WASHINGTON, May 23.-Mr. InRersolI
resumed his speech In the Star Route

remarks he said Mr.. Bliss had denounced
it as an impudent proceeding for Dorsey

impudent when he came to him during

about to remove two Cabinet officers on

WHY MRS. SEYMOUR DIED.

CLEVELAND, o., May 23.-The Coroner's
Inquest over the remains of Mrs. G.. W..
Seymour, who was married on her death
bed, was concluded tonight. The YER
dict was THAT deceased came to her death
from the result Of an abortion produced
through the agency of Charles w. Sew
mour, and Mrs L. NJ. Webster. The
most important witness was Mr.. j. G..
Wersman, Mrs. SeymOur's brother in
law. After stating how he came to find
his wife's sister in Mrs. Webster's house
on Garden street, he said that Julia Sew
mOur told him: II am very sick girl. I
have suffered martyrdom," and then she
confessed to him that an abortion had
been performed on her by Mrs. Webster.
She swore him to secrecy until after her
death, which she hourly expected.

THE Rep. should have Councilman
Wyant demand an Investigation as to
the Baughman count; and if the tickets
are preserved and not tampered with,
have them re-examined. We have no
wish to do Mr.. Wyant injustice. But
when seven members of Council declare
on honor they did not vote for Baugh-
man, the query is where Mr.. Wyant
found the eight votes, as the Council
has but fourteen members In all.
The fact is, no deliberative body should
vote by ballot. 1t Is cOwardly. Con-
gTess never does it. No branch Of any
Legislature ever does. Why should a

sentative Of body of people living

ayes and noes.
But the law requires the Mayor to ap-
point the police, subject only to confr-
nation by the Council The Mayor has
no right under the law to send in more
names to the Council than the actual
number required, and If any of these are
rejected, then appoint others In their
stead, and so on till the force is full.
This is the legal way, and no other way
is strictly legal. In fact, the Council
should refuse to act in the premises un-
til this is done. The law is thus fol-
lowed in other towns, generally. Why
not in Cantonp The practice followed
was In vogue before Mayor Piero came
in. He is Just the man to change the
contemplate practice next time.
