rnR wRIrrEN STATEMENT.


Col. White returned to the statement
obtained from Chief Blackmure by Mr..
Frew, and asked IL it was sworn 10. The
witness said no; he was not asked 10 swear
to it; no would willingly have done go.
He was asked il be bad copy Of it; he
had not, but Mr.. Hubbard produced the
original. Mr.. Blackmore said there was q
slight inNccuracy in the language Of the
first sentence, but otherwise the statement
was correct and he would stand by It. He
did not know when Mr.. Frew was intro
duced to him by the Mayor Of Pittsburgh
that he was connected with the Wheeling
ISTElLIoENcgR. Mr.. Frew said he was q
friend OF Mayor Grubb's, and wanted to
know If tho charges were true. The
words "At the instance OF Chief Smith"
in his written statement wero not exactly
right; that is it was not at Smiths request,
though Smith did desire 10 take the trip.
Col. White asked one question over and
over again, and finally tho witness snld,
~ haYs answered that question several
times; l won't answer 1t again. II l
should sit here all night would not an
swer any differently"
The cross examination was frequently
interspersed by laughter at the: unequal
contests between Col. White aud the wit.
meas, which always terminated in favor Of
Mr.. Blackmore. During this examination
Mr.. Hubbard, under the soporifc effects,
rested his head on his arms on the table
and apparently INDUCED In nap. lie
also went out and took turn in the cor
ridor.
Col. White once, referring to the state
ment in the paper signed by the witness
that he took the party the rounds to give
them some idea OF "the ms and outs Of the
police business" asked: ibid they See
any police in those houses"
"Eo," said Blackmore, tue don't allow
our police to go into places Of that kind"
The emphasis raised another laugh.
MR.. sHANLEY's CONSENT.
Another time a series Of questions pro.
voked the comment,
~ don'tsee any sense In the question"
The crowd echoed his expression with
hearty laugh.
kMr. Hubbard finally had another oppor-
tunity 10 ask the witness, and referred to
the question Mr.. Miller had asked about
Mr.. Stanley.
II do not know" said Mr.. Hubbard,
that / am called on to defend a witness
summoned by the prosecution, but out OF
simple justics to Mr.. Stanley, think an
explanation ought to be made. Did he,
as you understood, consent to visit these
dives like the rest, merely to see the dark
side Of life, and to get some idea OF this
part Of your police field, or did he go with |
IN improper purpose2p
did not approve Of visiting that kind Of
resorts, and never did 80, but II the rest Of
the party desired 10 make such trip he
would not refuse to accompany themnot
break up the party"
Mr.. Hubbard-"So ! supposed"
Mr.. Miller-"Mr. Hubbard, may I ask
you one question:" '

people prescribe the form Of relief to be

manner that will admit of his being
placed upon the retired list. Thoy know
that two bills are pending before them
purporting to have the desired end in
view-one Of which would surely receive
the presidential approval and the
other as surely meet with the pres
identisl veto. Yet, protesting desire
to meet the demands Of the loyal north

He Should BE Confirmed.

1t ia duty tho republican senate owes
itself and the country to at once confirm
the nomination of Hon. Emory Speer, of
Georgia, for United States district judge
He is pre-eminently qualified for tho
position. His personal and public char
actor is without spot or blemish. lie is
progressive citizen of the south, and
represents whatever hopes of better
future the country cherishes for that
section. Arrayod against him in almost
solid phalanx is the bourbon democracy,
because he has committed tho unpardon-
able sin of acting with the republican
party. As district attorney he secured
the only convictions of late years of the
ku-klux intimidators. For this the
democracy hate him. He is q young
man of following in the south,
and he must be crushed or
his example may become contagious.
Tho investigation Of the charges brought
against him by his political enemies has
resulted in his complete and triumphant
vindication. The senior senator from
Georgia stands out alone among his party
associates In tne senate ana supports Lne
nomination. The democrats have drawn
party lines upon the question of Mr..
speer's confirmation, aud every day they
are on hand to take advantage Of the
temporary absence of Republican sena.
tors to secure his defeat. With such o
record as Mr.. Speer possesses, with his
unquestioned fitness for the position, with
the certainty that the rejection Of his ap'
pointment would be hailed with delight
by every shotgun democrat of the
-. south, and with tho further conviction
that no would bo ostracized and driven
from the state If he failed of conhrma-
tion, tho republican senators should inn
mediately act in this matter. There is
no excuse for the accidental absence ot
senators while this question is pending
Tho democrats are leaving nothing tc
