LYNCHING OF THE MURDERER
IA CROSSE, October l6th.-At 1870 ;he officers
could no longer restrain the crowd who with
beams battered in the doors and brought out
the murderer, \ number of men were soon
climbing to the branches of the trees. and in u
man sitting on the first strong limb was quickly
attached and everything made ready for
the execution. AZ this point of the proceedings
there was pause. Among the leaders were
some who wanted the murderer 10 make a
statement, while Others more impetuouS,
urged immediate FCtion. Tho murderer
declined to say anything, except that he
was the man who shot Burton. At this juncture
a cry went round of " Pull him up" " :. Hang
him " Don't Let HIM live a minute longer
1t was understood that the Light Guard company

dered ont to charge the mob, and there was AN
, impression that the execution would be prevent
ed. No rally OF the guard was made whatever.
| The mob seized the rope and made a
strong pull, but the rutliau freed his hands
and the rope broke before he was
raised from the ground. In less than FIVE
minutes a new rope was thrown over the heads
of the crowd and fell within Il few feet of the
| eNecutioner. This was adjusted, the murder

"There's Silver Lining to Every Cloud"
| WAsHISGToN October 16th.-The decrease in
1 the Republican majority in Ohio, reported to-
| day, while it has served 10, in measure re-
/ vive the dropping spirits of the Democrats has
not diminished in the least the enthusiasm of
/ the Republicans. Indeed most of the promi-
nent Republican politicians in this city say they
| are much better satisfied with the figures given
/ to-day than with those of yesterday. a majority
of lO,0OO, or even of 1000 they say is sufficient
| to give the Republicans Il decided advantage in
| November, and the effect ON the other States
| Will be the same whether the majority Is QUO
| or 2j,0O' While on the other hand, a ma
| jority rs large us that reported yesterday
might endangerthe Republican success through
| over-coniidencc. Commissioner Dudley says
that the only effect of the reduced majority will
| be to make the fight more intense. Rumors
| were in circulation about town to-day that an
attempt would be made by the Democratic
State Canvassing Board to count the Republic
cans out, but the rumor was given very little
credence. The Republicans point toone feature
of the result-the defeat of ilurd in an over
Whelmingly Democratic district, and the eec-
tion of Mckinley by a large majority in close
district-as showing, more clearly than any
thing else, that in spite OF the unvillingness of
the Democrats TO make n tariff issue in this
fight the people nre satisfied that II is the prin-
cipal issue between the two parties and are
tlocking To the side OF protection This gives
the Republicans renewed confidence, aud they
argue that II the same feeling eXiStS-and
they assert that it does-in the manufact-
uring States of the East, nothing can
prevent their carrying New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut. Judge Lawrence, First Con
troller of the Treasury, returned from Ohio to-
day. He thinks a majority of 10000 would have
II very marked moral effect upon New York and
Indiana. If the majority went below that, and
as low as 800, as il was rumorcd on the streets
that it would, the moral effect would not be so
great, he thought, but still it would be n Repub-
lican victory. Even the defeat of Robinson he
did not think could hurt Blaine. Let the result
now be as disastrous as 1t might, Blaine he
thought would certainly carry Ohio in Noyem-
Der by from 1900 to COCO, and under any cir
cumstanceS he thought Indiana was us sure TO
give its electoral vote for Blaine as WIS Maine.
