A High Kicker's Conundrums

A Rock Island correspondent of the
Inter- Ocean makes vigorous kick
against the ring which is dominating the
G. o. p. in Illinois. He declares tina,
the discerning intelligence of the party
recognizes that if the Tanner ring is not
sat down upon defeat at the next state
election is inevitable" After the de,
claration, the high kicker" propounds
the following conundrums, not one of
which has yet been satisfactorily an
swered:
Suppose the democratic party deter
mines that j. M. Palmer shall be their
standard bearer in the next senatorial
contest. and he concludes to make can,
vass as Stephen A, Douglas did, where
is our Abraham Lincoln TO come from to
lead US to victory?
Why pirate about civil service reform
when such men as Gsrvin and Mitchell
are removed without cause to make room
for men that may do the bidding of the
bosses?
Why talk about transfusing new blood
into the grand old party vein, when such
old chronics as Dan Hogan and T. B.
Needles are appointed to or promised TO
be appointed to fat positions when all
the work they ever did was to hold Of
nee and draw pay from their party, state
or nation. What blood-stained battle
field was Tom Needles ever in, and where
are the wounds that Daniel Hogan re-
ceived in defense of his country? Oh,
shame! have you no blush to talk of re-
form and inspiring the voter while max
ing such appointments?

Hertz and q small knot OF spectators were in
the room The verdict was read in slo~ and
impressive tones.
1.-THE first six paragraphs AFFIRM the belief of
1 the jury that Cronin was murdered as the re-
9 alt Of a conspiracy, and recite the finding of
ne body, ETC. The verdict then proceedsl:
I've have carefully inquired into the re-
litions sustained by said Cronin to other per-
sons while alive, to ascertain If he had any
cause Of enmity with any person sufficient to
cause his murder.
SIT is our judgment that no other person
or persons except some of those who are or
had been members of a certain secret society
known as United Brotherhood" or "Clan- ma
Gael, had any cause to be instigators or ex-
e;utors Of such plot or conspiracy to murder
sllid Cronin.
S.-Many of the witnesses testifying in the
case have done SO with much evident unwill-
ingness and, as we believe. with much mental
,servation. We find from the evidence
that a number of persons were par
ties to this plot and conspiracy to
urder the said Cronin, and that Daniel
Coughlin, Patrick O'Sullivan, Alexander Sui
Ivan, and one Woodruff, alias Black, were
e Their principals accessories, or had guilty
knowledge of said plot and conspiracy to muir
d n said Cronin and conceal his body, and
they should be he'd to answer to the grand
jury.
We also believe that other persons were en-
gagged in re plot, or had guilty knowledge of
IL, and should be apprehended and held to the
rand jury.
We further stat that this plot or conspir-
asy, in its conception and execution is one of
the most foul and brutal that has ever come
to our knowledge, and recommend that the
proper authorities offer a large reward for the
d scovery and conviction of all of those en-
gIged in it in any way.
We further state that, in our Judgment, all
81 cret societies, whose objects are such as the
eNidenc shows that of the Clan-na- Gael or
United Brotherhood to be. are not in har-
mony with, and are injurious To, American in
situations.
