His death had been expected for some days, and loving friends gave him their unremitting caro and attontion fo the end, ‘Tho immediate cause of death was describéd as brain oxhanston, incident extreme wenkness due to old age, and to several attacks of sickness from which ho bas suffered for the past year and a half, Since Saturday afternoon Mr. Sherman had been for the most tiwe unconscious, rallying partially at intervals when some slight nonrish- ment was given him, Sunday after- noou evidences of theapproaching end were manifest, and ha failed toregsin conscionsness after: 3 o'clock, passing away peacefully Just after dawn broke. Several days ago, realizing tho criti- eal condition of Mr. Sherman, the members of tho honsebold and many relatives sent tolegrams to large pumber of the family connections throughout the country notifying them of his extreme illness, and some wero able to reach there before ho diod. Most of those who arrived were at the bedside when the end came, the num- ber including Mr. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt, of Now York; Mr. and Mrs, Brack Wiborg, of Qincinnati; Mra. Willlam K, Otis, of New York city; P. Tecamseh Sherman, axon of the late Geveral Sherman; Charles M.

ORR RY OO LIFE SENTENCE FACES YOUTSEY Sensational Trial-at Georgetown Results In Verdict of Guilty. JURY DESIGNATES THE PENALTY Verdict Was Reached On First Ballot~-Sentence Deferred and Prisoner Remanded to Jail. _ “We, the jury, dnd this defendant guilly, ond fix his punishment at life imprisonment.” This verdict was returned by the twelve men who were selected to try Henry E. Yeutsey, formerly Governor ‘Taylor's stenographer, on tho charge of being a principal in the shooting of Governor William Goebel in front of tho executive ‘building at Frankfort, January 30tb. i When the jary ontered the court- room at Georgetown a few minutes after 9 o'clock Saturday morning, Jndgo Cantrill asked: Gentlemen, have you mado a, ver- dict?” . Foreman R. H. McCabe nodded his head. “Pasa up the papors to the clerk,"” said tho judge. os The sheriff passed them up, and the clerk then read the following verdict: “We, the jary, find the defondant guilty, and fix the punishment at con- finement in the pouitentiary for life.” “Gentlemen, is that your yerdici?” asked the judge. “It is,” was the reply. “Gentlemen, you ate now finally discharged, and you cau call on the ‘trastees of the jury fund for your pay,” said Jndgo Cantril. ‘Tho jury filed out of the room, and tho most dramatic trial in the Ken- tacky conrts for many years was at an end. . It was learned that no ballot was taken Friday night, although its prac- tically agreed that a verdict’ of guilty wonld be found. Saturday morning the vote was unavimous that Youtsey was guilty. ‘Then the degree of punishmont was taken np. On this question the jary was somewhat divided, but finally agreed’ upon, the life sentence. Henry Youtsey ig tho third mao to be found guilty in connection with the Goebel shooting, Caleb Powers, tried on the charge of complicity, was sentenced -to lifo imprisonment, while James Howard, tried on an indictment charging bim with boing a principal in the shooting, was sentenced to death, Daring tho carly days of Youtsey’s trial the prisoner exhibited sigos of breaking down. While Arthur Goebel, brother to the dead man, was on the stand testifying, Youtsey roso in the prisoner's dock and denounced tho witness in wild exclamations, while Youtsey’s wife screamed that Goebel had sworn away the life of her hus- band, Later tho prisoner became nncon- ecions and, according to attending phy- sicians, has since practically been in- animate. Each day his bed had been carried. to the door of the jury room, where it stood in plain view of the court, its occupant apparently oblivi- our to bis surrounding. Motions for a continuance were over- rated by Jadgo Cantrill, who declared that he was powerless to stop the trial unless the defendant be adjudged a lunatic. Youtsey, on Fridoy, showed considerable improvement, however, and lis physiciaus stated that ho had resumed taking nourishment in the regular manner, while his rogpiration was rapidly becoming normal. ‘Tho defense filed o motion for an ar- rest of judgment, and Judge Cantril sot it for hearing on the second day of the February term. Therefore, Yout- oY, will not be sentenced until next year. % Youtsey was ordored removed to the Frankfort jail.

LEAKEN, of Savannah, All true Republicans will vote and work for the national ticket. Let every Republican induce a voter who is not a Republican to vote with him. No colored man who values his franchise and right of citizenship can very well vote a democratic ticket. The democrats are claiming that the meeting at Sister's hall, Russell street, on Tuesday night was in favor of Lester. A most vigorous campaign is being made by our candidate Mr W R Leaken. He is ably assisted by other prominent Republicans. There are certain disloyal Republicans who will be watched on election day. They will be known in the future by their work. One week from next Tuesday will be the battle royal. Every Republican is expected to vote early and work until the polls close. We know of certain men who are talking up Leaken, but who are really for Lester and are in conspiracy against the republican ticket. The Georgia legislature commenced its session on Wednesday. Its deliberations will be watched with much interest by the colored citizens. Let everybody join in giving McKinley, Roosevelt and Leaken the biggest vote in this county and district that was ever given a national ticket. While other loyal Republicans are about the district making speeches for the National ticket a few malcontents at home are endeavoring to disrupt the party. Col Deveaux, Chairman Pleasant, Capt Simmons and Mr Leaken have been doing active campaign work and the result of their efforts will be the big vote on the 6th. The loyalty of the Hon W R Leaken to the party, and his friendliness to our people can not be questioned. It may be done by those who are on the lookout for slight issues. The dirty work will be done in McIntosh and Liberty counties, but the men who are in charge of this kind of work are spotted and it will last them as long as the leopard's. No one is more sanguine of Republican success than Chairman L. M Pleasant. He sniffs it in the wind and is working hard for the biggest vote that this district has ever given. A certain man was heard to say that he did not want Leaken to get as many votes as Doyle had in his race for congress. This is the way in which they are attempting to cut down the party vote. The democrates are trying to console themselves by saying that there is no opposition to Mr. Lester, yet their two daily papers have made impassioned appeals for him, and they have appointed a finance committee to raise money, we suppose, to buy weak voters and some discontented Republicans. The narrowness of the Democrat was shown in their attempt to close Mr Leaken out of the city hall at Guyton and not allowing the Republican rally to be held; their attempt to get the county commissioners not to allow the use of one of the rooms at the court house to copy the registration list, and the newspapers not giving true reports of the meetings in the district There are 18,897 Afro-Americans in the public service. Ten tent cotton means many votes for McKinley in the south. The democratic party opposes every high aspiration of the Afro-American. As we near the frosts of November, Bryan stock, like silver, keeps declining. Bryan now yearns for the 47-cent dollar just as he yearned four years ago. There are 2,517 Afro-Americans on the pay rolls in the District of Columbia. The danger which threatens our national life is the democratic disregard for law. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Afro-Americans. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. George Smith, an Afro-American of Indianapolis, said to be 103 years old, declares that he will vote for McKinley. The 34 Afro-Americans who are employed in the Savannah (Ga.) post office draw salaries amounting to $34,940 per annum. The southern democrats always dominate in the national democracy. Pitchfork Tillman would rule in case of Bryan's election. The democrats of the south say that the Afro-American is all right—in his place. They assume the right to designate the place. Mr. Bryan's election would, I think, throw governmental and business affairs into confusion—Ex-President Benjamin Harrison. The republican party recognizes ability and fitness and rewards it accordingly. All Afro-Americans look alike to the democrats. It is reasonable to presume that there will be republican gains in the south. The south has had its share of McKinley prosperity. No victory was ever won without a battle; remember that, and fight for McKinley and Roosevelt from now until the polls close November 6. Black men, before you vote the democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the south are democrats. Buckle on your armor, unsheath your sword, throw away your scabbard and wade into the thickest of the fight, determined to win victory. From all quarters comes the democratic shriek of "fraud." It is the old cry of "Stop thief!" uttered by the thief himself to throw the people off their guard. Twenty-eight millions of dollars is a great sum. That's what the Afro-Americans who hold government positions have drawn during the administration of President McKinley. Bryan with his Chinese tactics has been running around the country making a big noise and deluding himself with the thought that he is convincing people to vote for free silver. In the office of the collector of customs at Chicago, there are eight Afro-Americans, at an aggregate compensation of $7,087 per annum. The number on the pay roll is greater than at any previous time. The democratic party has never had any fixed principles or policies. It has ever been the blind instrument of every bad element that might for the time being be uppermost or seem to promise party success. Mr. Bryan is very much worried about the disfranchisement of the people of the District of Columbia, but while he was a member of congress he made no attempt to give the ballot to the citizens of the district. Pitchfork Tillman says he would rather be a "southern nigger" than an "ignorant foreign Pennsylvania miner." Like all southern democrats who get up in the world, Tillman despises the poorer classes, white and black. The democrates of New Orleans are striking at the race in another way. The school board has decided that no school for the race is to give instruction in any grade higher than the fifth. The southern democrats seem determined to keep the Afro-American down. Anti-imperialists who sweat blood because McKinley, in obedience to the senate, assumes to place the flag in Manila and to defend it there, are silent over the fact that Louisiana and Mississippi pass laws that admit the vote to white men who cannot read and write and deny it to black men because they cannot read and write.—Lewiston Journal Important Points for Serious Thought. BRUNSWICK, GA. Oct. 15, 1900. MR. EDITOR. Dear Sir--The question comes to me so often of how are we going to meet the campaign expenses. I, like others, know that there are legitimate expenses to be met, but how is a conundrum to me, I for one, do not know, but Sir, this I do know, that it is not so much a question of expense as a question of principle that confronts us just now. Here is a nation in the very thros of death; her vitals threatened and even assaulted, her industries threatened, her honor attacked, her credit with the civilized world threatened, her fame won on sea and land by her loyal sons dead and living, threatened by dishonor, her citizens at home breeding civil strife by oppression that will some day cause the nation's very foundation to tremble; class is being arrayed against class, and some small fellow that is not yet broadened out to the majesty of what it takes to constitute a nation is trying to array color against color, and race against race. They are even so small as to stoop down to try and find something to agitate what they are pleased to call the German-American, Hebrew-American, French-American, Spanish-American, Greek-American, Portugal-American, Afro-American, Swedish-American, and all of the many other people that by Divine Providence or adventure have peopled this country and helped to make it one of the grandest countries on God's green earth. They are willing if it suits their purpose to get into office to create a conflict among those people one against the other, and destroy a nation's future happiness to help serve their selfish ends. Now I ask Mr. Editor, is this the time to stop and question how if the expense of the campaign to be met? It would be better to go down into your pockets and pay for that which cannot be gotten without money. I hold that there is too much at stake just now which is of more vital importance than to stop to think of money until the nation's life is safe beyond the reach of the calamist and strife breeders. I am as well convinced as one can be, that we are all recipients of favors that ought to make every white and black man in the state a Republican voter this time. Let me draw the curtain aside for a moment. Here is a true condition of the country, saved by wise legislation of the Republican party. We stand to-day on the high road of progress and prosperity, that looked impossible a few years ago. southern farmers were casting about for a crop to take the place of cotton which is the main staple of our south land; but what do they say to day: they tell you that COTTON IS KING AGAIN. Our naval stores are paying our lumber is paying, our wool is paying, the south is once again prosperous. Her resources are vicing with the products of the world, and that we are at the summit of the commercial prosperity; and what has brought about all of this?—McKinley's administration. Can men be blinded by the interest of their wives and children? Do they not think at all, can they be foolish, are there no thinking ones to that fact? Men will ought vote with us; they are getting more out of the nation than you and I. Will they try and bring in the idle cry of Negro in the wood pile? It is not long for them to hide behind any such subterfuge. This nation never needd the loyal support of her sons more than now to save her from the hands of the destroying angels. Will this nation look in vain to find needm in the hour of her greatest need? It is not for money men vote; it is for life. Save the country and then turn to her resources for wealth and fame. There is a principle at stake and the question comes home to every manly breast what am I doing to make me worthy of the high privilege of American citizenship? My heart grows sick to think of persons less than that, only to be a man in life's greatest ambition. It is not to be a dollar but a man, and vote right for once. Respectfully yours, W. H. MATTHEWS. The Republicans of the Eleventh district have nominated a strong candidate for Congress and they are working for a big vote. The defeated contingent not satisfied with its complete repudiation by the people of this county, district and state and by the national organization, are again adopting plots to mar the Republican organization of the county and to cut down the Republican vote in the coming election. The queer action of this contingent coming on the eve of the election, is viewed with much suspicion and the leaders of the party not here alone, will doubt their loyalty to the national ticket. The motive by which this contingent is actuated can be easily summed up and it can be done by the most ignorant person. Their action this week will prove a weapon that will react disastrously for them. The Republicans of the First District are working hard to elect their candidate to Congress, Hon. W. R Leaken, and pile up a big vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. Splendid meetings were held during the week at which Mr Leaken made able addresses. The meeting at Sylvania was addressed by Messrs J C Simons and W E Moore; at Waynesboro by Capt L M Pleasant and Rev F R Sims; at Swainesboro by Col J H Deveaux and Capt Simmons; at Statesboro by Capt H Blun, Jr and others. A grand rally will be held at Riceboro, Liberty county to-day which will be addressed by Capt Pleasant and Col Deveaux. Meetings will be addressed by Mr Leaken and others next week including Reidville, Ways Station and coulude with a big meeting in Savannah on Friday night at Harris street hall. The decorations will be on an elaborate scale at the Confederate Veterans Reunion in Augusta, Ga., November 14th, 15th and 16th. Take the Seabac Air Line Railway. The Elks will put on a Street Fair, consisting of parades, exhibitions, etc., at the Confederate Veterans Reunion at Augusta, Ga., November 14th, 15th and 16th. Dr. C. Bryant Whaley, D. D. G.

Bainbridge Briefs. Please allow me space in your valuable column to say something about the city of Oaks, as the readers have not seen anything concerning this city through your columns for some time. Oak City Lodge with nine others in Decatur County and its hosts of Craft men are overjoyed over the great session of the Grand Lodge in its own home in Americus, and we are inspired and encouraged to do more for its completion than ever. These Masons of Decatur county congratulated their delegates and representatives for assisting in electing such an able corps of officers to guide them through the next twelve months more especially the Grand Master and Grand Secretary for upon those two officer's shoulders the great responsibility of the Grand Lodge lies. Rev. J. H. Smith on the 8th instan ran an excursion to Macon over the Georgia Pine, and Central. Many of the citizens took in the excursion, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. A. Guy. They were well pleased with their visit to the Central City. They visited the Central College and had a bird's eye view of the Widows and Orphans Home while passing through the City of Americus. Hon. B. J. Davis of Dawson was in the city one day last week performing the duty of a Republican leader, advising the voters to pay all taxes due and register so as to poll a big vote for McKinley and Roosevelt on Nov 6. Prof G. B. Hutto is not leaving a stone unturned in preparing for the Grand Lodge of K. of P. which convenes in this city July next. Hon. J. A. Joner, Deputy for this District, of K of P expects to have five or six new lodges by sitting of the next Grand Lodge as he has two associations in operation, one at Arlington and the other at Atapulgus where G. M. Terry will plant another Masonic Lodge before long. Bainbridge and Tallahassee, Fla will soon be connected by railroad. The Georgia Pine will commence breaking dirt at an early date. Mr. J. W. F. Johnson who have been the leading barber of this city have sold his entire business to W. F. Thornton and is at the Dental Institution of Philadelphia. He will return next May. Yours Fraternally, Senaton Chandler's Letter The following was received from Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who is one of our staunchest friends in Congress, and who is a candidate for re-election. WATERLOO, N H., Oct. 5, 1900. EDITOR SOL. O. JOHNSON. SAVANNH TRIBUR, Savannah. Ga. M.Dear Sir: My Dear Girl, I has given me great pleasure to read the kind words which you have uttered concerning me, contained in the Washington National Leader of September 22nd. Be assured I appreciate your friendship. I am not certain that I shall be re-elected, owing to certain powerful interests which are secretly opposing me. There is to be an effort made in this country to induce acquiescence in a waiver of all attempts to enforce the 15th amendment and to effort a compromise by which there shall be a reduction of representation under the 15th amendment. But it will not be best for the wise men of this country, whether white or black, to attempt to thus destroy the 15th amendment. Reducing representation on account of any reduction in the vote brought about by defying the 15th amendment, through excluding colored people only, will only lead to unending sectional strife in the future. With the black men deprived of suffrage continual appeals will be made to the North to interfere by national legislation in Southern affairs. The last state of things will be worse than the present. However imperfectly enforced the 15th amendment may be we should cling to it as the fundamental principle and not sell it or sacrifice it. Whenever the suffrage is reduced by an intelligence qualification, or any other method which is applied indiscriminately to whites and blacks alike, there representation may also properly be reduced; but the whole point of all the existing and coming constitutional amendments restricting the suffrage is that they shall be relentlessly applied to the black man and yet shall not be applied to the white man under the same conditions. This must not be submitted to and I trust you will do your part to keep public sentiment right on the great question. Yours truly, W.M. E. CHANDLER.

DISGRUNTLED REPUB LICANS. Playing Into the Hands of The Democrats. A few disgruntled and disloyal Republicans met on Tuesday night at Sister's hall. This is the contingent that was so badly repudiated at the last primary by the people. The meeting was called to order by R N Rutledge, and presided over by him. The burden of the speeches were contention against the organization, and the sentiment was not fully in favor of the Republican nominee for congress, for as the morning paper said that it looked as if the meeting was in favor of Mr. Lester the Democratic nominee. They went through a farce organization of the county by electing M. J. Doyle as chairman. R N Rutledge vice-chairman, and J M Ferrebee, secretary. The call for the meeting was not published; it was known only by a few malcontents. Had it been published true Republicans would have captured it and held a rousing meeting for McKinley, Roosevelt and Leaken. These malcontents are used as catpaws. All of them at the meeting were colored men, some of whom are tools of white men. Capt. Doyle has repudiated the action of the meeting and will have nothing whatever to do with it. Go and Pay Your Tax. The tax book is now open, and tax payers are urged to immediately go and pay their tax. This applies especially to our people, a large number of whom are generally delinquent in this payment and who have to pay a great deal more when an execution is issued against them. They can avoid this by making the payment before the time of closing arrives. Capt J. J. McGowan is one of the most affable and courteous men in the state, and he leaves no stone unturned in notifying everybody about the opening of the books and urges them to pay. His office is open from 9 o'clock a m to 2 p m. Do not wait until the last days, but go now and pay your tax. Ministers Meeting. The Evangelical Ministers Uniomet at the usual hour Monday morning with Rev. J.J. Durham D. D-president, presiding. After devotional exercises the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

To the Republicans and Voters of Georgia who desire the election of McKinley and Roosevelt: Under McKinley's administration the promises of the Republican party of 1896 have been maintained; an opportunity given to willing labor to work at remunerative wages; the commerce of the nation extended to new fields, resulting in such an opening for our growing industries as to cause the South's great staple product, cotton, to command 10 cents per pound Notwithstanding the good record of our Republican administration, we find the government of the people, for the people, by the people, again confronted by Bryanism which is organized repudiation, deliberate confiscation, chartered communism and enthroned anarchy. To the end that good government may not perish from the face of the earth, we earnestly urge all Republicans, and cordially invite all other patriotic citizens to co-operate with us in giving the electoral vote of Georgia to McKinley and Roosevelt.

College Notes. The families of Rev Travis and Proctor Roston have been suffering much from sickness, but they seem to be regaining their strength. Commandant Golden is getting the boys in military "ship-shape." Bandmaster Haigler is rounding out music. "Dixie" and "Marching through Georgia" have made their appearance already. The college seniors and Savannah's "sophormonic triumviate" are heading toward professorships. Small boys stand aside! The Freshman class had one accession this week from North Georgia in the person of Miss Iona Butler, formerly of Clarke University. Miss Annie. Howard of Waycross and Miss Annie White of South Carolina joined the several normal classes last week. Quite a number of people is wondering what has become of one "Masilon," formerly of the Baptist Truth. Lost, strayed or stolen? Instructor Thompson says that the College Journal is on its way "out." It will arrive after awhile. Instructor Howard and his apprentices are painting the teachers' cottages red and the like. Lecture Extraordinary. EDITOR TRIBUNE. Sir,—Last December when my good friends gave me such a hearty reception at Ford's Opera House on the occasion of my lecture on the British Isles, as it was getting very late, and was a miserably cold night, rather than tire my appreciative audience I decided to omit my intinerary to Oxford—the pictures were shown, however. At an early day, therefore, I hope to speak on "Oxford Town and University." The lecture, which will be brief, will take place in St. Stephen's church, and I suppose it is hardly necessary to say that there'll be no admission fee, neither will any collection be taken up: not that St. Stephen's church doesn't need money, but I believe that there is a time and place for everything. The lecture, on Continental Europe will take place in due time: it has been delayed in order to heighten its success. Special Notice.
