A FREE BALLOT.
New Orleans Democrats Will
Defend Their Rights.
Consignment of Winchesters Received
Chairman Crandall says All They Want
is Free Ballot aud Fair Count.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-The steamer E
Paso arrived yesterday from New York
with a cargo including forty cases Of Win
chester rifles and thirteen boxes of cart
RIGGS, addressed to "a. w. Crandall, chair
man of the Democratic campaign COM
mittee, New Orlerns." In an inter
view concerning these arms, Colonel
Crsndall says: eyes, it is a fact
these arms came to New Orleans ad-
daessed TO me as chairman of the Demo-
cratic executive committee. There has
been no attempt made to conceal their ship
ment and no effort to disguise why arms
have been secured. We are providing our
selves with them simply to protect
ourselves against any scheme, armed or
otherwise, to deny US free ballot and fair
count in the coming election. Since the
nominating convention at Baton Rouge we
have been met on all sides with statements
from friends and supporters of Foster that
ii as war to the knife, and the knife to
the hilt and that the machinery
in the hands of the existing state admins
ration was to be used in counting in the
Foster ticket and counting out the Nc
| Emery ticket. Believing the election ma
Chiuery under the control of the present
administration will be employed in frus-
tratlng, if necessary, a free expression of
the public will, we have determined, On the
on the principle that an ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound cure, to take such
means as will protect US from illegal and
| unwaranted interference with our rights
| under the law. There will be another
consignment of arms shortly. There is
no intention on the part of the
regular Democrats to precipiIate trouble;
no desire TO provoke the shedding of blood.
| All we ask is the privilege of every voter
! to vote as he chooses in the election and
| the assurance that his vote will be counted
as cast. We never intended to bulldoze or
bluff, but are firm in our determination
not to be bulldozed or bluffed.1

ELECTROCUTIONS.
Reporters Will Be Allowed to
Witness Them.
The First Case Will Be That OF Charles Nc

Law Allows Itr

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Feb. 5.-Charles McElvaine
will take his seat in the electric chair at
Sing Sing next week, and for the first time
since hanging was abolished in New York
state, newspaper men will see an execu
ton. Yesterday Governor Flower signed
the bill amending the electric execution law
in this respect. Warden Brown is allowed
to admit a number of reporters among his
guests, and he says he is as glad as anyone
else that the press gag law is a thing of the
past. 1t was intended up to yesterday af-
ternoon that Nicola Trezza should also
meet death the same day and by the same
means as McElvaine, but Trezzas sentence
of death was committed TO Imprisonment
for life by Governor Flower.
Principal Keeper James D. Connaughton
said to-day that very little preparation was
required this time. The electric chair in
which five men have already been shocked
to death can be made ready at an hours
notice The preliminary tests required by
law will be made by the electrician to-day
or next day.
McEivaine was sentenced to die in the
week beginning Monday, February s.
Warden Brown will not announce the ex
act time of the execution, but Monday or
noon Is probably pretty good guess. The
invitations 10 the nineteen Witnesses al
lowed by law to be present at the eXecu-
ton were mailed from the prison Office last
night. Pressure was brought to bear on
the warden from every part of the state to
secure admission TO the death chamber.
Medical men seem as anxious TO witnes
the application of the deadly current as
when this mode of capital punishment was
first tried
! AS at the two previous executions at
Sing Sing, Prof Ira Van Gieson of this
city will have charge of the autopsy.
"And there will be no assistants" ADDED
Warden Brown to the reporter. Every
witness, the physician or reporters will sit
down on a STOOL and the first man who
gets up or offers a suggestion to DR.. Van
| Giesen will be asked to get out. | don't
believe in more than one boss for an opera
tion of this sort"
Nc Elvaine is said to be the toughest
man ever In Sing Sing. When Wood, who
was executed last July, passed Noel
vaine's cell on on his way to the death chair
the Brooklyn murderer sang out to him
"Goodby. You, you'll get to he'll before
do" He quarreled with his wife wher
she visited him in his cell three days age
and cursed her. Nc Elvaine has been il
Sing Sing over two years. His crime wa:
the murder of Grocer Lucca in f5rooklyr
on the night of August %, 1859. He brok,
into the grocer's house and when dis
covered stabbed Luccs to death. There i.
every reason to believe that McElvaine
will not sit in the electric chair until hi
powers of resistance are over matched
by those of his keepers A desperate
struggle is expected when the announce
ment is made that his time to die ha
come.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Osborne. who
surrendered herself to the police yester-
day to answer charges in connection with

greave, was formally arraigned before
Lord Mayor Evans this morning. The lord

against the prisoner, whereupon Mrs. Os-

Harrison's Chances in New York.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch.l
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Hon. Stephen B.
Elkins, secretary of war, arrived at the
Fifth Avenue hotel tonight from Washing
ton. The visit of Mr. Elkins so soou after
the pilgrimage of Hon. Thomas G. Platt to
the capital is regarded as significant by
those who understand what is going on in
the Republican party in the state. Mr..
Plat denies that on his visit he called on
the President. He says that he went to
Washington for the purpose of executing
certain contracts for the United States Elk.
press company. The truth might just as
well be known now as at any time. Mr..
PlRtt is directly, emphatlcally and posit-
lively opposed to the denomination of Presi
dent Parrison. 1t has been considered
good Republican politics in the state
for the last seven months to give out
that the dominant element in the state
machine was for Harrison. There has
been string to all these statements. Mr.
Plat has nothing to thank Mr.. Harrison
for. He is for Blaine as his first choice.
There is no mistake about this statement
The visit of MIR. Elkins to New York may
mean that MIR. Harrison is alive to the
situation. Mr.. Platt and all his friends in
New York state are awaiting anxiously
some word from Mr.. Blaine. Genera
Clarkson and others in the national Re
publican committe have advised MIR. Blaine
TO stand as a candidate. He is now ponder
ing their advise. He does not feel very
well at times and occasionally, it is said
he feels like writing letter to some per
sonal friend declaring that he will not be
come candidate. With Mr.. Blaine out o
it his frienos have an idea that Mr.. Rarri
son will then have the first chance in tn,
Minneapolis convention. But New Yorl
state Republicans, or at least the dominan
element in that party, have talked abou
another candidate. This candidate il

To Place Agricultural Implements on the Free
List.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The first attempt
to enlarge the scope of the Democratic
policy of the ways and means committee
came to-day in the form of resolution In
troduced by Fithian, of Illinois, directing
the ways and means committee to report a
bill placing all kinds Of agricultural imple-
nents on the free list. Fithian thinks his
proposition should have the support of
every Democratic Representative from an
agricultural district and has already re-
ceived an assurance of support from Wat
son and his colleagues, of the Peoples
party.
Fithian's resolution is voluminous and
openly asserting manufacturers of farm
implements in the United States are SELL
ing farm implements in foreign countries
and to iobbers for export for less than to
FARMERS IN THIS COUNTRY.
This fact it says, is conclusively estab-
lished by the following answer to A. B.
Farquhar, agricultural implement maker
of York, Pa, to the Home Market club /:
1--WE do sell the goods cheaper TO Gus
toners in foreign countries directly and to
iobbers for export than we do to domestic

by which the manufacturer can afford to
sell foreign buyers for less than he can
