Ills Flimsy Apology for the Democratic Stat Debt Exposed by A- J. IlAlph. Special to the Indianapolis JmirnaL. Dana, Iud., Nov. 2. Yesterday afternoon lion. Claude Matthews and Judge McCabe addressed the people from a Democratic stand-point, speaking about three and a half hours. Mr. Matthows attempted to dispose of the State debt question by referring to the amount of debt contracted since tho Democrats last secured control of the Legislature and giving the amounts spent for construction of various State buildings. The remainder, he said, -was handed -down by the Republicans. He failed to say that it was the remnant of a debt left to the Republicans by the Democrats, and that about one-half of that debt had been paid by the Republicans, as is well known. Last night Hon. A. J. Ralph, Republican candidate for joint Representative in this district, and Hon. 13. F. Harness, of Kokomo, addressed the people. Ml. Ralph talked one hour and ten minutes. He snowed up tho record of the Democratic party in contracting the State debt in a clear light, demolishing the partial exposition given by Mr. Matthews. Among other matters he mentioned the loose methods of assessment and how they might be remedied by proper legislation. He made a point of the present law of enumeration and distribution of State funds by which the large cities draw from the rural districts thousands of dollars to maintain their schools, Vermillion county alone, though small, paying out nearly $3,000 for the benefit of other parts of tho State. This amount would give this county at least one month more of school each year. He showed up the manner in which tne last Legislature had burdened the people by tho appointment of a horde of door-keepers, pages and clerks simply for political purposes. Ho showed vhow a vast amount is annually taken out of our State treasury to pay county auditors for simply apportioning school money among the townships and villages, saying that Vermillion county pays its auditor S0O per year for this alone. Mr. Ralph then spoke briefly of the tarift and gerrymanders. Mr. Harness then addressed the people for an Hour and twenty minutes. He condemned in strongest terms the old calamity cry of the Democrats, mentioning Mr. Voorhees's condemnation of the greenback, and later, his howl about specie resumption. PHASES OF INDIANA POLITICS. All the Elements In the Fifth District Now United Against Mr. Cooper. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Gheenxastle, Nov. 1. The letter of Dr. Parkhurst, the noted Prohibitionist, advising his political friends to vote for Major John G. Dunbar, for Congress, in this district, is having a marked effect in this city and county. Dr. Parkhurst derived great encouragement from the adoption by Congress of the original-package bill over the votes of its opponents, of whom Cooper, the Democratic candidate' for re-election, was one. Tho Prohibitionists of the Fifth district, with whom Dr. Parkhurst acted in the late political canvass, will, it is believed, acquiesce in his views of their duty la the premises, and their candidate. Rev. Mr. Shelt, will withdraw, if he has not already done so, in favor of Major Dunbar, the nominee of the Labor part3'. The united support of all the elements of opposition to the Democratic party is a guarantee of Dunbar's election next Tuesday. Ilival Meetings at Carthage. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Carthage, Nov. 2. Last night A. J. Beveridge, of Indianapolis, spoke here in Henly Hall to the largest audience that hasassembled at any one time during this campaign, notwithstanding the fact that V. D. Bynuin and Morgan Chandler, of Greenfield, Demociatio candidate for joint Senator, wero holding forth in Newsom's Hall, which is directly opposite. Mr. Beveridge made a very clear and forcible speech of two hours' duration, mainly on State issues and the tariff, and was frequently interrupted with rounds of applause. The Democratic meeting broke up iirst. and their bauds struck up "Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys" in front of Henly Hall, which tcaused Mr. Baveridge to remark that that band must be Republican, as rallying around the 11 a 2 was not a Democratic principle. Many ladies were present, and every voter was enthusiastic. If the Republicans do not carry everything in this State next Tuesday it will not be the fault of Rush county. Rousing Meeting at Union City. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Union City, Nov. 2. One of the grandest meetings of the campaign was held at .the opera-house last night. Convincing arguments were made by Hons! Chailes F. Gnfllu and A. O. Marsh. A large delegation from Winchester, accompanied by the K. of P. military band, were in attendance. The large opera-house was literally packed with au intelligent audience of voters, who were enthusiastic from the hope within them. This was the closing meeting lor Union City, and it was certain ly in every way satisfactory to the city and to the party. . 3Iass-3Ieeting at Kokomo. Special to tne Indianapolis Journal. Kokomo, Nov. 2. The Republicans of this city and county closed their campaign with a rousing mass-meeting at the courthouse Saturday evening. Hon. A. C. Harris, of Indianapolis, and Senator Boyd, of Noblesville, delivered ringing speeches, and the great audience listened intently. The Republican organization here is perfectaud the full vote will be polled next Tuesday. Confidence is steadily gaining in a splendid victory for the Republicans in Indiana at the approaching election. Howard county Republicans will do their full share. MR. CRANOK TO UIS CRITICS. Sharp Rejoinder to the Bourbon Organ's Attack on His Bill and Albany Speech. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal To-day's Sentinel, in an article under the heading "Cranor's Speech," sneeringly asks its readers to remember me as the man "who attempted to introduce into the Legislature, two years ago, a bill appropriating $10,000 to be used to deepen the bed of "White river in Delaware connty, a stream that an active school-boy may almost leap lcross." The article further saya that my "purpose was probably to give Muucie a water outlet to the markets of the world." Now, as the Sentinel has repeatedly sought to misrepresent me and this bill I would liko to say a word or two in relation to the matter. There are, in this county, some 15,000 acres of land, as rich as any in the world, which is practically worthless for agricnltural purposes, because there is no solhcient outlet through which it can bo drained. This outlet can only be provided by lowering the bed of White river, and a practical survey has demonstrated that this can easily be done, owing to the great fall, over a 6eries of ripples or shoals, in the bed of the river through this county. Believing that an appropriation for this purpose would be a good investment for the State, and knowing it would be a great advantage to my county I introduced the bill referred to. The State was not asked to pay a cent ol the appropriation asketi for until the Delaware county authorities guaranteed the makinu of the improvement. Thin provision will show that the bill was introuuceu in gooa iaun at least, l was then, and am still, of the opinion that, by the great increase in the value of the land sought to be drained, the money would Lave, in a few years, been paid back into the State treasury in tho way of taxes, and then the taxes on this increased value. as well as on the vast amount of produce that could be raised on the land, would have been a never-ending source of income to the. 8tate. This would especially "come nanny" when all our revenues are to bo raised by taxation of land values, which time, according to the Sentinel, is soon to come. I was not surprised, however, that the bin was indefinitely postposed. fori never knew a Democrat to favor any legis lation that could possihlv havo the encct of bringing money into the treasurv. However, notwithstanding the Demo cratic laces that have been made at this hill. I etui relieve that the money thereby sought to be

appropriated would have been a better investment for the State than was the S17,V2 appropriated by this same Legislature to pay Jack Howard's debts, or the $120 paid Alonzo Green Smith for bulldozing Governor Robertson out of his seat. Nov as to the speech at Albany: The Sentinel's correspondent knowingly lied when he said: "The speech at Albany was a surprise to the Albanese, inasmuch as no speech-making had been previously given." The fact is. so able a pair of Democrats as Captain Hillieoss, former candidate for Secretary of State, and Dr. E. J. Puckett, Democratic candidate for Representative, had been to Albany and held a meeting; and, in fact, speakers of all parties, including Hon. Henry U. Johnson, our able candidate for Congress, had all spoken at Albany before me and during the present campaigu. Now I want to plead guilty to saying just about what the Sentinel says 1 did, but I insist that that wasnot the. part of the speech which so terribly oll'ended a certain old mossback Democrat who happen :d to be present. I did say that the tariff question was settled by the people in 1888, and that tho McKinley law is simply their verdict crystallized: further, that J did not think it reasonable to ask the people to change their verdict until they had time to try it. at least I further said that. I considered that every man who votes the "simonpnre" Democratic ticket at the coming election, and who does so intelligently, thereby indorses 'all the rottenness, theft and corruption in the management of our State institutions, including the murder of poor Jay Blount, and is morally responsible for whatever future murder and mismanagement takes place in these institutions as a result of a continuance of the present system of management. This is what pricked the Democratic conscience, and this outburst through the Sentinel is simply an attempt to gag his own conscience, and keep himself in line until next Tuesday. Ozro N. Cranor. Mcscie, Ind., Nov. 1. THE PETTIT MURDER TRIAL.

Doctors Disagree in Their Testimony Clonda of Witnesses let to Be Examined. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Crawfordsville, Nov. 2. The testimony of two of the local doctors, yesterday afternoon, in the Pettit case tends to show that doctors and chemists do not always agree upon the points at issue in this case. Dr. Peters said that in his chemical analysis he did not find congestion of the brain or spinal cord, and yet he was positive that strychnine had caused death. Good authorties state that in strychnine poisoning the brain and spinal cord would be congested. and Dr. Cowan stated in his testimony that if Dr. Peters did not find any congestion of the brain he would doubt that strychnine had caused death. Digitalis, one of the medicines given by Dr. Yeager to Mrs. Pettit, is very dangerous on account of accumulative properties, and ho said that under no condition would he leave a patient whom ho suspected was suffering from strychnine poisoning. The Doctor does not believe any authority that does not conform to reason. As to when strychnine was auppoaed to be given. Dr. Cowan agreed with the other State witnesses. His conclusions in this case were based upon the supposition that there bad been complete relaxation after each convulsion; if there had not been this complete relaxation would not believe that convulsions were the result of strychnine poisoning. Dr. Ristine testified in substance to the same that Dr. Cowan did. Dr. Peters, who examined the stomach, liver and brain, in his direct examination stated that convulsions from strychnine were so distinct in their character that they could not bo confounded with nny other kinds of convulsions; but on crossexamination he said that tetanic, malarial or hysterical convulsions wero so nearly alike that they could not be distinguished apart. He also stated, on direot examination, that he found strychnine in the stomach and liver, but no trace in the brain or spinal cord, and then on cross-examination he said that strychnia would have no effect on the patient until it was absorbed into the general circulation, and would be present in all the tissues. Yet be did not state how it was that after the strychnine got into circulation all of the poison lodged in the liver, and noue in the brain or spinal cord. , Thus far there have been about ninety witnesses examined by the State, and the testimony has extended from Genesis to Revelations. There are twenty-nine more witnesses to come yet. The defense will have nearly as many witnesses as the State, and the end of the trial cannot bo conjectured at this time. There will bono court on Tuesday, as the jury will be allowed to go home to vote. The judge, however, nays this will be the last time that they will be allowed to separate until after the trial. Tho attorneys for the defense made a mo tion last evening that the court, in order to avoid continuing the trial into tho Novem ber term, dismiss the case and discharge i'ettit. I ho judge overruled the motion, and a bill of exceptions was filed. GUILTY OF MANY CRIMES. Confession of a Man Who Made a Business of Robbing Stage Coaches in California. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 2. George Shinn, who with Charles Dorsey, alias Thorn, escaped from San Quentin prison three years ago, and was recently captured in Chicago by detective J. B. Hume, has made a most startling confession. Ever since they es caped, detective Hume has believed they wero in this State, and were perpetrators of numerous stage robberies which have oc curred since then, bnt he was not able to obtain any positive evidence. Friday night Shinn was transferred from San Quentin to Folsoin by special arrangement made by Warden Anil and Detective Hume. Yester day the warden and detective interviewed Shinn for over three hours. He confessed that Thorn and himself retured to Califor nia in 1889, and camped on the American riyer about three miles from this city. This was their rendezvous to which they always returned after their raids. He admits that on the 31st of JnLr. 1880, they stopped the stage from Milton to Sonora, and robbed the passengers of $50 and blew open the Wells-Fargo treasurebox with giant powder, butfoundit empty. On the 10th of September of the same year tuey stopped the stage between (juincy and Oroville. and took a gold bar worth E-S00 from the Wells-Fargo box. In April of this year they "held up" the Forest Hill stage in Placer county, and robbed the passengers, liesides these robberies. Shinn confesses to numerous burglaries, garroting auu luuuciira wvuituuu'u uy ilium nuu himself. They returned to Chicaco Mav CO. this year.

BIOTAT A WOMAN'S FUNERAL

Suspected Wife-Murderer Mobbed by Excited People at South Hauipstead. General Wolselej's Work in Ireland Two Chinese War Vessels Lost-Alleged Plot Ifrainst the Eojal Family of Corea. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Nov. ITho funeral of Mrs. Hobbs, whose mysterious murder has so excited the people of the London snburb Hampstead. took place to-day, and, as was expected, the occasion was taken advantage of, by the populace for a demonstration against the dead woman's husband, who is suspected of having, in collusion with Mrs. Piercy, caused her death. It was well that au extra force of police bad been ordered on duty, for otherwise violence would cer tainly bavo been done to Hobbs. 1 he car riage in which be rode was attacked by the angry mob, but the police charged upon the rioters and dispeised them. After this en counter tne people contented themselves with loud threats and menacing gestures, and no further breach of the peace occurred. Mr. Hobbs seems determined not to be frightened awav or influenced in his actions by the threats of his neighbors. He declares his innocence of any connection with his wife's death, and the authorities have not thus far been able to find any grounds npon wmch to arrest him. Wolseley? Work in Ireland. London, Nov. 2. While Mr. Balfour has been actively engaged in examining tho condition of the people in the districts most likely to be visited by famine, General Wolseley has been no less active in the in spection of the troops and in putting the British forces in Ireland in readiness for any service that may be requisite. The office of the commander of the forces in Ireland has for a number of years been a sine cure held by some hanger-on friend of the royal family, the latest being I'rince Ldward of Saxe-veimar, a lerman with an English wife having a stramof royal blood. Prince Edward, a pleasant, good-natured nobleman, was content to draw the pay and leave the hard work to his subordinates. Now, however, just when the government shows a determination to crush the National League and the plan of campaign. General Wolseley, the ablest of English commanders, takes the placeof the princely figure-head, the regiments are strength ened with recruits from England and Scotland, and the military establishment is put on a footing in preparation for any emer gency. Pere Hyacinth and the Clericals. Paris, Nov. 2. Pere Hyacintbe to-day commenced a campaign against clericalism in his own church with a vigorous address. He said that the republic was firmly estab lished, but that after leaning toward atheism there was now danger of its lapsing into clericalism. Pupils of tho Jesuits, he said, were beginning to swarm in the military colleges, and the republic threatened to become a clerical ctoverninent after the most bigoted pattern of the southern republics. He thought this was due to the Republicans shutting their eyes to the power of religion in society, and he advocated the national churches rejecting the authority of the Pope, allowing priests to marry and abolish the confessional.

The Japanese man-of-war Kongo left Kobe for Turkey Oct. 10 with the survivors of the Turkish man-of-war Ertongroul. The bodies of 250 Turks have been washed ashore. Since the outbreak of cholera in the em pire there have been 38,425 cases and 25,911 deaths. The epidemio has almost sub sided. Advices from Hong Kong state that a plot to murder the King and royal family of Corea is reported to have been discovered. The brother of tho King is implicated. Political Phase or a Dlroree Salt. London, Nov. 2. Mr. Parnell, it is said, will testify in his own defense and the defense of Mrs. O'Shea in the coming divorce suit of Captain O'Shea, and will absolutely deny criminality. It is rumored that the plaintiff has in his possession written evi dence that may impair Mr. Parn ell's de nial. Mrs. O'Shea will reply to her hus band's allegations with counter-allegations. Altogether the affair is about as unsavory as it can be. It, is understood that tho London Times will publish a report of the trial in pamphlet form lor circulation in Europe and America. The Tories, as cabled some days ago. rest great hopes upon its effect, especially among the Irish peasantry. who hold in deep abhorrence any violation of the marital pledge. Cable Notes.

Nearest to Hobbs was tho woman, and he made a savage thrust at her with the steel blade. She dodged and ran screaming from the room. Hobbs did not follow, but at once turned his attention to Snyder. The men grappled and Snyder attempted to take the knife from his antagonist. The struggle was short, foi by a tremendous effort Hobbs succeeded in releasing his arm from Snyder's grasp, and with a qnick movement drew the blade across Snyder's throat, leaving a gaping wound four and a half inches long. As Snyder fell Hobbs stabbed him again in the shoulder, and giving the prostrate boly a kick, coolly wiped his knife and left the house. The stiletto barely missed Snyder's jugular. He is in a precarious condition. The gambler was not captured.

ESCAPE OP A DESPERADO. Deputy Sheriffs Tricked by a Dummy Made Oat of a Pillow and Blanket. Booneville, Mo., Nov. 2. John C. Turlington, the noted desperado, who has been confined here, 'in the county jail, for the past six months, effected his escape last night in a clever manner. After the guards gave him his supper it Jias been their custom to allow him the freedom of the jail for the purpose of exercise until 8 o'clock. Deputy Sheriff Nicholson tock him his supper at 6 o'clock last night, aud left his cell open so that he might have his usual exercise. As soon as he was left alono the desperado rigged out a dummy with the pillow and blankot from his bed, and an old shirt. He placed the dummy iu the bed, so that it would appear to be lying with its back to the door. He placed his supper dishes outside the door and arranged the cell for the night in its usual way, and proceeded to the room iu the lower part of the building occupied by Deputy Sheriffs Nicholson ana Garretson. There ho bid himself under the bed and awaited a favorable opportunity to make his escape, which presented itself when the two deputies went into the dining-room for their supper. Then Turlington emerged from his place of concealment ana escaped by the window which was only a few feet from the ground. When Niche teen went to Tnrliugton's cell to secure tho prisoner for the night ho found the supper dishes outside the door, and mistaking the dummy for his sleeping charge, locked and bolted tho door. Turlington's clover ruse was not discovered until 9 o'clock this morning, when the guard attempted to rouse the dummy for breakfast. The alarm was given, and the search for tbe fugitive was begun. At 8 o'clock to-night the searching party returned and reported that no trace had been found, except, perhaps, that three horses had been stolen during the night at different points ou the road to Jefferson Ciiy. It is thought that the fugitive may havo taken this means to get away. Turlington was regarded as one of the most desperate men in the Southwest. He was the murderer of ex-Sheriff Cranmer. of this connty, and was a confessed train-robber. Claims ot the Two Parties In Ohio. - Columbus, O., Nov. 2.

AN ANAKCUISTS TERRIBLE DEED. I I lie Kills a Stock-Dealer, Wounds Another, and Blows Off His Own Head. St. Paul, Nov. 2. This morning, at 10:30, at South St. Paul, a sickening tragedy was enacted, two men being dead and a third wounded. Benjamin F. Rogers, of tbe big live-stock, commission firm of Rogers & Rogers, and one of the best-known etockdealers in the Northwest, was killed by George Robarge near the latter's house, a mile and a quarter from the stockyards. Some cattle belonging to Rogers, m charge of a young herder named Loren Mickle, were being driven across Robarge's premises to tbe grazing ground when Robarge assaulted Mickle. Mr. Rogers, whose house is but a short distance off, heard of the trouble and went to the spot. He tried to get Robarge to mark tho line of his property so as to prevent future trouble, but the latter was too angry to pay any attention. Robarge first used a shovel and then an ax. but was kept oft by Mr. Rogers. He then procured his shotgun and shot William Rogers, who had come upon the scene, in the shoulder. The wounded man rau for his life, and Robarge opened tire on, Benjamin Rogers, emptying an entire load of shot in his head by the left ear, and making a frightful and fatal wound. Death resulted almost instantly. As soon as the news of the murder reached tbe stockyards an excited crowd of men started out wiub guns in their hands and vengeance iu their hearts, bnt they were too late. After an excited search of the woods they fonud Robarge in his bam dead. He had placed the muzzle of his gun to his head and pulled the trigger with his toe, blowing off the entire upper part of his head and spattering his brains all over the stall where he lay. The murderer and suicide was an Anarchist. An Editor's Attempt at Suicide. Knoxviixe, Tenn., Nov. 2. Col. John M. Ewing, until recently editor of the Knoxville Evening Sentinel, attempted to commit suicide this afternoon at his hotel in this city. He used an ordinary pocket-knife. Placing it on his chest over his heart, he hit the handle with his right hand, driving tbe blade into his body. This was done three times, inflicting three big stabs. Finding that he had not succeeded in killing himself by this means he made several strokes across tbe left side of his neck in the region of the jugular vein, but failed to cut it, and was forced to desist from loss of strength. The wounds are Eainfnl, but with no unforeseen trouble he 0 will speedily recover. Texas Trainmen Injured. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 2.

Fair Play Requires the Immediate Enactment of a New Apportionment Law. Washington Special to New York Tribune. An inspection of the census bulletin issued to-day, showing tbe population of the various Statls, will naturally, inevitably aud justly provoke a loud, not to say imperative, demand for the enactment of an apportionment law by the Fifty-first Congress. It raises an issue which every person of ordinary intelligence will quickly understand, and tbe prompt settlement of which is required by every consideration of justice and fairness, as well as by constitutional mandate. The purpose of the framers of the Constitution, as clearly expressed as it could be in words, was that there should bo equality of representation in Congrebs; and it is to enable Congress to execute that purpose that a census of copulation is taken once in teu years. The preservation of the equality of representation is equally vital to the jnst operation of the electoral system for the choice of President and Vico-president of the United States. That such equality does not now exist the bulletin issued to-day clearly shows; nay, it discloses tbe most glaring inequalities so glaring that the Fifty-farst Congress will be false to its constitutional obligation if it does not remove tbein at the earliest possible day. Here are a few of the details: Each Representative in Congress from the State of Maryland represents an average population of 173,405; each Representative in Congress from the State of Nebraska represents an average population of 352,204, or more than twice as many persons. Each Representative from the State of Georgia represents a population of 183,436, white each Representative in Congress from Virginia represents a population of only 1(4,891, or abont 18,000 less. The Representative from tbe State of Minnesota represents a population of 2Hl,805, while each Representative from the State of South Carolina represents a population of 1G3.880. or about D8.000 leas. The Representative from Colorado represents a population of 410,975 enough to givo that State three Representatives in Congress on the existing basis of representation while each Representative from Connecticut represents an average population of only lbO,4C5, and each Representative from Vermont represents a population of only 1GG.102. The Representative from Oregou represents a population of 312,400; each Representative from Ohio represents a population of only 183,iK5, which again is bO.lbl less than the population represented by the Representative from the new State of Washington. But it is needless to multiply comparisons, which every person with the figures before him can make for himself. The inequalities exist, and it is tbe duty of Congress to remove them not by depriving the older States of tho representation privileges which they now enjoy, but by giving to the newer States the rights to which they are entitled under the Constitution, by virtue of the wonderful growth of population since 18S0. Of course it should be remembered that these inequalities existed, although somewhat less in degree, in 183. and had their elfect uoon . the presidential election of that year; two years hence they will be inoro flagrant even than now. In 188S it took more people in tbe State of Nebraska, acting through the medium of district electors, to cast three votes for President aud Vicepresident than it took in the State of Maryland to cast six votes for candidates for the same offices; and it took more than 200.000 more people in. Minnesota to cast five votes iu tbe same maimer than it took iu South Carolina to cast seven votes for President and Vice-president. Other inequalities of the same 6ort: many of them equally flagrant, then existed; but there was no way to cure them." That way has now been opened in accordance with the Constitution and law, and there seems to be no good reason to doubt that this Congress will do its dntv and avert the dangerof having the presidential election of marked by still worse violations of equity, as well as ot the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

A very good way of givinir a bath toa. delicate infaut is to lay a email blanket In the bottom of the bath, and wrap it around, the child before lifting him out of tbe warm water. In this way he can feel no chill whatever from the outside air. The nnrse shonldhaveon a large toweling apron in which to wrap the baby, wet blanket and all. Tho head can then ho dried and the upper extremities, keeping him well wrapped all the time. Put on a warm shirt, slip oif the wet apron, and wrap the little one in a warm big Turkish towel, and dry and rub him thoroughly. The Russians have a way of bathing their very young babies that'is unique and' most comfortable. A large log, hollowed out as deeply as possible, serves as a bathtub, and is placed on two cross-stick uprights. A small blanket is laid at the bottom of the bath, together with a little pillow of folded flannel, just high enough to lift the tiny bead above the water. King Baby is then laid comfortably down, as if on a bed, to kick and splash without let or hindrance and he does so enjoy it, tho bonny wee man! After a good bath he is taken out, with the blanket wrapped about him, as described above. This seems a Tery practical way of bathing, as there is no strain in the position as there is when, the head is held up with the hand. Yes, the People Did Demand It. Kansas Cltr Star (Mug.) Mr. Reed, in his speech at Detroit, eulogizes the courage of the Fifty-first Congress, which, ho 8aid, had dared to throw down the gauntlet and pass the taritt bill in' the face of aD impending election. There is a bravery that is bom of necessity, and it was that aort of valor which animated Congress iu tho enactment of the McKinley bill. It was, so to e peak, a "gTOuud-hog case." m The Odds IVe l ight Against. Albany JournaL The Democracy will steal at least thirtyseven seats in the next IIoumj of Uepreeentatives in tho Southern States aud probably tweuty more in the North by gerrj'manders, yet the .Republican hosts are undaunted, trusting that tho senso of fairness innate in the American people will transcend these artificial bounds. Tho right is on their side, aud they btand to win on that issue. What It Gets for Sending Democrats. Brooklju Eagle (Dem.) It seems a great pity that, among all tho Democratic Representatives of the city of New York who were in Congress duriDgtbo discussion of the census bill, nut ouu had gumption enough to protest against tho clause which appoints the tirst two weeks of June as the time for making tho enumeration a time when a considerable portion of the population is out of town.
