coldness between them has grown into
deadly hate. In order not to make their
rivalry disagreeable to the object of their
affections they endeaVOred so to time
their visits to her as not to meet each
other in her presence. The other eve.
ming, while Frazier was talking to the
young lady Bailey came in, and they
were not long there before sarcastic al
lusions were made and replied to, the
young lady all the time trembling in
terror at the wrathy glances which the
men exchanged, and which indicated
that there was yet trouble between
them. Finally Bailey left, and soon
afterwards Frazier followed him. An
hour afterward the rivals met on the
road. Few words were exchanged, for
each understood that he was to have
struggle for his life. Bailey drew a
knife and made for Frazier, who an
ticipating trouble, had picked up an ak
from the wood pile when he left the
young lady's house. A desperate strug
gle then ensued, but finally FTaZier's ak
told, and he succeeded in Draining his
antagonist. He is now under arrest.

HIGH AS HAMAN.
A Tramp Lynched in the Heart of
q Great City.

ST. PAUL, April 28.-About 1 o'clock
this morning party of masked men ap-
peared at the jail in Minneapolis and de-
manded the surrender to them of Frank
McManus, the tramp who Tavished and
brutally mutilated the fOur-year-Old
child, Nina Spear, yesterday. The Sheriff
was made prisoner by the mob, but re-
fused to divulge the whereabouts of
McManus. The mob then made thor
Ough search of the Jail, breaking open
every cell on the first floor without
finding the prisoner. They then as
cended to the floor above and repeated
the ceremony, breaking open the cell
doors until McManus was found. The
latter was taken to the house of his vic
tim, where he was fully identified.
Without further ceremony the mob took
McManus to large tree in front of the
high school building and hung him
from limb. At 4:15 this morning, be-
fore McManus was strung up, he con-
fessed his horrible crime. He was
tramp, 26 years old, and came from BOs-
ton. The excitement ran very high dur
ing the night both in Minneapolis and
st. Paul, and public sentiment is indis-
putably with the men who thus admin
istered Justice to the author of one of the
most atrOciOus crimes in the annals of
Minnesota. The child victim is in a
precaTiOus condition, with a doubtful
chance of recovery.

seen the Judge yet, but had authorized
to be made to the Judge proposition in
the face of which he, the Judge, could
not afford to be candidate; that he in
tended to go to Salem the next day to
see Judge Laubie, and that if the Judge
had not already determined not to be
candidate he had no doubt but that the
Judge would so decide after he could
have an interview with him. Major Nc
Kinley left New Lisbon the next morn

in the evening, and he then told me
that he had been to Salem and had had
an interview with Judge Laubie, and
that the Judge would not be a candidate
then; that the Judge had authorized him

RUSHING TO BLAINE'S DE-
TENSE.

The Blaine organs are inventing all
manner of absurd stories to break the
force of Perry BelmOnt's uncOvering of
that gigantic fraud, James G. Blaine.
There never was an iOta of truth in the
report that Belmont proposed to fight a
duel or the rumOr that he intended to
resign from the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. His reply to Blaine's bOmbast
that he would meet him in private was
simply made to avoid the scene the
bully and coward" was enacting for his
own personal and political capital. The
bowling of the Blaine hireling news
papers resembles the squealing Of stuck
pigs, and the "the boy caused all the
trouble simply because he or somebody
behind him" had determined to pune
ture the political bladder, known as
Blaine. Wilson, of W. Va, to whom
Blaine appealed in his desperation, mis-
represents the Wheeling district of West
Virginia, and will be left at home the
next time to make room for man who
is Democratic in practice as we'll as by

THE WONDERFUL MAJOR.

1T Is perfectly wonderful what elo-
quent and telling speeches on tariff,
those Ohio members of Congress, who
are candidates for reelection can make.
Mckinley, Townsend and Updegraff
have each made ''the best speech ever
made in Congress on the subject" The
papers of Cleveland, and the Mckinley
organs IN this district, first discovered
that IL was their man who held the
house spell bound. Then came Town
send, and now the Updegraff papers in
the 10th district, together with the
wheeling papers, give the credit to the
Doctor. So it goes. The New York
Tribune, the ablest protection organ in
the country, speaks of the tariff discus
sion as monOtOnOusly dull and uninter-
estlng until Haskell, of Kansas, rose to
speak. Then for the first and only time
ala the House give attention and be-
come interested in the debate. All of
which goes to show that these great
speeches are for the most part, the
creatures of the vivid imaginatiOns of
the great mems strikers at home. The
Tribune being uninteTested in the per-
sonal success of any of these gentle
men at the coming primaries, gives a
just and true account of the tariff de-
bate, and unfortunately fails to men
tlOn either the representative from this,
the 10th or Goth districts. Now we have
no desire to belittle Major McKinIey's
efforts in Congress or elsewhere, but
when for mere political effect, his or
gans undertake to magnify his ability
beyond their proper limits, we demand
the record. Two years ago, the same
dodge was resOrted to, when he deliv-
cred speech, which is now admitted to
have been prepared by Col. Hill, of East
Liverpool, and was delivered by getting

to catch the train, got on and rode with
Major Mckinley to Salem, where we
both got off, Mckinley stopping there
and l taking the next train in few
minutes back to LeetOnia. On that Oc-
casion Major Mckinley told me that he
had come on to look after his canvass,
and was going first to see Judge Lau-
bic to get the Judge to keep out of his
way; that he had been advised by
friends in his own, and in this county,
to pursue such a course. and by some
means to get the Judge to hold off for
1882, and wanted to know what
thought of it. Before | left him l ad-
vised him not to make any promises to
Judge Laubie that would bind him for
the future. On that same day Major
Mckinley came to New Lisbon in the
evening and told me that he had seen
and talked with some of Judge Laubie's
friends in Salem (being unable to see
Judge Laubie, as, he was out of town
that day., and he was satisfied that
when he would see the Judge, which he
intended to do the next day, he could
stop the Judge from being a candidate
at that time. Major Mckinley went
from New Lisbon to Salem the next
morning and returned in the evening,
when he told me he had seen Judge
Laubie and that he had succeeded in
getting the Judge not to be candidate;
that he had told the Judge that all he
wanted was a second term in this his
original district, and that if the Judge
would not run against him then, that
he would not run against the Judge in
1882. l said to Major Mckinley, when
he told me this, that he could not afford
to make that promise to Judge Laubie,
as he would want to go to Congress
again in 1882 as bad as he did then; and
he said to me, "Oh, that will be all
right; the State will be redistricted by
that time, and we will not be in the
same district" +. P. MOORE.

This is to certify that about two years
ago (the precise time of which we can
not remember), and while it was sup
posed that Judge p. A. Laubie was a
candidate for Representative to Con-
gress, he and Hon. VIM. Mckinley, Jr.,
met and had conversation together in
the Farmers National Bank of Salem,
D. This conversation we did not hear,
as we were behind the counter attend
ing to our duties as officers of the bank,
but when the conversation between
these gentlemen was over they got up
from their seats and announced to us
that Judge Laubie had withdrawn from
the canvass and would not be a candi-
date for Representative against Nc

agreed to do so. r. V. HAMPSON,

because of the change of the district
two years before; that if he got another
term from this district he would be sat

and he had arranged with Judge Lau-

1882. l then told Mr.. Mckinley that l

He is certainly liable to no penalty or
criminal prosecution. If liable at all, it
is simply to civil suit for $500, to be
collected by execution. 1 do not think
he is liable even for that, but the ques-
tiOn is not free from doubt.
