Prof Francis Wayland in a paper read be-
fore the National Prison Association related
the trial of a case of manslaughter in the
first degree, in which the jury was selected in
thirty-five minutes, the evidence for the pros
ecution put in in three hours, the evidence
for the defence in about the same time, the
arguments made in less time and the whole
case concluded and verdict rendered inside
of fourteen hours. There was woman in
the case and plenty of scandal, but none of it
got into the newspapers, for before piece
of evidence was offered that involved indie
cent disclosures the court room was cleared
and the evidence heard in private. This
remarkable trial took place in Honolulu.
Had the Professor waited a few days he
might have heightened the effect of this trial
by contrasting it with a trial now going on
in Boston in which all the disgusting evil
dence is given in the court room thronged
with people and every morning served up in
the newspapers for the delectation of that
part Of the public who can't get into the
court room but want to-

the factional contests which have crippled
them in the past have disappeared. The rec
ord of the Democratic candidate, on the
other hand. is not creditable one, and he
can count on no support outside OF ms party.
The bitter warfare between Tammany and
the County Democracy bodies no good to his
cause. He is an adept, however, In all the
arts of the politician, and nothing that trad
ing and promising can do to bring him votes
will be left undone. We think he will be
beaten, but not so easily as some of our con-
temporaries appear to imagine.

It is to be hoped that the rascals who per-
petrated the frauds unearthed in Columbus
win be discovered, and that their residence
for some time to come will be in the peniten-
tiary. But the men who instigated these
frauds are really more deserving of punish
ment than the men who actually
committed them, and until these men
are reached and made to feel the
strong arm of the law little will have
been accomplished towards preventing such
occurrences in the future. The McLeans,
and the McLaughlins, and the McDonalds,
and the Germans, of the Democracy, are the
men really at the bottom of the frauds on
the ballot, but though their guilt is morally
certain it is difficult to get legal evidence suf-
ficient to convict them.

rAE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

1t Is only two weeks to election in New
York, and though the campaign on the stump
has hardly begun the press of both parties
have been waging fierce and bitter warfare
for some weeks. New York is usually very
uncertain State, and for the past ten
years the Democrats have carried it
more frequently than the Republicans
Outside of New York and Brook
lyn the State is heavily Repub-
lcan. but the excess of Democratic
voters In these two cities is very great. OF
late years 1t has been the claim of the indie
pendents that they hold the balance of power
In the State, and that whoever receives their
support is pretty certain to be elected.
Assuming this claim to be correct, and there
is undoubtedly good deal of strength in it,
the chances are that the Republican candi-
date. Mr.. Ira Davenport, will be elected this
year. He will command the full Republican
strength, there is no doubt of that, and the
great bulk of the Independent vote also will
be thrown for him. A year ago, when the
Independent vote was thrown largely for
Mr.. Cleveland, he had only about thousand
plurality. The transfer of this vote from
the Democratic to the Republican side,
assuming that the other electors will vote
the same as last fall, will certainly give Mr..
Davenport the victory.
1t is matter Of some doubt, however, if
the other voters will remain constant, and it
is this doubt that gives rise to whatever of
uncertainty hangs over the result. A
good many men who had been accustomed to
vote the Democratic ticket voted for Mr.
Blaine last fall. VIII these men continue to
vote the Republican ticket? With this ques-
tion answered in the affirmative, the cleo
tion Of the Republican candidate is rendered
certain. But if these men voted for Mr..
Blaine with no intention of permanently
identifying themselves with the Republican
party, and are going to return to the Demo-
cratic fold this year, then the contest is des-
tined to be close one, and the majority
small either way.
All the outward signs at present point to
Republican success. The Republicans have

respect Of his political enemies as well as
