The Election Bribery Case Decided.

We made mention last week of a
pending contest over the Office Of Re-
corder, in Jasper county. growing out
of state of facts precisely similar to
those connected with the election Of
county officers this year in Buchanan
county. The successful candidate at
the polls having entered into a pledge
to return portion of his salary to the
county treasury, and having used this
pledge to get votes, his competitor fol
the office contested the election on the
ground that such pledge was, in effect
the tender Of a bride to the voters. By
the following special to the State Reg
lister, it will be seen that the case has
been adjudicated in the method prescrib-
ed by law, and that the contestants po-
sition, that such pledges are bribery, is
sustained:
NEWTON, Iowa, Nov 15-The trial of the
contested election brought against Mr.. B. j
Russell (Democrat) for the office of County
Recorder, by VIM. CarrOthers the present in.
cumDent, was conducted In the court HOUSE
yesterday. The judges were s. H. Buffers,
chairman of the Board of Supervisors, w. H
Williams, of Monroe, chosen by Mr.. CarrOth-
ers, and Hon. j. G. Cook, chosen by Mr.. Rus
sell, Hon. Galusha A. Parsons, of Des MOines,
appearing for Mr. Russell, and Col. d. Ryan,
Of Newton, for Mr.. CarrOthers. The ground
of the contest was bribery, as the Fusion cOun-
ty convention, and under 1t Mr. Russell, their
candidate, had offered about half the salary
for the Office, promising that Mr. Russell
would return that amount to the county treas
ury If elected Mr.. Russell was elected by 1U2
majority. The decision was 2 to against MIR.
Russell, who will appeal to higher court.
The matter now goes before higher
tribunal, and will probably reach the
Supreme Court before it is finally de-
cided. We hope the solution of the
question will not be long delayed, for
while it is of comparatively little i'm
portance who gets the Offices, it is cs-
sential to know whether this style of
disposing of the Offices by contract has
the sanction of law or not. We have
no doubt that the present decision will
be sustained, and it is probable that the
appeal was taken only to gain time.

A Dissipated Dog.

A Chronicle reporter has recently
discovered rather remarkable phase
of drunkenness In spite of John B.
Cough and a score of other eloquent
temperance orators, and in spite of the
price of drinks, a dog has so far forgot
ten his Unborn dignity and pride of birth
as to become intoxicated. Things of
this kind ought, according to the fitness
of things, to have their origin in the
East, and gradually, if at all, make their
way west. But this constituencies can
inc is here, and must be accepted as an
established fact. When he was a pup
two months old, his owner, Fourth
street saloon keeper, took him to his
saloon. The little fellow Immediately
developed passionate fondness for
beer, running to the tin in which was
contained the drippings from the beer
barrel, and tapping up the liquid at an
astonishing rate. This first debauch
had apparently very injurious effect
upon him, and he fell into stupor
from which his master feared he would
never awaken. He recovered the next
morning, however, and, Immediately up
on awakening, presumably with head
ache, Tapped up new supply of beer
the saloon-keeper, being man of phil
osophical and inquiring turn of mind,
rendered the pup little whisky, by
way of experiment. The liquid was in
stantly swallowed with even a keener
relish than the beer had been. A Sc
ries of experiments soon convinced the
owner Of this dissipated dog that he had
a liking for every Intoxicating beverage
in his saloon, from absinthe down to
porter, and so far from being dwarfed
or injured by their use, he grew larger
and stronger every day. On the morn
ing after a spree the dog (named "Whis-
ky Straight y appears morose and sui
len until he has round or two of whis-
ky, when he cheers up wonderfully, and
frisks around in the liveliest manner
imaginable. Additional potations, how
ever, change his mood; he becomes
cross and quarrelsome, and finally falls
into condition of drunken stupidity

everybody thought it was something con-
nected with the play, or perhaps the manager
had come out to make an announcement of
thanks, or something of that sort. But i'm
agine the amazement of the crowd when the
young man in question got off the following
extraordinary speech.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: Be silent! I
ask for Judgment! I wish to make an an
nouncement. IL Father McNulty promises
to marry me to a young lady of the city of
Patterson, and then goes back on his agree
ment, hereby curse him to hell!
Then he jumped down into the aisle again
and took stand near window. For a
second the audience was so thunderstruck
that the silence was tomb-ike: but as soon
as they recovered from their establishment,
the crowd broke out in buzz of confusion.
For few moments, in fact, it was perfect
| uproar.
Officer Cronk came down the aisle, and
the audience yelled, "fut him OUT The
young man appealed to those near him not
to let him be arrested, and he himself at first
tried to resist the officer, but Cronk seized
him and dragged him off.
The young lady to whom he referred, is OF
respectable people, and feels very much
grieved over the malady of the young man
who will probably be sent to an asylum in
short time.
