Free Advice.
Given as q Party Organ.

vast deal of advice to the FREE
MAN it may not be out of pla ce for
it to return the compliment.
And for the purpose of tender
ing few suggestions free of charge,
let the FREEMAN resolve itself, as
it were, into a party organ for the
time being.
And first, speaking as
A DEMOCRATIC ORGAN,
let it say, that the way things
have been going for some time past
in several portions Of the State,
notably in the First and Third
districts, there is nothing would be
SO healthy and invigorating to our
party as a good sound licking.
1t has been notorious to all in
telligent Democrats in these local
tiles, that for years past, all the
figuring by those manipulating
the machine, has been to find out.
just how bad candidate the hon
est Democrats would tolerate, and
just how many indignant Demo
cratic votes they could loose and
yet elect their man.
Now, as to the remedy in such
case, our observation is that the
only way to adjust such a machine,
is to elbow it up" at the polls; and
our advice to the honest Democrats
of the First and Tn ird districts is,
that now is splendid time to have
wholesome explosion.
Getthe old party "chaff-piler" out
of the way, and we'll have candi-
dates hereafter to represent the
honest rank and file of the party,
rather than the beer jerkers and
political jobbers.
Further we would advise the
Democratic party that it made a
great fool of itself last winter in
spurning the petitions of the people
but this is superfuous as it has
already found it out. Let us hope
it will cure itself of this blunder
at the earliest possible date.
Our final advice is, that if the
party wants to live in West Vir-
ginia it must take up the only live
issue, the peoples issue, and fight
their battles against the liquor traf-
fc.
And now let US speak as
A REPUBLICAN ORGAN.
And in advising our grand oldparty
of great moral ideas, we can not but
first lament its unaccountable DO
litical blindness in SHINING away
its day Of grace, in that it stupidity
failed as a party to take up the
peoples righteous cause which the
last Democratic Legislature dashed
to the earth.
The people are faithful to reward
their deliverers, and delight to
honor the foremost in the breach,
and our party missed a golden OPP
portunity here.
Our advice to ourselves as Repub-
licans now is, to repair the folly of
delay by the utmost speed and dill
ligence henceforth in graphing
with the enemy of our homes, and
declaring for the people against
the combined allies of the liquor
powers and political corruptions.
This let us do, and do quickly,
if haply we as Republicans may
yet snatch victory from a hating
and acknowledging Democracy.
And now having advised you
both as your own organs ought to
advise you, we gladly resume our
wonted position as
AN INDEPENDENT ORGAN,
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-09-27

CoMMIssIoNER.-We hope our
friends will not overlook the I'M
portance of electing an anti-license
County Commissioner. We under
stand that Mr.. Kellar is making a
special appeal to Republicans who
are opposed to prohibition, to vote
for him because he is license
man. We trust Mr.. Spencer, who
has been tried and found true, on
the license question, will gain i've
Democratic votes for every liquor
Republican vote he may lose.

would be furnished him in print to-mor

entitled to four days ia which to move an
arrest in judgment.
Guiteau, who from the moment tina;
Judge Cox began delivering his charge,
had dropped his air of fiippant arrogance
and sat with rigid features and compressed
lips, called out in tones of desperation
God will avenge this outrage"
Judge Cox then said: Gentlemen OF
the jury cannot express too many
thanks for the manner in which you have
discharged your duty. You have richly
merited the thanks of your countrymen,
and feel assured you will take with you
to your homes the approval of your con-

The court was then declared adjourned,
and the trial which has absorbed public
interest for more than ten weeks ended.
The crowd quietly left the court room and
the prisoner gesticulating with manacled
hands, was led out. As he passed the re-
porters table he leaned over and called
out to an acquaintance, The court in
banc will reverse this business
His appearance was that of man deep
" moved by indignation at some outrage

the van a crowd of men and boys yelled
and shouted themselves hoarse in mockery
of the prisoners constant boast ''The

followed until out of sight by crowd.
Scoville viii probably file motion for
arrest OF judgment and for new trial on
the exceptions The law gives the defend
ant four days to file motion and reasons
for new trial, and it is customary for
the court to sit to hear argument. Should
this motion be overruled the defendant
will appeal to the General term and under
the law the defendant is entitled to sus-
pension of the sentence until after the next
General term, not exceeding thirty days.
The January General term is now in ses-

will be appealable to the April term. 1t
is the custom of the April term to. contin-

the latter part of May, then, If the judg
ment is affirmed the execution might take

THE END OF THE TRIAL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-At Porter's elo-
quent stirring sentence, Guiteau was reused
almost to fury, and almost beloved like a
beast
Porter referred to Reeds discovery that
Cordie was insane and said, 'she was q
contrast to this vindictive cowardly wretch.
She was not afraid to die"

may put my body in the ground, If you
can, but tell you this nation will go
down in blood if you harm q hair of my
head"
wilkes Booth was almost patriot COM
pared with this c0wardly assassin. He
was man of manhood and maliness.
But this sneakiug, cowardly wretch could
plan for his victims death and his own
safety at the same time. He murdered for
revenge and notoriety.'
Guiteau-f1 shot my man in broad day
light and don't you forget it, Porter.
For the next half hour there was con-
tinuous stream of Interruptions and abuse
from the prisoner, and a score of liars.
He denounced Porter as a liar with various
adjectives. Never before had his vindic-
| tiveness been so plain and his cunning
merged into angry spite, and he un-

Porter said Judas Iscariot could not have
pronounced more sinister Judgment than
Guiteau in his criticism on the religious and
moral growth of the past 600 years.
Guiteau-ssJudas would have employed
YOU as his attorney, you big liar, you"
Porter depicted the ridiculous ahsurdlty
of Guitearl's claim of tTansitory mania,
which left him as soon as his victim sank
to the ground, perfectly sane man.
Passing on to the criticism OF Ut.

He then referred to the frequent state

tions could only have been prevented by

against these statements would have been

RUM0RED CHANGE.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 26.-The statement
yesterday sent to the World that the place
of Judge Hunt, on the Supreme Bench,
win be filed by Judge Folger, and that ex-
Senator Conkling will be called to take
charge of the Treasury has produced as
much excitement in this city as if every
intelligent and well-informed public man
had not known for months past that the
drift of the Presidents policy was steadily
leading in this direction. What is called
@'the Blaine influence has been very much
exercised over it, but that is more likely to
confirm than to shake the Presidents pur-
poses President Arthur is cool, wary,
'tgive himself away" very easily,
and there is little doubt that he has fully
measured and holds at it's just value all
the strength that is likely to be taken from
his Administration by any such open
declaration of war as would be likely to be
made by the excitable followers of Mr..
Blaine upon the accession of ex-senator
Conkling to the Cabinet. Such declara-
ton of war would not deprive him of the
support of a dozen men of weight among
the republicans of both Houses in Con-
gress, and as for the democrats, they are
quite ready that President whom they
did nothing to choose should be allowed
to choose his own advisers freely. 1t
ought to be understood that there is No
suggestion of an intrigue or bargain IN
this business. Judge Folger did not par
tlcularly wish to take the Treasury, when
he was asked to do so by President Arthur,
and he finally accepted the position with
out committing himself to keep it through
out President Arthur's term He has ac-
Quilted himself very creditably of the
duties of the Office, and no fault is found
with him here by any one. But there are
certain disagreeable duties arising cut Of
past incumbencies which cannot well be
shirHed by any faithful Secretary of the
treasury and it is no secret that Judge
N0iser would be glad to be spared the
necessity - OF performing these duties
if possible. He would he at
~ 'oo' on the Supreme Bench,
Ao 'an never be in the Department, and
iahse would place him for life in o
poslllon OF the highest honor. excellently
sul'ea to his abilities and his training. It
is quite certain that no consultation as to
pioposed change has yet taken place
"ech himself and the President. nor is
any iiAeiy to take place until the matter

.uon' ana ex ex-senator Conkling. This is a

every day during the trial, and never heard
the subject mentioned Mrs Garfield ap-
parently has taken no interest in the tria
