The ADVERTISER begs to remind
the newspapers of the country that
iYr ne now famous case Of the ten
murderers Of Nance, there was a
Recommendation to mercy by the
jury which applies to each and
every n Of them, In the event
that there is no new trial there is
reason to believe that this recon-
mendation will have the effect
upon the governor that the jury
must have intended and therefore
the probabilities are at present
strongly against any Of the men
suffering death. We do not re-
call a case where any governor
has disregarded a recommendation
to mercy.

BACON GETS OPTIONS
On the Baltimore and ohio stock-Don't
Know Who II l. For

NEw YORK, February - President
John II. Inman, o! lie ...cnmOnd Ter
minal Company, made a statement yes
terday tending Il little to clear mp the
railroad situation, which has become 4
little mixed in some minds, principally
because 81 many people Interested in it
are all talking at once and all saying
conflicting things.
The announcement has been made
that Jay GOuld has IN opinion on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and Mr..
lnman has been quoted as authorizing
the statement. Mr.. lnman says
81 may as well say right of that |
have no option on Baltimore and Ohio.
Mr.. Gould may have. II be has | know
nothing OF it.
"About iye-eighthS Of Baltimore and
Ohio common stock. or about Ss,000,0 600
out of the Sl4. 900, 600, Is held in trust by
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company
as trustees for Il. X. Bacon, Robert Gar
rett & Sons and their associates. This
stock was put in trust June %, 1890, and
the trust expires July /. 1898. This
stock holds the control OF Baltimore and
Ohio. OF this stock the CARROTS own
$1,000, 900, Richmond Terminal Compa-
ny S4OO, GOO and the balance is held by
Sage. Pittsburg people, myself and one
or two others.
The fact is that L. l.. Bacon has
been securing an option on the purchase
of this trust stock. He applied to me
and ! gave him the option on the stock
controlled. do not know whether
he is acting for Mr.. Gould or not. IL is
true that Mr.. Gould has been adding TO
his holdings OF Richmond Terminal
stock. He held ut the time Of the cleo
ton 10000 shares. Within the last
three weeks hc has probably increased
his holdings to about 10000 shares.
General Thomas Hood holds about 40,-
600 shares.
1T is true that we have become more
aggressive toward Pennsylvania, but
this is because we want better facilities
and better rates. We might have had
them before If we had been more ag-
gressiye. 1t is true that Mr.. Gould has
beeen In conference with Pennsylvania
officials. Mr.. Frank Thomson rode
over to Washington with Mr.. Gould
when we left for the South. | think
the Pennsylvania is friendly disposed
and will give us what We want. This
subject. however, will come up next
week when Mr.. Gould gets here. lie
will be here by Saturday or Sunday,
and, after taking little rest, will feel
better"
Mr.. Bacon declines, of course, to say
in whose interest he is securing options
on the Baltimore and Ohio stock.
Those who think he does not represent
Jay Gould believe that he is doing it for
the Garrett family. The stock is
pooled anyhow, and probably could not
be secured until the pool expires by linn
itatiOn.

ed in the plan of organizing Il perma-

tee which shall operate in connection
with the Democratic clubs of the coun-
try. With proper effort he believes
such an organization would be nyalu-

matter, lac said: THE Democratic
clubs can render valuable assistance to
the various State organizations in the
fall campaign of this year. 1t is only
by concentrated effort that great po-
litical victories are won. and the forma-
tion of Democratic cubs, as suggested,
is long step tOwarts securing concen-
tration of action.
The success OF 1892 may largely de-
pend on the State elections which take
place this year, and therefore we ought
not for an instant TO lose sight OF the
importance of rendering all the help we
can To the Democratic State organlza-
tonS and the Democratic clubs. in con
junction with the Congressional Com
mittee, which ! believe will soon be
made permanent and can render the
