and Conkliag and Arthur arc morally
and Intellectually responsible for the
crime. Mr.. Conkling shall not escape;
he shall not shirk the responsibility
OF the state of thinss that led to this
act; and he shall not escape the con-
demuatiOn of the American people, if

graceful scramble for Office that led to

misdeeds Of these men, high in power,
visited upon the head of this poor, in
sane man, ifI can help it. This cla-
NOR for his blood is not for the pur-
pose of ayenging Garfield or satisfying
Justice, but their theory is this: If
it can be shown that this was the act
Of Sane man, then those politicians
in high place will say, "Of course we
IRE not responsible for the act of

On the contrary, gentlemen of the jury
what is the effect Of your verdict if you

Five weeks from Tuesday We have
an election for new town board.
In consequence OF which the old board
are trying to leave the financial con.
ditlon of the town in tangible shape
so that who ever takes charge of the
city government will have no business
to complain. SO far the town affairs
have gone all right with the.exception
that there have been some discrepen-
cies found in Police Justice ]. w.
Dollison' S accounts, two of which have
been explained away, bu: the last one
for small amount for which there is
no record to be found. Certainly We
do not think the police court business
has been so voluminous here for the
last year that it would require a very
expert book keeper to keep the books
straight, OF 4 very large vault to take
care of the exchequer, therefore the
affairs are notso complicated but what
any ordinary man can see when there
is deficiency in the accounts or any
crookedness going on. We trust
however that these little matters can
be explained satisfactory as 1t only
involves very small amounts.
