Execniinn m Madrid.

Thirty thousand inhabitants Of Madrid,
mostly women, assembled recently outside
the great prison walls opposite the scailOld
upon which a woman was % be executed.
According 10 Spanish custom, this was done
hy strangulation. The criminal sits ON a
wooden bench before post. agains, which
the neck is pressed and broken boy an iron
collar. This execution excited tremendous
interest i'm all classes Oi society, and parlicu-
larry among the lower orders. Many were
dissatisfied with the sentence because 10 was
believed that this servant girl had not been
alone in the murder Of her aged mistress.
She confessed her share IN the crime, but
accused another woman, who was SEN
fenced 10 penal sgrltudc, with being tho
principal actor in the tragedy. Madrid pa
pers on this occasion gave vivid de,crip-
lions of the horrors Ofthe present system by
which "a convict is shut up for thirty hours.

fate. I'm this ease the woman had 90 Dee

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

The precinct meetings which were held
in this city Thursday night TO nominate
delegates TO the Congressional Convention,
were not only very well attended, but
owing TO the very general interest felt IN
the Congressional nomination. on account
Of the importance of the Congressional cleo
tions in the fall, there was larger atten-
dance Of representative citizens Of every
class than has been Witnessed for a long
time. II is only when the attendance Is OF
this character that the precinct meetings can
be properly considered an approximately
fair and free method OF selecting delegates.
80 far the utmost good feeling has pre-
vailed between the supporters Of the diiler-
ent candidates, and this feeling should be
maintained until the end. What the
mass of the Democratic party in
this district is demanding is the
nomination Of the man who is shown
Enthusiastically 10 combine in himself the
most numerous elements Of strength. En-
FILTERED rlyalries between the candidates
would excite not the slightest sympathy In
the public mind, but would be condemned
without reserve. IL is a cause for cOngrat-
ulation, therefore, that the canvass is pro-
ceeding upon plane OF generous rivalry,
and upon this plane IL should be continued
To he carried on. Any other course would
signify only the ruin OF the candidates
whose names have been most prominently
mentioned In connection with the nominal
tion, for II would inevitably lead To the
nomination OF some candidate whose name
has not been preached 40 far, but who
would be brought forward " heal any w.

changed by rich vegetation that grows

II is coincidence not unworthy OF nole
that the news is telegraphed all over tine
country on the same day that the health OF
those two great leaders Of their respective
parties Blaine and Cleyeland-Was never
in better condition. ''The walking and
rowing Of Mr.. Cleveland" so the account
runs. "tire out his companions, and his
staying powers under exhaustive exercise
causes general comment This iniorma-
ton will bee the source Of pleasure to the
whole American Democracy. who are again
prepared TO lay upon the broad shoulders OF
the ex-President these duties of national
administration which he performed during
his term of Office with so much ability and
conscientiousfess Mr.. Blaine's recent
course has been 80 honorable TO himself
and so useful to the American people that
even his political opponents are highly
eratiiicd that the cares Of official position
have not diminished his physical strength.
