1t will not be surprising if Grover
Cleveland is re~elected president by a
very large majority of the electoral col
lege, remarks the Indianapolis Sentinel.
The sp,called debatable states of the
NOrth-New York, New Jersey, Connec>
ticut and lndiana-are by no means the
only ones that the democrats have Il
good prospect of carrying. California
and Oregon, with their eleven electoral
votes, are more than likely to go demo-
cratic The Chinese treaty, recently me-
gotiated has materially strengthened the
democratic party in those states, and
they are understood to be well disposed
toward tariff reform. The democrats
have excellent prospects in Illinois. Lo-
gan was the mainstay Of the republican
party in this state, and now that he is
gone, and the tariff issue has been raised,
Illinois Is in fair way to return to its
first political love. The appointment of
an Illinois man to the chief Justiccship,
will, no doubt have favorable effect
upon democratic chances in that state.
Cleveland, too is exceedingly popular in
Illinois. In Minnesota the tendency is
very strongly toward the democracy. AT
least 80 per cent of the voters are OPP
posed to protection, and if the republi>
cans nominate pronounced high tariff
man, they will, in all probability, lose

They Ask the Chicago Convention to Put
Their Ideas in the Platform.
New York, May AT the Anti-Saloon
Republican convention yesterday,an adj 'ress
in favor of woman suffrage was made by Mrs.
]. Ellen Foster, of Iowa. after which the
question of petitioning the Chicago conven-
ton for a woman suffrage plank was referred
to a committee. A resolution appealing to
women to support the Republican party,
wherever It stands for home against the sa-
loon, was adopted.
A finance committee was appointed to de-
wise means to raise 1000 for necessary ex-
penses, and, after adopting the following
platform, the conference ad journed:
First--We regard the saloon as the common and
malignant foe of civilization and humanity. and AS
a public enemy it ought to be abolished
Second-We hail with great satisfaction the rapid
growth of the antisaloou sentiment in all parts of
the country as shown by constitutional amend
ments and Legislative enactments
Third Recognizing the practical difficulty of
temperance legislation and enforcement we unite
upon the broad ground of active hostility to the
saloon without debating methods of procedure.
The people have the right and should have the
opportunity of deciding how and when the saloon
shall be suppressed.
Fourth-As members of the Republican party we
are proud of Its glorious pastrejoce in its present
vigor and have abiding confidence that it will
prove to be the agent of Divine Providence for the
destruction of the salonn it was for the over
throw of slavery.
Fifth-SpeaBing for an overwhelming majority
of Republican voters and good citizens ask
the national Republican convention to incorporate
in their platform declaration of hostility to the
saloon.
sixth-we invite the active cooperation of
all friends of temperance on this plan Of cam

stock, aud Mr. BEEN said be guessed he would
go TO his wife's room and lie down, too He

awhile before lying down, and sat down in IA
chair beside the bed She, in n few minutes,
fell asleep She testified that she did not hear
the reports of either of the two shots Of the
pistol There were two shots fired about three
or four seconds apart. The first shot did not
take effect, but passed over the head of the
bed and entered the wall The second shot

him instantly. The revolver used belonged
To Mrs BEEN. The generals clothing was not
burned in the least.

ST. rNUT|, Mimi, May A special from
Ashland, Wis, to The Dispatch says: The
rains for twenty hours have caused the
Bad river to rise again, and there is much
danger now of loss to the loggers who are
driving down the swollen stream. The river
is now running all over the woods, and of
course, so are the logs, but the danger which
is most apprehended is that the boom at the
mouth of the river will be broken by the
action of the strong current, and it is feared
that then the 25OOO,0OO logs therein will be
lost in Lake Superior

IMPORTANT RAILWAY COMBINE.

that the negotiations between the Canadian
Pacific and 500" system, comprising the
Sault ste. Marie, Minneapolis q Pacific and
Aberdeen, Bismarck y Northwestern, which
have been going ON for some time past have
been completed, and that the Canadian Pa
ciiic has secured IA controlling interest The
Aberdeen d Bismarck road was put in at its
cost-S5OO, 900 The remainder of the deal
includes the transfer to the Canadian Pacific
Of oI~,-half OF the stock OF the 500" for
which one-haIf of the sum that the
$500 syndicate had invested in the
roads was paid, leaving the lat
tor in control OF half interest
The preferred stock of the roads in the hands
Of the Canadian Pacific is also replaced by
an equal amount of common stock. 1t is in
tended to make IA through line from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic via Minneapolis There
are two methods of connecting the system
with the Pacific coast The first would be
by the construction of a line to the northeast
from Bismarck TO connect with the Northern
Pacific. Tie other would be to build an en-
tire now line through new country. The
general offices Of the new company will re-
main in Minneapolis and no change in the
officers of the road will be made for some
time at least.

A COLORADO MYSTERY.

Murder of u Seven-Year-OId Millionaire
Apparent by Somebody Unknown.
CoLoRADo SPRINGS, May 4-The inquest
ON tue bodies of Mrs. Kearney and her 7-year-
old grandson, James Hand, found on the
ranch near Edgerton, few days ago, result
ed in n verdict that the deceased came TO
their deaths from blows with n hatchat in
the hands of party or parties unknown.
BY whom the crime was committed is the
mystery which now confrOnts the officials
The house has tue appearance of having been
ransacked, but 1t is thought that
Mrs. Kearney had but little money or valua-
bles in the house Vague hints are thrown
out that motive for the crime could be
found in the family itself, between the Hands
and the Kearneys, There has always been a
bittor feud, which was the outgrowth of a
death under suspicious circumstances seven
years ago. 1t is said that the boy would
have come into II fortune upon reaching his
majority
1t is certainly one of the most peculiar
crimes committed in Colorado, and brings to
light many things almost forgotten in con-
nection with the people. The father of the
murdered boy died suddenly in this city some
years ago from an overdose of morphine.
His wife was a beautiful woman and is to
day studying to appear on the operate stage.
When Mr.. Hand died he left great part of
his fortune to the murdered boy, but left it
in caro- of "A Philadelphia trust company and
only small allowance has been given Mrs
kearn0y annually for the support of the
child. Now it appears that at the time of the
murder there was third party in the house
with her and the boy. That this person com
mitted the crime there can be no doubt. All
ppearances indicate that this visitor went to

to the assistance of the boy and was then
