can, II they choces, rstaliste severely upon
the Democracy, who In Michigan last
wintsr passed law providing for the
election Of presidential electors BY con-
eressional districts instead Of by gen
eral ticket. This Democratic trick
e now called .Michiganixing'' . state
just ~ "gerrymandering : state" means
repeating another Democratic trick first
committed by Eibridge Gerry in Massa-
chusetts in 1872, who was candidate for
vice president on the ticket with Madison
that year. The Democrats changed the
method Of choosing electors In Michigan
to gain few presidential electors for the
Democrats. OF course II the same change
was made in all the states at the same
time no fault would be found, but to make
the change in one state only was q char
acteristic Democratic dirty trick on the
people Of Michigan and the Republican
party. The temporary advantage gained
by the Democrats in Michigan has warned
the people Of Ohio and Iowa that the cleo
ton of another Democratic legislature
means .'Michiganizing" these states and
steal of the larger part of :ts electoral
vote, no matter what the popular vote
may be. II the Democrats gain control of
the legislatures of those two states they will
probably pass laws giving to the
congressional districts the right Of chos-
ing presidential electors, and will then
gerrymander the districts SO that the
Democrats can elect q majority Of the
electors, no matter how large the Republic
can majorities on the popular votes in the
states may be. Such bill was intro
duced into the present Democratic legisla-
ture Of Ohio, but il was not acted on because
another legislature had to be elected be-
fore the presidential election and if it was
Republican the law was sure to be re-
pealed. If the Republicans should happen
to carry New York in November they
would be in position to retaliate by
"Michiganizing" that state. Probably
they would not use their opportunity un-
less the Democrats persisted in michigan
izing" every Republican state of whose
they may come into transient
possession. The legislature at its meeting
in January would be able to form pretty
correct estimate of the drift Of New York
sentiment for 1892, and if it was Demo-
cratic "Michiganizing" New York would
more than make up to us the Michigan
izing" of Michigan.

Sought Revenge After Twelve Years.

It 10 over twelve years since Henry Massey, q
Russian Finn, in cold blood and without provo
cation, murdered young man by the name OF
Lawrence. The crime was one OF the most
atrocious which ever stained the annals OF
Jefferson county, and was for long time the
subject of general comment on account of its
bloody details The scene of the murder was
the Cosmopolitan hotel. That house was

came in one day, and laying q dollar
on the bar called for q drink. If the
murderer actually showed his money 1t mys-
teriously disappeared. He taxed Lawrence with
Its theft and the latter yehemently denied the
allegation. From words the two men came to
blows, transferring their quarre. to the sidewalk
Massey overpowered Lawrence and stabbed him
in fourteen different places Lawrence fingered
only . few moments and died. His assailant
was locked up in the county Jail and charged
with murder He broke out of prison, escaping
to Victoria. There he was again arrested and
confined He made . knife from wood and
attempted to stab the TALLER in order to escape.
The knife, however, did not penetrate the
clothing and the jailer escaped unframed.
Massey was brought back here and tried, being
found guilty of granddaughter and sentenced to
fourteen years imprisonment He was par
donsd about two years ago and has been
wandering about the country ever since. Ed
Hickman was city marshal at the time of
Massey's arrest, and Ben Miller was sheriff.
The Finn swore vengeance to both of them, as
well as to Hunt, at the time Of his conviction.
He threatened that when he got out Of prison
he would make 1t warm for all who had any
thing to do with his conviction. Some three or
four days ago he turned up In this city for the
purpose, so he claimed himself, OF carrying out
his threat, made years ago. Yesterday he was
arrested and taken before Police Justice Rohde.
The latter, after hearing the evidence, bound
him over In the sum of $500 to keep the peace.

"They pay us when their frank young love

Don't think it's so? Well, now, you wait and
