The affi1iation between the Democratic
party and the leaders of the Peoples
movement becomes more apparent every
day. Governor Campbell in an inter-
view speaks hopefully about PETER and
Simpson coming TO Ohio TO assist in the
campaign this fall, and Democrats gen.
orally are seen to wear smirk of satis-
faction as they announce that this OF
that county has determined to nominate
county ticket A prominent Alliance
leader only few days ago expressed
regret that the members of the Alliance
had taken steps to organize thirdpar
this year. Inasmuch as the only object
of the movement is the defeat of Major
Mckinley, he thought that end could
be more directly and expeditiously ac-
complished by. boldly joining with the
Democrats and voting for Campbell in
stead of working for him by the back
door route through the pretense Of
third party.
If any feel inclined to doubt that there
is not an actual coalition OF some kind
between the Democrats and the Peoples
party there are ample proofs not only
in the talk and actions of the Alliance
leaders, but in evidence OF the existence
ola treaty of some kind between the
two. organizations. The Chillicothe
Ltader, in proof of the fact that Demo.
Gratis are using the Peoples party for
their own benefit, publishes the follow
ing, which may look a little shady to
some of our Republican farmers, who in
their innocence and honesty think that
the movement is bona fide independent
one:

Merchants Protective Conundrum-Cus-
toners Will All Say Yes.
The question, Shall we give our GUS
toners turkeys at Christmas, has been
agitating the minds of the members of
the Merchants Protective Association for
weeks past. Thirty-five members signed
an agreement not to give presents of any
Kind, but two merchants refused, saying
it was their custom to give presents to
their customers. and they intended doing
it this year.
Last night the reg ular meeting of the
association was held in the Avenue
House and the principal subject of dis
cussion was that stated. The two objec-
tors won the fight, and as consequence
the members will send each of their GUS
toners Christmas - il the matter
doesn't happen to slip their minds in the
press of business.

Chancellor McGnl Spends . Day Zxyine
to Regulate the Supply.
Chancellor McGill held court yesterday
afternoon until six o'clock. It was one
Of the busiest days he has ever expert
enced. Vice Chancellor Van Fleet was

The most important case that came up
was the controversy between the Chicago
Gas Trust aud the Economic Company.

Shortly after the organization of the

deciding that the Trust was an illegal
corporation, the stockholders agreed to
abandon the Illinois corporation and
place the companies in the hands Of the

A new company was recently formed In
Chicago called the Chicago Economic Gas
Company and the persons owning the
Indiana gas properties made contract
with it to receive the natural gas in

e. G. Benedict and others filed bill In

restrain the Columbus Construction Conn

Legislature of Indiana has passed law
forbidding the taking of the gas from the
State and therefore 1t cannot be done
legally.
The answer of the Construction COM
pany was read by Mr.. James Vreden-

SING SING, Dec. 8, 1891.-The death
struggles of Martin d. Loppy in the cleo

1t is asserted that when the electric
current was first turned into
the murderer's body the doomed
man squirmed. gasped and
groaned in spasm of agony that caused
the spectators to shudder and turn away
their heads.
At the second contact Loppy's limbs be-
came rigid, the body stiffened and the
chest was inflated as If he
were taking long breath. When
the current was shut off for
the second time the body dropped, the
limbs became limp and the appearance
was one of general collapse.
This was followed by Kissing
sound, which some of the wit
nesses maintained was a distinct sigh,
but which the medical experts
asserted was due to the involuntary ex-
halatiou of air from the lungs.
The third contract was undoubtedly
the shock that killed the murderer, for
there was no collapse when the current
was turned off for the last time, the body
