night on Saturday night 300 or 400
masked men, heavily armed, appeared
at Snake Hollow for the purpose
of seeking revenge for the many insults thrust
upon them since the strike began. Their appear
ance was the signal for firing from the guards,
which was promptly and vigorously re-
turned by the attacking party Of
miners. The firing was very brisk for few
minutes. When the smoke cleared away it was
found that man named O.Hara, from Logan,
who was acting as captain of the Snake Hollow
guards, was lying dead with several
bullet holes in his body, and that two Other
guards had received slight flesh wounds. 1t is
not known whether any of the miners
we're wounded. None were left on
the field. 1t is said the attacking
party had ropes with which to hang the black
legs who have been repeatedly warned to de
sist from working and, that they had actually
placed ropes round the necks of two men

PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.
Mr.. Anthony's Ill Health May Leas
Him to Decline.

Requests were sent last night to all repub-
lican senators to be in their places at II
O'Clock today. 1t was proposed at that time
to elect Senator Anthony president pro
tenn, but objection being made, it was determ-
ined by the republicans to hold caucus after
adjournment today. Probably Mr.. Anthony
will decline, on the ground of i'll health.
Immediately after adjournment OF the SEN
ate a caucus OF the republicans was held to
consider the expediency of proceeding to the
election of president pro TEN of the Senate.
Senator Anthony who was the first choice of
the last meeting an would then have been
nominated had his health been better was
not present. His friends reported that he
was gaining in health, but had doubts of
the advisabllity of his undertaking the duty
of the position. After some discussion
committee was appointed to confer with him
on the subject and further action postponed.
No other topic was considered by the caucus.

The theory of the poisoning is that w hat

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTES.
Cariisie's Nominations for Regents Gen.
orally Approved.

The first nomination made by Speaker
Calsle, the three regents of the Smithsonian
Institute, met with general approval so far as
personal fitness of the nomination is con-
cerned. Territorially they divide the honors
fairly between the Western, Eastern and
Middle States. Singleton is from Mississippi,
Wilson from West Virginia and Phelps
from New j, rsey- The first two are demo-
Gratis and the last republican. The only
criticism the appointments provoke is to re-
vive the talk which last spring, found ex-
preston in the newspapers over the para

Necessity of Popular Tickets.

This Is not a year in which republicans
can afford TO try experiments or make
risky moves at the Spring elections
II these must be attempted. they should
be put of until more suitable time than
the year of the Presidential election
One OF the chief essentials in towns and
cities where parties are pretty evenly d.
vided in numbers, and where sharp con-
tests are inevitable a; the polls. is the Sc
lection of candidates by the republicans,
who are strong and popular men, having
the confidence and respect OF the commu-
mites in which they reside. A popular
ticket Is great help IN any election. and
more especially in the Spring elections.
where home government Is in issue and
every candidate il personally and well
known To the voters. An unpopular tick
ct 10 a heavy drag upon the party. an
obstacle to present success. and very
often the cause of future diseord
and disaster. In towns and cities where
the republicans have large majorities. IN
popular candidates may succeed in being
elected; but in other places. where the
republican majority is small. such candi-
dates sink themselves and party in defeat.
Unpopular candidates may be excellent
citizens, but the TACT that they are not pop
ular. whatever the cause may be. should
be sufficient reason tor not placing their
names upon tickets In close contests.
II should be borne in mind by republi-
cans. when selecting their tickets for
town and city officers. that their party Is
composed very largely Of the beat classes
of our citizens. who demand the selection
OF Candidates for whom they can vote
without tossing their selfrespect- Nearly
all ministers OF the gospel. all protestant
church members. the great bulk Of the
temperance men OF the State. leading bush
ness men. teachers. professors in our
colleges, intelligent farmers, me-
chanics and laborers. are found in
the republican party. Such a con-
stituency IL an honorable one.and must be
treated with due consideration in the Sc
lection of men who are to he looked up
TO a. officers Of towns and cities. They
think for themselves. No other men own
their votes. They have convictions. They
are the life and strength OF the republic
can party. They ought always to be
present at caucuses and conventions to as
sist in making up the ticket. but whether
present or absent republican party leaders
cannot afford TO overlook them in politi-
cal affairs.
We advise our friends. therefore, to
take special pains in making up their
tickets for town and city officers to select
the best, strongest. most available and
most tit men for candidates. There should
be caution and thoroughness in the survey
of men and circumstances, and courage
and wisdom in giving prominence to such
tickets n will bring out n united and vic
torious vote ut the ballot-box.

The Murder Charge Investigation.

The New Age is Hat. dull. iusipid this

he would be charged with some other
atroci,y this week in its columns. possibly

which differs very widely from the CORY
article of the New Age upon that subject.
There is to be An investigation Of the
charges made by the New Age, and that

character of the paper this week. Now
1t must appear and present facts if it has
any to the board of aldermen. and facts
that will 80 to sustain its charges against
City Marshal White are very scarce
about the New Age establishment
There is one fact on the other
side for Ex-Governor Plaisted to
ruminate over before the investigation takes
place. There was coroner's inquest. at
Gardiner. over the body of the tramp who
died there. The Gardiner Journal. whose
editor was one Of the Jury, says:
Coroner Libby was summoned, and came
down on the forenoon tram. lie empanelled

The report in the Gardiner Reporter
also agrees in substance with the above.
