Grant is the expressed choice of $780, Mr.. Blaine 10,
and washburn, Garfield, Sherman, Conkling, Ed

The Democrats in SO Of the 1871 districts prefer

PHAIR HANGED.

Persistent but Futile Effort, to Secure a
Reprieve.
RUTLAND, VT, April 1O.-D. E. Nicholson and
James G. Barrett, of counsel for John H. Phair, ap.
peared before Governor Proctor at II this forenoon
and asked for further reprieve Of Phair, to allow
session of the legislature to intervene before the ex-
ecution. The ground upon which they asked this
was that the law provides that every criminal shall
have the benefit of intervening session of the Iegs-
lature between conviction and execution, to allew
opportunity to ask for a communication of sentence,
and that owing to the circumstances surrounding
this Phair has been practically debarred from
asking for Communication at the three sessions of the
legislature which have already interviewed. State
Attorney Lawrence opposed the application and at
1890 Governor Proctor rendered his decision denying
it.
At 2.10 the doors were opened. The rope and
spring were tested by Sheriff Simpson and Deputy
AmsdeD. About sixty persons were admitted to the
execution. The procession entered and assembled the
gallows at 20 minutes to O. the Superintendent and
Sheriff Simpson at the head. A short prayer was
offered by Chaplain Mick and Rev. Mr.. Pratt.
Sheriff Simpson then read the original warrant and
three reprieves. Daring the reading Phair's brows
gathered, but he continued cool and possessed. He
then shook hands and bid good bye with Chaplain
Mick and Rev. Mr.. Pratt, and whispered to them
He told the Sheriff he grateful for all the favors
he had shown him. Deputy Sheriff AmsIen then
adjusted the and pulled the black cap over his
face. After the cap was pulled down the Sheriff
said "John P. Phair, the time has now come for the
sentence of the law to be executed upon you.''
Phair's last words were, "Lord remember me; Lord
remember me repeated twice. At 211 precisely
the Sheriff sprung the trap and with dull thud the
BODY fell, and the extreme penalty Of the law was
complied with,
