An E1ectiOneering Lie.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 15.-Immedi-
ately following the announcement of
the nomination of ex-senator Hen
bricks at Chicago, statements were
sent from the city by a special cor
respondent in which the wife of the
ex- Senator was alleged to have
spoken unexpectedly of Governor
Cleveland, and to have
said Mr.. Hendricks vas placed on
the ticket for the purprse of giving it
additional strength. Governor Hen
bricks when spoken to on the subject
stated emphatically the alleged lam
guage was not used by Mrs. Hen
bricks, and added that there was no
truth whatever in that portion of the
special dispatches purporting to be a
of her Words.

When the last Congress adjourned
there was a revolt even amongst
Republicans as to whether or not to
tender the customary thanks to the
speaker of thu House Of Congress.
No such feeling existed this year.
A Republican was the spokesman
and the expression no less sincere
than merited and unanimous. But
Carlisle is not q Keifer.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 10
At ten o'clock last night Judge
Guthrie held special session of court
and sentenced Charles Spurlock, a
member of the Hill boys Jesse James
gang,) who murdered Alvin Woods
and shot his father, Jack Woods,
near st. Adams, in this county, in
the latter part of April. Spurlock is
to hang October l7th. His only re-
quest when sentence was pronounced
was to be baptised. Notwithstanding
his confession to murder in the first
degree, when he "a brought out for
trial he said last night tnat he did so
in fear of a mob, and denies eyer hav.
ing killed any one.
VIM. Coleman, (colored) who shot
and killed Fenton Hill (coIored) last
October, was sentenced by the saLle
J Judge to be hanged the same day us
1t has been many years
since there was a legal hanging here.

q canvass for the presidency. The
General received the nomination
from two organizations and then
went to the democratic convention
as the leader of the Massachusetts,
delegation and served on the COM

It would seem that a due regard for
consistency and for the proprieties of
his position would have deferred
General Butler from entering a DEM
ocratic convention, but after entering
it a. a delegate and participating in
its deliberations, it would further
seem that he should yield his sup
port to its nominees. But politicians
