This evening the preliminary canvass
In the interests of candidates that as
pure for places on tbs state ticket will

ing the progress OF the canvass The
HERALp has consc,entiously enteayored
10 make IL plain that the most sacred
duty Of republicans IS 10 weigh the
situation carefully and then act de-
hberatsly. There are strong and tangi-
bic objections to Mr.. Rich IS candi-

with force and great earnestness- II
iss radical and far-reachiDg mistake
blindly 10 insist upon bis nomination
without carefully considering the OBJ
jections that have been pressed by re-
publicsns that are just IS loyal and

II Is unnecessary TO repeat that there
attaches to bis candidacy the odium of
having been an oftceholdsr for q long
time, that II is charged that be IS
friendly TO corporations, and will con-
tinus that friendship if elected to be
governor; that re is not friendly to
labor. These charges VIII be made IN
the democratic papers il he shall be
dominated. They were made in the
Lansing Journal long before any other
candidate was mentioned. They are
said to be false, TO be sure, but there
will Be many TO believe them,
and THE HERALD and other re-
publican newspapers will be CON-
PEELED TO defend Mr.. Rich in
stead Of attacking the opposition on
questions of party principle. THIS
must be plain to anybody. Another
thing that must b taken into account
Is that labor must be respected this
year more than ever before. The con-
soiidation last saturday under the laws

THE LAST DAY.

Not since the celebrated Snith-Bennett
murder case has the big court room on
the Hill been so crowded as it was today
by persons who desired to witness The
closing scenes of the trial of Arthur
Stocker for his life. Every seat inside
the rail, which is sacred to law
yers only, and outside was occu-
pied and the gallery was crowded
to soffocation. The aisles were filled with
men who stood patiently for hours, and
scattered among those seated was large
number of women who had visited the
place to revel in the details of degrada-
tism and disgrace. These women ap-
parently enjoyed the proceedings very
much and did not appear to be at all
xbashed at the broad language OF the
lawyers.
Il was noticeable that Dunno. Bremner
aud the Tierney's were not in Court.
They had evidently concluded that they
would feel more comfortable elsewhere
When ex-Judge Hoffman addressed the
Jury, they showed good Judgment. The
eminent lawyer did not spare them.
nor did he hesitate to call
a spade a spade. He denounced the
mother for having encouraged the leWd
conduct of the daughters, and the feeling
of disgust he exhibited when he referred
to Dunno, whom he denounced as
coward, and Bremner. would not nave
made them happy bad they been present.
Here are the concluding portions OF the
testimony as given yesterday.

WINFIELD MERCILESS.
He Brings Out All the Weak
Points in the Defence-Manu-
factured Opinion.

The speech of eX-Judge Hoffman had a
great effect on the jury. aud when Prose
cutor Winfield followed he had big con-
tract on his hands to counteract the
effect of his opponents eloQuence. The
to protest against one thing that EX-
Judge Hoffman had said and that was
that the jury pronounced tn, sentence.
''This," said the Prosecutor with fine
subtlety, sis done by the Court. The
jury has nothing to do with it. The jury
only finds'the verdict"
II admit" said he, that this defendant
has a great interest in this verdict. for. as
The Scripture has it, Skin for skin; all
that man hath will he give for his life'
What interest could be greater
than Stocker's in this verdict.
Your verdict in this case is important
to society. To that we owe n duty and
obligation and you stand today between q
violater of the law and society. What
ever fanlts Catherine Stoeker may have
had she had right to live. Whatever
had been her habits it did not lie in the
province of that man who had sworn
to protect her to take her lite. The vilest
wretch and the greatest criminal upon
earth mas right to 1.-Two until it is decreed
by the courts of justice that he shall
die. 1t is as great crime to
kill criminal as it is to kill II
priest at his altar, and if this man is
permitted to so free at your hands where
is the protection that the law throws
around us and our families? Give this
crime your appreciation by an acqnital,
aud where will you draw the line for the
next murderer?

Constant Observation-Disclosures
Men Brought In.

After recess yesterday the defence called
Francis S. Wurth, Jr,, to the stand.
Wurth testified that he had lived at No.
43l Central avenue ten years. He knew
Stocker and during the past year had no
ticed that Stocker would get excited
without apparent reason. He bothered
me considerably about his family
troubles said the witness, sand l was

hear his tales of woe. am brother-1n-

james Mandell testifed:-"I have

noticed that Stocker was down hearted.
He is an officer in my lodge. l appointed

times. Stocker would sit apart from the
