Friends and Foes Hard at Work for
and Against Him.
THE "MAIL AND EXPRESS GIVES
It's Figures to Show That More Than Enough
Delegates Will Be for Harrison to Nominate
Him on the First Ballot Efforts to Get
Blaine Back Onto the Track.
svec.dE Tslssram to the sunday REGISTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c. May 3.-The Re-
publicans who are determined to defeat
HarrriSon's denomination at Minneapo-
lis are confident they can do it il they
can prevent his getting a majority on
the first ballot. They have not thought
it good policy to fight Harrison openly,
but have worked quietly but strenu-
ousIy to keep State and District con-
ventions from instructing for him.
They have been successful in their ef-
forts, for up TO the present, Harrison is
far short Of a majority, aud his
enemies believe they can keep
him from securing enough instructed
delegates to control the Convention at
the start. This done, they believe they
will be able TO convince the uninStruct-
ed delegates when they get TO Minneap-
oils that HarriSOn's nomination would
mean defeat The strong hostility TO
him in New York will be dwelt on
especially, and the disaffected New
York hackers will declare with all
necessary emphasis that Harrison can
never carry that State.
To be successful, therefore, the anti
Harrison fight must be made against
the sending of majority Of instructed
Harrison delegates to Minneapolis.
The Harrison men know that
II the President does not
get there on the first ballot.
there will not be much hope for him.
Indeed the probability is that if Harri-
son is not assured of majority on the
first ballot he will never allow his name
T.. 10 ~ iC
friends are working hard TO demonstrate
that he already has majority of the
delegates committed TO him and will
win on the first ballot with plenty of
votes TO spare. II they can make this
conviction general, they realize that 1t
will make the work Of HarriSon'S
enemies much harder, and frigbten the
timid who are on the fence to flock to
the Harrison standard without delay.
Harrison'S friends assert that State
and district conventions so far have in
structed 3O2 delegates for him, and they
have assurances, they claim, that
enough other uninstructed delegates
have been chosen, who are known to be
favorable to Harrison, to give him
majority on the first ballot, with sixty
three votes to spare. These claims are
laughed at by his enemies, who are un-
shaken in their confidence that they
will beat him.
There is a we'll authenticated story
afloat tonight that Mr.. Blaine within
the past few days has expressed great
surprise that Harrison does not with
draw from the presidential race.
Blaine declares Harrison cannot be
elected if nominated, and must realize
that this is the fact. Blaine is rep
resented as saying that Harrison has
made too many enemies in his own
party during his administration to per-
init his reelection.

SIXTY-FIVE GASHES INFLICTED
Upon the Body Of Woman By Her Nephsw-A
Horrible Story Of How Bridget Elizabeth
Wash Net Death In Her Own Home
Every Conceivable Muhlah,n.

CHICAGO, May 3.-A murder the schock-
ing details OF which SAVIOR more OF unciv-
ilized butchery than has been known for
years in Chicago was committed between
and O'Clock this evening in the home Of
Michael Walsh, at No. 34i Washburn ave-
nue..
His wife, Bridget: Elizabeth Walsh, met
death in a manner that rivals for cruelty
aud horror the fates OF the numerous VIC
Tins in the London Whitechapel district
Her slayer, who from the evidence 30
far in the hands of the police, must have
been man, succeeded in covering MS
crime long enough 10 make his escape
without the leaving Of a single clew 0y
which his identity could be established
At the usual time yesterday morning.
Walsh left home 10 so 10 work. He Is a
teamster in the employ of j. V. Farwel, q
Co. Contrary TO his expectations, Walsh
returned home few minutes after SIX
O'Clock.
He tried the front door but found il
locked. He went around the house to a
rear door leading TO the kitchen. There
was fire burning in the stove, the even
ing meal had been partially prepared and
the cooking utensils were in their accus-
toned places.
For fifteen minutes he had searched for
his wife In vain, and he began TO fear that
something had befallen her Suddenly 10
occurred 10 him that there was no reason
for such strong and dlsagreeable odor In
the bedroom.
The room was partially darkened. as the
window curtains had been lowered He
raised them and examined the first object
that met his gaze.
This was a piece OF cloth stained with
blood, and il was then that suspicion OF his
faio daafh cranf int0 his MIND Ntfh
one hand he threw the cloth aside, and
there on the bloodstained carpet was the
body of his wife.
Sixty-five gashes varying In length from
half an inch 10 "A foot told the story OF
death that had come only after n violent
struggle as was shown by the disarrange-
ment OF furniture and the spattering Of
blood.
Were there not evidences Of human skill
In the mutilation of the remains, IL would
be difficult 10 believe that the crime was
the work Of man.
Not satisfied with killing his victim. the
SLAYER had so horribly dishgured the corpse
that even Walsh himself could barely real
ize at tirst that he was gazing on the dead
body OF his own wife.
From the crown of the woman's head 20
her feet there were cuts in every conceiv-
able location The wounds were most
numerous on her breast and lower limbs,
where the flesh was ripped In places and
hung in shreds.
The rags which covered Mrs Walsh,
among which was the clothing she he'd
worn in tho morning, for her body was
nude when found, were also dripping with
blood. The police made hasty survey OF
the situation.
LATER-Within four hours after the mur-
der Mrs Walsh's self convicted murderer
was arrested. He was Thomas Walsh OF
OF No l43 Washburn street, the dead
woman's nephew.

A DEAL MADE
Whereby Chief Justice Fuller Is to BE
the Democratic Presidential candidate
LIZ il Alleged


Whereby Chief Justice Fuller Is to BE
The democratic Presidential Candidate,
Ii is Alleged.
New YORK, May 3.-A Washington
dispatch affirms that John r. Mclean
is in that city, and that last night the
Cincinnati Enquirer's Washington cor
respondent sent to his paper dispatch
to the effect that with ex-President
Cleveland's consent, VIM. +. Villas ana
Don Dickinson, are at work trying 10
secure for Chief Justice Fuller the
Democratic Presidential nomination.
Harrity, of Pennsylvania, has, tits
alleged, gone into the deal, but III New
York the promoters OF the May conven-
tion of protest against Hill are said TO
refuse to give up their convention and
here is the stumbling block. The argu-
ments said to be used was that TO nomi-
nate Cleveland would require western
support which was not forthcoming.
Palmer had succeeded in capturing I'LL
nois. The Rhode Island election had
brought about depression among the
class, who had hoped for Democratic
results.in Republican States. The fear
became fixed that Cleveland could not
avail, and il was put to him plainly
that il he abdicated in Fuller's favor he
would make the nominee Of the Chica-
90 convention and control the destiny
of the National Democracy.
The dispatch to the Enquirer winds
up thus:-
However, the announcement for Fuller
has taken shape and will go on. Whitney
has been urged to help it. and the cable mas
been freely used. Not set OF men, though
will be more surprised than the sponsors
for this new deal in its exposure. They
may deny it with vehemence. but II Is so;
Fuller is the alternative of Cleveland, and
