appears to have been the case on Tuesday.
Under the rules Of the party majority
Of the votes of all the candidates were re-
quired TO elect county chairman, but by
some means or other which have not as
yet been made clear the candidates passed
a resolution providing that the chairman
could only be elected by a unanimous vote
When the time for the selection arrived
Major S. A, Losch received ~ votes on
several ballots and was legally elected
under the rules but the illegitimate reso-
luton stood in the way, or at least blinded
the good sense and intelligence of the eau
didates, and Mr.. Losch was counted out.
1t is hardly necessary to state that for
several years the HERALD has opposed
Mr. Losch because it believed that many
of the stands taken by him were not for
the best interests Of the Republican party,
and would oppose him to-day If it con-
sidered there was occasion for it but now
he HERALD feels that Mr.. Losch is un-
,ustifably made victim of certain
clique of the Republican party and it can
not endorse the methods of the candi-
dates in making their selection Of a county
chairman.
Mr.. Payne may be a gentleman of un-
doubted intelligence, respectability and
integrity, and 80 far as we know, he is
but we fear he will find his work as
county chairman very burdensome, in
view Of the manner in which he was
placed in the position. His first appeal
will no doubt be for the voters to stand
by and uphold the rules and principles OF
the Republican party and he will be in
the awkward position of having derived
his authority through barefaced viola
tion Of the rules. Mr.. Payne's selection
was a surprise and, under the circum.
| stances, a misfortune.

EXECUTION OF A PRIEST.


LAVAL, France, Aug 30. Able Bruneau
was executed at o'clock this morning.
Bruneau was awake when the officers en-
tered his cell to tell him that it was time
TO prepare for the execution When he
was dressed the condemned man heard
mass and received communion. He prayed
the pardon of God and men for any faults
he might have committed, and also asked
that the clergy might pardon him foI
breaking his vows of chastity, He then
Informed the attendants that he was
ready. He showed great GOODNESS until he
arrived at the foot of the scaffold, when
his fortitude seemed to leave him.
An enormous crowd was present, and
the people cheered when the criminals
head fell into the basket.
Bruneau left two page letter in which
he protested his innocence of the crimes
with which he was charged The con.
demned man, though a regularly or
dained priest, was convicted in July last
of murder, arson and robbery.
The order for the execution was not re-
ceived until o'clock last evening. When
it became known to the people it caused
general rejoicing. A crowd began tc
gather at the scene of the execution al
nightfall, and 1000 persons had assem-.
bled by midnight. They surged about
the Jail singing songs which had the eter.

head we want" and shouting coarse jokes
or roaring under the prisoners cell win

All the windows overlooking the scene
of execution were lighted and crammed
with spectators, who beguiled the time in
drinking and laughing. The scene was
one of riotous and brutal rejoicing, which
was continued until the knife had fallen
when the mob numbered about 5000.

it seems poor, indeed, by the side of the
bloody tale of Ping-Yang and Chung -Ho,

ful politician in the work of selecting a
county chairman, does not reflect credit

extraordinary attack of swelled head apd

that it is not incumbent upon them tG

Speaking of presidents reminds me Of
an amusing incident of the late Prcsient
Arthur's administration which, 1 believe,
has never been related before
As is well known, Mr. Arthur was some.
thing of an athlete and pedestrian. He
seldom used his carriage for about town
visiting. One evening he called at the
residence of "a friend i'm the west end. He
rang the doorbell and a colored woman
answered the call. The servant did not
recognize the president, and in a pert
manner Informed him that none of the
membeBs Of the family was at home,
President Arthur apparently doubted her
stat1nont, and in his most courteous style
said:
i"I am President Arthur"
IL am Clara Brown, promptly replied
the domestic, acknowledging the self in
PRODUCTION of the president. The latter re-
traced his steps to the White House, while
Clara went down stairs to tell her fellow
servants of the politcness of the president
in introducing himself TO her. The old
cook heard the unsophisticated housemait
relate hcr story and exclaimed: "You'se &
fool niger He didn't tend to introduce
hisself to you. He was simply leaving his
name for de family. y.'-Washington Post
