pDNCY,

The leading Republican journals are
already indicating q surrender OF the
Presidency by exhortlns the party to
go Cor the next House."
The Cincinnati Commercial sipniti-
cantly ooniesses that "the main issue Is
simply whether the Democratic party
shall have possession at once OF both
Houses Of Congress and the Presidency,
that they may reorganize the Supreme
Court, and by the appointment OF addl'
tional Judges, control that tribunal, aud
give the Interpretation they desire to
the fundamental law Of the land. That's
now the burning question IA American
politics"
Looking over tho field experienced
Republican politicians have settled
down Ia the conclusion that with GAR
rIrLp ~ candidate, they must OF neces'
sity carry New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey and Indiana to insure success
The most credulous politician would
not take slakes on that undertaking
Shrewd men concede that the certainty
Of a Democratic victory next fall, cannot
BIO questioned except the chance be
thrown away ut Cincinnati,

man by the name of Reed about four years ago
and Jim Brown and Andy Macon. for the MUIR
der of old man Tarleton Macon. the father of
Andy Macon and the father-in law of Jim
Brown-were hung here this evening at half
past o'clock. just before the hanging we
were allowed to visit them In their cells. where
We found Boiler and Brown engaged In prayer
and Macon walking the floor. The two first
seemed broken down. while the latter wore a
look that would have done credit to Julius
Caesar Boiler complained of being thirsty and
asked for water. and on being questioned as to
his hopes for the future. expressed himself as
being satisfied. In behalf of Sam Boiler tee-
gram was sent to the Governor by his attorney
and a few leading citizens at 11:15, asking a
stay of sentence for four days, by which time
they promised to produce evidence that would
show that he did the killing In seif-defense,
and through the potency Of which they ex-
pected to get a pardon. The Governor an
swered promptly, stating:" Il cannot interfere
In the sentence"
At 6 O'Clock the prisoners were brought out
When Boiler reached the top of the gallows he
took a look around and said. "Oh. my God y
When they were on the scaffold the Reverend
Messrs. Milmer. Muze and Jamison assembled

thanked the ministers for their kindness. and

ssptritEallg speaking. he answered. Il am going
to glory. Both of my little children are In
sneaven. and they have appeared unto me sew
ssral times and have told me that will and

MIR. Henley. the justice OF the peace who first
tried Bole-.. was present and Boiler seeing
him. requested that he take his body to Deole
plantation and bury 1t where his wife and little
sehildren could see his grave and think of him
About this time negro girl outside the enclo-
sure began to shout. and Boiler. hearing her
said, Hush, sister; don't grieve for me. am
not going to die: only going to leave this world
to live with Jesus"
The statements of Jim Brown and Andy Ma
con as to their future were about the same as
Boilers. only Jim Brown said that he wanted
his funeral preached on the third Sunday
naming the ministers he wanted to otficiate,
and predicting clear. pretty day. They all
expressed peace and good will to all mankind
