REPUBLICAN ROW.
A Tear Up In Rhode Island Democrats
Jubllant.

A Tear Up In Rhode Island Democrats
JubIiant.
PROVIDENCE, K. l., March 23.-The
greatest political sensation Rhode Island
has ever known was sprung upon the Re-
publican party this morning. Enos lap
ham, wealthy Warwick manufacturer
WAS nominated for Lieutenant Governor
by the Republican convention last week.
He has no other qualification for states
manship than his money. For years the
Providence Journal, independent Republi-
can in Politics, has published after the
State convention at the head Of its editorial
column, the nominee OF the party. On tie
morning after the convention the Journal
editorially had Lapham out of sight de-
nouncing him in violent terms. When
the Journal appeared this morn
log, in the place which Lspham's
name would naturally be, were
two long black lines, signifying that the
Journal had scratched his name and candi-
dacy. The consequence is that Republi-
cans are frantic with rage and the Demo
Gratis iubilant. General Brayton said that
unless the attack is made right the head OF
the ticket will be dropped and Lapham's
name placed in its place.
The Democrats interviewed said that
nothing could have happened which would
give them more satisfaction. The Demo-
cratic organ of the State, the Providence
telegram, has had reproduced Il fac simile
of the scratched ticket, aud the Democrats
are circulating it.
The whole matter means the disruption
OF the Republican party and the victory of
of the Democratic ticket at the coming
election. Lspham is mad, styles the ac-
tion of the Journal as rank treacheIy, and
has offered to subscribe $40, 900 to found at
once another Republican paper.

SOME HINTS TO COLD SHORT.

Our bOnhsstic journalistic neighbor,
''COld Snort, must have terrible case q
mental s.TabiSmus aboard, and all because
the REGIsrER eondescended to comment
upon and reproduce very foolish extract
from his issue of last week, as follows:
The following extract from Cold
Short, editor and secretary Of The OHIO
VALLEY NIRWfICtBrSr, in the last issue Of
that nou- partisan Journal, Is rather sug-
geStiye:
Fox instance Grover Cleveland, by the
favor OF luck, or the laundering stupidity
OF the gang OF Jealous professional polI-
ticiAns lust alluded to, WAS nominated
for President; the people, We, Us and con-
pany, elected MIN. why lust because he
sailed under ths dag called Democratic;
no question OF capacity, Of competency, OF
OF honest adherence 10 real simon pure
DemocrItic principles.
The REUJsTER little dreamed that the
four GceS OF comment preceding the tx
tract were going to bring down so much
game. This issue of Cold shorts" week
ly ILLS a column and halt of valuable
space trying TO explain his position, but
it only makes his quasi apology more
ridiculous. That same space might have
been devoted With better effect 10 some ex-
cellent piece OfindustIial OF scientific news.
or COnmaniAble essay or interesting
sketch taken from some well edited jour
nal tba. is relllg devoted To manufactur-
ing Industries, and does not get into the
questionable business Of referring to the
Chief Magistrate ofthe United States as a
"pOndsrous he'll wetEer." Gold Short
has the reputation Of taking yass amount
Of space in which to say very little 10 the
purpose. reputation is fully justified.
Out of The storesaid column ard half of
rank yerbnsi.y, largely made mp Of iirelev-
liant matter which conspicuOusly applies to
himself Il 70 anyone, We only iud the fol-
lowing, which is an admission Of the orig
inal reflection.
This 1 grant "a suygsstirs. 1t signifies
that there Is DAGGER that the rank and tile
when forewaIrrj will not follow over the
fence when even such a pOIderOus bell
wethsr as Mr. Cleveland leads the way.
I'VE, Us and company" was used IN an
impersOull asuse-iO signify the mass Of
the party.
The only conclusion that can be drawn
from all Gold Short's" gush is that he is
terribly ratified over his blunder and has
not the requisite sasacity to extricate him
self satisfactorily.

SPEAkkkS y hOOh,
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., March %, 1855. J
The attention Of Speaker Carlisle being
called to-day to what purported to be an
interview with him, published in the Phil
adeIpbia Times of yesterday morning. he
dlsclaimed all responsibility for the publi-
cation. He said he had not been interview
ed at all on thesubjects mentioned, and that
while there were some statements contained
in the publication from which he did not
dissent, there were Others which entirely
misrepresented his views. That part OF 1t
which represented him ss saying that he
was decidedly iu favor of taking the duty
off sugar was diametrically opposed 10 the
views he had always held and still
hold upon that subject. He said
bs was opposed to the re.
peal of the duties on sugar, and believed
there should be . moderate and reasonable
reduction OF these duties, as in the cases Of
many other articles subject 10 tax under
the customs laws He regarded the duties
on sugar, he said, As almost entirely reve-
nue. tax, and believe il Was one OF the du-
ties that should be continued for that rea-
son.
Mr.. Carlisle farther said: 81 have never
expressed nor intimated doubt rs 10 the
propriety Of placing wool on the free list.
1t is the first thing necessary for securing
cheaper clothiBg for the people, and st the
same tune enabling our manufacturers OF
woolen goods TO compete with foreign
rivals, and regard it as one OF the most
essential and important provisions con-
tanned in the bill to be reported from the

No Change In :he Tally Sheet Gases Since
the Third Ballot.
Special 7tieoram 10 the Register.
COLUMBUS, March 23.-After IL O'Clock
NJ. to-day the jury in the tally sheet for
gerry cases reported to the court that it was
impossible for them to agree, that the bal
lots had not varied since the third, which
showed eight for conviction and four for
acquittal. That there was no truth in the
reports circulated that one side or the
other was making four well defined Demo-
Gratis on the jury, and one Greenbacker.
The Greenbacker cast his ballot with the
Republicans for conviction, on general
principles. As was generally anticipated,
party lines were strictly drawn and disa-
greement was unavoidable.
The repeated charges aud instructions
OF the Court to the effect that the trial had
cost power Of money, and that the jury
ought to agree, even if was necessary TO
extinguish individuality and average up
verdict Of conviction had no affect. The de-
Tense were egreatly troubledlast evening over
the several charges Of the court in the sus-
pense, under which all deeply interested
persons were laboring. This was aggra-
waited by the early approach of the spring
election, in which the tally sheet business
will cut conspicuous figure.

pointed by President Grant to succeed
Salmon P. Chase.
The first Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court was John Jay, of

Of service was six years, when he resigned.
President Washington appointed John Rut-
ledge, of South Carolina, in 1875, to sue
ceed Jay. Mr. Rutledge presided at one
term Of the Conrt, but the Senate refused
to confirm the nomination, and he made
way for Oliver Ellsworth, Of Connecticut.

years' service.
The fourth Chief Justice was the eele-
bIated John Marshall, of Virginia, He
was appointed in 1901 and held his po-
sition for thirty-four years, the longest
term of service Of any of the Chief Justices.
Marshal has been called 'the great Chief
Justice" because Of his eminent qualifica-
tions. He was very peculiar man in his
personal characteristic, aud noted for his
plain, if not shabby, styl Of dress. Like
ex.Yice President Hamlin, he never wore
an overcoat even in the coolest weather.
Roger b. Taney, of Mary land, was ap-
pointed in 1886 by President Jackson, and
was Chief Justice until his death in 1864,

r. Waite also from Ohio.
There hale been but seven Chief Justices
Of the United States Supreme Court since
the organization of that body, counting
John Rutledge, who was never confirmed,
although he presided over the court one
term. His was the shortest occupancy Of
the Bench, and Marshall's the longest-34
years. Taney came next, with % years, and
the late Chief Justice was the third in length
of service.
The Supreme Court, at its first session
in 1890, consisted of Chief Justice and
uNC hbcOClSUCo. uO W EhorONloeS
Justices was increased to six in 1907 by
the appointment Of Thomas Todd; increas-
ed to eight in 1887 by the appointment Of
John Catron and John Mckinley; increas-
ed to niue in 1863 by the appointment of
Stephen ]. Field; decreased to eight on the
death of John Catron in 1865; decreased to
seven on the death of James n. Wayne in
1867; and again increased to eight in 1870,
by the appointment of Joseph P. Bradley.

Guilty and struggle, and through q career
in that court and out Of it, embracing
questions of the widest importance to hu-

respect of the jurisprudence of the whole
world.
His career il ended for this life. 1t has
