Discharged.

Anderson, Oct. 11.—Sentinel Special.—The Buckeye manufacturing company, for some time considered the most unfair employers in the city have discharged four men. They were given their time and told to get out. Wnen it became public that such had been the case they made the statement that they were unaware of the employes’ political complexion. The matter simmered down is that the men refused to join McKinley clubs. They were waited upon and given to know that there jobs were at stake. They took the result and they got it. It is not improbable that the company will be called upon to give an explanation in legal form. This is but one of the many cases of coercion that is oeing worked daily in gas belt. The Washington Post, a strong gold paper, concedes Bryan 205 electorial votes, claims 140 for McKinley and put 102 in the doubtful column. Such a table is practically to concede Bryan’s election.
