The Election Tricksters.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Judge Gresham, in
the United States court this morning, granted
writ of error in the case of Mackin and
Gallagher, convicted of election frauds.
They were admitted to bail in the sum of
1000 each, and were released from Jail.
The time for sending the two men to the
penitentiary expired at noon to-day, and if
the writ had not been granted they would
have been taken to Joliet. The time for
hearing the writ of error has not vet been
fixed upon.
In reviewing the case Judge Gresham said
that after examining the records of the dis
trict court he considered questions raised
sufficiently grave to warrant him to grant the
writ of error, which would also operate as a
stay of proceedings. This ruling, however,
was not to be taken that he would overrule
findings of the district court on the final
hearing. In granting the proceedings he
would feel it necessary to increase the bail of
the defendants to $4,000. Mike Mcdonald,
the gambler, qualified as chief bondsmen, and
testified that he owned $500, 900 worth of un-
encountered real estate.

that they are not UP to the standard as

Tennessee Disgruntled.


WASHINGTON, March 24.-It is learned
that when Senator Harris of Tennessee
called at the White house yesterday the sena-
tor frankly expressed surprise on behalf of
the Tennessee delegation at the selection of
Gov. Porter for first assistant secretary of
state, and inquired whether the president
intended to ignore the Tennessee delegation
in making appointments. The president
replied that he had no such intention, but
that the appointment of Gov. Porter was
personal matter with Secretary Bayard, who is
his intimate friend, and that on account of
the confidential relations of the occupant of
that position with the secretary OF state he
considered the recommendation of Secretary
Bayar1 paramount to all others. He assured
Senator Harris that in making any general
appointments from his state the delegation
would be consulted.

Feeling in Mormondom Over the Supreme

SALT LAKE, Utah, March 24.-The general
sentiment among the intelligent Mormons
regarding the decision of the United States
Supreme court yesterday, in the election
cases in which the Utah commission are re-
spondents, is one of Disappointment. while
the test oath prescribed BY the commission
is invalid. They state that the
court went out of its way to prac-
ticall7 declare the Edmunds act
valid when the point was not necessarily
before it. The ruling that the inhabitants Of
the territories are under the sovereign con-
troll of congress is viewed with amazement
and regret, and is generally considered as
position more opposed to Republican form
of government than any ever given since the
nation Was founded. The Mormons feel
that they are being unjustiy dealt with.

He was seated quietly in his room
at the hotel passing the evening with

When one comes in contact with Secretary
Endicott, he realizes that his extreme polite

on this occasion it did not forsake him, but
he with difficulty got rid of his fair
visitors without promises. He was telling at
