A Reasonable Doubt as to "Blinky'' Nor

gans Guilt.
COLUMBUS, o., July 23-There is q
growing sentiment in this community in
favor of the communication of the sentence
of Blinky Morgan, sentenced to be
hanged August 8. This is especially
the case since the Indictment against
Coughlin has been nollied, and since it
has become known that the one against
Robinson will also be after Morgan is
hanged. Those who have watched the
case of Morgan during and since his
trial think there is a reasonable doubt as
to his guilt, and feel that he should be
given the benefit of that doubt, espe-
cially since those convicted with him go
scot free. In view of these facts, petit
tion asking the governor to commute
Morgan's sentence to imprisonment for
life, has been drawn up by a very we'll
known attorney of this city, who has be-
come interested in Morgan's case, and
is acting without his knowledge and
without pay, and will be circulated for
signatures.

HENRY GEORGES sCHEM E.

WASHINGTON, July 23.--A large num-
Der OF circulars entitled "To Americans
Everywhere, have been issued from the
headquarters, the American party in
this city. After stating that the ma
tional convention of the party will be
held in this city on the 10th of August,
the national committee asks the person
10 whom the circular is directly adj
dressed ito see to 1t that the American
constituency of your state, district or
locality is represented in the coming
gathering of Americans in the nation s
capital. II possible state convention
of Americans in your state should be
called that delegates at large may be Sc
lected and prompt action urged in the
several congressional districts Where
this is possible, call the Americans in
your district together at once, whether
few or many, elect officers for a district
club and appoint two delegates for the
15district to the convention.
Representatives are also asked from
organizations of patriotic Americans, and
should all other means of sending dele
gates fail, the circular asks that some resi-
dent of Washington city who is citizen
of your state and whom you know to be u
good American, be authorized to repre-
sent your stare or one of your districts In
the convention. -
The committee states that the conven-
tion has been called in obedience to an
almost universal demand for it by the
adherents of the American party
throughout the country. The principles
of the party are enumerated as follows;
They demand the careful restriction of
immigration to persons OF good char
acter, who are willing TO obey our laws
and respect our Institutions; require an
educational suffrage and the extension of
the probationary period of fourteen years
at least; they declare in favor of our
glorious free school system, and would
protect it intact against assaults of
either open or secret foes; they ask that
American lands shall be owned by Amer
lean citizens only; they favor the perma-
nent and most thorough separation of
church and state, and demand protection
for industrious Americans from the curse
of foreignism in whatsoever shape it an
tagonizes or threatens our national lib
erty and unity.
