The state Committee Tailed to File an Emblem, aud Attorney (General hitihup in an Opinion bays None. 1 hey Can I Salt Lake City, Oct. 20. The Democratic state committee, through an oversight, failed to file the party em bleui, which is described as a rooster in a defiant attitude. The Democratic 6tate convention adopted the rooster as an emblem, but the state committee through an oversight failed to file it with the secretary of state, lienee, that officer certified the Democratic state ticket to the clerk without an emblem. State Chairman Movie of the Democratic party, when the oversight was discovered, instructed the various county clerks to certify the rooster as the party emblem in the various counties, which has generally been done. The contention seems to be, however, that county officers can not certify to a state ticket, hence, if a cross was put up by the rooster, it would not count for the state ticket of that party. This question was raised by the county attorney of Garfield county, who asked Attorney-Genera- l Bishop for an opinion, which was rendered as follows: The certificate of the secretary of state to the county clerk of your county-- , in which he certifiesthe names and description of the candidates nominated by the Democratic state convention, does not contain any party emblem. The certificate of nomination, filed by the officers of the Democratic county convention of your county, filed soon after said county convention, and within the time prescribed by law, does not contain any reference to a party emblem. Subsequent to the filing thereof, and, but recently-- , the officers of the Democratic county convention, of your county, filed with the clerk of your county, a second certificate, in which they certified that the said county convention did adopt and designate a party emblem. It also appears that the chairman and secretary of the state Democratic convention in filing the certificate of nominations of said convention with the secretary of state, did not certify that said convention adopted any party emblem whatever. Upon these facts you ask to be advised whether the clerk of your county is authorized, in law, to place a party emblem, atul have the upon the Democratic ticket in your county. Section 823, Revised Statutes, in providing what the certificate of nomination shall contain, provides among other things, as follows: The certificate of nomination, which shall be in writing, shall contain the name of the office for which each person is nominated, the name, postoffice address, if any, the residence of each person, and if in a city, the street, number of residence, and place of business, if any, and shall designate in not more than five words the party, whicli such convention or committee represents. It shall be signed by the presiding officer and secretary of such convention or committee, who shall add to their signatures their respective places of residence and post office addresses, and make oath, before an officer qualified to administer the same, that the affiants were such officers of such convention or committee, and that said certificates and the statements therein contained are true, to the best of their knowlege and belief. In section 830, Revised States, relating to the emblem or design it is provided: It shall be lawful to designate the political party or group of petitions as the ease may he by an appropriate emblem or design, such as a flag, eagle, rooster, or other device, as may be set forth in the certificate of nomination; provided that no two sets of nominations shall use or have the same device, and that such political party or group of petitioners shall have the prior right to use the device used by it at the last similar election. Each list of candidates for the several parties and groups of petitioners shall be called a ticket and be placed in a separate column on the bollot in such order as the authorities charged with the printing of the ballots shall decide. The columns containing the list of candidates, including the party name and device, bhall be separated by heavy parallel lines. Under these provisions I think it clearly appears that the duty of the county clerk, in making up the tickets and getting the same printed is purely ministerial, and he has only to follow the certificates of nominations made to him by the secretary of state, or filed with him by the presiding officer and secretary of a convention held by a political party of his county, or some lesser political division; that if the certificate transmitted to him by the secretary of state fails to recite the adoption or designation of a party emblem or sign, he would have no authority, iu law, to place any emblem or sign at the top of said ticket. Nor would such defect be cured, in my judgment, by the recent filing of a new certificate covering that point ami. in no event, would the clerk be justified in placing an emblem adopted by a county convention at the head of the state ticket, as that would operate to designate the polities of candidates nominated by a convention wholly different from the one from which the certificate emanated. This would be clearly the exercise of an authority not possed by them. same-printe- KILLED NINE NEGROES RUSSIA MAY AID FRANCE. Stiffens th Aisortare of Her Support FIGHT BETWEEN A POSSE AND A COLORED BAND. Racks of Frenchmen. Taris, Oct. 22. A remarkable change has come over French opinion on th Fashoda question during the past 4! hours. The attitude of the publio is moie inflamed and more defiant. This is partly due to the tone of the British press, but more to the threatening spirit of the British chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael which the Autorite calls a provocation that is almost a threat of war. The municipal council of Paris is accused on all sides of exhorting the government to avert war. In government circles the disposition seems to be to resist the British demands. It is reported that the policy of France, as definitely stated to Great Britain, includes the retention of Fashoda. Rumors that the Russian foreign minister, Count Muravieff, has assured M. Del Casse, the French foreign minister, of Russias support in the controversy, tend to stiffen the backs of the higher officials, although these continue to maintain a concilatory tone and that France is prepared to carry amiability to the utmost limits consistent with her rights and dignity.

Government cir- cles here are apparently satisfied that the Fashoda question will not lead to war. At the same time, the determination is reiterated not to budge from the position which has been taken up, no matter what the outcome may be. It is said on good authority that the government has also determined not to brook unreasonable delay, and that in the event of France declining to evacuate Fashoda, the Marshand party will be removed from that place, although it is An Attempt to Arrest Negro In Mississippi Results In s Pitched Hattie More Trouble Expected. Lsnr-Brnk- ei Forest, Miss., Oct. 24. As the result of an attempt to arrest a negro ueir Ilarpersville in the eastern part of the state, one white deputy was killed, three wounded, and according to the latest report, nine negroes have been killed by tlie citizens of the Harpers-vill- e neighborhood and the sheriff's posse combined. The pursuit of about fifty negroes, who had joined the original offender with the avowed determination to prevent his arrest and capture, and which ambushed the party attempting the arrest, continues, and the number of fatalities will undoubtedly have assumed large proportions before the trouble is over. The whole country is terribly arroused and the sheriff's posse has been reinforced with men from all the neighboring towns. Gov. McLaurin has gone to the scene, which is about ten miles north of Forest, the nearest railroad point. The trouble originated last Friday, when a negro named Burke had an altercation with his employer, Charles Freeman, a white man, in which the negro got the best of the difficulty. The next night a crowd of white men, headed by Wallace Sibley, who was deputized to arrest the man, went to Burkes house, which is about a mile from Ilarpersville. When they arrived upon the scene and called for Burke they were greeted by a fusilade from the negroes concealed in ambush in the bushes, surrounding the house and in the house itself. Wallace Sibley the leader, fell dead at the first volley and three more ivhite members of the crowd, James Johnson, James Hamilton and James iVeils, were wounded. The whites relumed the fire but were unable to do tny execution, as their assailants were 11 concealed. There were not more lhan eight men in the white crowd. Jnd finding it impossible to resist effectively, they dispersed toward Ilarpers-iille- . 1 It was not known at that time that was injured, hut upon a return the scene in the morning he was fjund dead in the yard. The wounded deputies were able to get back to town tvith the assistance of their comrades. When the crowd returned to Harpers-villthe news spread like wildfire. Put-inthe night a large crowd gathered from the neighborhood. They immediately went to Burkeshouse and pot from his mother the names of all parties in the crowd which had ambushed the men the night before. In til there were about forty negroes who bad gathered to prevent the arrest of Burke, and a list was made up at her dictation. The sheriff, accompanied by about 300 citizens, lias started after the negroes, and so far nine have been captured and killed. o e BATTLE WITH SAVAGES.
