CHARGES EVIDENTLY TRUE.

Congressman Mckinley Refused to
Either Affirm or Deny the Charges
Against Gov. Foraker.
Congressman William Mckinley was
visited by a DEMOCRAT reporter this
morning to see if he was willing to talk
ON the treachery Of Governor Foraker
to the Repub leans of the state OF Ohlo,
and in particular to John Sherman at
the National Convention.
81 would prefer not to say anything
on the subject" said the Major when
spoken to on the matter.
Couldn't you give the readers OF the
DEMOCRAT and the city at large your
views on FOraker's action at Chicago?'
asked the reporter.
Il can't say anything about this mat
ter" replied the Major; 'in fact there's
nothing to say, and | would prefer that
you wouldn't use my name i'll this mat
ter"
1t is very evident from Major McKin-
ley's actions and his reticence on the
matter that there is a niger Of huge
dimensions in the wood pile. The
Major was preparing TO leave on the
afternoon train fer Washington when
seen by the reporter and was very busy,
but as the charges against Governor
Foraker are very grave and the matter
is of such vital Importance politically
it would appear from the Congressman's
remarks that truth underlays the
charges. Had it heen otherwise he
would have denied them vigorously.

Major said:

adjournment"
"Then the affair must have been a
cut and dried one not outstanding the
fuss made" responded the reporter.
To this Congressman Mckinley gave a
peculiar look and did not answer.

ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO ROB.

rhe Jury Brings in q Verdict Of Guilty
and Patton is Taken to Jail.
The jury in the Patton case came to
an agreement sometime through the
night aud brought Ill a sealed verdict.
When the Court House bell rang this
morning at 10 o'clock, everybody rushed
to the court room to hear what the YER
dict would be and in a few minutes
there was not standing room. Judge
Pease asked whether the defend
ant was present and when
answered in the affirmative he told the
bailiff to call the jury. The jury filed
into the court room and took their
seats in the jury box. The clerk then
asked them whether they had agreed
upon a verdict, and the foreman,
Thomas Van Horn, handed the clerk a
sealed envelope which contained it.
The verdict was guilty of the first
count in the indictment, which
was assault with intent to rob.
Although the verdict was a surprise to
Patton, for he was looking for an
acquittal, yet he seemed unmoved and
did not show the least sign of affection.
Mr.. Harter, his counsel, then asked to
have the jury polled and each one said
the verdict just rendered was his yer
dict. His counsel then gave notice to
the court of a motion for a new trial.
The motion will be argued sometime
next week. The Judge then command
ed the Sheriff to take charge Of the
prisoner and he was taken jail. The
jury was then discharged and court ad-
burned until next Thursday morning.

THE Republicans of the great North
west have already commenced to kick
against the high protection tariff plank
in the Republican platform. Even the
st. Paul Pioneer-Press one of the strong
est and staunchest Republican organs
in the country, is constrained to say:
"rhe Republican party in 1884 felt
compelled to favor q Judicious revision
of the tariff. In 1888 the national con-
vention, rising to It's feet as one man,
with a united yell of enthusiasm, ap.
plauds the declaration in substance that
the tariff must be maintained unchan,
gable as it is; and that the internal
taxes on tobacco, alcohol and whisky
must be swept away rather than reduce
any protective duty n iota. The Plo'
neer Press does not regard these declaE'
ations as in line Of the wisest states

an Interestfnp Feature of

an Interesting Feature of the
 Railroad COmmiss1OHerss Report.
 The railroad commissioners report, lack ing the returns of the companies, presents several features of special interest Its most interesting single fact is the declaration that, though the Meriden and Cromwell road and the town authorities involved united in re- questing that 16 grade crossings be allowed, the commissioners refused to grant a single one. That is the right attitude; had it been taken earlier we would have had a larger population but a diminished undertakers' trade in this State.
 Last year the grade crossings resulted in killing 22 persons and injuring 13 others. This is more than double the accidents of the previous year, and they are likely to go on doubling as railroad and wagon road travel are both increasing. The commissioners re- view the grade crossing situation. They have ordered the elimination of 32 crossings and have 37 others under consideration. The only objections offered have been that the towns ought not to have to pay. Governor Lounsburys presentation of the subject in his message is commended. The board state their attitude toward the Consolidated road as follows:
 We inforMed the officers of the company and announced at the beginning of the hear ings that unless the work was to be done up- on terms agreed upon between the railroad company and the towns it must be expected that we should assess much larger propor- tion of the expense upon the company and consequently less on the towns than we should do if the expenditure was to be ex- tended over term of years.
 The following table shows the towns in which changes in grade crossings have been ordered. the number of highways ordered changed, the total estimated expense, the apportionment and whether by agreement or otherwise:
