THERE is little room to doubt that
Grant will receive the nomination Of
the Republican National Convention
which meets at Chicago next Wednes-
day, as the candidate of that psrty for
President. The delegates already In
structed and pledged for him render
that result substantially certain, and
nothing short of q special interpOsi-
ton of Providence can prevent the
contamination of the scheme of the
men who have the control of the Re-
publican machine. The friends of
Blaine may bluster and threaten, but
it will be of no nee. They will have
to. take back seats in the Republican
synagogue and take their little dish Of
crow without grumbling, or be entire

man the Democracy will haye to meet
in the coming struggle, and it will moi
be wise to count on an easy victory

A Most Horrible Crime.

:
An unusnal degree fef excitement
prevailed in this village last week,
over the report that Lawrence S. Faulk.
was guilty of the revolving and un-
natural crime of incest with his three
daughters. AS he'nauseating details
of the crime were made public, indig-
nation increased. and, as usnsl when
excitement runs high, many wild and
absurd stories were put in circulation,
some of which do injustice to those
who are in no wise seacensnrabae. 2. We
giYe the essential facts, 0mitting all
unnecessary details. ..,,o. 90 s.... :,
"A little more than two years and q
lliaif ago, Juliette, the oldest girl, and
who is now twenty years Of fage, at :
tempted suicide by cutting her throat,
and at the time charged her father with
having seduced her, but, as she was
believed to be insane, her statement
was not made public. Last week che
again attempted suicide, and repeating
her former charge, an . investigation
followed, resulting in the affair being
made public. '~D'' 90

that he threatened to kill them If they
ever told 1of his guilt, and thus, by
playing ON their fears, and fesorting
TO the most extreme measures, which
need not be mentioned in detail, he
made them the unwilling slaves of his
shellisho passion, forever blightiBg
their lives. 1t is also stated that he
accomplished the rum of his youngest
tgirl, May, now only eleven years OF
age, about q year ago.
l.. On Thursday a warrant was issued
for. HE arrest, and, although he had
been frequently seen that morning, he
suddenly disappeared, and has thus
far evaded an arrest. 1t is reported
tthat he took dinner. at Parkman dur
l ing the afternoon Of the same day. A
reward OF, 500 has been offered for
his arrest. The enormity of the crime
demands that the severest penalty of
ltthe Law should be visited on him.
Faulk was raised in this place, and
is between 45 and SO, years of age. He
has wife and, three daughters. He
Was holding the Offices Of Deputy
Sheriff, Constable and City Marshal.
The girls who are the unfortunate
victims in this sad affair are modest
and lad ylike in, their department, and
haye heretofore sustained an irre-
proachable character. They are enti-
tied to, and no doubt viii receive the
sympathy Of the entire coinmunity.9

that Mr.. Garfield, instead of stating
plainly and unequivocally whether
he was in favor OF repeating the duty
or containing it, drew up an average
campaign platform in favor of such a
duty as would incidentally protect
American manufacturers and at the
