TO BOUNCE OR NOT TO BOUNCE.
The Question That is Disturbing Parkers-
burg's New Council.

Speeia! Correspondence ofp'e REGISTER.
PARKERsBURG, W. VA, April 10
Just now the anxious seat in local politi-
cal ci,cles is full Of inquiries. Whether
the Republican Council recently elected,
and socn to take their seats, can bounce
the present cfice holders, most Of whom
are Democrats, or not, is the question at
issue. Noted members of the bar Of this
county, Of different political faiths, hold
opposite opinions. Yesterday on opinion
was rendered by youDg Republican law
yer, Mr.. W. N. Miller, that the incoming
Council had a perfect legal right to bounce
every man now holding an appointment
The day before the well known law firm
of Van Winkle& Amber risked its reputa-
ton in an opinion given over the firm sig
nature, that no bouncing was legal at the
present time. Politically the firm repre-
sent both the great parties, the senior
member Of the firm being as pronounced
Republican as his partner is intense in his
Democracy.
NC QutSliOu tuiuo upOh thc SohoeA w
tion of certain clauses in the new city
charter together with ordinances passed
under it. That the language is ambiguous
is evident from the many constructions
placed upon il, but the desire Of those on
the waiting bench is to have the matter
settled. As general removal might in
volye the city in innumerable law suite
the new Council will not likely take any
rash steps.
The latest thing reported for this city is
q gymnasium. An organization has been
perfected, officers and committees appoint
ed and hall secured. The intention is
to make the new institution credit to the
city aud no expense will be spared to bring
about this end. At an early day similar
organization at Gallipolis will give the
local institution a benefit, followed by an
other one with talent from Cincinnati.

In the Blaine Interest.

things which is troubling the boys as to
what shall be done at the State Conyen.
tiou il the election Of delegates at large.
There are four to be chosen, and Phila-
delphia, according to ratio of population,
should be entitled to one, that is the city
would have one-fourth representation upon
the basis of one-sixth population. Leeds
is undoubtedly the first choice, according
to the original understanding.
The boys do not precisely understand
Mr.. Smiths candidacy, except that 1t
should be directly in Blaine's interest.
They cannot understand why he should
want to be on the convention floor unless
it should be to press Blaine for the nomi.
nation, or some one that Mr.. Blaine should
desire to have placed at the head OF the
ticket.

WAsHISGT, d. C., April 15.-Chair-
man Mills arr from Fortress Monroe
to night, loo gmueh better than his
friends had a. eason to expect after his
recent serious ness. The Tariff bill will
come up prom yOn Tuesday next. It Is
expected that Democratic caucus will be
held to-morro light, to formulate an ar
raDgement. b . caucus would fairly
develop the ling of each Democratic
member, and D., exact strength of the
measure with the party can be defined.
The only pronounced kicker is Sowden.
He will oppoe the bill unless it is modi-
fed to suit his views, and his views on the
leading features of the bill are quite antag-
onistic TO tho.e entertained by the majority
o the Ways and Means Committee He
Is opposed to free wool, and likewise to any
reductions that affect interests in PenIsyl-
vsais, especially in his own district. He
aud Ermentrout have been gsrrymandered
into the same congressional district and the
latter is for the bill As it is squestion OF
which of tn two will survive in the COM
ing campaign the tariff battle will be
fought in q very practical way in that die
trict. IL is asserted in connection with
his recent vote with the Republicans
on the direct tax bill that ne will run a.
independent Democratic congressional
candidate il ne fails 70 secure the regular
nomination. That Pennsylvania should
furnish q more ultra pcotectiOnist than
Randall is singular bat it is e fact that
Sowden is far more irreconcilable than the
gentleman from Philadelphia. 1t is not
yet known what attitude the representa-
tive Lynch will take on the Mills bill,
but he will likely follow the lead Of Mr..
Randall.
The discussion on the bill will be opened
by Dir. Mills and Judge Kelley, as in for
mer times, will be the first of the opposi-
ton TO taks the floor. Further than this
no program me has been arranged, but al
ready ser .Hiy-sight members have an
nounced heir intention OF making set
speeches. Their order will be arranged by
the steering committees Of each party. Six
weeks is about the period that Is expected
to elapss before fual vote is reached.
Some of the intervening time will necss-
sarily he taken up in order that certain
appropriation bills can be considered.

MORGAN'S PLEA.
Tho Condemned Murderer Argues That
He Was Unjustly Convicted.


He Was Unjustly Convicted.
COLUMBUS, April 14.-Blinky Morgan,
who is to hang June l, made a statement
to-day. reviewing the testimony upon
which he was convicted, and giving reasons
why be thinks he has been Disseminated
against in securing new trial. He COM
pares his case with that of Robinson, to
show that the evidence was not nearly so
convincing, and says that during the trial
the argument was used that he had been
engaged in the fur robbery, and was,
therefore, interested in the escape Of Me-
Nom, while no proof was offered TO show
that he was implicated in the robbery.
There was evidence, though, to show Rob-
ipson's connection with the robbery; that
witnesses testified that Robinson was on
the train when the murder was commit
tad, and he proved that he was elsewhere.
One of the witnesses swore he took his
breakfast at her eating. house the morning
Of the murder, when she was not at home
for two weeks afterward, a fact that was
fully proved.
Morgan complains that he was not al
lowed to show how easy it was to be mis-
taken as TO identity which connected him
with the rescuipg party. Relative to Cap
tain Hoehne's testimony, Morgan says the
former swore the prisoner was down on the
door in the car fighting with him all the
time until the prisoners rescue was ef-
fected, while a woman from Allegheny,
who was on the train, swore that Morgan
was sitting in the ladies' car, and, at Rs-
VIENNA, rushed to the platform and held the
car door fast so the passengers could not
get out, at the same time urging the res
cuers to hurry along with the prisoner.
This same woman was brought from Allie
gheny to Rsvenna TO identify him, but
could not do SO.
He cites the feeling which existed dur
ing the trial and the yells for blood which
were made in the presence of the jury as
they went back and forth to their meals,
IS among the reasons why fair trial could
not be had. There were 80 many errors in
the trial as to leave no doubt in the minds
OF the defense that new trial would be
ordered, and for this reason the case was
rested before they had finished. Morgan
ridicules the idea that McMuun is Matt
Kennedy, and does not believe they are
the same.
