Prom Our Regular Correspondent.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee,
who has just returned from New
York, ridicules the story that (he
anti-Bryan democrats, who are
behind Dewey's candidacy, would
net a Dewey delegation sent from
New York to the Kansas City
convention. He says that Dewey's
candidacy will cut no figure atall
in connection with the democratic
nomination for President; that
Col. Bryan will be nominated by
acclamation. And his opinion is
shared by practically all the
democrats in both branches of
Congress. It said, although
your correspondent does not
vouch for it, that I)ewey's backers
have a lot of money to use in
buying: the support of country
democratic papers, in order to try
to make il appear that there is a
strong democratic sentiment in
favor of his nomination. There
is one draw-back to this scheme
that will kill it. The country
democratic editors, although
mostly poor men, are not for sale.
In fact, the country editors of
this country have a record for
incorruptibility that any class <•'"
men might well be proud "f.
They are constantly imposed
upon, and give more for nothing
than any set of men on earth;
but they very rarely .-tell ihetn-
selves.
Secretary (Jage having shown
by tin figures sent to the House,
in answer to a resolution, that the
war taxes can be reduced at least
s80.000.000 a year without em-
barrassing the government, the
democratic leaders intend to try
to make the republicans tell why
tliey will not agree to make the
reduction at this season.
The democrats of the House
made a good fight against the
I'orto Kico bill but as they could
not prevent republicans swallow-
ing their pubicly announced con-
victions they lacked a few votes
and eonld not defeat it. The
abomination hits been signed by
Mr. McKinley and the responsi-
bility of the republican party for
it is inav ciimplctc.
The action of the Senate Com-
mittee on Elections in deciding by
a unanimous vote that Senator
Chirk, of Montana, was not en-
titled to the seat he holds, is con-
sidered more of a condemnation
of Montana political met hods than
of Mr. ('lark personally. Senator
I 'ett us spoke the tin-lights of
many of his colleagues when he
said: "I have more respect for
Mr. ('lark than I have for those
who have been hounding him. I
do not think the use of SlOO.OOO
or more in electing Mr. Clark
was warranted, but at the same
time I have no doubt that Mr.
Daly will spend at least SlUo.OOO
in prosecuting the case. I want
to say. also, that I do not believe
Mr. Clark was personally cogniz-
ant of the manner in which the
money was used." Mr. Clark
says he intends to get vindicated,
but that is all he will say at this
time. There is little or no doubt
that the Senate will endorse the
report of the committee, if Mr.
( lark's resignation does not make
a vote unnecessary. Had the re-
port been to expel Mr. Clark a
two-third vote would have been
required to adopt it. but a- it
that probability he said : "1 feel
sure that Dewey would take the
Yiee Presidential nomination, and
think that is what he is working
for. He certainly must appreciate
the fact that he cannot get the
nomination for President from
Bryan, whose selection is absolu-
tely assured. At present no one
is named for sciond place who
would command as many votes
as Dowry, and, in fact, no one is
suggested whose name is uni-
versally accepted. Hryni and
Dewey can defeat Mr. McKinley
without any question."
Representative Talbert, of S.
0., has a habit of saying perl in-
cut things which are sometimes
irreverent. For instance, when
Representative Stoi le, of lnd.,
who had boasted of being a far-
met. said, in answer to a question
by Representative Richardson,
of Tenn., t at he raised "corn
and wheat, cattle and hogs," Mr.
Talbert threw the House into
laughter by addding: "The
gentl mum will also raise hell in
Indiana."
Senator-elect Blackburn sizes
up the political outlook thusly:
"In my Congressional experience
of 25 years I have never known a
Congress in the control of either
party that made as many political
blunders. If we can't wipe out
the republicans in November on
the blunders made thus far by
the P'ifth-sixth < Congress we ought
to go out of business. They have
made up the issues of imperialism,
militayism and touts exactly to
our liking. Indeed, if they had
deliberately started in to make a
good job of it for us they could
not have dona better. Having
these facts in mind I feel certain
that the republican managers will
hasten the close of the session,
and welcome the day when they
can breathe easy again so far as
Congress is concerned. For this
reason I do not believe any effort
will be made to force the ship
subsidy bill through. The re-
publicans an not looking for
more trouble, unless they have
gone crazy: and I don't believe
they have."

It has been sometime since
have written you but still
think of you often.
I'pton has been lively since
Saturday. People from "away
out" came to see the Colorado
River, which was on the biggest
rise known for some time.
The river banks were crowded
Sunday afternoon.
Papers were in great demand,
and Austin's disaster eagerly
read. Some of our people have
relatives and friends in Austin
and were very much interested.
Mrs. Bellamy was seriously ill
las week, but is now con-
valescent.
We should like so much to
know who that fellow was who
"Plvase moved" Sunday night.
Mr. Jim Dabney is in I'pton
again, after sometime.
I.ast Saturday Miss Rosa Mc-
Donald invited the following to

Bryan and Dewey. Speaking of
provement.
A certain young man whose
name is— —not going to be
told, had a verv. very nice time
Bouquet,
W. W. Holman, who recently
returned from a visit to his bro-
ther, T. 0. Holman, in the Hunts-
ville Penitei ry, called at the
Advertiser offie, Monday, and
informed us that Tom was getting
along as nicely and pleasantly as
could possibly be expected under
the circumstances. Having, by
a willingness and determination
to do his full duty, ingratiated
himself in the good graces of the
prison officials, they favor him as
much as possible. He has been
promoted to the pattern shops,
from the machine departments,
which is considered quite an
honor, given only to the most
skilful and deserving. In fact, it
is considered oneof the best posi-
tions at the prison. Tom ex-
pressed himself very appreciative
of the kindness of his friends who
have done so much for him, by
kindly words and pleasant deeds.
Mr. Holman says, Rev. S. 11.
Morgan, the chaplain, and Dr.
W. I]. Fowler, prison physician,
were both very kind to him,
showing him through every de-
partment of the prison, and he
was very agreeably surprised to
see the general conduct of the
prison so perfect; that every de-
partment, from the cooking up,
was conducted in a style very
creditable to the officials, and he
ventures there is not a better con-
ducted State prison in the Cnited
Stall s than that of the Texas pri-
son at lluntsville. The health
and comfort of the prisoner is
carefully looked after, while they
are given the most humane treat-
ment, and every effort seeme to
be made, on the part of the offi-
cials, from the highest to the
lowest, to elevate rather than fur-
ther degrade the unfortunates
confined within its walls. The
Christian services were parti-
cularly interesting and it was
pleasing to seethe convicts take
such a marked interest in these
services. A letter just received
from Torn, Mr. Holman says,
gives the further information that
lie is getting along nicely with his
new work, had just listened to a
splendid sermon, and was alto-
gether better satisfied and be-
coming more reconciled to his
surroundings. His health is good,
while he is fulsome in praise of
those placed over him, from whom
he receives the most kindly and
appreciative treatment. In fact,
he is made to feel at borne, among
friends, the greatest trial being
separation from the dear ones at
home; that the contaminating
surroundings in a State prison,
can elevate as well as degrade;
if the unfortunate, thrown among
them, will do his duty, willingly
obey, the prison will have a ten-
dency to purify—that convicts are
not all base criminals, and with the
proper humane treatment, as giv-
en at this State institution, many
will c ime out better men. As for
himself, he feels certain, when
his prison life ends he will return
to the bosom of his family, better
fitted, with the assistance of his
friends, to resume his citizenship,
and that he will make a citizen
his family and friends will be
proud of. He expressed himself
very proud of the friendship of
Rev. S. H. Morgan, and Dr. W.
F. Fowler, whom he speaks .if as
(toil's noblest of christian gentle-
men, whose humane treatment of
the unfi irtunates has wim f<>r them
both the respect and love of even
the vilest criminals within the
prison walls.

tury. it is claimed. Fngland will
