The Erenin0 Post, which breads Republican success
a little more than the devil breads holy water, has
great deal OF praise for Mr.. Roosevelt, but 1t iinds
one sign OF his unftness for the Mayoraty. Ihs Is
that lie allows himself TO be put in the field by such
q body as the Republican organization Of EMS city.
Well let us extend that reasoning little further
Mr. Hewitt, too, deserves praise for some things

If any more of the indicted Aldermen are
intending to run away, it is not likely that they
will delay much longer. The amount of their
anguish is not measured only by $4,000 bail
and the possibility of going to State Prison
fna ". To this must now be added the GER
talnty of being cast into Jail the moment the
date of trial is fixed irrevocably. Such was
McCabe's fate yesterday, and his case is typical.
The decision to bring this about was wise
one on the part of the DistrictAttorney's Office.
Probably all the INDICTED hribe-takers who
larry with US yet have thought that it was not
absolutely necessary to depart until the day OF
trial could no longer be postponed. Evidently
those calculations now need revising.

Mr.. Hewtt's effort to make Henry George

the present local canvass has placed him In
position which he will hardly relish MIR.
George proposes public discussion on such
subjects as he (Mr. Hewitt may deem involved
In the capmalgn. Of course Mr.. Hewitts
experience, reading and thinking would furnish
him with a plenty Of arguments against
Georges peculiar land tax theories, but the
questions of "class movements which the
Congressman raised are not SO easily met, aud
the discussion of them would not strengthen
the Democratic candidates hold upon the
crowd of working people who wOulc flock to
hear him speak. Nevertheless, Mr.. Hewitt is
as plucky a man as Henry George. and his
reply 70 this challenge will surely be lively

GALL a HIATT.

Within the last three or four years at
least four, If not five, cold -blooded das-
tardly deeds Of bloodshed have been per-
petrAted within the limits of our beautiful
little city, each succeeding one seeming to
vie with the previous as TO horror and
heartleasness of details.
First came the Mosely- MARITIME poison
Ing case, wherein an old woman was cody
put'o out of the way for the purpose of OBJ
tanning insurance monty.
Next followed the cowardly and brutal
murder AZ Mr.. Mcmillan while walking
from the junction, by three trAmps, who
after their trial and conviction boosted that
going to the "pen" wasn't so bad, as they
would at least have plenty TO eat and 9
place to sleep.
Then the Button Snodgrass homicide on
Commercial street followed, wherein an
inoffensive, peaceAble colored man was
toullY stabbed to death while on his way
home from attending church.
And, last night, came the most horrible
of all, wherein u much respected, peace
able citizen was called to his door after
dark, and, without q word of warning,
was shot dead in his tracks, simply be-
cause during the the afternoon he refused
to allow drunken brute TO maltrest and
abuse him at his pleasure
These are simply few of the most hor-
rible and bloody crimes perpetrAted in
our midst within the last three or four
years, in all Of which there was no chance
70 doubt the bloody and murderous inten-
ton of the slaYers. Other cases have oc-
CURED, some OF which have become cele-
braied, in which there was doubt of the
alleged murderers being guilty, and they
escaped even the psnIteniiary. But in
the above cases there were no doubts OF

SO VerdIct In 1he NIc0uade Case.

New YORK, Nov. PA few minutes
after II O'Clock Recorder Smyth made his
appearance IN court and a. IL 40 the jury
came into the room and Foreman Lynn
stated that they had not agreed upOR q
verdict, adding: ave have remained the
same since 10 O'Clock Monday Dight."
Recorder Smyth said he did not think II
was worth while to keep the jury longer.
and asked District Attorney Martin for an
opiaion. Martin thought il tho statues OF
the jury had remained unchanged since
Il O'Clock Monday night they had better
be discharged Recorder Smyth thereupon
discharged the jury. District Attorney
Martin then addressed the court. He
Telt that he had performed his
whole duty IN the matter and
his assistants had worked maniuily. They
had presented full case, aud be was at e
loss to understand how the jury, or any
Jury, could fail to agree upon some ver-
dict. He felt that the result OF the trial
WAS public calamity and the case should
be- called for q speedy re trial. He there
fore moved for new trial on Monday
next.
Newcomb thought he needed more time
to prepare fer q new trial.
The recorder thought the lawyers had
made ample preparations, aud therefor2
granted the motion tor a now trial. to be-
gin Monday next at II a. IN.
To the general surprise Of these who
had watched the trial, il was learned that
the first ballot taken, at midnight Mon
day, stood nine for aCquittal and three ioT
conviction. There were only three ballots
taken after that, one on Tuesday morning
and another last night, after which came
the report to the court, and after that the
tired and now ugly jurors bestowed them
selves IN the most comfortable msnnef
possible, on chairs, 9 stiff. backed bench,
on the table and floor of the room and
esssyed TO sleep. They were not good
nstured this morning, and on taking an
other ballot found that they stood exactly
as they had on all the other ballots. This
was the report to the court, resulting in
their discharge. The three who held out
for conviction were LOnusberry, Dough
erty and Frye. all of whom are CONNER
cial men. The announcement of the
status of the jury is anything but hstter-
ing to the nine who could not see convic-
ton in the evidence, for everyone had
convicted the accused, 30 great was the
belief that the jury was favorable to con
victioE. The jurors did not wait long II
answer the inquiries of their feilew citi
zens, but speedily got their hats and over
coats and vent home.
