On the other hand, the republican
total of certain states is 100, or Il less
than majority. They must carry,
therefore, II out of the lis doubtful
electoral votes. If they got all of them
but New York 36, and Indiana, 10.

From the figures it is evident that
the democratic chances for success are
very encouraging. They start for the
doubtful states with a certain electoral
vote of twenty-three more than their
opponents. They have only to gain
forty-eight votes to win, while the re-
publlcans must have seventy-one. The
figures are all in favor of The demo
Gratis. This calculation is based on the
theory that the certain republican
states are: Connecticut, 6; Colorado, 3;
%; Iowa, ID; Kansas, 8;
Maine, 6; Massachusetts, ID; Mime
sofa, Z; Nebraska, 5; New. Hampshire,
4; Oregon, 3; Pennsylvania, 80; Rhode
Island, 4; Vermont, 4. OF these Con
necticut, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas
and Oregon are elaine to be doubt
fal by sanguine democrats, and Massa-
but for Buffers candidacy,
would probably be democratic, but all
are down as republican.

appearance in the Kings county court

desired to intercede for Ella, who
pleaded guilty last Saturday to an in

was a thief and had been twice IN the
penitentiary. at may be different
with Connecticut thieves" said Judge
Moore, with severity OF tone and a
stern look at the farmer from the
Nutmeg state; "but l advise you,
young man, not to marry notorious
Brooklyn thief unless you want to
get into trouble. Is there not one
decent girl in Connecticut who will
marry you? Ii you have any friends
who care for you I advise them to
take charge of you and put some sense
in your head. l certainly VIII not
help you or any one else to marry
such girl. AT all events it will be
some time before anybody will have
a chance to marry her"
The girl will be arraigned for SEN

The Arrested Party Bl ought to Austin.
Mr.. G. p. Wiley, deputy sheriff of
Lee county, arrived Thursday morn
ing with Prayers, the man who shot
DR.. Mcneil last Saturday night, a full
account of which has already been
given in THE STATESMAN. Preyers
has been hunted by the citizens Of Lee
county since the time of the shooting,
oftentimes, as he states, at very close
range, but it remained for Deputy
Sheriff Wiley to take him in, which
was done within two and a half miles
from the scene of the shooting, on
"Wednesday morning. When captur-
ed the prisoner was in an almost ut
terly nude condition from having
his clothing torn from him in
the effort to elude, his pur-
suers by taking to the brush.
He was not only nearly naked but
hungry, having, according to his state
ment, not eaten mouthful OF food
from Saturday noon until after his
capture Wednesday evening. AS
soon as it was known that he had been
captured the citizens began to assem-
BILE with the avowed intention of
stringing him up to limb. Mr.. Will
ley being informed of this fact left
the prisoner in charge of his son and
went out to meet the outraged citizens,
OF whom there were near seventy,
with, as they said, several precincts
yet to hear from. Mr.. Wiley succeeded
by many fair promises, which were
probably better broken than kept, in
allaying the mob and by some strategy
known only to those familiar with the
law, got away on the next train for
Austin with his prisoner. Had Mr..
Wiley lodged the prisoner in any Jail
within reasonable distance of the
mob there is no doubt as to the result
A jury probably would not have been
necessary.
