Probably the Kansas City Times man
was not boiling hot. when the news came
OF Senator Logan's election, and then
again probably he was somewhat heated.

Kansas City crack nine. barred his door
and ordered someihIn' soothing 10 the
nerves. This Is what he wrote, evident
~ before the last order was filled:
"If the Illinois Democrats wanted to
become famous, the trimming gratIfica-
ton of their endeavor ought to send
them home very happy. All of them
are famous, from Colonel Morrison
down to the county committees, which

struggle of Democracy is for control ol

tempt at a tariff reform or any othel
legislation strangled which will carry
Democratic principles into practice
The triumph OF last year is in
complete until the senate II
secured. A Democratic senator
from Illinois would have been an espe
cially valuable acquisition, because six
year term from a Republican state would

man, when sentenced, had aa infant in

judge, they piteouslY pleaded for mercy
for their babies sake. The scene was g
heartrending one. Judge Drawlv, with
tears in his eyes, said the law was
memorable, but he would fix the lowest
penalty prescribed. The women then
prayed and sobbed and uttered terrible
shrieks Is they were finally removed by
the officers. They said q man named
Kirby had threatened their lives If they
did not swear as they did, and that they
had for years lived in mortal terror of
him. Both are respectable women of
good local repute. Their babies accom-
pany them 10 the penItentiary. An ef-
fort will be made to secure executive
pardon IN their case. These women are
