The account which we print on our
first page today tells clearly enough the
sentiment that exists among the Democ-
racy Of the district through which Con-
troller Pattison has begun a triumphal
tour. The sturdy yeomanry and labor
ing men besieged the stations through
which he passed, eager to a glimpse of
the next governor, and if might be to
grasp his hand and assure him of their
unfaltering devotion. We may be sure
that the report which we print of the
enthusiasm with which Mr.. Pattison was
everywhere received and of the favorable
impression he created at all points along
the line, are not exaggerated, for the ar
ticle is written by a Republican member
of the staff of the Philadelphia Press,
who accompanies the party. With this
renewed evidence of the Democratic
candidates popularity staring them in
the face the boss managers can no long
er hope to diguise the fact of tho exist
ence of an overwhelming sentiment that
points unerringly to their complete de-
struction.

tho names of those who have pleaded
right earnestly and well for truth, justice,
humanity and honor are inscribed in let

The trial of Collingswood p. Hallett for
the murder of James Deputy, has began
in the Sussex county court at Georgetown.
Delaware. Thirteen witnesses for tho
state were called, and their evidence
proved very damaging for the accused.
Hal'ett has secured the services of tho
best crimi1a! lawyers in that section of
the state to conduct his case. The defense
attempted is that tho accused acted in
seltdefense. Hallett was neatly dressed.
and for the first time since tho killing an.
psared nervous and excited. Hallett is a
yonng man who had formerly resided in
Milford, and two or three years ago went
West and SEEMINGLY accumulated consid.
erable money. He returned to Milford
last spring flashily dressed and pro-
claimed himself ssWestern thorongh-
bred" and assumed the air of bully. lie
became enamored of a young girl residing
in the town, who is spoken of rather
slightingly and was to marry her. On
the night before the marriage was to have
taken place Hallett and the young girl
were sitting on fence rail by tho road
side at an unseemly hour. Deputy and
companion drove by, and by the moonlight
observed tho young couple in their tryst-
Ing place: He shouted something at Hal.
lett and the girl at which the former took
offense, and deliberately taking a pistol
from bis pocket shot Deputy through the
back, irtiicting fatal wound. When ar
rested about $4,000 in money was found
on his person.

system, began suit for IL foreclos-
ure. In one way and another tho met

the sum now claimed by the plaintiffs
amounted to the enormous total Of over
S7,OOO,OOO. In April last the United
States circuit court granted all inter-
locutary decree. authorizing Special Mas
ter Ryan to take testimony as to the ex-
istence and ownership Of tho old bonds
ing began with most brilliant array of
now believed to be near it's elimination,
so far as the United States circuit court is
concerned. Some of the most eminent
attorneys in America have from time to
time been connected with the case includ-
ing the late Chief Justice Ryan, of the
supreme court of Wisconsin, the late Matt
H. Carpenter and long array of others.
Several of the present attorneys in this
case have grown to be OIL, gray-haired
men since they began to draw papers and
make pleas for the plaintiffs or the defend
ants.
In the present hearing an accounting
will be asked Of tho Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul railroad company for tho
whole term since the company came into
possession of the milwaukee and
La Crosse road, and for all tho
bonds, mortga ges, ETC., created during that
time. The case is watched with tie ut
most interest by the leading lawyers of
the country, not only because of the enor-
nous amOuns involved, but because Of the
legal complications at issue and because
the court has seen fit to divide the plea,
which is claimed to be radical departure
from ordinary practice and precedent.

Many OF our ablest statesmen are not

Beaver obey the will Of the majority
and support Garfield? Had they rebclled
would Garfield have been elected? As
they supported Garfield let Us now sup

are now using his name to defeat Beaver

Mr.. Brewster briefly referred tO the
Ohio election, and suggested that the 70.
suit WOuld be Il benefit to the Republican
party. Ohio WAS y state without bosses,
and the result was defeat. This result no
thought would aid the party in Pennsyl-

causing them to yield to wise leadefships.
Whether Beaver is elected or defeated tho
independents can gain nothing. If he il

a robbery scarcely, if ever, equaled in

committed at Lebanon, Thursday evening.
George d. Rise is q prominent citizen OF

Rise went to his house, which is about =
square from the depot, where he ate sup
per. He then left home with tho intention
of taking the money to the bank to put it
in the safe. A short distance from the
house, and at a point on tho street where
shade trees overhang tho sidewalk, Mr..
Rise was attacked by two robbers, who

throttled and knocked senseless to tho
ground. The ROBBERS then tore the satchel
from his grasp and escaped. Mr.. Rise re.
manned lying in the street for some time
in an unconscious condition. When he
regained consciousness he called for assist
ance, and was taken to his home, where
he was found to be severely but not fatally
injured. Blood was sire aiming from dozen
wounds on his head, face, and neck. In
short time q general alarm was sounded
by the ringing of the court house boil.
Hundreds Of citizens thronged tho
streets and posse was sent out
on hunt for the robbers. They had es-
capped by running through a vacant lot
near tho scene Of the robbery. The affair,
occurring on public street, was
not witnessed by any one. Consequently
the robbers had no difficulty in getting
away. MIR. Rise describes his assailants,
one as tall, slim man with smooth face,
and tho other as a short, thick set man
with long sandy beard. They were both
strangers, and had evidently followed
tho victim from Philadelphia, where they
no doubt saw him receive the money. Mr..
Rise offers reward of 81 900 for their ar
rest, or any information that will lead to |
their arrest. The millionaire, Coleman, it |
is said, offers personal reward OF So, 600.
Information of tho robbery with a do |
scripti0n of the men, las been telegraph |
ed in all directions, and it is supposed |
that their arrest will only be question of |

THE REVOLUTION IN OHIO.

keifer Trying to Find Out What Has Be-
como Of His Party.
Gov. Foster is trying to explain the
causes of his terrible defeat. The statesmen
who fell under his mismanagement and
laundering leadership are heaping i'm
precautions upon him from all parts of the
state. Arab Pasha was not treated worse
by his soldiers than Foster is being
treated. His SecOr Robson man
Keifer, whose chances for succession
to the speakcrship have been SO sud
denly blighted was the first to hasten
to Columbus to find out what had become
of the Republican party. His interview
with Foster is described as highly sensa-
tional. Keifer's friends have believed
from the first that it was Foster who
brought Gen. Bob Kennedy out as q can
didate against him, and there is talk now
of placing Keifer on the track for the
Senate. It is much like Keifer's friends
to do this. They have even had the hardi-
hood to talk of keifer as a presidential
candidate, rs an Offset to Blaine in Ohio.
This talk ut first seemed ludicrOus, but it
became evident that his friends were in
earnest. To many Republicans tho Demo-
cratic victory loses some Of its bitterness
when it is realized that Keifer's term as
speaker is at last curtailed.
In Hamilton county the defeated candi-
dates are equally sore over their defeat.
There was probably never moro money
put into canvass in Hamilton county
than in this one. Just how much money
Butterworth spent will probably never be
known. Amor Smith, the Republican
candidate in tho Second district, spent
possibly less, but larger per cent. of his
own money. Ono of ButterwOrth's S
friends places the amount spent in his
district at from Sc. 900 to 5000. Smith
probably spent from 81, 500 to s., 200.
The only Republican congressman
known to be elected are Morey, Kcifer,
Robinson. Mccormick, Updegratf aud
Taylor. The Democrats have elected Fol-
lot, Jordan, Murray, Lefsvre, Seney, Hill,
Hurd, Neal, Converse, Geddes. Warner.
Wilkins, Wallace, Paige and Foran-15.
Of these, Geddes. who is opposed by Horr !;
Neal, who is opposed by Hart Wallace,
who is McKinley's opponent, aud Morey
(RepublicaD arc somewhat in doubt,
with all probabilities in favor of the
Democrats.
Returns received from fifty counties
show net Democratic gain of 81, 300.
The thirty-eight counties yet to be heard
from will, it is estimated, increase tho
Democratic majority to about 90, 900. The
Democratic gains in Cuyahoga, franklin,
Hamilton aud Montgomery counties will
exceed Fosters majority of last year. The
congressional delegation will likely stand
II Democrats and z Republicans. Unoffi
cial returns elect Hart tRep.) over Neal
(Dcm.) by Is votes, and Morey Rep.)
over Campbell (Dem.) by AZ. The Demo
Gratis claim that Wallace is elected over
Mckinley by Al votes. Stark county has
rot yet been heard from officially.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER
appears in the canvass as the
special eulogist of the Camerons
The task is heavy one and
none will dispute Mr.. Brewster's bold
ness in essaying it. There can be no
question apparently in which there may
not be two opinions if there could be
there might reasonably be expected to
be no difference Of opinion as to the un
fitness of Donald Cameron to be Penn
sylvania's senator, or as to the right of
Simon Cameron to claim the applause of
Pennsylvania's people. There is no man
in whom there is not some good and the
CamerOns have good mixed with their
evil qualities. To be, however, proper
senator for Pennsylvania, much more
Of good and less of evil is needed than
either father or son have ever displayed.
The father is greatly the sons SUPERIOR
in sagacity, and is wise enough to have
left better record than he has made.
It is not worth while, in the settled
state Of public opinion concerning the
Camerons, to speak in particular denun-
citation OF them and it is as little worth
while to raise loud voice in their favor.
Mr.. Brewster can take nothing by
his motion in their behalf. He did not
always think rs well of them, rs he
seems to think now. Why, five years ago
ne was among their bitter denouncer,.
We know not what has taken the scales
from his eyes. They arc still upon
those of the people. In this election THE
FAMILY is believed generally to be on
trial, though Mr.. Brewster says that the
result can neither hurt nor help them. |
They seem TO think differently. Senator
Cameron regards the fight as his own.
