The Borden Mystery.

A. time goes on public sentiment il com
lnu very RAPIDLY to the belief thar Miss
Lizzie Borden is entirely innocent of any
completely in the murder Of her father and
stepmoiher If there is a vestige OF evi-
denee to Prove anything of the kind 1t has
vet to be made public. SO far as this case
has developed, everything goes to substan-
tate her claim of innocence. IL il scarcely
terrible crimes and still not have single
drop of blood anywhere upon her clothing
In the short time at her disposal it would
certainly seem an impossihihty TO so com
pleteiy remove all traces of such butch
cry. Again search of the barn substan-
tiated her story by showing the lead which
she claimed to have been after with por-
ton freshly cut. The clue" of the detec-
tive who has tried 10 make Il great deal out
her failed to show signs of having been
disturbed is worthy of little consideration
Is tending to disproye the statement of
Lizzie Borden that she visited the place
prior to the murder. Everyone knows how
quickly dust will settle in such place
The fact that il apparently presented an
un'iisturbed appearance at the time of the
detectives visit would be tiimsy eVi ience
indeed, To show that Miss Borden
was guilty of falsehood in claiming to have
been there Mt the time she stated. The an
alysis of the siomachs of the victims of this
horrible crime did not, it is reported, show
any trace of poison This will tend to dis
credit the testimony of the druggists whc
were so positive in their Identification
of Lizzie Borden rs would-be purchaser
of poison IT is of course, among the pos
.ibilities that Lizzie Borden committed this
crime but in view of the evidence thus fal
adduced We are frank to confess that w

| haveiknow Mr., Chadbonrne for many
wears and feel confident that his
services as Railroad Commissioner
will give the highest satisfaction to all of
the people.
True he is 3 Democrat but beg to ask,
does that disqualifv him, and If not is ii the
part of political wisdom for a Republican
Council to reject his confirmation upon
that ground? JAMES W, WAKEFIELD.
The above frank and straightforward
letter speaks for itself and we cheerfully
give it place in our columns. We had
not learned of Mr.. Waketield's sup
port of Mr. Ayers recent renewed
candidacy, as no letter has been received at
the executive department to indicate it.
We based our statement upon Mr. Wake
fields letter of March 81, 1889. strongly
favoring non-partisan board of railroad
commissioners and endorsing Mr.. Chad
bourne's candidacy. Subsequently, ON
Nov. IS, 1880, when Mr.. Chadborrne was
again candidate for the place, Mr.. Wake
field wrote another letter urging his candi-
dacy. We are glad 10 know tat Mr..
Wakefield still entertains the same high
opinion of Mr.. Chadbourne's qualifications
for the place, and heartily approves of his
nomination. -Ep.

that the letter to which his was "a reply was
a pleading. pitiful one, that he felt obliged
to reply to it, that he did not suppose it
would be published. that he intended it
only as a private letter, and much more to
the same effect: but Mr.. Cleveland must
