AND NOW THERE Is THE prospect that, in
the event of the passage of the Elections
bill, the Southern Legislatures will refuse
To make appropriations for exhibits at the
Worlds Fair in 1894. The theory upon
which they proceed is that the operation
Of the law will bring about condition of
affairs under which it would be idle to in
yite population or capital within their
borders, no matter what material induce
ments they presented. They religiously
believe that the execution Of the law will
lead to disorder and violence, depression
values, and a decentralization Of industry
and commerce. They remember that,
during the ten stormy years of recon-
struction, capital and enterprise avoided
the South as though 1t were stricken with
a plague, and they feel sure that an eX-
actly similar state of things will follow in
this case. They intend to resist and OBJ
struct the operation Of the law, and fully
understand that such resistance will in
Volye them in very unfortunate and de-
plorable difficulties At the same time II
is quite natural that, believing as they do,
they see no good likely to result from
making exhibits at Chicago, and hesitate
to appropriate money and organize effort
60 an end which circumstances will render
impossible. 1t is not the least unfortunate
consequence of this disastrous partisan
struggle that it thus tends 10 cripple q
demonstration which was intended Ia
illustrate the happiness and prosperity OF

that all of the evil forebodings of the New
York SIN about HILL as n Senatorial can
didatc for the White House shall be real
igcd II has already had one go at HILL,
and to-day it takes another, commenting
uIon an editorial expression quoted from
the Si0i, in which that paper refers TO
new difficulties in llIL's path to pro-
motion.
TnE Critic has led all the papers i'm
recognizing the superior availability of
Senator GoRlIAN. II was not difficult to
lead the SVa because that otherwise excel
lent paper is 20 blinded by its rancor
against CLEVELAND as to be unable to take
1t calm and clear survey of the situation.
The S,W has not been able until TlW
CHTIc suggested GoRMNN, to think of any
rival for Mr.. CLEVELAND except Governor
HILL, and 1t thought Of him only be-
cause It knew him to be an enemy.
Now, however it is everywhere adj

The ablost but the most eXpedicnt candi-
date among Democrats. Papers which,
two months ago. had not thought of him,
are to-day filed with GoRMAN's praises.
As matter of fact, HILL is not in it. He
is not strong in the West where his tariff
views are not welcome and his silver
views are not known. He is even weaker
in the South, except here and there, with
papers like the Atlanta Constitution, which
are always at odds with public sentiment
in that section CLEvELANDis little less than
popular idol, and il would be worse than
foolish to propose as his antagonist before
the convention of 1892 man whom the
Southerners regard as CLEvELANp's
.IupAs. The fact is that the Southern
delegates will be for CLEVELAND
first and, whilst they may be
eventually induced to drop him
in view of his heresy as to silver, they will
do so only in favor of some aspirant who
is thoroughly acceptable both as to silver
and the tariff. They would require, be-
side, that the nominee should be free of
any past enmities against CLEVELAND and,
therefore, acceptable to his friends in New
York and elsewhere. Thusit appears that
Governor HILL would not meet the re-
Qniremcnts of the Western or the South

1r is JUST as absurd for Democrats to
complain of Vice-Presidcnt MoRroN's
partisan rulings" as it is for Republicans
TO denounce Senator GoRNAN and his CO.
adiutors because they obstruct the passage
of the Force bill. The struggle is purely
partisan ON both sides. The Republicans
believe mistakenly in our opinion, that
the operation Of the proposed Elections
law will be to their advantage, and the
Democrats, very naturally, are using every
possible means to prevent the enactment,
There is no earthly reason why Mr.. Nor
TON should not rule in favor of his party,
so long as he does not rule against justice
and morality. Neither is there any reason
why Senator GoRMAN and the Democrats
should not fight the measure with every
weapon in reach. But there is every
reason why both sides should stop this
idiotic talk about the infamy of u Repub-
lioan's refusing to help the Democrats,
and rice rersd. In its present stage, which
is merely preliminary, the battle
is simply for the right of the
majority to call halt in debate.
It does not follow that If this right should
be won the Elections bill will necessarily
become q law. There are Senators OH the
Republican side who believe that the ma
joriiy should have it in their power to

proposition very difficult to gainsay), but
who do not favor and will not vote for the
Elections bill in its existing form. The
passage of the bill, therefore, is by no
means an inevitable result of the adop-
tion of the eloture resolution, though of
course, it would render that consumma-
tion probable. Meanwhile Mr. MoRroN is
not monster because he rules in favor of
measure intended to benefit his party,
nor is Mr.. GoRMAY a wretch because he
antagonizcs what he believes will result
in injury to his All that sort OF talk is
mere empty gabble, and should stop.

Associated Press Dispatches.

RENO, New, Sept. 19-Ortiz, who
shot Officer Nash Friday morning, was
taken from the county jail late last night
by one hundred or more determined
men and hanged to the iron bridge.
Ortiz met his death coolly.
Last night about 10 o'clock it was
plain to be seen that was going to hap
pen. Prominent citizens were missed
from their usual haunts. About IL :45 a
hundred or more men were seen coming
down First street preceded
by an advance guard, who
stopped every pedestrian they
met and ordered him back. The
men comprising the committee were all
disguised by having handkerchiefs tied
across their faces. The mob crossed the
iron bridge toward the court house,
leaving guards at either end OF the
bridge. They quietly filed into the cor
ridor leading to the jail, where several
raps attracted the attention of Under
Sheriff Coughlin, who expecting nothing
unusual, opened the door and was at
once covered by half dozen or more
revolvers. The deputy sheriff at first
seemed inclined to show fight, but find
ing himself at so great disadvantage,
INQUIRED what was wanted. He was
seized by half dozen men and told to
give up the keys to the Jail. He re-
fused, when they were taken from his
pocket, and while the under sheriff was
held, the advance guard unlocked the
cell occupied by Ortiz and he was told
to get up, that he was wanted down
town.
"All right" replied the culprit. When
he was led from the Jail to the iron
bridge, he was asked if he had anything
to say. He replied: 81 would like a
glass OF water and priest"
He then gave names and told where
his relatives resided, and requested that
they be written to, but not telling them
the manner of his death. He was in
formed that priest was not present,
but was given drink of water, also a
flask of whisky, which he drank eagerly.
His feet and hands were quickly tied,
rope was thrown over a crossbeam OF
the bridge, and at the command Haul
away" he was soon suspended between
heaven and earth, and in few moments
life was extinct. The committee then
quietly dispersed and went to their re-
spective homes.
Coroner Piers and Undertaken Sand
ers cut the body down at an early hour
this morning, and now nothing remains
to be done but hold an inquest and bury
the remains.
Ortiz was a bad character and the
lynching is approved of by some of the
best citizens. The town is very quiet,
today, everything moving along as
usual.
