A Jury of Twelve Peers Come to This Con-
The case of the State Us. George Anderson
charged with felonious assault upon his
daughter, child of nine years, was concluded
yesterday in the district court. The court
room was pretty nearly filed with colorod peo-

MADISON, May 23.-During the prevalence of
very heavy rain storm here this afternoon,
the air was suddenly observed to be Fl lied with
falling leaves, small twigs of trees, shingles,
laths and large sticks, one piece of board that
was picked up being eight feet long and foot
wide. 1t seemed to have been wrenched
from house. Hail as large as a
hazelnut also fell. The common solution of
the phenomenon is that heavy whirlwind has
taken place west of here, the clouds, which
were very heavy, coming rapidly from the
west. No reports Of any damage have been re-
ceived yet. During the storm the lightning.
which was very frequent, struck the corner of
the court house, running down the water
pipe, passing through stone wall
into the county treasurer's Office,
tearing off the plaster for a couple of feet
square, but fortunately injuring no one.

WAsu1NGroN, May 23.-Tde national Demo
cratic committee were tonight in session more
than two hours at the Arlington hotel. They
discussed the political situation, generally de-
clining to declare that the present investigation
by the House was not intended to impair the
Presidents title, but adopted the following
resolution, which it was thought would be suf-
tciently explicit to show the object of the in

Resolued, That the action of the House Of
Representatives, in appointing committee
fully empowered to investigate and report upon
the frauds alleged to have been committed in
the late Presidential election, to the end that
the truth may be made known to the people
and a repetition of such frauds be prevented in
the future, meets the approval of this commit
tee.
The committee did not take any action on
the subject of an address to the people. A
committee was then appointed to cooperate
with the congressional committee in regard to

But when it, (the p. P.,) wants to assert its

''The Pioneer Press is not for Stewart. It is

We would infer that ''it'' means the p. p.

Whenever Washburn wants anything he
wants it bad,'' and his first step is to resort
to some dirty trick to obtain it. Thus, when
Bill wanted to 60 to Congress in 1868, he got
his big brother Elihu to assail the incumbent
with lot Of foul and slanderous charges, SO
that over his PROSTATE body and ruined repu-
now as Elihu is no longer in Congress, but is
utterly played out, as exposed and disgraced
demagogue, Bill gets control of the district
Congressional committee and makes an appor-
tionment SO that his county obtains several
more delegates in the convention than it is
fairly entitled to, and then he has the time for
holding the convention fixed for July 10th, SO
that Stewart will not be home to canvass the
| district. The result is storm of considerable
magnitude in the Republican ranks.
| History repeats itself. We hope that Bill
will make the same movements made by his
friends in 1868. Let him get up bogus delega-
tions in half the counties carried for Stewart;
let his friends on the district committee then
issue notice that no delegate shall enter the
hall of the convention unless he has ticket
signed by their secretary; then let him place
policemen on the stairs, with orders to arrest

the organization of the convention. In this
way he may secure the nomination and he will
be elected-as Andrews was.
