FOR THE SENATE.

Heretofore the REVIEW has said many
things favorable for the various candi.
dates for the United States senate; and
without retracting or qualifying its ex-
pressed views of the ability and fitness
of the various gentlemen who seek sena-
torisl honors, II espouses the cause Of
Spokane Falls, and favors the election Of
the candidate which the members of the
legislature In this part of the state have
selected as their standard bearer in the
coming contest. The wisdom of electing
q representative man from tho center OF
the most important portion Of Eastern
Washington Is at once apparent to all
The members of the legislature from
Spokane county have carefully consid.
cred the interests involved in the impend.
contest, and have decided to give their
unanimous support to Hon. IS, c. Hyde
of this city.
Those who know Mr.. Hyde best can
not doubt the wisdom of their selection
For many years 1t has been a recognized
fact that his talents and influence would
some day place him In high position
among the counselors Of the state or
nation. Not until he received the sup
pOIt OL utb uVilC tucHiDcEo WOutu Sou-
sent to be a candidate for senatorial
laurels. He is now in the field and his
friends and neighbors do the state honor
by giving him their support. II Eastern
Washington should be favored by hav.
ing Mr.. Hyde as its senator he will not
only do creditablc work for the constitu-
ency he represents, but will be honored
in the councils Of the nation as man oi
good Judgment, strong intelligence and
feryeiit patriotism. For many years he
has had the reputation of being an elo'
ouent advocate at tho bar-a quality
which we'll applied can be used with
great force In tho senate. He Is one Ol
the early settlers In this territory, and
derives much of his popularity from the
people with whom he has labored sc
many years for tho new state. which is
about to be proclaimed part of the
Union.
These considerations have had weight
with the legislative delegation from spo
kane county. The REVIEW believes they
will have influence with those Of othel
counties Of Eastern Washington.

There is very little difference in the con-

BETRAYED TO THE LAW.
Trial and Conviction of Hatfield
Messer, Mounts and the Mayhurns.


A great hue and cry was raised in
West Virginia over the kidnapping of
indicted desperadoes. Governor Wilson
applied for a writ of habeas corpus. The
case came up for hearing before n federal
judge at Louisville. After stubbornly
fought legal contest, the prisoners were
remanded to Pike county for trial. The
habeas corpus case was appealed to the
United States supreme court, which tri-
bunal affirmed the decision OF the lower
court. ...
Learning that as a last resort body
of West Nirgnians were coming over to
release the prisoners, a strong guard was
placed about the Pikevillc jail, and for
days nearly every man in town carried
his Winchester ready to repcl the liber-
ators should they attempt to carry out
their threats.
ON TRIAL.
The cases were called in September O f
this year. Eminent counsel had DeGn
