A Republican Defined,

What is a republican, anyhows-l Peabody
Gazette.
Why, a republican is one who be-
lieves something, and believes it as
strongly in "off years" as he does when
the bands are playing in presidential
campaigns. He is honest and earnest
in his convictions, but tolerant toward
opponents. He doesn't keep his index
finger on the public pulse all the time
and get scared out of his boots every
time it beats irregularly. While the
good old party has its faults, like the
sun with its spots, and, as is human,
errs occasionally, he does not for this
reason deem it wise to join any old
party which is worse, OF any new party
which in the nature of things is not
likely to be any better. He kicks,
when bad men or corrupt methods com.
pei him to, but he doesn't sulk simply
and solely because in the lottery of pol
itics he or his friends drew a blank.
In word, republican is one of the
truest, bravest, best fellows you ever
saw Marion Record.

Tom Wilson expresses it as his opinion
that if the grand jury business con-
tinues thousand years longer, news

thing but biblical extracts, the Lords

Hills speeches while in the senate.

that the REFLECTOR and all connected
with it are liars, thieves, buns and
various other things. The Herald

every other week for the past two

that its readers do not believe it. If
after 104 consecutive reiterations the
statement is not credited, further re-

Kemmier's Execution.

Kemmler, the New York murderer, was
executed by electricity in the prison at Au-
burn, early Wednesday morning, and there
Is difference Of opinion among the wit
nesses as to whether or not the new meth
od Of capital punishment is any improve
ment upon The old. After tho witnesses
had assembled in the room, Kemmler was
breaght in and strapped to the chair, one
elcctrodc was applied TO the top of bis
head and the other to the base Of his spine.
and an electric current estimated at 1000
volts sent through bis body, when there
was a sudden convulsion and Rammler was
supposed to have been instantly killed, but
while the body was being unsirapped signs
Of life were discovered, and another cur
rent, estimated at COCO volts, was again
turned on and kept on till the electricity
burned a hole in the mans back.
lie was then dead sure enough, and the
physicians think he was instantly killed by
the first shock, and that the heaving of the
chest afterwards was due to the electricity.
Tho autopsy that followed the execution
convinced the doctors that the first eur
rent had paralyzcd the brain instantly.
The official report of the physicians has not
yet been made, but DI. Shrady, one Of
them, condemns this method of execution
on account of the necessary preliminaries
The doctors prepared the following pre-
liminary statement upon the result of the
autopsy:
We all agree that Inconsistencies was
instantly produced and death was appar-
emily painless, notwithstanding some slight
defect il. the electrical apparatus which re-
quired II second contact Of the current to
insure death Extensive charring of the
body at the points Of contact Of the cleo
trodes at seven hemorrhages in the serous
membrane and in the yentricles of the
brain. The blool was fluid and dark. In
the longitudinal sinus corresponding with
the region or contact the blood was car
bonized. There was dccid ed change in the
consistency and color OF the brain cores
ponding with point Of contact. Destructive
changes OF the blood corpus cles were not
ed.
