Democrats, revealed plurality for
General Golf OF $50. Judge Flem-
ing was seated because his par!isans
had tho legislature, the returning
board, not because no had tho votes to
ontitle him or them to tho seat. It was
thcir last chance and at irighttul cost
they embraced tho opportunity.
Two Of their members Of tho legis.
laturc were convinced that Golf was
elected and had declared their intention
TO vote TO seat him. Their votes would
have made Golf governor. Ono OF these
members was drugged-for n time II
was feared that no would die OF his
dose. Republican physicians wero
driven from his bedside and Demo.
cratic physicians put in their places.
II tho man died tho important wit.
NOSES were TO DO friends OF the des.
peradoes.
To deal with tho other Democratic
member who intended to vote for Golf
a scandal was arranged and threatened
to be sprung in n way that would de.
stroy its victim. These things will not

iety.
Bearing In mind that in 1883 tho
Democratic nominee for governor was
defeated; that Mr.. Cleveland, the Dem
ocratic idol, had q majority OF only 559
in vote OF 1880 pollcd by the two
parties; that the vote OF West Virginia
from 1876 to 1883 shows an annual net
Republican gain Of l,15S, it is reason
able conclusion that there are to-day in
West Virginia at least 1000 more Re-
publicans than Democrats. Tho excess
OF Republicans aover Democrats is
probably greater.
The statistical encouragement" is
sufficient to arouse every Republican to
his best efforts to got out tho Republic
can vote, to soc that it gets into tho bal
lot-box and is counted and returned US
it Is cast. This will turn West Virginia
over TO the party to which it owes its
existence as state. The winning OF
votes from the other side is another
matter.
The thing of primo importance is the
Republican vote-not in its totality but
as SO many units, each by itself for its
own effective power. The units, tho
single votes, being secured, the total
footing will take care Of itself. The
whole Republican party will stand by
to see that the Democratic counters do
not take their peculiar kind OF care OF
the footing and the returning.

Judge CaImpbell's Decision.

Judge Campbelps decision in the
Garrison case is remarkably clear and
able. Itreviews in the most impartia!
way the evidence laid before him. He
thinks tho case made out against Juror
Robinson not strong but sufficient, and
on this he bases his judgment.
81 am" he says, "forced to the con.
clusion that the prisoner at tho bar has
not had trial by fair and impartial
jury" So believing, an honest judge
could do no less than Judge Campbell
has done. s: ',.ss t.- II Z;
"Trial by. fair andimpartial jury" is
the right OF every accused person under
the law, and the ministers OF the law
must see sthat there is no denial or
abridgement OF this essential right.
Trial by jury is farce, it may BIO it
sell a crime, when it is not fair and i'm
partial.

THE WAY TO DO IT.

To Garry West Virginia Every Republican

can We carry West Virginia2 Ho gave
some figures to show how tho Demo-
cratic majority has dwindlcd. It was q

tho Democratic party had no majority.
Some day q historian will want to know
how Judge Fleming got into tho Cover.

majority for him.
Now my proposition is this: thRt in
view OF past experience we make it at
least $4,000. We want to carry 1t by
such majority that the Democrats will
think the dcluge has come. And it
must be done by individual work; it
can't BIO done by the bulk.

The Democratic percentage OF the
total vote has gone down from 56.16 to
1883. The Republican percentage has
gone up from 42.4S to 49.4S. Between
the two there remains but the shadow

McIlyaine was shocked TO death In the
prison here to-day. the first contact being
made at 1l:12 A. NJ, and the duration OF
contact being forty-hve seconds. In Few
seconds after the current had been CUT ON
by order of DR.. Macdonald, iroth issued
from the mouth, and almost slmultane-
ously there was q quick. gurgling exhala:
tion and as quick a recovery. Ike that or

applied and continued torty-flve seconds,
when the doctors examined the wrist and
the jugular VEN for pulsations. There
were none, and after an examination OF all
the doctors present the subject was de-
clared dead-whlch il equivalent to say
ing ali consciousness was dead and that
all muscular rehexes had ceased.
p McIlvaine came into the chamber with
the priests, himself carrying before him q
cruciix and murmuring prayers. Ihe
chair used was one never before employed.
On the sides at the arms were lars into

tion Of salt. The arms were strapped at

or mishap at the other points OF contact.

head and the calf of the right leg. Rubber

Der tubes 70 the electrodes toi automatic
wetting OF the sponges.
The doctors, with one exception, believe
that life and consciousness were destroyed
the same instant. As compared with the
Kemmler killing. that OF Mcllyaine was
much less distressing.
The autopsy, which was begun soon after
lunch. has disclosed TO Dr. Macdonald no
evidence of imbecility or insanity, as was
asserted might be the case when Nell
vaine was on trial. The defence at that
time set up that the prisoners mind was
not normal, because of disorder resulting
from the lodgment of q bean in his ear
while youth. The autopsy proves that
this claim was RToundless. No foreign
substance was found IN either ear or BRAN.
Dr. Macdonald afiirms that examination
of the BRAN demonstrates that Mcllyaine
was thoroughly sane. the substances and
tissues being entirely normal.
Tho execution of Mcllvalne is the only
one by electricity. save that of kemmler,
winch has been witnessed by newspaper
representatives. At the execution to-day

Senate should confne itself TO an inquiry

should not undertake to question the
Presidents action IN removing Flood, in
asmuch as no reasons were assigned by
him for the removal. This sentiment was
so strong that when the question was put

geance OF the mob he sought refuge az the house
OF a white citizen near by. lt Is q well-known

people Of the South. Robinson did not turn mp

congregation having left the city, II Is said. on
last Tuesday morn NJ, since which time he has
not been heard from. This is his second "es-

was from the wrath of the white people, who
became very indignant over the slanderous
letters he wrote to northern papers, but the
white people never contemplated violence. IL
