EVERY RASCAL FOR HIMSELF

Democrats and Republicans all
over the State are asking why the
contest committee does not meet,
and why the Governor does not call
the session of the Legislature to set
tie the question Of who is Governor.
Ii has been one tissue of political
scheming from beginning to the
end, whenever that will be, if ever.
The contest committee was called to
meet in Wheeling two weeks ago.
The members have been hanging
around off and on, all within easy
call, but there has been no meeting
There will be three reports. one by
the two Republican members, one by
the Democratic members, and a
separate report by Mr.. Kee who diff

certain points. There's the hitch
The ring leaders are afraid of the

Golf out may be in not calling an
extra session and laying the blame
on the contest committee. That's
what the hangers on want.

FLEMINGsBURG, KY, Oct. ga
blooded mare and an OK at Cowan
Station, this county, were turned
into the same enclosure yesterday
morning. War commenced at once.
The mare used her heels and teeth
and the OK his horns. The dust
flew and the fight was terrible. All
efforts to part the cambatants were
futile until the OK finally gored the
mare in the neck, breaking off a
horn. The mare dropped dead and
the OK reeled over, dying from the
kicks and bites of his fallen enemy.

THE LONG AND SHORT OF 1T.

The prosecution of Mr.. Martin
Green created good deal of bad
feeling in political circles. The
discharge of Republican juror was
not understood by many and 1t
seemed as if the odds were against
him all around. He has been hard
political worker, and was no particu-
lar friend of the Democratic leaders.
The kind of evidence against him
savored strongly OF political antag-
onlsm. We are in favor of enforc-
ing the law and prosecuting the Of
tenders. In the last campaign the
party lines we're drawn at fever heat.
If there were violations of the law
both sides were in the pit. The
election was not run for the benefit
of M. V. B. Greene. He didn't
bring the money here from New
York and other political headquar-
tiers. He didn't dispense it il any
was dispensed. Re didn't demand
that the county must go 800 one
way or the other for his political
prestige and vindication. He made
no promises of federal appointments
or railroad positions with view of
corrupting honest voters. He didn't
scoop" colored men or pay them a
dollar day to pick walnuts. He
didn't rush to the rescue in Opequon
and forage over the mountain for
voters. He didn't run up bills for
demonstrations and intimidations.
But he paid the penalty for being
caught outside the pale of the law.
If he a hundred, than Dives mil
lion. So the better thinking classes
we'll knew. I" 1t would ruin u.s." sit
would involve half the workers of
the county" That's the just view
of it. A few dead beats crow over
their own moral funeral. But it is a
lesson we hope both sides will heed.
Let there be honest elections, and
if the county don't go 800 majority
there'll be no holes TO push Greene
through.

THE END WILL COME.

been proven to him by one OF the
ablest men ON his road that he al
lowed certain railroad employees to
work at elections and their railroad
pay went on,-work at the election
for German and the Democratic
ticket. 1t has been proven to him
that eleven of the railroad attorneys
in Maryland are German workers
and Democratic bosses, and in West
Virginia all the attorneys but one
are Democratic leaders. OF the
agents and sub officers ninety per
cent. are "my friend" Germans

do his bidding and that of his poll

a pity and a shame that such a
mighty corporation as that should
allow its property to be prostituted
to the base uses of politics and pub
lie men and would be statesmen
should be able to use their position
for political influence to the loss and
destruction of all business considera-

newspaper reporter. AN sorts of con.
lectures were set afloat aiming at people
high and low, and covering all the crimes
in the category. It is well known that
no arrest was made under this indict-
ment; therefore the culprit is not in the
city. 1t is also known that no
person connected with the Sheriff's
office LETT the city last night. At
least that is as good as known. There
fore the culprit is not near Los Angeles.
He is probably not in the State. There
are rumors afloat that some months ago
the Grand Jury brought an indictment
for some offense against one Harry
Armitage. This man was at one time
connected with Mike Nolan in the real
estate business, and he has the reputa-
lion of having done some pretty
slick work on some of his Gus
toners. Mr.. Nolan's name has never
been connected with these performances
of his partner. Armitage is reputed
to have had some relations of q business
nature with blind woman in this city,
who he is said to have left 81 500 the
poorer for having known him. A num-
Der of victims mourn the trust they put
| in Harry. Some months ago q great
fake story was RIM in morning paper of
this city which tried to make out that
Armitsge was the bold thief who broke
in the window of Hollingsworth, the
jeweler. on Spring street in the evening
when all the street was full of people and
made good his escape. That story was
all pure moonshine. Armitage never
committed that robbery. His methods
were not 80 risky and we're smoother.
1t is pretty we'll known that there is
paper out with peoples names on it
which they did not sign and that strong
suspicion rests on Armitage. His name
has not been heard in Los Angeles fol
months, He left here nearly a.year ago,
and the last heard of him was that he
was in Colorado. Within a few
days past Armitsge's name has been
heard on the lips Of people whose utter
snces and inquiries always mean some.
thing. 1t is pretty safe to guess, and tc
bet on the proposition, that the Grand
Jury want Harry Armitage, not for dia.
mond robbery but for forgery. He will
not be easily taken or even found.

A BIG BATCH.
Nine New Indictments Handed In
by the Crane Jury.

by the Grand Jury.
Yesterday morning the Grand Jury,
headed by the foreman, Major w. G.
Furrey, filed into Department One of the
Superior Court and laid before Judge
Cheney a batch of nine indictments.
Four of theee were against Henry w.
Edelman, and covered the same charges
under which be has for some time been
held. They are connected with the
fraudulent manipulation of county war
rants. These new indictments are un-
derstood to be made to cover defects al
legged to exist in the formalities followed
in drawing the previous indictments for
the same offense. The defendant was put
under bail in the penal sum of $500 for
each offense. Ben Edelman's name was
in three others of the indictments, and
they were in all respects the same as
those against his brother. The two
young men gave bail yesterday afternoon
at about O'Clock, with G. S. Dodge and
John Rodman as the sureties.
The eighth indictment is against A. A.
Montaf1o, the ex Auditor of the county,
and is also in connection with the same
ofense as that with which the Edelman's
are charged. 1t was very difficult to
learn the nature Of this indictment, for
the reason that up to q late
hour last night the bench war.
rant for the arrest of Montaf1o
had not been served on him. The bail
in this case is fixed at SO 1000. 1t may be
new case on some recently discovered
fraud, or 1t may be merely to cover de-
fects in the old indictments, as in the
cases against the two Edelmans. These
defendants, who were charged with
plundering the public treasury, are all to
be defended in the courts by the ablest
legal talent in the city. The cases will
be contested on every technically dis
coverable. The Grand Jury is fully
awake to this condition Of affairs, and the
members one and all are just as deter-
mined that there shall be no miscarriage
of justice 80 far as their acts
go. They intend a full investiga-
ton to be made into these offenses,
and VIII try to prevent their settlement
by means of legal bubbles. The matter
gains in interest at each turn of the
screws.
Nothing of definite nature could be
learned with regard to the ninth in
dictment. All sorts at conjectures were
in the air, but fixed fact was hard to
catch by any means known to plodding
