May Riley, the victim of the shooting
affray at No. 131 Lonyworth street, is
still living this morning, and with some
what more favorable symptoms than on
yesterday.
Her physicians are constantly in at
tendance, and, although they give small
hopes OF her recovery, think 1t is still
possible. She retains her consciousness
and has little hopes OF recovering, and
at times expresses desire for death.
Chiet OF Police Snelbaker, last night,
had a woman named Carrie Farrell ar
rested in house Of prostitution on Third
street, near Elm, as accessory in the
tragedy.
The Colonel was informed that Mrs.
Farrell called at the Longworth street
house on Tuesday night to meet friend,
and when Wilder did the shooting, held
the door to prevent others from entering
the room where the murderous assault
took place.
1t is also alleged that Carrie Farrell
made threats before going to Riley's,
that she was going there to get saJisfac-
ton, On the other hand, Mrs. Farrell
saws she was positive that her husband
was a constant visitor at Kate Riley's
house, and went there to have it stopped.
She remained there, expecting that her
husband would come, and when she
heard Wilders knock, she said. "Thaps
him." meaning her husband. She states
| that she has never before seen Wilder.
| In the Police Court this morning, on the
charge OF being an accessory to the
shooting OF May Riley, her case was con
tinued until tomorrow, during which
time she remains in the County Jail.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Judge Taft, as our readers may see in
perusing the action of the Convention,
| has been defeated. The nomination has
| fallen upon Ex-Governor Hayes, al
| though he has repeatedly declared that
| he would not be a candidate against
Judge Taft. We have for several days
| foreseen this result. Judge Taft's lib
eral Ideas were spoken too plainly and
| were too widely known to find mercy III
the eyes of the Puritanical country dele
cations. Whether the Republican poll.
ticians have opposed TAFT on account OF
his Liberalism, and thereby bettered
their prospects through his deleat, will
soon be known.
The Republicans have, during the last
few years, through their Puritanical fa-
naticism on the temperance question,
estranged from them a number OF ele-
ments that were formerly its most assid-
uous members. They should have won
them over again. The nomination of
Taft, as we said several weeks ago,
would have done much to bring about
this result. Taft would have obtained
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
votes that have been lost to the Repub-
can party on'account of its dallying with
the crusade movement. =.
Now, that TAFT has been defeated on
account OF the opposition of these Puri-
tanical elements, the inquiry will come
from all sides, whether man of his po-
sition and liberal ideas, can have any
prospect of recognition from the Repub-
lican party. 1t will be said that the
votes Of the people of the views of Taft,
are welcome to the Republicans, but
that when there is question Of nomina-
ton, such men will be pushed gently
aside as not dvdildble, and crowded to
the background. One will see In this
event practical exposition OF the tenn
perance paragraphs OF the last Republl-
can State Convention, and for those,
moreover, who have not yet given up all
hopes of final liberalization of the Re-
publican party, the defeat of such an IL
lustrious man as Judge Taft will be
severe blow and another bitter decep-
ton.
Certainly the Governorship of Ohio is
but a post of honor, without practical in
fluence and even without real admins
trative meaning; therefore 1t would have
cost the Puritanical elements nothing to
have, tor once, used some forbearanoe
least made a showing that the party
could also bear in its ranks other ele-
ments than the Puritanical.
1t will be very hard for Republican
politicians to hinder the anti-Puritanical
elements from drawing such conclusions
from the defeat OF Judge Taft.
General Hayes is in fact no Puritan,
but he has never taken occasion to say
so directly and openly. and was there
fore no stumbling block to the elements
which have so signally defeated Taft.
Gen. Tom Young, of this place, is NOM
mated for the position OF Lieutenant

loss of Governor.
Our space is too crowded to-day to per-
NIT us to give our opinion OF the plat
form. We will do this hereafter. We
will merely mention that in it the tenn
perance question is wholly ignored, as
we stated yesterday it would be.

INDIAN SUMMER.
BY NARY B. DODGE.

Who is the maiden with the cup
OF gold between her hnger-tips,
Its amber vintage lifted up
To meet the crimson of her lips?
She pledges with winsome grace
The lovers kneeling at her feet,
Who knew not, looking in her face,
II shine or shadow be more sweet.
A queen, she treads the fragrant ground
With FURNISHED sandals that awade
Responsive music all around,
From heart-strings broken for her sake.
Both queen and woman-Oh, the pain
At such expense her state TO keep
Better. she thinks. than sangutned plain,
Herself beneath the sod to sleep
Sadly she gazes ON the death
OF passing joy, joy passed away;
Sees, where the future shadoweth,
The shriveled glory Of to-dayi
And, fam to shut the vision out,
She Weaves a film of latent sight,
Drawing the gauzy veil about
Her soft, warm cheek and hazel eyes.
Now, all a queen, it's hers to smile,
And, smiling, yet a kingdom safe,
Though silent in her breast the while
Rise pale forebodings OF her fate.
Her gorgeous robes, made gayer still,
She.clasps with richest jeweled bands,
And, ruling with royal Will,
Spreads fair her benedictive hands.
Only little day she sways-
This tender ,lnut-brown, Indian queen
Mysterious comes-mysterious stays
And leaves to gloom the fading scene.
Yet holds she by the right divine
Nor dares to lay her scepter down,
Until her cup has spent its wine,
And God recalls who gave her crown!
