CHICAGO, November 3, 1884.
The day before the battle shows
the great Republican columns formid-
ably arrayed, and sanguine of victory,
while the Democratic forces falter,
apprehensive of defeat.
Yesterday Chairman Barnum, of
the Democratic National Committee,
teIegraphed the Democratic State
Central Committee of Ohio as follows:
"After having looked over the entire
ground that will be contested with
any hope of success, we have decided
that the main fight must be made in
New York and Ohio. We will fur
nish you all the necessary means to
insure full vote and do all that is
necessary to secure Ohio's electoral
vote for Cleveland. With Ohio we
will be victorious. Connecticut and
New Jersey are against US, Indiana is
very doubtful"
The Sheriff of Cincinnati has made
requisition on the Governor for troops
to guard the polls on election day.
The betting at ali the financial and
commercial centers is now two to one
in favor of Blaine.
The bets on New York State are
even, both parties admitting it doubt
full.
Tom Murphy, ex.Collector Of the
Port, has wagered $4,000 that the
State will 60 Republican.
Blaine is journeying to Boston to-
day. The widest enthusiasm is man.
ifestcd toward him en- route. He will
receive a monster ovation at the hub
to-night-after which he will ride all
night to get home to vote. He is con-
tident Of success.
Cleveland will go to Buffalo to-
night, where he will vote and return
to Albany tomorrow afternoon.

TIE PLEA or INSANITY.

The difficulty of securing satisfactory verdicts
in capital cases where the plea of insanity has
been raised is 50 great that it seems necessary
to have recourse to some change in the prac-
ticc. Under the existing rules of evidence in
most of the States medical testimony is placed
at a disadvantage. Usually the medical expert
has to depend altogether upon two sources of
information, namely, a personal examination of
the defendant and such hypothetical pres
entation of the case as the counsel may con-
st1uct. Formerly the expert was allowed to
avail himself of the whole of the evidence pre-
scented, and that gave him "A much better fOun-
dation for Judgment. For in order TO form a
correct opinion upon an alleged case of insanity
it is necessary not only to possess knowledge of
the present condition Of the subject, but the
facts concerning both the entire past life and
the ancestry of the person should be before the
expert. The practice of putting hypothetical
cases to medical witnesses is by no means
good one, moreover The counsel on either side
have special theories to maintain, and they
naturally endeavor so 10 frame their hypothesis
that the answers TO their questions will make
for their theory. And since il is not difficult for
a shrewd lawyer in framing hypothetical case
10 distort or conceal the actual facts, it has
sometimes happened that experts have been
thus led to make apparently contradictory state
ments to the confusion of the jury and the dis
credit of medical testimony. Indeed, it may be
said that so long a. counsel are allowed virtu
ally to control the tendencies if not the sub
stance of expert testimony in such cases. it will
be impossible for the courts to derive from
Science the full advantage of her researches in
alicnism.
No doubt the conclusions of alienists are not
always cOncOrdant, and this fact has done much
to bring their evidence into disrepute. In the
present state of psychological knowledge, how
ever, il is useless TO look for complete harmony,
though we think il may be said thu all experts
are agreed on the physical character of in
sanity, and that agreement of itself constitutes
very important gain. The most rational
method of determining pleas Of insanity would
be by empaneling jury of experts to pass upon
the medical question No ordinary jury can be
competent to- resolve such matter with the
necessary intelligence, and experience proves
this conclusively. A jury of experts would not
be confused and embarrassed by the mixture of
sentimental and pathological considerations
which prove such stumbling blocks to the COM
mon jury. They would have TO pass upon mat
tiers entirely within the region of their pro-
fessional knowledge, and it may be presumed
that their verdict would at least be defensible
upon rational grounds. If, however, that
method is unattainable, the medical witnesses
should not be so hedged in by restraints and eX-
illusions as they are at present. The existing

STIMULATING COMMERCE.

Mr.. Dingley, of Maine, has consulted the in
terests and wishes of many besides hisow CON
stituents in proposing bill to remove burdens
from American shipping.i 1t is understood that
the bill emb0dies the opinions of the Special
Committee Oh Shipping, from which it is hoped
that an early report will be made. The sec
tons which will probably attract most attention
are the fourth, which abolishes consular fees,
and the sixth, which abolishes the hospital tax,
providing that the Government shall bear the
expenses of seamen in hospital; the fifth, which
changes the tonnage tax from thirty cents per
ton yearly to three cents per ton for each entry
for vessels trading with any port of North
