PRESIDENT WAIT.
The G. H. V. & T. Railway Again
Changes Hands, the Shaw
Management Being
Displaced.

The Columbus, Hooking Valley
and Toledo railroad has again
changed hands President John W.
Shaw rendered his resignation as
president and director, at New
York saturday. and was at once
succeeded by z. G. Waite, formerly
vice president and general manager
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton railway. The new manage
ment is approved by both bond
holders and stockholders. Arrange
nents have been mado to pay the
September interest on the 5 per
cent, consolidated bonds, amount
ing 10 over 100000, which falls
due today. President Shaw agreed
to secure the designations of w. p.
and w. N. Scott from the directory.
The new president, Mr.. Waite.
left New York Saturday and will
be here TO take charge of the pro.
perty tomorrow. Mr. Waite is a
successful and energetic railroad
man and will be valuable addition
to the list of prominent railroad
mon of this city. He is son Of
ex Chiet Justice Waite. His edu
cation in the railroad business IS
most thorough, embracing not only
the financial but the operating de-
partments. He went on the road as
fireman and learned to handle an
engine skiIlfully. In 1877, when
he was superintendent of the Gin
cinnati aud Muskingem Valley di
vision of the Panhandle, he ran an
engln into Cincinnati when the
road was blocked by tho great
strike. He was vice president of
tho Erie when his brother-in law,
Mr.. Jewett, was at the head of the
system. Mr.. Waite was afterward
vice president and general manager
of tho Cinc,pnuti, Hamilton and
Dayton railway, which position he
resigned only few months ago. 1t
is anticipated that there will be
number of changes on tho Hooking
Valley under the now management.
Great confidence in Mr. Waite is
expressed by railroad men. He
was educated on the Pennsylvania
system and has the benefit of asso-
citation with such men as Jewett
and Caldwell.
The change in the management
of the Hooking Valley has given
rise to many runners AMI conject-,
ures. One is that the road is to
become a part. with the Scioto VAL
ley railroad, of Big Four system.
Such an arrangement would give
the Scloto VslIey such an entrance
into Columbus which it has never
been able to obtain. 1t now reaches
the city via the Panhandle What
over the best change many signify,
it is believed the best interests of
The road only are considered.
None of the Hooking Valley offic-
ere have anything to say at present.
The change was almost unexpected
and caused great surprise.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

First-The Democracy of Ohio, il
convention assembled. approve tn,
declaration Of principles made by tn,
national Democracy in St. Louis il
1888. and especially that part Of it de-
manding reduction of tariff taxes. We
will continue the battle for tariff re-
form until the cause of the people Is
triumphant
Second-We regard trusts, in what.
ever form organized, as the legitimate
result OF onr present tariff sys.em, and
we demand the repeal of all ia if taxes
that enable them to extort from the
people exorbitart prices for the pro-
ducts they control.
1hird-We again acknowledge the
great debt of gratiluda the nation owes
to the heroes of the late war, and we
declare in favor o: just, liberal and
equitable pension laws.
Fourth-We denounce the Republic
can administration for its repeated Vi
olation of lis pledges in behalf of civil
service reform.
Fifth-We denounce the present
State administration as the most partl-
san, demoralizing and extravagant in
our history. We invite the careful in
vestigation Of all citizens into our
financial affairs as shown by the offici-
al records.
Sixth : We protest against the. re-
peated enactment of laws vesting the
appointing power in the Governor. en-.
abling him to control the local boards
of our leading cities. While depriving
them of self government, it constructs
vast political machine that is at all
times dangerous, and in the hands of a
partisan chief executive has become a
positive menace to the people of the
State.
Seventh-Tha nomination of the
Governor of Ohio for q third term, in
violation of all precedent, by the noto-
rious and disgraceful use of patronage
at his command, is an outrage against
the people and sheuld be rebuked at
the polls.
Eighth-We heartily favor home rule
in Ireland; We demand it also for Ohio.
While favoring all laws that sacredly
protect the ballot box and the honest
voter, we demand the enactment of
laws that willtenabe our cities to choose
their own servants and control their
own affairs.

IT is very plain that the eyes ol
the nation are upon Ohio. In no
other state will the campaign excite
half theslnterest. Although Ohio
is In the list of Republican state
the impression is abroad that the
Democrats have Il good fightin .
chance to carry il this year. Perhaps
no political platform ever before
aroused so great degree of en-
tbusiasm in any party as the Day
ton platform, crisp and courageous,
has stirred up IN the Democracy
throughout the United States.

Tribute to Judge Whitman.

Editor Sentinel:
News comes to US from Gin
cinnaii of the death of Judge Ii
G. Whitman. Who of us of mid
die aye does not remember th'
long haired judge-the erect fls-
CURE, judicial bearing, reaching
eye and measured tones
The writer is one of this num-
Der. and 10 him Judge Whitman
was the beau ideal or embodi-
ment of all that goes 10 make W
the just judge, or for that matter
the perfect man.
Add 10 the long hair falling
over the shoulders and down the
back, the black gown of the En-
glish Chancellor. or the Roman
Toga, and the judicial ermine il
complete.
The story goes that the han
escaped the barber's shears in
fulfillment of a pledge made or
the chances of some favorite can
dldate; vet, be that as it may, il
detracted not but rather added
lustre to our hero.
Unlike Sampson, his strength
lay not in his locks. He was
pre-eminently a gentleman oil
the old school. whether on The
bench or at the bar, and in his
intercourse with his fellow men
he was always the same urbane,
dignified gentleman and scholar,
with legal attainments of the
highest order, ability and honesty
unquestioned, he left the bar of
this district to take front rank
among the legal luminaries of
the metropolis of our State, and
his mantle fell upon a line Of
Judges well worthy 10 follow in
his footsteps.
He was on the bench in thl.
district at a time when it was al
most worth a judges life to de-
eide against the popular opinion,
yet Judge Whitman never moved
from the line Of. his just convic-
tion. Through all the exciting
incidents of the celebrated See
murder case in Fairfield county,
he never hesitated IN his rulings.
and on the Primmer murder case
in our own county, he was the
only Judge ever to pronounce the
sentence of death upon a Grimm.
al in this district.
He was noted not alone for
his correctness but for his dis
patch of business in the courts.
The wordy witness was admor-
ished-the lazy lawyer goaded
drOwsy officer aroused
everybody moved in his court.
He received the nomination
for place on the Supreme Bench
Of our State, bu. fell at the hands
Of his political enemies.
And so il is but meet that we
should pay a passing tribute 10
The memory and virtues of one
who left lasting impress on all
who knew him. LEX.

Two Murderers PRAYING.

wM. BRIGGS PROCESSES CONVERSION AND JOINS
GREEN, HIS FLLLow-coNvICT, IN PRAYER.
Rev. Messrs. Roberts and Walker visited the
jail yesterday and spent long time In singing,
prayer, and conversation with VIM. Briggs, who
on Saturday last was sentenced, in the Criminal
Court, to be hanged on April 5 next for the
murder of VIM. Jones. The result was that
Briggs, who on Sunday last refused even to
leave his cell to look out at the religious meet
ing in the rotunda, attended to all they
said to him, and commenced to pray for him
self. After they had left he continued in
prayer, and about 7:50 o'clock professed CONVEX
sion, and from that hour until nearly o'clock
this morning he continued his devotions. In
conversation with some of the guards he said
that he had prayed before his trial for a YER
dict of mansaughter. but was now entirely
satisfied. and was perfectly ready to die, and
cared not if they took him to the gallows at
once. He expressed during the evening de-
sire to see Brother Green" who was SEN
fenced Saturday to be hanged at the same
time for the murder of Jas. Lucas (the broom
drill homicide). The request was complied
with, and going to Green's cell they clasped
hands through the bars and prayed for some
time. Before retiring Briggs requested one of
the guards to stand at his cell. and he offered a
long and fervent prayer for him.
