For Governor-Alexnnder IT. McGiIi.

For Governor-Alexander n. Mctifl.
The news leaks out today that the
Democratic leaders throughout the State
have concentrated their support upon
Chancellor Alexander T. McGiH as the
Democratic candidate for Governor in
the next election. 1t is also understood
that if the Convention calls upon him
the Chancellor will consent to accept
the nomination.
The resolve of the leaders is certainly
a wise one. No tronger candidate
could be placed in the field. OF the
many available men in the Democracy,
perhaps Job Lippincott has been most
prominent in the public eye; but it is a
question whether it would be safe to
run him yet, in face of certain enmities
which his fearless course on the bench
has created in this county. 1t is, Of
course, hard tha the best acts of a
mans career should operate against
his advancement, but it is the common
course of life, and in a crisis X the
present it would be foolhardy to place
any man in the contest who would be
antagonized by a considerable number
Of Democrats.
Chancellor McGin is a universal a V
orite. His career has shown his great
exeeutive as wen as legal ability. His
unspotted record does honor TO his party
as wen as to himself. Every Democrat
can uaite in support of him, and if ne
is pitted against some such tool of
monopoly as John Kean or Garrett A
Eobart, he will have the supper of
Thousands of Republicans.
Il is to be hoped the leaders and the
parry viii stand by the programme
WHICH contemplates his nomination on
a strong platform, en%unciating the DEM
ocratic principles of popular rights. I'm
Ger such auspices we viii have no diff
fculty in carrying the State next No

The Comstock Episode in the Lexoyy
Enquiry.


Everyone VIII regret the refusal of
the Lexow Committee to allow Mr.. An
tiieny Comstock to take the stand. AS
Mr.. Golf says. it would have contributed
to the @gayety of nations and the merri-
ment of Yuletide." Mr.. Comstock was
evidently loaded and pr;ned with inter
esting information about Mr.. Golf, who,
on the ether hand, seems to be animated
with no common spite against Mr.. COM
stock.
1t would nave been caviare to the ordin-
airy sinner to see these two holier-than-
thou gentlemen rending each Others
regulations with all the zeal and fire of
the truly good. The Williams circus
would have been tame in comparison.
This much must be said for Mr.. Com
stock. He has lone i~ncalculable good.
He has made many mistakes. He has
shown much narrowness He has pushed
sound principles to e-xtravagant lengths.
He has sometimes abused the powers
he exercises by directing them against
objects which they We're never intended
to affect and. which they should not
affect. But, with all his mistakes he has
performed a work of publication in New
York of enormous magnitude and in
calculable value.
1t is, therefore, very hard that when
his character is so vitality assailed he
hould not have an opportunity of for.
NAL vindication. OF course, if he were
guilty of the things charged by the
Streep brothers, he would deserve no
mercy. Even his work would not excuse
him; but the assertions of the Streeps
are very, very far from being proofs of
guilt. They are. however, considering
the circumstances of their presentation
co the public, injurious enough to en-
title Mr.. Comstock to the fullest vindi-
cation the Lexow Committee can afford.
The committee should never nave al
lowed the testimony to be given. 1t
was as plain on Thursday as on Friday
that the matter was outside the scope
of the investigation, and Mr.. Golf
should nave been stopped the moment
he entered upon it. But having once
opened the door, the committee had no.
right to close it until the accused had
been given the ordinary right of every
man to reply to his accusers.
Ire dilemma the committee fell into,
as we pointed out yesterday, was just
this. that If Mr.. Comstock Gas he doubt
less would have done) had triumphantly
indicated himself and shown the per-
jured character of the accusing evidence,
then a great part of the evidence against
the police would be hopelessly discred-
tied. The committee took the meanest
and smallest way out of the difficulty
by refusing to hear Mr.. Comstock and
going through the empty formality Of
expurging the streep testimony from its
record, as if the real record We're not
that printed in the newspapers of the
country.
But perhaps the end is not yet. Out
of the incident there has developed q
very pretty quarrel between Messrs.
comstock and Goff. 1t may lead to
further results.

Bank Robber De France Lays In Jail
While His Record of Crime
Comes to Light.
WENT In FOR BIG MONEY
But He Was Tripped Up by Being Too
Fast About Getting Rich With
out Working.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 11.--There is grad
ually coming out the unwritten history
of the career of the famous Stonewall J.
De France, the notorious forger, who
now languishes in the jackson, Mich,
state prison for term of seven years.
De France, who victimized banks in
nearly every city of any size in the
country, once cut his capers i'm Kalama-
zoo, Mich, and it fell to the lot of that
city to send him behind the bars. Since
his incarceration photographs of De
France have been sent to every place
where it is thought no has worked his
shrewd games, and, as a result, there
comes story from Indianapolis, which
is chapter in De Frances life immedi-
ately previous to his escapades in Min
neapolis. .~~ *-'S
Names Were Plenty with Him.
In indianapolis De France sailed
under the name of Cameron Elliott.
John S. Duncan, an Indianapolis attor-
ney, has made an affidavit, and filed the
same with the connty clerk at Detroit,
Mich, as part of the proceedings
against De France, brought by
Arthur c. Anderson, and attached
to the affidavit is picture of De
France taken in his prison garb. The
affidavit says the picture strongly re-
sembles Cameron Elliott, a man for
whom the attorney drew up legal
paper March, 1892. At the time the
document was being drawn up Elliott
stated to Attorney Duncan that he was
going to Minneapolis to buy some real
estate, and asked for q letter of intro
duction to Minneapolis attorney. A
letter was given to Elliott introducing
him to Attorney Charles Jelley, who
moved from indianapolis to this city.
Kept ON swindling Indianapolis Banks.
| Cashier Bosson of the Indianapolis
Bank of Commerce, still further identi-
fies the alleged Elliott as De France
from the pictures, furnished by the au-
thorities of the Jackson prison. In
March, 1892, Cameron Elliott deposited
with Cashier Bosson $1,000. Elliott
checked the money out. and on March
~ he had executed in his favor two
drafts of $500 each, upon the United
States National Bank of New York.
Made n Break For $4,000.
On April IA the cashier of the Indian
apolis bank was thunderstruck to re-
ceive telegram from the New York
bank sayins that two drafts for $35, 900
each had been presented for payment
by Cameron Elliott against the Com.
mercial bank of indianapolis. The
cashier of the latter institution immedi-
ately wired TO New York that no such
draft had been drawn, and the attempt
to collect the so, 900 made by De France
was frustrated.
Soon after De France appeared in
Minneapolis, and by his artful work
mulcted local bank out OF $28, 600.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1l.--Nearly
every railroad in the United States is
represented i'm the fourth biennial con-
vention Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen. The attendance is
the largest in the history Of the order.
The present convention will be one of
paramount Importance to the order
from the fact that numerous questions
growing out Of the recent boycott strike
and the attitude of the American Rail-
way union toward this and other rail-
way organizations that preserved an
independent course during the recent
troubles are to be considered, while the
future course of the organization to-
wards similar movements will be clearly
defined.
Secret Meetings, With Passwords. Etc.

accessories of passwords, doorkeepers
and sentries. The only public meeting
of the week took place Monday evening

delegates were welcomed in behalf of
the city and the local lodges of the order.

ton Grand Master Sargent delivered a

Land Cleared Of Brush and Dead Trees.
Saving Years of Hard Work.
HINcKLEy, Mimi, Sept 10.--The ter
rible forest fires which devastated the
north end of Pine county. leaving death
and destruction in their wake, were not
altogether curse. The area burned
over is approximately is miles wide and
80 miles long, and therefore contains
4S0 square miles, or 220, 800 acres. To
clear this amount of land of trees and
uuderbrush by the slow process of the
hTisbandman would be an almost in
teTminable task. Yet the fire did in a
few hours the work of years, and did it
in an effectual though terrible manner.
