REPUBLICAN,.
DEMOCRATIC.

The total electoral Vote is 401, of
which 2Ol are necessary to elect. Class
ing the States as they voted at the
last election, the Democrats have
247 and the Republicans l54. but the
majority would be reversed to 2l3 Re-
publican and lSS Democratic by taking
the fairly debatable States of New
York and Ohio out of the Democratic
column.
It's evident now that Ohio and New
York will be the centres of the great
contest of next year. The Republicans
must carry both of these to win, as the
Democrats, If holding their otLer
States, could spare either Ohio or New
York and elect their President. Ohio
is naturally d Republican State with
the party united, and New York Is
as naturally a Democratic State with
the Democracy harmonious. Ohio is
the only State that holds preliminary
election in October, ard as the Repub-
licans must carry it in October to have
fighting chance for the Presidency,
that battle will doubtless be one of the
most desperate of modern times.
The two parties are now facing each
other for the great conflict, with nearly
even chances of success. They are
both on trial, the Republicans with
the President and the Senate and the
Democrats with the House, and the
party that serves the country best will
best serve itself in tie election of the
next President. Times.

Twenty-Three Days Under a Hay

LA CROSSE, Wis, December 10.-Some
boys playing about Il haystack near this
city to-day found under it II man in Il
horrible condition Of emaciaton. Help
was secured and the poor wretch eX-
tricated. He was almost dead and was
barely able to speak in whisper. He
said his name was Christian Anderson;
that he craWled under the haystack on
the night of November 18th to keep
warm and that the stack cayed in upon
him. He struggled hard, but was unable
to extract himself. lie cried out, but no
one heard him. He was sent TO the
County Hospital, apparently in dying
condition. He was so weak that he
could give only disjointed fragments of
his horrible story. 1t is stated that
several loads of hay have lately been re-
moved from the stack which buried
him, but he was probably too weak to
make the teamsters hear him or was
unconscious at such times.

A BUTLER SENSATION.
T'ie Governor Declines to Approve the Be-
nevolent Institutions Appropriation Bill.

BosToN, March IA sensation was created
in the Legislature to-day by message from
Governor Butler vetong the bill making ap-
propriations for the expenses of the various
charitable and reformatorv institutions. He
says it contains appropriations for distinct
purposes, some of which are Objectionable,
others are not, and are but continuation of
what he says is a vicious practice of uniting
in one bill different appropriations for en-
tirely diverse objects, He quotes this method
as applied to congressional appropriations,
where it is great bar to satisfactory legisla-
ton. Most of the appropriations in the
bill, he says are for the payment of
salaries, expenses and the cost of
supervision of the State almshouse,
work-house, primary schools and reform
schools, and he estimates the appropriation
for salaries at SO per cent. of the amount to
be expended for the maintenance of these in
stitutions Salaries have been increased,
rather than diminished. He is convinced
that the Commonwealth employs more Off
GERS and agents than are necessary to do its
business, and that the State institutions are
managed with unnecessary extravaganza. He
declines to be responsible for such bill, and
will not even allow it to become a law with
out his approval as he might. The plea that
all appropriations are audited and supervised
by the State Auditor as protection against
robbery, is not correct; as his business is but
to examine the arithmetical features of these
accounts rather than to go behind them and
ascertain if honesty characterizes the trans
actions they represent
The Governor returns the bill unapproved
asking the Legislature to pass another bill,
cutting off large amounts of the salaries, and
placing proper checks upon the expenditures
of mQley, so it can be known how it has
been spent and where it has gone.

client never saw; he will so swear. The
books Rerdell said he got from New York l
will prove he never got I will prove my
client never saw or even heard OF these
books before the beginning of these cares.
He may have kept some private account
books.
The Court meant the stub books.
Mr.. Ingersoll-They had nothing to do
with the $500 entry against Jones" When
it comes to that will prove there were no
such stub books, and If allowed l will prove
that no check ever existed such as described
by Rerdell.
The court said it could not admit second
ary evidence upon pledge to show hereafter
that there was no primary evidence.
Mr.. Ingersoll inquired how they could pro-
ceed otherwise when the books did not exist.
The court said that it had never been reg
ularly shown.
Mr.. Ingersoll expressed his abiding conf
dence in his ability to show the falsity of
Rerdell's evidence.
Mr.. Merrick contested the position taken
by Mr.. Ingersoll. He said he had sedulous-
ly endeavored, as professional gentleman, to
restrain witnesses from dragging in the
names of outside persons and when that had
been done he had endeavored to have
all such mention excluded. He
asked why the defence did not
put Brady on the stand to swear he did not
get the money. He had proved Brady to be
y
refrained from proving Turner to be Jones'"
Messrs. Carpenter and Wilson were on their
feet at this point, making earnest appeals to
the court to arrest Merricks remarks
Finally, securing the attention of the court,
Mr. Carpenter bitterly stigmatized Mr.. Mer-
ricks statements regarding a defendant
taking the stand as unprofessional and lille
gal
The court did not see wherein it was lille
gal. II must first appear that the defendant
had not gone on the stand, and that could
not be until the close of the case.
Mr.. Wilson entered a formal objection.
and charged Mr. Merrick with ulterior mo-
tives in making his remarks.
Mr.. Merrick denied any such motives. He
acknowledged that in the first trial he had
done what he could to force them but there
was now no necessity. He proceeded to ex
plain his remarks, but the court said it could
not allow him to engrave the impression
created by his previous remarks deeper in
his explanation.
Mr.. Merrick replied that he would stop
Immediately. The court reserved its de-
cision until after recess.
Judge Wylie decided that the offered evil
dence was not competent. The defense
noted an exception, and the examination
was resumed.
Mr.. Wilson offered to prove that Brady re-
fused to grant the request of a number of
petitioners for a second and further expedi-
tion upon the Redding-Alturas route The
prosecution objected, but the court decided
to allow the inquiry and the witness said
that after the route had been expedited,
number of petitions had been received re-
questng further expedition, which request
had been refused by Brady.
On motion of Mr. Davidge, the statements
made by Rerdell to MacVeagh and James
were stricken from the record, the prosecu-
tion offering no objection.

The matter Of healthful and agreeable
climate. The summers are not hot
and the winters are not cold. For
weeks our Colorado exchanges have
been talking of shutting down their
mines, and note the fact of the pros
peotors going into winter quarters,
while we revel in perpetual sunshine.
Wednesday was the first intimaLion
we have had of winter and when our
worst snow storms come they find rest
upon our hills but for a few hours,
being hurried off by u warm and al
most perpetual sunshine. Stockmen
speak OF our ranges, as superior and
make no calculation on loss from
storms or severe weather. We pity the
stockmen of Kansas and Nebraska
who labor six months'Iin the year to
make feed for their stock and then la
Dor another Six months IN furs and seal
skin 0vercoats and half a dozen under
shirts, to feed out what they sweat the
tirst six months to raise. 1t makes lis
shudder to think of the cold winter
wind storms of the prairies of Kansas,
Nebraska Illinois and Iowa.

der in the first degree, for the murder

hanged by the neck until death do us
part" on the 4th day of January. His
lawyers gave notice of an appeal, but
that is expected to amount to nothing,
Fowler received his sentence with com
posure. The jury in the case was ma
l without exception, The Sun said
that two of the jurymen knew the
name Of the chief executive of the ma
zion and that five could write their own
names, but ignorant or intelligent thew
did their duty in this case and praise
shouJd be accorded them. Socorro's
committee of safety also distinguished
itself. Immediately upon his arrest the
prisoner was given into their hands by
the governor, and Col. Eaton and Cant.
Sewers as all the members as well have
untlring In their vigilence to see the
law INDICATED. The committee has
by this action shown that justice not
blood is its desire. The moral effect on
Socorro by the circumstances and re.
suit OF the Fowler trial cannot fail to
be excellent.

debt is not a pubic blessing. and that
any measure increasing the national
debt for the purpose of national bank
ing or on any other account meets the
disapprobation Of this body and should

national banks are not bad institutions
to have under favorable conditions but
now when the whirligig of time has
superannuated them as it were, it is
much better to inter them at once than
to have them lingering along on a PEN

People who have any disposition to
use their presumption rights on public
lands cannot be in too great haste in
being about it. Bills have been intro.
duced by several parties in both houses
Of congress to provide for the aboli-
ton of the presumption and timber
culture acts, permitting only the home
stead law to stand, but allowing final
proof to be made three years from date
of entry. The interest which this sub.
ject seems to excite among legislators
makes 1t reasonably certain that a bill
of this kind in some form will pass and
the presumption right thereby be done
away with.

The national bank system is threat
ened with final dissolution. Teller
IN his recent communication to con.
gress advocated t~he:abolition of the
income tax and the reduction of GER
tam tariffs in order that the public IN

IN case this isn't done it will soon he
necessary to call in $4,000. 900 worth of
bonds, which act will seriously cripple
the national banking system. This an,
pears to be a very troublesome state of
affairs, but Dan VOORHEES, finds a very
easy way to manage 1t. as explained by
