A DYING MAN Av0ws HIS GUILT OF A
MURDER COMMITTED Two YEARS AGo.-The
people OF Gainesville, Ca. are excited by
the discovery OF a murder which was COM
mitted two years ago, but which has just
come TO light. Two years ago revenue
officer named Cotton disappeared mysteri-
ou<ly. He had just caused the arrest OF
man named Dunegan for Illicit distilling.
james Bryant, brother-in-law OF DuneSan,
openly threatened that he would Kill Cotton.
Little was thought OF his threat. One day
Bryant, while drunk, told man that lie had
killed Cotton and hidden his body. AS Bry-
ant was a great braggart his story was
not believed. The disappearance OF Cotton
had almost been forgotten, when, on Sun
day, Bryant, on bis death-bed, confessed
the deed fully and prayed for forgiveness.
He said be tried to poison Cotton and failed.
Exasperated at this, be found him in the
woods one day and struck him a blow on
the head with stick, breaking the skull.
He buried Cotton's body near his dstlllery.
Monday persons searched the place Bryant
had indicated and found human remains,
with skull terribly crushed. Near by
was found bottle OF poison and pistol.
A coroner's inquest was held. but failed to
implicate any one but Bryant. Cotton was
one Of the most efficient men in the revenue
service.

Illinois Elections.

The bullabaloo raised by the Republicans
in Congress does not seem to have fright
ened the northern people. In Illinois last
Monday judicial elections took place, as we
have already stated. The Chicago Times
says:
The judicial election on yesterday was
for the Democrats what in sporting par
lance is called walk-away." The chicken
hatched by the Republicans at Farwell Hall
came literally home to roost. The prelu-
dice and passion turned againstJudge Nc
Allister reused the Democrats to action
while the fare set before the opposition
proved so unpalatable that even the most
vigorous party cries failed to give them a
voting appetite. In point OF fact, the re-
suit Of yesterdays election was the peoples
rebuke OF partisan nominations. WINE IL
is true that the candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket had in the past trained with
that party, they were essentially the peo-
pies choice, and partisan only because the
Republican managers had forced partisan

Every voter who would bring peace to
the State aud save it from ruin will refuse
to support the desperate destructives. The
voters want TO assist in re0r2anizing the
State upon the principle OF honesty and
public devotion. In this way we can re-
establish the glorious old Commonwealth
and revive civilization and public decorum;
in this way we can see public virtue and
public thrift and contentment once more
prevalent in happy land.
This is the public sentiment and belief.
People want to live happily in substantial
earnest, and honestly commu-
nifty. They cannot consent to become
par,y to the public degradation. They viii
not turn copspirators against their State,
against its credit and dignity, and thus be-
come traitors TO the public honor and the
peace and thrift OF the people.
The time when the State was in danger
