in this State that their conventions have
attracted little attention. Last Novem-
Der, however, the vote by congressional
districts showed a Republican majority.
The Republicans claim that the same con
dtiOn exists this year. With confidence in
their prospects for the State ticket to be
nominated tomorrow the delegates and
many other Republicans from all parts of
the State are filling the hotels with those
who are contesting for Republican nomi-
nation in old Bourbon Kentucky. The
State committee today selected Judge
George Denny of Lexington, who is con-
testing with Colonel Owens, the former
seat of Breckenridge in congress, as tenn
porary chairman. Congressman Walter
Evans will probably be permanent chair
man. No opposition has developed to
Colonel o. w. Bradley for governor, but
there are eight candidates for lieuten-
ant governor and as many for each of the
seven places on the State ticket, so that
there is some doubt about the conven-
ton concluding its work tomorrow. II
is conceded that the convention will de-
nounce the free coinage of silver, favor a
gold standard of value and reaflirm the
natiOntal tariff plank of 1892. With the
exception of contests for minor places or
the ticket, the proceedings promises to be
harmonious, the Bradley men having the!l
own way.

THE PRESIDENT DELAYING THE
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT.
Senator Gray of Delaware Called to the
White House-Don NJ. Dickinson
and Others Spoken of as
Olney's Successor.

Washington, June 4.-There is no
longer any reasonable doubt that the
president has fully determined to ask At
torney General Olney to accept the state
department portfolio. While this is an
undoubted fact, it is also certain that the
president has not even intimated to Mr..
Olney that this was his purpose. 10 9th
er members of his cabinet, however, it is
learned that he has stated in substance
that he should ask Mr.. Olney to accept
the place and that he was delaying the
public announcement in order that he
might at the same time name successor
to Mr. Olney as attorney general. Per
sons in q position to know what the pres
idents purposes are are anticipating an

HER GREAT EoRruNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong Misery
and Made Happy and Useful.

A woman confined to the house several
years with chronic female arrangement
had finally given up all hopeof being cured.
She had tried physician after physician
and remedy after remedy without any
permanent improvement. Her treatment
had cost her husband, who was a poor
man, hundreds of dollars. They had been
obliged to deny themselves many com
forts of life in order to get money enough
to pay the physicians. Yet, in spite of all
economy, there was a small mortgage on
their property because of the expense her
1lneSShad brought upon them. The Wo-
man had been weak, nervous and wretch
ed, scarcely able to keep out of her bed.
her children were growing up neglected
ana ragged, because of the want of a moth

Outraged and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day, she happen
ed to read an item which contained the
news that DR.. Hartman would treat such
cases free of charge by letter. She imme-
diately wrote the doctor, describing her
case and giving him all her symptoms.
She soon received letter telling her ex-
acuy what ito do and what medicines and
appliances to get. She began the treat

had no direct interests in the case, Mr..
Olney secured the permission Of the court
to present a brief in behalf of the en-
ploye, in which he held that the proposed
action of the company was against justice
and right The brief was marked by a
vigorous defense of the right of labor to
organize in any way it saw fit for ad-
vanciDg its interests so long as the means
were peaceful and within the law. The
new secretary came from sturdy puritan
stock. His ancestor, Thomas Olney, came
from England and settled at Salem in
1875. The father of Richard Olney own
ed and managed the cotton mills at Ok
ford and also engaged in banking. His
mother was a Sigourney, descended from
French Hugenots, who fed from France
to this country. He graduated from
Brown university in 1896 and from the
Harvard law school in 1858. He married
Agnes, daughter of Judge BENZ. Il.
Thomas, with whom he studied law. Mr..
Olney is a gentleman of fine literary at
tainments and tastes. Although a close
student, he is n lover of out-of-door sports
and a good horseman, an enthusiastic
tennis player and a skillful angler. He

exposure unless he would pay her $500;
that he first offered her $50, as he did
not care to have any trouble with her,

Both of these theories were fairly pre-

not be guilty if he believed the prosecutor

was merely trying to collect the same.

IlenuerSOn, j.
NJ. F. Anderson VS.. The State; convic-
ton for murder in the second degree;
from Dallas county.
Q) We are of the opinion that the
corpus delecti was sufficiently, proven.
One James Bagley, an accomplice, testi-
tied to the fact of the crime. This evil
dence was corroberated by evidence that
the defendant had confessed, that he did
the killing. The remains of human
being We're found in the place where Bag
| ley said that the body of the murdered
man had been concealed.
" Appellant testified that he was not
| at the place of the homicide at the time
| OF the killing, and that he had nothing
whatever to do with the homicide. The
court refused to charge with reference to
an alIbi, and this was error. This error
was intensified by the courts charge on
selt-defense. There was no circumstance,
even of the slightest nature, presenting
this issue of self-defense. The giving of
| TINS charge was calculated to impress
the jury with the belief that the judge
thought that defendant was present at
the homicide
t5) This is remarkable case, but we
nave not time to discuss the facts. While
the case is unparalleled in a great many
pa t.NuLtblS, IL is not nearly so mysterious
as the verdict of the jury. If there was
a homicide there was not one circum
stance of mitigation or eXtenuation. II
was a deliberate and fiendsh assassina
tlon, and the perpetrator should have beer
hanged. The verdict finds defendant
guilty of what? Murder in the second
i degree! This is a mockery on Justice
and no honest jury could have arrived
at the verdict, if they believed, beyond
a reasonable doubt, that defendant die
the killing under the circumstance
charged.
