The new rule which was adopted by
the Chicago National Republican Con,
vention which nominated Garfield. Of
recognizing district instructions to dele
gates, and which has been followed in
many instances by the determination to
elect district delegates, will make it very
difficult for Arthur to carry the New
York delegation unanimously, notwith-
standing all the power Of Federal official
patronage. Without the solid dclega-
tion from his own State President Ar.
thur 10 absolutely ruled out from the list
of probable nominees of the Republican
party, which Is remarkably lucky
thing for him. The nomination Of this
debonnair chief Of the Republican ma
chine would be followed by one of the
most memorable collapses known in oul
politics. 1t would even rival that Of
Scott, who managed to pull mp behind
the distance post, in the Presidential
election Of 1852, with four States. The
way the Halt Breeds would slaughter
Arthur, If they were to get good
chance at him, would discount all hol-
low even the completeness with which,
in 1882. they laid out cold his Secretary
Of the Treasury, Folger, as a candidate
for Governor of the Empire State. New
York might not again repeat the freal
OF giving such phenomenal Democratic
majority as she gave Governor Grover
Cleveland, but she would bury Arthur
under terrible adverse vote, and the
worst Of the business is that the rest o.
the States would initiate her exampl,
with surprising unanimity and thor
oughness.

Judge Lynch at Tombstone -
Heith, One of the BIsbee MUIR
ders, Hanged to Telegraph
Pole,

TOMBSTONE, Feb. Yesterday
morning John Heith was sentenced to
imprisonment for life for completely in
the Bisbee murder: About ten minutes
since his body was cut down from tel.
egraph pole at the edge of town and is
now at the morgue awaiting the Coro-
ners inquest. Shortly before s o'clock
about hundred men, principally miners
from the Contention and Grand Central
mines, which had been shut down, went
to the Court House, and selecting seven
of their number from Bisbee, they went
to the door leading to the Jail and raped
for admittaAce, the remainder Of the
crowd staying outside. 1t was about an
hour before breakfast is brought
to the prisoners, and the jailor, Billy
Ward, thinking il was o man with food,
| opened the door, without looking to see
who his visitors were. Instantly he was
covered with weapons, and q demand
made on him for the keys of the jail.
Seeing resistance was useless, he quickly
| gave them up, and the party proceeded
to Heith's cell and, unshackling him,
brought him to the baluster of the stairs
leading to the second story, but this
plan was abandoned, and the crowd
started for the telegraph line at the
lower edge OF the town. At the door of
the Court House they were met by Sher-
| iff Ward, who, throwing up his hands,
exclaimed, with o show of authority
stop this; you have got stop this right
here" Before he could realize what
had happened he was picked mp and
tossed down the steps and the crowd
proceeded with the prisoner down
Toughnut street until reaching the place
selected for the execution. The trip
from the Jail to the point mentioned
was made on run, Heith keeping in
the lead. Arriving al the place, Heith
pulled his handkerchief from his pocket
and said: Boys yoa are hanging
an innocent man and you will
find it out before those other men,
treferring to Dowd and pals. sentenced
to be hung on the 18th OF March, are
hung. Put this handk srchief over my
eyes. | am not afraid to die. / have
one favor to ask. that you will not mu-
tilate my body by shooting into it after
am hung" His eyes were bandaged,
a. desired, and in 3 moment his body
was dangling at the end of rope from
the cross-arm OF q telegraph pole. Heith
throughout showed great nerve, and had
it not been for absolute certainty Of his
guilt, his life would probably have been
spared. No attempt was made to modest

THERE are causes underlying the re-
msrkable revival Of the Democratic
party in Ohio which are not generally
understood, and they throw a new and
remarkable light upon the success of our
time -honored organization under a new
leadership in the Buckeye State. While
a great outcry has been raised in certain
circles at the displacement of Senator
George IL. Pendleton as the Democratic
leader-an outcry which is principally
re-echoed from RepH blican circles--that
gentleman with his school, was for
years an incubus upon his party in his
own State. During the war he posed as
an agitator against the issuance OF the
greenback, on the ground that it was
unconstitutional, and shortly after the
war he was clamorous ia his demands
that greenbacks should be issued ad
dbitam These were strikingly incon-
sistent positions; and while, in the view
oi many, he was right in the first, he
was egregiously wrong in the second
proposition. The next un-Demoeratjc
vagary developed by Mr.. Pendleton was
his bill giving members OF the President,
cabinet seats in the United States Senate

Col. GRAY, in the appointments OF tho
Childs Opera House. is aiming to sur
pass all his previous efforts, and he is
succeeding very finely. Already the
grand proportions Of his work are dis.
closing themselves, like rough dia-
mond. and the polishing process will
soon begin. We have every reason to
believe that, about the LIST of May, this
splendid Los Angeles theater will be
fittingly dedicated. Its massive outlines
are already apparent to the passer-by,
while even now glance from the stage
at the grand proportions Of the interior
is very re-assuring to the lover OF the
esthetic in art. As in all the places Of
amusement built by him, the latest in
ventions have been availed Of, and in the
perfection Of its machinery the Childs
Opera House will be absolutely without
peer on this Coast, and, we might add,
on the Atlantic Coast, as well. Calcu.
lated to seat fifteen hundred people, there
will not be a single spectator in this no
BILE building who will not have an unin
terruf ted view of stage and orchestra.
The scaling of the seats both in audit.
orium and gallery has been so exactly
planned that there will be no need of
craning the neck or seeking convenient
angles to enable every one to see all
parts of tho house and all portions of the
stage at ease. In addition, the seats
are wide and comfortable and will be
splendidly upholstered, The latest
novelty in providing convenience of
exit is the fixed seat to which is attach
ed a folding double, the latter being
rolled up and affording additional
channels OF exit in addition to those
provided by the numerous aisles. We
promise ourselves much pleasure, at q
later date, in giving our readers de.
tailed description OF the improved mod.
ern appliances, which will make the
stage business OF the new opera house
run as smoothly as well oiled wheels.
