LAMAR's SUCCESSOR.
Democrats May Fail to Confirm a
Harrison Appointment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-It is thought
in Washington that President Harri-
son will nominate a candidate for the
vacancy on the supreme bench caused
by the death Of Lamar. The opinion is
that ex-senator Spooner, Attorney
General Miller or Secretary Noble will
be his choice. 1t is thought that any
man he may select will now fail Of
confirmation, especially Miller The
Democratic opinion is that Mr.. Cleve-
land will yet fill the vacancy and that
Senator Gray, of Delaware, will be his
choice. In such an event ex-Secretary
Bayard will become senator.

There Is consider, able speculation as to
what President Cleveland will say in his an
nual message, as without the usual consulta-
tions and discussions he must outline the
work alone. There are a great many things
which Mr. Cleveland desires that the next
Congress shall do but 1t is understood that
all he expects the extra session to accomplish
is the solution of the silver problem. 1t is
believed that the message will be confined to
a review of the financial question and point
ing out in emphatic and telling style the i'm
portance of the repeal of the Sherman law.
The first intention OF the President was to
demand the immediate and unconditional re-
peal OF that law, but It Is now said that in

An Indignation meeting was he'd In Den
yer on the day following the lynchlng OF
Arala and resolution, passed strongly de-
nounclng the infamous act.
1t having been stated that one reason for
the lypchins wa the General understanding
that Goycrnor Waite would commute the
death sentence OF any convicted murderer,
the governor spoke follows;
1T does seem 10 me, az it must seem to all
falr-minded men, that the proceeding was
most criminal. II was violation OF the laws
OF the land, and as such'is open to the sever
est consure. do not take into consideration
now the guilt or innocence OF the man VINO
was hanged, but | take into consideration
the existence of the lass upon our statute
books, and no nan should be punished With
out trial II there was no question as 10
the mans guilt then there need have been
no doubt OF the result OF a trial.
THE laws of Colorado plainly state that will
full murder shall be punished by death, aud
rs governor, have no disposition to nullify
the laws of the state. | am not In favor Of
capital punishment, but while the law pre-
scribes death as the punishment OF murder
that penalty should be enforced II would
be a very extreme case indeed that would be
pardoned
Il understand ! have been Ia measure
blamed for the outrage last night Id no In
stance Is there on record a case where have
respited convicted murderer, saSe one but
where the respite was only temporary, and in
order to give the superior courts time to act
1t would not be humane TO permit a man to
be rushed 10 death without that advantage of
appeal given him by the laws OF the land un-
der which we live. The only case in which
gave respite longer than the time necessary
10 secure the aid Of the superior courts was
that Of a man who was sentenced 10 hang dur
ing the term Of Governor Routt and was re-
proved by that official until ] should come
into Office, and as did not see fit to become
hangmnn for Governor Routt, did as he did
and put oil the hanging until some later gov
ernor might be called to act.
Nov, want 1t Understood, and understood
distinctly, that am here TO enforce aud not
to oppose the laws, and as 1t IS clearly the

by hanging am not disposed to step In and
