Several correspondents called to
SEQ Guiteau to day Immediately
after tho decision rendered against
him. They wore not permitted to
see him. At the jail II was learned
that Guitsau showed great excite.
mont when he frst heard the decis-
ion, but soon quieted down. In the
last few weeks Guiteau has gained
about 10 pounds. Every day ho
grows moro insolsnt TO his guards.
The refusal Of Warden Crocker to

angry. because II dsprives him Of o

speculation a. to what will be the
next move Of Chas. Reed, Guitesu's
lawyer. he refuses to say what his
plans are. It is believed that he in
tends to sue out . writ Of habeas cor

preston is that he can do nothing

A matter Of great importance to

necessity Of carefully looking into
the payment Of assessments to the

Judge Cslhoon is popular in all
the counties, and could do a. much
as "any other one man in the Dem
ocratic party to "dscimate the mena-
cling 5000 majority" though it is o
mistaken idea aoout independents

The Independents, Republicans and

"Specul ton is ripe. and at this

what the nominees will DO. One
thing certain, it will take an extreme
" wise selection by the Democrats to
