A Man That Can Carry New York.

Madison Courier.
While Indiana cannot say to the other States:
You must take the candidate from our State to
insure success in the State" she can say to New
York and to the rest of the Union that we have
a man who would unite all factions in
New York, and be satisfactory to
every class Of every State, and render
success doubly sure in Indiana; a man who as a
citizen, a soldier and a statesman has com
manded the respect and admiration of all, and
who, as a la Eyer, has won a place among the
first of his profession. Three years ago BenJa-
min Harrison entered the United States Senate
as a senator from Indiana without previous leg
islative experience. He was then known as a
great lawyer and a man of commanding
intellect. To-day, after three years of service as
a senator, his name is mentioned and he is
classed with those old senators who have shaped
legislation for two decades. Not only would be
be satisfactory to all factions of the Republican
party, but his record is so clean and his life SO
pure that they would plead like angels trumpet
tongued' in his behalf. The calcium light and
microscope of Democratic search would fail to
find q SPOT or flaw.

In the A. NJ. E.. General Conference. to-day,
Bishop Payne delivered an interesting address
on reconstruction and the redemption of Africa.
He said the slave trade in Central Africa still

Rev. I. H. jackson read a fraternal letter
from the NJ. Z. Church.
Rev. w. b. Derrick said it was time to show
the Methodist Episcopal Church that if it did not

are admitted to the conferences of the NJ. e.

THE LAWS EXTREME PENALTY.
Execution of Horn and Gribben at Ashland,
0hiO-An Enormous Crowd Present.

ASHLAND, O., May 16.-Geo. Andrew Horn
and VIM. Henry G1ibben, aged twenty-four and
t~wenty-nine, were hanged here to-day for the
murder of Harry Williams, on March Is, last
year. All three were employed in a saw-mill at
Polk, and the night before went to West Salem,
sever miles distant, for their pay. They became
intoxicated, and quarreled. A feud had existed
for some time between Horn and Williams. Late
at night they returned to Polk, Williams walk
ing with his. brother-inlaw, Tom McAvoy, and
the Others going by freight train Horn and
Gribben waited at Polk for Williams to come on.
Meeting him, Horn threw a heavy stone, knocked
Williams down and brained him with vicious
blows with an AK. Gribben was convicted as an
accessory.
1t was estimated that 10, 900 people were col
lected here. 1t was feared a mob would tear
down the enclosure about the scaffold in order
to witness the execution. Nine companies OF
mil tia surrounded the jail and kept the mob
back. The noisy demonstration without
fastened the execution, At five minutes past
10 o'clock the prisoners were led to the seaffolds
and without unnecessary delay, were bound and
the trap sprung, At 1921 they were dead. The
military conveyed the news to the outside crowd,
which howled with exultation, mingled with dis
appointment because the hanging was not pub
lie. The necks of both men were broken.
Horn arose at half past 4 this morning, and
called Gribben at l. Four clergymen called
at 9 O'Clock and prayed with the prisoners,
who had previously refused religious council but
to-day they were repentant and la~chrymose.
Gribben had an affectionate parting from his
wife and babe last night. The the infant is one
year old to-day. On the scaffold Horn was
courageous, and said: 81 want to say to you,
boys, that I am as innocent of the crime as you
fellows, but yet l suffer and die here to-day"
Gribben was limp, and would have fallen on the
gallows had he not been supported.
