FASTER TANNER.


CHICAGO, Sept. 15-Dr. H s. Tanner, who
became famous about eight years ago by fasting
forty days in Clarendon Hall, New York city,
arrived in Chicago yesterday, from New Mexico.
He is apparently in perfect health, and his eirth
is such as to suggest anything except abstinence
from food. About the last word from the doc
tor, previous TO his arrival here. was that he
was In New Mexico. living upon purely vege-
table diet. At present be eats two meals day
in summer and one meal day N winter In
an interview he says that he has been In Mexico
for four years, pursuing Investigations into tho
subject of suspended animation or counterfeit
death. He is convinced that large numbers OF
people are annually buried alive all over the
world, and from his study of various cases, aud
the records of societies the subject
in Holland and elsewhere, he Is convinced that,
so subtle is the principle of life, one can
undertake to say that II is extinct until decom-
position-the only sure sign-has set in. lie
declares that the dead In this country are buried
with indecent, with criminal haste, and that
burials Of persons who are not absolutely dead
are murders. The doctor is also pursuing an
other branch OF sc mi Suspended animation viz:
Information. He declares that bears and other
alternating animals do not use their lungs
during the hibernatine season, and he is con-
WINGED that man can Hibernate He refers to
the long frances Of the Hindoo adopts &C.
complished through long seasons Of fasting and
declares it 10 be his belief that these frances
are merely seasons OF Information. The doctor
Gays he is studying with q view TO making some
experiments IN this line and that the time may
come when he will permit himself to be sealed
MP in an alright cofin and laid away until such
time as he shall designate for il to be opened.

The election of our nominee for Senator,
of which, however, we have no doubt, is
more important matter than some may be
aware Of On it may depend the election of
a democratic United States Senator, and on
the election of democrat depends demo-
cratic supremacy in the United States Sen
ate. Upon it may depend the supremacy
of democracy in the State Senate. The
Legislature might become Republican on
joint ballot and elect Republican U. S.
Senator. Suppose the hopes of Gen. COTS
friends should be realized and he be elected
Governor, and in the event of the Legisla-
ture being republican Golf should be elect
ed to the United States Senate. 1t would
necess:tate,his resignation as Governor. The
President of the Senate becomes Governor.
The Senate being democratic could furnish
a democratic Governor See, then, the i'm
portance of retaining democratic control of
the legislature, primarily, to secure the e.
lection of democratic United States Sena-
tor; and to retain control of the Senate
to have democratic presiding officer to
succeed to the GovernOrship, should Golf
by chance slip in by election and want to
relinquish it for the Senate. Itwould place
Gen. Golf and his party friends in an awk-
ward predicament Elected Governor by
the people and to the Senate by joint vote
of the Legislature, he would have to give
up his senatorial aspirations or submit to a
democratic successor as Executive of the
State. Democrats will see the importance
of voting for and eiecting Maj. Knott. We
don't expect the Legislature to be republi-
can or Gen. Golf to be elected, but the I'M
expected sometimes happens. 1t is well to
be prepared for contingencies. Don't be be-
guiled into trading votes. Every democrat
ic nominee on our ticket can be elected if
democrats are not recreant to duty.
As far as political calculations can 90, the
next President of the United States will be
Grover Cleveland. How should we appear in
that day if we had to be known to his admin
istration through Republican representative
in congress ?-Stalur0R Iuadicat0r.
