PITTsBURG, Pa, March 15.-This
morning Frank Groettner, German

stepchild, a little girl aged eight years.

discovered in her bedroom by her
mother. The room presented most
horrible sight. The furniture. ceiling

child by the legs and dashed her brains
out. The little ones head was crushed
in and one arm was broken. Groettner

He refuses to give any reason for the
horrible deed. The little girls name

1t is believed that Gaertner is de-

cellar. after killing the little girl, he
contemplated suicide. His wife, the
mother of the murdered child, was ar
rested this afternoon. She refused
to say anything about the murder and
the police authorities thought it best to
lock her up. Her mind also shows evil

EDITORS JOURNAL lis it possible the
Board" have relented. or are they simply
exciting hopes that they may have the
hpleasure of nipping them? Surely it is
the latter, for the decree has gone forth
from the new Solons that we can do noth>

ing to appoint Executive Committeeman
How in the world can mass meeting be
talley sheeted? Can it be fairer than the
action of the 600 men who expressed their
choice by ballot Can it be more unani
nous? Won't the members be kicked out
again unless they have "yard-stick" about
them? Indeed their action is but the ex.
preston of despotic whim. The prima.
ry that elected Geo. Owens and Ben. Ham
by without opposition violated no rule OF
the Executive Committee tina: called that
primary. Nor did these gentlemen, like
Chairman Fardage, manage" their own
election, yet they got five or :six votes to
his one. A new method that where the
candidate is manager and also Judge OF
his election.
But Chairman Hardage says Dempsey
was nominated anyhow Well it took a
long time for him to get courage enough to
say so. Why didn't they so declare in the
first instance? Why throw out two OF
Powers districts without evidence? Mr..
Hardage may write a card to every paper
in the State but the action of his Board
shows that they knew they must get rid OF
Powers majorities and throw out the men
who would demand an investigation Of
other boxes. By the way who we're the
Power men who voted to throw out these
districts Isn't the Chairman in error?
Under the existing circumstances, OF
course Mr.. Hardage was not going to make
any fuss before the Board about the
charges against his own box. He says,
They were not brought before the COM
mittee." No man is so blind as he that
won't see. If the charges were untrue,
why didn't Mr. Hardage demand an inves.
tigation? 1t was easier to write a card
than defend them This is too evident for
discussion.

WHO NOMINATED HINT
ACwoRTH. Sept. Is. 189


Mr.. EDITOR In last issue of
JOURNAL, we find two communica.
tons rejecting somewhat upon the
newly elected Democratic commit
tee. AS member of that commit
tee, request you to please publish
the following response. Col. Power
says that ''the newly elected Execu-
tive Committee without investiga-
ton of alleged irregularities and
without authority, save that which
savors of assumption, threw out the
entire vote of two districts ana then
counted in the men whom they saw
proper to call the nominees" and
that che being the choice OF the
majority, as expressed by their bal
lots in that election, continues in
the race as the Democratic nomi-
nee." Now we affirm, that every
one who has taken the pains to in
vestigate, knows that B. Rainey and
A. g. Dempsey received a majority
of all the votes of the entire county.
the latter being three votes ahead
of Col. Power. Now, these are
facts, as true as figures can make
them but all men are not like fig
ures. We threw out the votes OF
the districts, not that we would
change the result, as Col. Power
insinuates, but because we were un-
willing to sanction such a mockery
in the shape of an election as the
one held in Marietta. We counted
in" the men already counted in ty
the majority votes of the county.
Who counted in Col. Power? Who
called him the Democratic nomi-
nee!" Mr.. Power did, whose &C.
ton is without authority? And
which savors most of assumption
AS to the other communication

the advent of another republican, it is
more important than ever, for the reason
that the race question will loom mp more

And the distinguished gentleman should
not hope to withdraw me from my legiti-

of the republican party, and to exert my

and solidify the democratic party upon

of our people. and the preservation of our

STAND TO TODD.

EDITORS MARIETTA JoURNAL:-WiIi you allow
a small space in your valuable paper to say few
things in reference to the late Senatorial Conyen-
ton Of Fulton, Cobb and Clayton, held in Atlanta
September 10TH 1t is charged upon tn delegates
from Cobb and Clayton by the friends of Mr. VEN
able, that they came TO the convention intendin0
to bu rst the convention from the beginning. As /
was one OF the number, can say that we had no
such Intentions. We went TO said convention be-
lieving, as we still believe, that Clayton county's
choice ought TO have been nominated without any
opposition at al as he came endorsed by all the
counties. He received all the votes in Clayton
except II, in Cobb, 1743, while Mr. Venable receiv
ed 343. In Fulton on the 10Th of July he was en-
dorsed by the mass meeting which the Constitution
states that there were present 1000 people and in
the primary recently held in Atlanta, Mr.. Vena-
BILE only received 922 votes out of voting popula-
ton Of about 1000. Cha yton's choice Mr.. Todd has
other claims upon the people. Clayton has not
furnished but one Senator in "a years and accord
ing TO the rotation plan entered into by the three
counties, IL was Clayton's time to furnish a sena-
tor. Now, Mr.. Todd is the nominee of the demo-
cratic party according to democratic usages, for
no delegates had right to seats while contested
until after the temporary chairman elected
and then he should appoint committee on the
same, but Mr.. Thomas, who perhaps had been
reading up on Tom Reed, decided that he the
temporary chairman and was the proper author
ity on credentials, and so ruled. Now we contend
ed for II hours that he had no right to make any
such rulings and after almost exhaustng our pa
thence, we decided that we would take the uncon-
tested delegates and organize the convention. AT
ter doing so, a committee creien tials was ap-
pointed and after due consideration they decided
TO seat the Fulton county mass meeting delegates
There being none present except Mr.. Taliaferro
he took his seat and the convention went into per-
manent organization and proceeded to nominate
senator and executive committee We done this
right in front Of the chairmans desk, and not at
side Of the room as has been published by the
Venable side. Now, think that q majority of
the better people in Fulton county win stand to
Clayton's choice and if the people of Cobb don't
stand square to Clayton, as Clayton did to Cobb
four years ago, Cobb need never expect To furnish
