A CRY FOR BLOOD.

Great indignation is being expressed
on ali sides in Memphis on account of
Governor Buchanan's action in commut
ing the sentence of Colonel H. Clay King,
the murderer of DAVID H. Poston, to life
Imprisonment. Public sentiment is
strong in condemnation of the murderer
and, while the governors action did not
cretate much surprise, it was desired by
a large number of citizens that the law
be allowed take it's course. Petitions
asking for executive clemency were sign
ed by fully 10000 persons, while counter
petitions against King were signed by
fully as many people. The press of
Memphis is particularly strong in de-
nunciation of the governors action.
When Governor Buchanan was seen by
reporter and asked if he wound give
his reason for committing the sentence,
he replied:
"With pleasure. First. 1 thought
that King should have had a
change of venue Afidavits to the effect
that Juror Smith had communication
with outside parties and expressed an
opinion about the case, were filed with
me. The affidavits could not be intro
duced in court of record because it was
too late. The action of Juror Muslin,
and of the jury going to Arkansas to de-
liberata upon the case also had their
weight. The dlssension OF one of the
Supreme judges, in the defense as to
partial insanity, the pleadings of his wife
and children, and the most prominent
men of the country, besides hundreds of
letters and petitions, were my rea-
sons for committing the sentence
81 am responsible for my action"
added the Governor. 81 thought l was
doing right, and acted according to my
| belief
He then handed the reporter a petit
ton signed by twenty-six Senators and
Congressman.
The crime committed by King was
murder. Stern Justice held the case in
custody, and administered the law i'm
partially from the lowest to the highest
There are two penalties for murder. One
ment. The jury declared for the gallows.
The action of Governor Buchanan was
not pardon, but the substitution of
one penalty for the other. The charge
made by the Memphis press that he has
discredited the courts and trampled up
on the law, and the various lurid COM
ments which accompanied it, will sound
foolish after calm judgment succeeds
excitement and passion. Law still reigns
in Tennessee and the guilty is pun
ished.
Governor Buchanan exercised the high
prerogative vested in him by the people
of the State. Many demanded the blood
of King, but OF hers, the deserted wife
and children, United State Senators and
Congressman, and lengthy petitions OF
citizens, pleaded for the scant mercy Of
life Imprisonment. Governor Buchanan
yielded to the latter, but in his clemency
he still upheld the law, and the murder
er will exc out the remainder of his
wretched life behind ohe bars of the
State penitentiary, still solemn lessor
and warning to his fellows. Governor
Buchanan did what he conceived to bt
his duty, within the letter and spirit
of the law, and justice should be sat
isfed.

A BAD LABOR RECORD.

HE INDEPENDENTS expose of Lieut.
Gov. Richards labor record IN the con-
stitutional convention made a sensation
in this city yesterday.
He was not only roundly condemned
by members Of labor organizations for
his opposition to their interests, but by
! many citizens for the despicable meth
DDS employed.
But facts are facts, and Richards must
stand on his own record. 1t should be
understood thoroughly in this connec-
ton that he fought these measures of
vast Importance to working men, not
about the streets, on the stump, or in
interchange of gossip, but publicly, in
the most important body ever assem-
bled for the good of Montana; he fought
these measures in the constitutional
convention, assembled to frame the
principles Of statehood and formulate
an instrument which was to make sa-
cred forever the rights of every Mon
tana citizen. His methods are therefore
all the more worthy of notice.
When the convict labor clause was pro-
posed he did not want it in the constitu-
ton along with other fundamental prin-
ciples OF justice and freedom and placed
where it could be protected; he wanted
it turned over to the legislature, whore
it would be subjected to the DELAYS and
v~icissitudes common in the proceedings
of that body.
He pursued the same policy in the
discussion Of that other important
measure relating to the introduction of
armed forces in the state for the sun.
preston of domestic violence.
Truly, this man Richards Is a fine
friend of labor. We call upon all work
ing men in the state to show him M in
all his enmity and treachery to their in
terests.

place the responsibility on some mis-
taken person in the Standards employ,
because we do not believe that a paper
ordinarily fair IN it's discussions would be
sufficiently malicious to wilfully mislead
its readers on u matter Of fact, III our
contemporary Ia convinced that it's con
illusions are wrong it will doubtless be
fair enough to correct the error and
apologize to its constituency for an in.
excusable blunder.
Sunday morning the Standard printed
a special dispatch from Helena stating
that the registration in this county
would approximate $500. News from
several outside precincts showed that
these figures would reach {, ZOO, a close
estimate, which vas telegraphed to
Butte. But the figures were reversed
in the Standards list yesterday morning
and appeared rs $500. On this basis
our contemporary goes through a math-
ematical problem and concludes that III
a crooked registration can do it, Helena
will get a place in the capital race"
This is, of course, all wrong. The
registration in this county has been as
honest and fair as in any district OF the
country. Helena will have a place in
the capital race close to the top, but she
will have it fair. There never has been
any precinct 81 business In this county,
md there never will be SO long as the
good people are in the majority. II the
registration in Deer Lodge county has
9 as square as that in Lewis and
Clarke, the peoples of Helena will be very
we'll satisfied indeed.
1t may further interest the STANDARD
learn that the registration in this
county is nearer 5000, and probably a
rifle over.

SIGNS OF A IL

The latest campaign news brings
very little cheer to republican hearts.
Visitors who have lately returned
from New York to Montana say that the
big Empire" state is fairly aflame with
democracy; that the party was never so
thoroughly organized in hat state, and
that the enthusiasm for victory never
was greater. Senator Hill, a democrat
at all seasons, is giving his best efforts
to win success, and the Tammany So
ciety, a bulwark Of democracy for
nearly one hundred years, is working as
it never worked before. The heavy reg
istration is believed to be largely the re-
suit of unusual work by the several
county committees, who report that the
democracy above Harlem bridge was
never in better fighting condition. All
signs point to q majority for Cleveland
and Stevenson in New York very much
like that given to Gov. Flower last year.
New Jersey and Connecticut have not
gone republican in a presidential election
in twenty. years, and may be counted
reliably democratic. The reports are
that the party is making the greatest
campaign ave known in Indiana, and
that that state may also be counted in
line.
The situation in other sections is In
teresting. The democrats and populists
have fused in Colorado, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota,
Idaho and Wyoming, and will vote for
the electors on the peoples party ticket.
These states will cast forty electoral
votes, so that if Harrison loses all and
still carries New York he cannot win. In
Wisconsin and Illinois there is no fus-
ion, but the democrats are working hard
and have reason to believe that the
victories of two years ago win be re-
peated.
The signs Of disruption and disintegra-
ton in the old republican party are ap-
parent on all sides, and it is believed that
the work will be fully completed this
fall. Right here it may be- said in conf
dence that the democrats of Montana
propose to have a hand in it, and that
better work was never done than is now
being carried on under the direction of
the state committee.
