He Refused to Make Any Statement, and
Carried His Secret With Him
TO the Grave.

lO.-bdultl SuTitN, the
second man convicted OF the murder of Cav.
endish and Burke, was hanged at Kilmain-
han Jail at o'clock this morhiug. The
Jail was guarded by force OF military simi-
Brady on Monday last. Canon Kennedy
and Father O'Rislly arrived at the prison at
an early hour to attend Curley. After the
priests had prayed privately with the con-
demned man in his cell mass was performed
in the prison chapel in the presence Of the
governor and wardens, when Curley received
the sacrament. Meanwhile the group Of
women which had gathered outside the
prison were on their knees saying the litary
for the dying. When the black flag, an
nouncing that the execution had taken
place, was hoisted over the prison every man
in the crowd outside, which numbered bare
ly thousand, uncovered their heads and
murmurs of sympathy with Curley
were uttered. A rush was then made by the
crowd for the garden near by where Curley' .
relatives had assembled, and whsre his
father was kueeliug and praying tor the re-
pose of the soul of his son. The people soon
dispersed quietly. Curley walked to the
scaffold with little assistance. He seemed to
be resigned to his fate, but was hardly firm.
He declined 10 make any statement touching
his connection with the crime for which he
was executed. Death was instantaneous. In
letter which Curley wrote his wife, he said

DURING the course of debate on the ques-
ton of confirming the Governors appoint

nevolent institutions, Senator Brown took
occasion to say that sit is a Democra tic

should be chosen by the people or by the

are of very doubtful value even in the
esteem of the Democratic party. 1t may
have been Democratic maxim prior to
1879, but at that time Democratic Legisla-
ture as a Democratic measure, ordered that
the power of controlling the benevolent
boards should be in the hands of the Gov
Senate. Now, that new members are to be
appointed, and that a Republican Governor
is to do it, the versatile Democratic party
goes back to its dishonored maxim aud pro-
poses to rehabilitate it with its former re-
spect, if it had any. There are no such
things as Democratic maxims and Demo-
cratic principles. Insincere, and without
any fixed purpose except to go in for all the
spoils of politics, that party is never con-
sistent or trustworthy, and never can be
until its "maxims" and "time-honored
principles are given some ele-
ment of stability and truth. What
ever may be thought of the wisdom of Civ
ing the Governor control over the benevo-
lent appointments, it is not to be denied that
it was considered eminently advisable by
the Democratic majority in the Legislature
of 1879. 1t is useless to dissemble. The
voters of Indiana are not so stupid that they
do not see that this is simply break to re-
capture offices unintentionally so placed in
1879 as to be out of their reach in 1888. 1t
cannot be disguised that this is the meanest
piece of political duplicity ever attempted
on the people of Indiana. With Demo-
cratic Governor in power, the principle in
volved in the statute governing this matter
would never be questioned.

Mr.. HEFrREN, you are playing losing

and impudence will avail nothing. The
people of Indiana have not forgotten the
days Of the war-the days OF Sons of Liberty,
of Knights of the Golden Circle, of treason
able plots, OF plans to assassinate Governor
Morton and turn over the State government
to the Democratic party. Altogether too
many are yet alive who went into the army
and fought to suppress treason supported

bricks uttered something of protest recent
ly l suppose it is natural for a man who
has been leader so long to feel wounded at
seeing himself supplanted by an old follower.
Yet Hendricks, | think is considered out OF
the race, and McDonald's fidelity to him in
other years seems to justify the support he
is receiving. The personal fidelity of Nc
Donald is very greatly in his favor Almost
every man believes that Mcdonald will keep
his word and be true to his friends. That
gives him the great hold he has in our State.
The old people have known him long, and
the young people seem to have known him
almost as long, because he has very kind

Mr.. Matson also intimated that there was
also considerable dlsaffection in Indiana
about the civil-service reform bill of Pendle..
ton, and that it had not been correctly set
forth to the people.

KNOWING the weakness of the professions
relative to the question of how the benevo-
lent boards shall be appointed, certain
Democrats have thought to add strength
to their position by assailing GEN
eral Coburn. In view of the fact
that his character as man and officer
is unassailable, they seek to bring reproach
upon him by referring to the fact that he
was one of the committee appointed by the
President to visit Louisiana in 1876 in the
endeavor to see that the true results of the
election in that year might be arrived at.
General Coburn's integrity is above question,
and the men who refer to "the visiting states
knows him will testify to it, and it is not
claiming too much to say that
General Coburn is as well quail
flied for the position to which the Governor
has nominated him as is any man in the State
of Indiana. To assail this well-known citizen
is to confess that there is no tenable ground
in opposing the present plan of appointing
the boards in question. 1t is simply the
Democracy of 1879 disowned and dishonored
by the Democracy OF 1888. The Democratic
maxim of to-day gives the lie to the Demo-
cratic maxim of four years ago, and it is not
improbable that the maxim of that party a
year hence will give the lie to both
