WEDNESDAY, MAY Is, 1895
This paper is Democratic M principles
end is independent in its views Oh q" foe01
questions
Let No Guilty MAN Escape.

There can be no two opinions about
Judge Gummere's course in urgently
,narging the Mercer Grand Jury IN re-
Z, ,ect to the State House frauds. 1t was
, much his plain duty that praise woulo
BE- almost an insult as implying that he
might nave neglected it. 1t is in ORDER
however, to compliment the Judge upon
the forcible and luminous manner In
which he unfolded the matter and de-
fined the duty of the Grand Jury IN
the premises. The charge was mooeleo
upon the style of the late Judge Knapp.
1t was full of a spirit of righteous indls-
nation gains those who nave wronged
the State. and it directed their speedy
prosecution with a confidence in the law
and in the people which inspires new
confidence in those who long to see
honesty and decency once again en-
throned in our State Capital.
The motto for the Judge and the Grand
Jury should be Let no guilty man es-
cape" There are. we are Inundated to
say. some Democrats in~volved-so far as
the present state of the evidence shows
in these frauds. But there are also
several Republicans. Besides, it is a
matter of common report that numerous
other Republicans are as deep IN the
mud as any Democrats are in the mire.
Let us hope that the justice OF the
Mercer Grand Jury will be impartially
dealt out to all alike. without the re-
hottest reference to politics. Judge
Gummere is a Republican; let US hope ne
will initiate the example of Judge Lip
pincott, who has never allowed his polti-
cal opinions to affect his course on the
bench. The Sheriff of Mercer is also a
Republican, n it is understood that
The present Grand Jury Is a remarkably
partisan body, chiefly made up OF Re-
tremists. Let US hope it will not carry
its p~artisanship into its treatment Oh
these State House cases and undo all the
good of Mr.. Corbin's work by turning
the proceedings into a Democratic perse-
cution,
All who know the facts seem to agree
that the robbery of the State was neither
one-sided. as to party nor was it peculiar
TO periods when Democratic officials were
in control. There are villains on both
sides, and both parties will be the gamers
by having them punished. Let US have
fair. straightforward investigation and
equal shrift for all who are suspected.
