The deadlock continues in the Senate,
although the Republicans are evidently
weakening, and becoming frightened at the
way in which the country regards their per
sistent refusal to act on President Garfeld's
appointments, for which the Senate was
called together. Whatever the outcome may
be, it will not conduce to harmony among
the Republicans, and will probably place New
York indispntaby in the column of Demo.
cratic States.

DARING ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-Four
tramps, Jas. Brady, VIM. Edwards, James
Thompson and Edward Smith, who were con-
fined in Jail ON the charge of breaking into VIM.
II. Mahan's canning factory, near Churchville,
made daring attempt to break out, last Satur-
day morning, but it was frustrated by the
Sheriff. who was informed of their plans by q
prisoner. They had been confined in cells on
the first floor, but complained that the cells
were damp, and requested the Sheriff to put
them up stairs. lie did so and on Friday night
they managed TO cut hole through the wall
over their cell door, which gave them access to
the entire prison, They endeavored to pick the
locks of the cells containing the other prisoners
but did not succeed. Their plan, as told to the
other prisoners, was to secrete themselves In the
lower hall, and when the Sheriff or his deputy
camein the morning to carry them water, to
overpowcr him, take the keys, lock him in the
jail and escape. Early in the morning Coleman
Vanhorn, who Is serving out sentence for as.
sault, wrote q note informing the Sheriff of the
plans of the desperadoes. Hewrapped 1t around
his pocket knife, which he threw out into the
yard. He then called to OF the Sheriff sons,
asking him to look fol- the knife. The boy
found the knife, and carried the note to Sheriff
Morgan The latter entered the jail with
deputy prepared to receive the rogues, should
they attack him. They started to rush towards
him, but were deferred by revolver In tue
Sheritrs hands. They were marched back and
put in separate cells.
1t was afterwards discovered that previous to
their removal from the cell on the first floor
they had made an effort to escape by digging
down through the floor. They made hole
three feet deep, but encountering mass of hard
cement they desisted and asked to be taken up
stairs.
They made another attempt on Monday, to
break out, but 1t was discovered before they
had pierced the wall.
1t is supposed that their anxiety to escape
arises from the fact that they may be wanted by
the authorities elsewhere, for more desperate
crimes A guard will be kept at the Jail every
night until court meets.

system, Justice entities each division and sub
division of territory to representative When
county Is so divided that the districts therein
exceed the delegates thereof, the Democratic
custom has ever been to grant unto each rep

into six districts, and is to be represented in the
State legislature by four delegates. Five of
these districts have had the freeInau's share and
some of them the lions share of representatives
The second district is this year truly entitled to
representation by justice aud custom. In virtue
of this right we nominate the districts choice,
and call upon our Democratic brethren of the
county TO "Render to Caesar the things that
are Cesar's." Our choice is man whose name
Is synonymous with Democracy, IL man who
neither buys nor sells his constituents man
who considers that government exists for the
people, not the people for government o man Of
political strength, probity liability. William
s. Bowman is the man. flour district is entitled
to representation, and 1t is, the districts choice
should be that representative. Support him as

A attempted Suicide.

About o'clock last evening a we'll dressed
and fair appearing mau arrived at the Chip
pewa house, on Robert street, between Fourth
and Fifth streets, and registered his name as
w. B. Ransom, of Owatonna. he told the
proprietor that he was rather short of money,
and asked for room only, which was assigned
him. He then called for glass of water and
a spoon, saying that he was obliged to take
medicine. The glass OF. water was furnished
him, and he mixed in it q powder and took a
seat Shortly after drinking portion of it
he fell into sleep which lasted for half hour
or more, when the clerk undertook to arouse
him, but without avail. The proprietor be-
came alarmed and at once sent for Officer
Cook, who took look at the man and at
once summoned DR.. Quinn. The doctor ex-
amined the contents OF the glass from which
the man had drank, and found that cynodine
of potassium, rank poison, had been mixed
in the water. DR.. Quinn relieved the man
by forcing q vomit, and at midnight he
was breathing hardly, but with every evidence
that he would recover from the effects OF the
drug. He was unconscious, and all efforts to
wake him were unavailing. There was moth
ing on the mans person to show who he was
and all there is known about him IS his name
registered as above stated in bold clear hand.
From his dress, soft white hands and general
appearance it is evident he has not been accus-
toned to hard lobor. Should he recover con-
sciousness something more may be heard OF
who he is and where he really came from.
