city and was asked to sign written appli-

name, residence, occupation. place Of occu-
patton, place Of birth. where he last voted,
whether married and residence Of wife and
family, the Judge demurred saying that II
any authority could be shown for request
ing that he would sign it. This story may
not be strictly correct, but it is not to be
wondered that an old citizen VINO was
well known should object to writing
out his biography in order to es-
tablish his right to vote. A good many

The finding of Sawtelle's head in the
State Of Maine is not absolutely conclu-
sive as to the place where the crime was
committed, but 1t has pretty strong
tendency to corroborate Sawtelle's state
ment that it was committed in Maine.
Without that piece Of evidence Sawtelle's
allegation would probably have made little
impression on the judges and their deci-
sion would undoubtedly have been that the
verdict of the jury must stand. But this
new evidence raises doubt and 1t is by no
means impossible that 1t may result In
overthrowing the New Hampshire trial
and turning Sawtelle over to the courts of
Maine. 1t is to be hoped that this will not
prove to be the case, for there is no occa-
sion for the slightest sympathy for the
murderer or desire that his crime may pay
less penalty than is prescribed by the
laws Of New Hampshire.

less reliable than those of the other candi-
dates. but good per cent of his stuck
through the seventeen ballots. Crisp led.
as was generally anticipated. but Mills
was good second and the support of 10th
manifested excellent staying qualities.
Undoubtedly all the candidates spent yes
terday bracing up their followers for
a renewal OF the struggle today. 1t is i'm
possible to predict the result at the time of
writing. but possibly this mornings des-
patches will throw some additional light
on the situation. 1t would be remarkable

The treasurer of Allen county, Ohio, has
just brought suit against Senator Brice to
compel the payment of $4,000 of back
taxes. The trial of this case ought to
throw some light on the question whether
the ralnbow stateman is an inhabitant of
Ohio or not. and therefore whether he is
entitled to sit in the Senate, for he can
hardly be enough of an inhabitant to rep.
resent Ohio in the Senate without being
inhabitant enough to pay taxes.
