rious question whether the Viewer cleo
tors have been legally chosen in Kansas.
The ballots east by Democrats were
headed. Democratic ticket--for prcsi-
dent, Grover Cleveland; fer vice presi-
dent, Adla h. Stevenson"
Although the Peoples party electors
followed The above caption the vote
II is claimed, was not a legal ore for
General Weaver as the Dtmorlt who
cast the ballot instructed the elcctor TO
vote in the electoral college for Clcve-
land and Stevenson. If there wert 30
600 such votes cast As is claimed, the
question is, should the electoral vote
of Kansas be counted for Weaver If
il does not legally belong 10 Weaver,
then the Republican electors for Kansas
have the right to give the states vote
to Harrison.
The Democratic Fusionists held con-
venton. adopted platform, aud, us
Democrats, formally voted for the cleo
tors which appeared upon The Democratic
tickets. and had Cleveland tickets been
more numerous than those bearing Nea-
ycr's name, there is no question but
the electoral vote would have been
claimed for Cleveland While the de-
cisiOn of this ease will not affect the re-
suit of the general election, 1t VIII he

The Populist leaders were interviewed
concerning the statement that the ZOOV'
Democratic votes cast for the Weaver
electors cannot be counted for Ncayel
because the Democratic ticket contalhlhl

The man tiger" is perhaps the most
dreaded of all the Indian demon ghosts;
for when IA tiger has killed man the tiger
itself is considered safe from harm, the
spirit of the man being supposed to ride
upon the beasts head and guide him clear
of all danger. Accordingly it is believed
that the only sure mode of destroying a
tiger who has killed one or more persons
is to begin by making offerings to the
spirits of his victims, thereby depriving
the animal of the valuable services rem
dered by the ghostly guides.
The ghosts most propitiated are the
spirits of those who have met violent
deaths, whether by design or accident, in
Guiding death by poison and contagious
diseases. Even wretches who have been
hanged for THAR crimes are supposed to
have the same powers of causing evil to
the living as those who have been killed by
tigers or by lightning st. Louis Republic.
