THE MT. VERNON MURDER CASE,

The trials Of Rand, Mckay and Andrus, charged
with the murder of old man Mccormack about
three years ago, will not take place till May
Rand is English and is now serving out a sem
tence in the Penitentiary at Kingston Canada
for an attempt to rob the express office at Brant
ford.
George Mckay was arrested for robbing the
post office at New Lexington, Ohio; was tried be-
fore the United States Court at Cincinnati, and is
now serving out his sentence in the jail at that
place.
Mckay and Rand, it is said, met in Akron
with another gang to rob the Summit county
treasury but their plans were frustrated, and
the job was conceived of robbing Deacon McCor-
mack. They came to Mt. Vernon the day before
the murder, and stopped at the Central House,
where the Curtis House now stands, and after ac.
complishing their work lett the next day. On
the suspicion and theory that the murder was
committed by residents of Mt. Vernon they made
good their escape.

CoRREcTIoN-H. NJ, writing us from Massillon,
claims our Massillon correspondent was In error
in charging bargaining and arranging between
Brown and Warner as TO Justice and Mayor-say.
ing there is "no truth whatever in the report"
He admits that's Of Mr.. Browns friends did
wait on Mr.. Warner with such a proposition, but
Warner is a candidate for both positions, Brown
or no Brown. The first day Of April will see who
is "done Brown" II, NJ. also claims that our cor.
respondent was in error as to Seaman packing the
radical caucus with view Of an arrangement as
to Brown and Warner. FACTS are oftentimes in
dicators unmistakable; and 1t is a fact that the
Republicans Of MassillOn have not nominated a
candidate for Mayor; though they have nomi.
mated their city and township tickets. II
is also fact that they have nominated Mr.. Brown
for Justice. Facts are stubborn things, and show
the purpose of the human mind. The same inAu.
ence seems to have manipulated the so.called
National Labor ticket" of MassillOn, for those
managers have not nominated a candidate for
Mayor But II. NJ. denies any bargaining for the
transfer Of innocent voters Voters must be "in.
nocent' indeed who would be deceived by a
transparency so thin. Mr.. Warner is doubtless
The candidate Of these manipulators. Why not be
open and manly and say Mr.. Warner Is our can.
date for Mayor? Are they ashamed of Mr, War
ner? If not-why act in this sneaking manner? ?
We despise such contemplate trickery. If these
leaders and maneuverers wish to vote for Mr..
Warner, let them say so above board, and place
him in nomination, and call upon good citizens
to support him-if he is a suitable man and wor
thy. If not suitable, and unworthy, let them
nominate some man who is, and appeal to the
people, Such little tricking does not often win,
either in politics or anything else. This is not

nicates in the Repository saying, the Stark Co.

goes on and admits all our correspondent charged,
namely that he had been playing Independent

science and conviction. Mr. Warthost says "In-
huenced by nothing but my convictions voted
for Hayes and Whee'erp No doubt Wells, Ander.

from their Town convictions" Chamberlain &
Co. in South Carolina, doubtless acted from ''con.

counted In fraudulent President on "convic-
ton" And Hayes and Wheeler acted on their
"own conviction" in accepting the fraud 1t
would seem that Frank has been practicing polit-

work in politics and everything else. These po.
litical dodgers and duckers we take no stock in.

ever had is expressed in one word-JUsTICE

BOYLE SENTENCED FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS.

James Boyle, convicted of manslaughter for
shooting Dennis Quinn atAlliance, was sentenced
ON Saturday morning. When asked by the Judge
If he had anything to say as to why sentence
should not be passed upon him, he arose and
with much feeling said he certainly bore no NAL
ice toward anybody, and those parties engaged in
borne no evil design toward any of his Compan-
ions He said the circumstances connected with
the crime were an entire blank and he had no
recollection of any part of them whatever; he was
an old man already, and thanked God that his
wife had died without seeing his deep disgrace
The Judge then pronounced upon him as the SEN
tence of the law that he should be imprisoned In
the Ohio Penitentiary for eighteen years Boyle
already 5S years of age will hardly live out his
sentence, He will be taken to Columbus on

rather morning, and even next day or the night

SENECA Goa supposed elopement in high life
has just come to light at Bloomville, Seneca Co.,
causing quite a sensation in our little village.
Both parties are highly connected and moved in
the best society. The lady left home week ago,
ostensibly to visit friends in Tifin, Ohio. One OF
her children was taken sick, and her husband
wrote for her to come home, but was surprised to
learn that she had not been in Tifin at all. The
gentleman left day or two previous to the ladys
departure, and has not since been heard from.
Both parties were married, and each leaves fam
lily of four small children behind.
