THE lcQrITTAL or SESSIONS.

The Democratic papers are getting ready to
howl over the acquittal of Mr.. Sessions. The
theory prevails in certain of these newspapers
that whenever a Republican is on trial before
a jury the Republican party rs a whole is to be
held responsible for the verdict no matter
whether there are Democrats on the jury or not.
That was the argument advanced in the Dor
scy case. Dorsey was 4 Republican; he was
acquitted Therefore, the Republican party
must go-athough on both trials, as it was
proved, Democratic iuymcn were largely in
strumental in helping him to escape. On the
first trial the foreman, who was afterward in

dicted for his acts In behalf of the defendants
in the Jury room, was prominent Democrat,
SO now, Mr.. Sessions being Republican, the
Democratic papers assume, hrst thao ne lS
guilty; and, second, that being guilty, the he
publican party of the State OF New Ork ana OF
the United States is responsible because a jury
I'm Albany consisting of four laborers, two
grocers, two painters, one farmer, one cigar
maker, and two persons whose occupations are
not stated were unanimous and prompt III the
conclusion that the charge against HIM was not
proved. This is silly, to say the least OF It,
We don't know the politics of these men,
but their occupations show that they were not
specially connected with political affairs, and
we Judge from the fact that one OF them SAID he
had never heard of Conkling and Platt that
some of them at least took no interest in poll
tics. Probably some were Democrats and some
Republicans. The Republican Attorncy-Gcn-
eral joined the District-Attoney In the prose-
cution, and thus the party by its officers, dld
it's whole duty
The Democratic papers are sure Sessions was
guilty. Possibly he was. But jurleS require
proof which Democratic papers do not. SEES
sOns's word is as good as Bradley's, In law and
perhaps elsewhere, and it was practically an
issue of veracity between the two men. SEES
sions's story made out Bradley rascal and
Bradlcy's story made out Sessions 1901.
Those who know them best must decide which
is the more improbable. THE TRIBUNE has a
poor opinion of Mr.. Sessions, and has repeatedly
expressed it but it would not therefore, as
sumo that he stole Charley Ross and killed Mr..

toward THE TRIBUNE. Nowsmcu will see that tins

also see that in chargi ng an excessive price they
will inevitably do themselves an injury
In the first place, every ncwsman in the country
knows that THE TRIBUNE is the only paper IN New
York that allows them fair prohtfor handling ana
selling. This Office has dcalt so literally with
them that they make on one copy OF HE Tribune

But the CHASTITY operation of lowering the quiv-

around like so many ghOuls, to feel the pulse
and count the heart beats of the dying man,
took place as usual. What good does this do

do not see the improperly of performances like
this, at least self-respecting physicians should.
The verdict of the COrOner's jury in the
Walsh Irving inquest is simply astounding.
Walsh killed Irving; that nobody doubts. But
the fatal bullet that ended Walsh's wicked
career never came from lrvings revolver.
That weapon was of 38-calibre, while the bullet
in Walsh's body came from 32-calibre
