WILL JACOB BE MAYOR?
lie Has Taken Out His Natu-
ralizatiOn Papers,
But Another Little Complication Arises.

An unfounded rumor was spread around
the city last night that Mr.. Charles Jacob,
Jr., was not TO be the next Mayor, owing to
his not having taken out his naturalization
papers,
STAR reporter, to get at the bottom of
facts, visited Mayor Jacobs store, on Vine
and Second streets, but he learned that Mr..
Jacob, who had been up all night watching
the count, had gone to bed, and had taken
his naturalization papers to his home with
him.
One of the clerks, however, told our man
to look over the minutes of the Superior
Court of October 18th, 1856, and that there
he would find that Mr.. Jacob had taken out
his naturalization papers.
After brief search the STAR man found
that on page 1913 the very first name of
those naturslized was that OF Mr.. Charles
Jacob His nativity was recorded as
Bavaria, and his witness as Charles Jacob.
The minutes were signed by Judge B.
Storer and Clerk Thos. Spooner.
ANOTHER PHASE OF THE CASE
But another phase Of the case presents
itself. Mr.. jacobs family say he was born
on the oath day of November, 1885. He
would therefore not have been 21 years of
age till the 9th of November, 1856. But
according to the record he seems to have
taken out his papers October 18th, 1856, or
forty-two days before he was twenty-one
years old What the effect of this COM
plant will be remains for the lawyers to
decide
THE PAPERS.
United States of America, State of Ohio,
Hamilton County. Be it remembered that
on the 18th day of October, in the term of
October 1856 of the Superior Court of Gin
cinnat, holden within and for
the County of Hamilton aforesaid,
personally came Charles Jacob, a native
of Bavaria, who came into the United
States when under the age of eighteen
years and declared his intention to become
citizen OF the United States Of America,
before the said Court, agreeably
to the act of Congress in such case made
and provided, and proved his residence
and character by the oath of
citizenship by this Court, took oath to sup
port the Constitution of the United
States of America and that he
did absolutely and entirely forever
renounce and abjure all allegiance and
fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate,
State or sovereignty whatsoever, and par
ticularly to the King of Bavaria.
This is therefore to certify that the said
Charles Jacob has complied with the laws
of the United States in such case made and
provided, and is therefore admitted a citi-

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEw York, April 9.-The Tribune this
morning, referring to Tiden's dispatch to
the Pittsburg Club, says "Tilden will
never abate jot Of his pretensions For
more than two years, in season and out of
season, by private discourse and public
speech and newspaper letters, he has in
sisted that the first duty of the Democracy
transcending all other obligations, and in
volving all the best hopes of mankind,
ls TO raise him in 1880 to the position which
he came so near reaching in 1S76'
He asserts that he has no choice Of candi-
dates for 1880. He is the candidate. He
has been the candidate ever since the last
election. He will be the candidate to the
bitter end. He declares that the fraud
question ought to be divested OF every per-
'sonal aspect, and then he takes fresh thrust
at the party and remarks: "Give me that
denomination or I'll smash the whole con-
eern."
For more than two years Tilden persisted
In an af1ectation of indifference to matters
very closely touching his own reputation,
which indicates contempt for public opin-
ION, and he has ignored notorious facts of
history with camness which argues con-
tempt for public common sense.
None OF the men implicated in the gigan-
tic conspiracy for the purchase of the Presi-
dency were dismissed from Tiden's init
macy in consequence of their misconduct.
Marble, Weed and Pelton are all kept in
favor and trusted Just as before. BY
singular coincidence Tilden and Hendricks
have simultaneously emerged, one in let
ter to the Iron City Tilden Club, the
other in what purports to be an
interview, but which is really three col
umns of remarks by representative of the
World newspaper, to which Hendricks, for
the most part, cheerfully assented. Hen
bricks is not taking small beer when there
is champagne cork in the air, and it is not
too much to infer from letter and inter
view that both the old candidates. are in the
field, and both willing to take the first
place.
The Times to-day gives what purports to
be view OF both political parties in every
State in the Union, and says: briefly
stated, the result of our inquiries is, Grant
is the candidate favored by an overwhelm-
ing majority of the Republican party, and
Tilden is the deliberate choice of a majority
OF the Democratic party sufficient to secure
his nomination, while he would be more or
less re luctontlly accepted by the remainder
OF that party"

PHAIR'S PHAIRWELL
A Vermont Murderer Swings
in the Breeze To-Day.
Special to the Star.

Special to the Star.
WINDSOR, W., April l0-10 A. M.-John
p. Phair, for whose execution here today
every preparation has been made, has at
last given up all hope Of further interven-
tion in his behalf by the Governor, and he
will undoubtedly swing at o'clock this p.
m. The hearing of his petition for a new
trial at st. Johnsbury yesterday resulted in
denial Of the application, after brief de-
liberation by the Judge.
PH\IR's CRIME.
Mrs. Anna Friele, for whose murder
Phair was convicted, kept a house of bad
reputation at Rutland, and she was pos
sessed of much valuable iewelry and con-
siderable money. On the morning of June
9th, 1874, Mrs Friezc's house was discov-
cred to be in flames, which were soon sub
dued by the firemen. Upon entering the
building and breaking down the door of q
bedroom which was found locked, the
partly consumed remains of Mrs. Frieze
were discovered upon the bed in which the
fire had evidently been started.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
she had been horribly butchered, her Jew
eiry and money stolen and the house fred
by her murderer rhar had been on nti-
mate terms with the woman and some of
her personal property found in his posses
sion, together with more which he had
Pawned after her murder, went far toward
cOnycting him of the deed. He was sem
fenced to be hanged April Gth 1877, and
or that day was prepared to be conducted
TO the scaflold when messenger galloped
up with repriove until April ., 1879
The Legislature gave him new hearing on
additional evidence in his favor hut it was
NOT favorable to Phair. Last week he was
granted another respite OF ten days to
await the action on his application for
new trial, which has resulted as above
stated.

COLUMBUS, O., April 10. The Special Com
mittec, H. J. Booth, of the Columbus bar,
Chairman, appointed by the Legislature,
began the investigation of the complaint of
A. G. Collins against Judge Joseph Cox to-
day.
The complainant made his statement
substantially as given heretofore in his pub
lished statement, but on examination by
the Chairman of the Committee admitted
that he had changed the old bill
OF exceptions by erasing the
words November term" and inserting
'June term" without leave. After the
Judge had signed the bill and ordered it to
be made o matter of record he
provided several witnesses who
had testified about his arrest by
the order of the Judge, and as to what
occurred on the hearing OF motion, but
all agreed that the bearing and manner of
Judge Cox was consideratc, save that he
seemed annoyed and wanted to get rid OF
nuisance.
The defense refused to cross-examine
Collins Those who have heard the COM
plainantS testimony regard the charges as
frivolous and unfounded.
The defense is based upon the testimony
OF the Hamilton County Bench and num-
Der of the leading lawyers of the Cincin-
matt Bar, and so far is utterly breaking
down the complaint.

WASHINGTON CITY.

SHALL THERE BE GENERAL LEGISLATION?
Special to the Star
WASHINGTON, Nnril 1O.-A Democratic
caucus is to be lie to-day for the consid-
Grafton of the question whether or not gem
cral legislation shall be proceeded with 1t
isimpossible to predict what the decision of
the caucus will be, but the general belief
seems to be that if it is decided to take up
other matters than appropriation bills it
will be confined to the bill outlined by
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, the other
day, providing for the free coinage of sill
vcr, the issue Of bullion certificates based
upon silver or gold alike, the substitution
Of greenbacks for National Bank notes, and
prohibiting further increase of interest
bearing debt.
Such a bill would undoubtedly receive
the sanction of a majority of the Demo
cratic caucus, and would be likely to pass
both Houses of Congress. 1t will be seen
that it is an omnibus bill, embracing in
one form or other all the leading financial
propositions now before the country.
TO BE AN OHIO PLATFORM.
1t is probable the bill above proposed
will be brought into Congress this session
and be made the platform OF the Ohio De-
mocracy, and an effort made to put the Re-
publicans upon record on it before the fall
elections The soft money Ohio men are
urging it as the basis of the coalition they
desire to bring about in that State with the
Nationals.
