At the September Sessions Of Lawrence
county of last year the indictments against
W. d. Wallace, Esq. of the Lawrence
County Bar, for bribery, and Messrs Tate,
Downing aud Shaffer for receiving b<ioes
were ignored. An investigation followed
and Judge McMichael ordered the cases to
be again brought before the grand jury at
December term, and appointed Attorney
Gardner as a special prosecutor or Dis
trict Attorney for these cases.
The December Grand Jury returned true
bills in all the cases, and they came up for
trial the following week.
Wallaces case was the first on the dock
ct AMI he was put on trial. His attorneys
were careful as to the selection of the jury
and admission of evidence, and fought
hard for him at every step. 1t was proved
that Wallace met the delegates at the time
and place named, but when the delegates
were placed on the stand and asked the
question oDid you receive money from W..
ID. Wallace for voting for Alexander NC
Dowellfv r. or words to that effect, they re-
fused to answer on the grounds that tnelr
answers would criminate themselves.
They were instructed by the Court that
their answers could not be used against I
themselves, but they presisted in their re-
fusals and were committed to jail by Judge
Hazen for contempt of Court. Next morn
| ing they were brought into Court and
again given an opportunity to answer, but
they again refused to do SO, and were COM
mitted to jail until the I'd Tuesday OF
March of this year-about three months
but they appealed to the Supreme Court
and were released on bail until the Su-
preme Court decided the matter. This,
the Supreme Court, has finally done
though it took long time to do it-and II
has sustained the sentence Of the Court be-
low and has remanded the prisoners to the
custody of the Sheriff of Lawrence county,
where they will probably remain for the
three months.
| Wallace was acquitted, presum ably BY
reason OF this evidence not being given
but Tate, Downing and Shaffer have no
| vet been tried-the Court having continu
ed their cases until the Supreme Court de
cided this case-and according to this de-
| cison, as we see it, the four men will have
to testify against eacE other, or be liable
to commitment for contempt of Court.
AT the meeting of the Republican Coun
ty Committee Of Armstrong county, IL
Kittanning, last Saturday afternoon M
r. Leason, Esq. was nominated for dele
gate to the Constitutional Convention
Our County Committee has named P. W
Lowry, Esq. and the names of these two
gentlemen will form separate ticket tt
be voted this fall by the Republicans OF
the 4Ist Senatorial district.
No provision is made in the law regard
ing the Constitutional Convention for thu
printing of the tickets, and as the 'For
tickets will probably be supplied by th'
candidates and those interested in having
| convention, the thing may possibly carry
| by reason of there being no against
tickets at the polls. This is a singular
omission in the law, as singular as thu
| provisions requiring the ballots to be sep
arats, and yet have nothing on the outsid
indicating that they are ballots.

selves completely subservient to the pres
emit unprinciplsd and reckless party
bosses. Now they have 10 deal with the
results Of the same system Of politics that
they approved Of last winter, and it re-
mains to be seen whether the party in the
State Is to b. further humiliated, or an
honest effort made to redeem it.

Popular Vote System .

Col. J. W. Reisinger, Of the Meadville
Gazette, being called. upon relative to
Crawford or popular vote system Of making
county and district nominations, respond
Cd as follows:-"T The longer we work un-
der the popular vote system the better we
like it. whatever may be said against
popular vote nominations may be said
with equal truth against popular vote
elections. Several attempts were made
years ago to repeal the Crawford County
System" in this county, and each time the
system was sustained by large majority.
Its excellence appears most notable in our
congressional district nominations, which
are made by mpjority vote Of the dis
trict. Our nominee is known as soon, as
the votes are counted, and we have nothing
for the district conference to wrangle
about. Suoh proceedings as disgraced
the Mercer Beaver districts last fall are
impossible under our system"
