swelled in the convention ha'l by a big delegation, attracted by speeches from John G. Carlisle aud other gold leaders. Secretary Hampton, of the Repub- lican State Committea, announced this morning that all negotiations for fusion of the Republicans and gold Democrats were at an end. Just after the surrender at Appo- mattox the late Senator Harris, of Tennessee, who then had a pric set on his head by his old friend Parson Brownlow, addressed a regiment of Confederates who were arxious to “stand by” him. He told them that he was going to Mexico for reasons of his owa, and that, while he would be glad to have their company, he thought they ought to stand by Tennessee, as they could do best by going home and going to work. They went home, and those cf them who are still living are still working. As a result, the State, ruined by the struggle of great armies, is again taking its old place of leadership in the Union.

Cartater lives on the New London gravel road, at Salt River. They called nim out, and he was com- manded to hold up his hands, the three men pointing huge guns in his face. They then tied his hands be- hind his back and led him into the house, where they also tied Mrs. Cartater. The robb:ra then demanded the money that was supposed to bo in the house, belonging to the gravel | road company. Mrs Cartater finally told them where a emall amount of money belonging to her was secret- ed, and they soon got that. Not being satisfied, they tortured Mr. Cartater by burning his bare! feet and legs with torches until he finally told them where the com- pany’s money was. They secured thie, nearly $100, and, after taking a rifle, shotguo, revolver, two gold watches and som3 jewelry, left the housa. About two hours afterward Mrs. Cartater succeeded in Jibsrating herself and aesisted in liberatiog her husband, who all this time was in great agony.
