Mr. Cleveland's letter upon the
civil servic question shows that he will
be one Of the independent order of
Presidents. That is. that while he |
will show a reasonable amount of !
difference to the wishes of his party |
he will not be entirely politiciah. IL /
also establishes the fact that the Re
publican officials who are caucus and
convention managers must go out.
Everything that Mr.. Cleveland does
shows great earnestness OF purpose
and ability To think for himself. Office
sesk sk-rs NAV not find him just as phi.
able as they would have him but the
courtry at large will be apt to derive
much satisfaction from his acts. s.-Ex.
The acquittal of Dan Holcomb
Was looked for after the prosecution
closed it's ev dence. Some of the tes-
polluted to Holcomb as a posi-.
bic party to the monstrous crime, but
the most damaging testimo ny against
him was tlatly contradicLed, and No
matter which Of these statements are
accepted it il certain some tall lying
was done by tho witnesses on une side
Or the other. But apart from these
contradictions this prosecution failed
Jo make conclusive case against
Hocomb. Important links were abb
sent without which his connection
with the crime could not be establish
I'd. A portion of the testimony plac-
I'd Holcomb under cloud, but the
most damaging part Of tits susceptible
,f explanation on hypothesis of en- !
ire innocence. That such explanation
.as not made, to the satisfaction of
Ill, is evident from the report that
hree of the jurors voted for conviction.
The jury have acquitted Holcomb. :
zll who have followed the evidence )
closely will agree the charge was not
proven. Though he may yet be tried
or the murders Of Polly, White and
sunice White it is not likely the 7
State will proceed unless 1t secures a
'ther and more positive evidence.
