educational qualification for a vote, must
be afirmatively voted for by t1po- thirds
majority of the qualified electors voting
for members Of the Legislature at the

in which the Radical managers staked
everything, shows that they have played
their best card and lost. Their main
argument was the ''bloody shirt" They
waved it vigorously and shouted "out-
rage" at the top Of their voices; but
without success. What will they dc
now? viii they discuss the legitimate
questions of the canvass? Alas, it is toe
late. Fitzpatrick said a financial cam
paign without money and We are lost. .

Lewis Steiner state senator from Efcd-

examined the body shortly after it was
found and gives the following theory
as to the 81 ofhis death: &

vertigo or the incipient symptoms o
