THE VICTORY IN MICHIGAN.
Bigger Than It Looked Little While
Back.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Frank II.
Hosford, Secretary of the Democratic
State Central Committee of Michigan
has arrived here for the winter, and
gives to the Evening Critic interesting
facts about the results of the recent
election in the Wolverine State. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Hosford, the Demo-
Gratis have gained much more there
than is generally supposed. He says
they have elected nine Of the eleven
Congressman, and that this number
will be increased to ten when the Fifty
second Congress Gusts Julius Caesar
Burrows OF Kalamazoo. According to
Mr.. Hosford's statement, it seems quite
likely that this action will be taken.
Mr.. Burrows, he says, has plurality
on the face of the returns Of about POO.
His competitor, George L. Yaple, who
defeated him fer reelection to the
Forty-eighth Congress, will contest
the election on the ground that more
than 200 negroes were brought over the
Indiana line and voted for Mr.. Bur-
rows. This claim, it is said, can be
easily proved, and, if so, the calliope
voice of the gentlemen from Kalama-
ZOO, who is leading member of the
Ways and Means Committee, will not
be heard in the new Congress.
Mr.. Hosford says that the Demo-
Gratis have elected their candidate in
the upper peninsula district, although
it was generally supposed that he was
defeated. The upper country" as it
is known in Michigan, is the mining
region of the south shore of Lake Su-
perior and has always been the strong
hold of Republicanism and the place
where the G. o. P. always got the big
majority that offset the Democratic
gains in the lower part of State.
The real Importance of the Demo-
cTallc VICTORIES IN michigan, however,
Mr.. Hosford says, lies in the fact that
the Democrats having carried the coun-
ties and the Legislature, will at once
proceed to redistrict the State and pave
the way for the easy election of a DEM
ocratic Legislature in 1892, which will
promptly elect Don Dickinson Senator
to succeed Stockbridge. The programme
which the Democrats have marked out
provides also Mr.. Hosford says, for re-
firing Senator James Mcmillan in
1895, and sending in his place the elo-
quent young tarif.smashing advocate
Yaple, who is to get Mr.. Burrows's
seat in the next House.

Two Big Pensions.
From the Washington Star

from the washington Star.
One Of the biggest pension allowances
made to disabled private soldiers of the
war of the rebellion has recently been
secured by John Jones of the town of
Richfeld, n. Y. Jones belonged to a
New York regiment of volunteers. Re
claimed pension on the ground that
at the battle of Charlottesville the ex-
ploslon of muskets or cannon caused
Inflammation of his eyes, which has
since terminated in total blindness.
He is allowed S72 month during life,
with SI5,s06.27 back pay.
A pension allowance only trihe less
in amount has been awarded to another
blind veteran Of the ranks-Henry
Wrighter, Of the town of Windsor,
n. Y. He served in Pennsylvania
regiment, and while on long march
suffered suns,roke, which caused total
blindness. He has been awarded s15,-
$50 arrears and S72 a month. The
vete'an has a passion for horses, and
his first move after getting the check
for bis back pay was 10 pay s.; 500 for a
farm and then to stock it with twenty
two horses and fourteen sets of harness
at a cost of nearly as much more.

THE LONE "LYNcHER" CONVICTED
Case of David Ready, Who Tied Negro to
Tree and Blew His Head OFF,
Especial to News and Courier I


BARNWELL, S. c., November H.
The jury brought in compromise YER
dict of manslaughter against David
Ready, after being in the jury room
from about 10 o'clock on Saturday
morning until they agreed on verdict.
The jury stood six to six between ac-
quittal and conviction. The prisoner
was remanded for sentence.
THIRTY YEARS IN THE PESITENTIARY.
BARNWELL, November 1S.-Ready's
sentence is thirty years at hard labor in
the penitentiary. The Judge said that
inasmuch as the jury had recommend
ed him to mercy he had been some
what puzzled to decide what weight he
ought to attach to itin passing sentence.
By their verdict the jury had said that
Ready was sane. Whatever weight
the recommendation might have with
the Governor, so far as he was co.,
cerned it was merely advisory and con-
ferred no legal rights on the prisoner.
He was under his oath of office to ad-
minister justice without fear and with
out favor. He was sorry that consist
emily with his conceptions Of duty he
could not regard the recommendation
The Legislature had fixed a maximum
punishment to the crime of manslaugh-
ter, and if ne were to address himself
to the task of conceiving a case involv-
ing circumstances calculated to induce
a recommendation to mercy he could
think of none with fewer mitigating
elements. is, therefore, considered
and adjudged, &c.
There will be an appeal to the Su-
preme Court. The motion in arrest of
judgment was overruled.
