This is going to be a lively campaign.
The republican candidates must divert
the popular consideration from the nu-
merOus murky attachments to the rec
ord Of their tickets head, Mr.. lingo
Blaine. as well as from a point or two
perhaps in this history of their tickets
tail, Jack Logan. The means on which
they most rely to do this talk. There
will be all sorts of talk. and much of it {;
lots of bluster and brag, of whoops and
hullabaloo and eagle screams from Blaine,
and howls and yells, perhaps both Yam
kee and rebel. from Logan. The air
will full of the revolutions and fights
of t. past and the possible and probable
scrln.mages of the future: and the
ground will be strewn with the frag-
ments of all the old Fourth of July ora
tions that have been brought out again
to help give tone to the canvass, and
have failed to stand the strain. Both
the first and second republican candidate
will talk from end to end of the cam
paign, and the talk will be full of gush
and expectation, and with little to say
about the past. The past can't be help

But the only speeches that will be at

JOAQUIN Miller on the Capital City.

Joaquin Miller says that Washington,
from his cabin on Meridian hill, remlncs
him of but one city in the world, and
that is Damascus. 1t ought to be known
for it is the fact that in three, possibly
four, important particulars the American
capital surpasses every capital in the
world. In beauty of site or situation, in
breadth and disposition of streets, in gov
ernment buildings and in climate it IS
equaled by no European capital. And
while it is better located. better laid out,
better provided with great structures
adapted for public uses. and has more
delightful average temperature than
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome or COnstan-
tinOple; it las also better drives than any
of these cities by reason of its wider and
better paved and less crowded avenues.

OF the planet have 300 miles of noble

Then Monsignor Capel says that Wash

able society than he has met mith in all
his travels. In view of all these facts,
what a marvellous city of ease-living and
life-enjoying this capital will be a half
century hence. The generation of to-
day will not see it grow to its full matu-

Wilsonburg to the place of meet
ing. 1t was church day with our

Who aided me very much in my

On Saturday night a fair sized
audience assembled and listened to
the address.
A local club was formed. The
audience by vote asked me to
preach a temperance sermon on
Sunday morning. This I did to a
large audience The service was Ger.
tainly interesting.
At 3 p. M, the people came out
again, seemingly as hungry as ever
and another good meeting was the
result. Mr.. Ogden made me very
welcome to dinner.

Will Stand Trial.

An expectant crowd gathered In the
court room on March 28th to hear
Justice Hunts decision in the case of
Jud Crouch and Dan Holcoinb. After
some delay in reading the testimony OF
witnesses Squire Hunt admonished the
assembly against any demonstrations at
the conclusion of his decision, when he
read. in n clear, round voice, his opinion
as follows:
The People vs.. Daniel y. Holcomb and Judd
ID. Crouch, before Horace Hunt, j. P.
In this case the defendants are charged with
the murder of Jacob ID. Crouch, the father OF
one of the defendants, and OF the late wife OF
the ether. A very full and practical eIamina.
ton In regard to the truthfulness OF the charge
has been had before me. A vast amount OF
testimony In the case has been taken. | will
not here attempt any analysis OF the testimony
or n axe special reference to any OF the mate
ri NJ points contained In IL; but will merely say
that while much OF It has SO slight a bearing
upon the case as To be but little more than the
chaff In which the kernels are concealed, while
q portion of It is OF a contradictory rather than
explanatory character, while some OF II Ii
utterly Enthusiastically or entitled to hut very
slight credit, still find enough OF reliable
and material nature TO produce In my mind a
clear conviction OF my duty In the premises
In the determination OF the case by me but
two questions are represented for my consid-
Grafton: First, has the offepse charged been
committed; and, second, IL there probable cause
to believe the defendants may be guilty thereof.
In reaching conclusion Il is not for me to say
the defendants are guilty beyond reasonable
doubt, or that they are not guilty. THIS is
the proper province of jury OF twelve
good men and true, after hearing
and Weighing all the iegd cyl
dence in the case, as the same shall be admit
ted and eKpounded to them by an upright
Judge learned In the law.
The first question above stated unhappily Is
established beyond all doubt. In regard TO the
second question would say that while do not
consider the evidence as by any means con-
elusive OF the defendants guilt, 1t yet points
against them with such force as TO forbid q
dismissal of the case here without an utter
disregard OF my clear convictions OF duty both
TO the public and to the defendants.
must hold lthe defendants to trial at the
Circuit Court and remand them TO the jail OF
