is the case Of Young, the old soldier.
This man, Wilson shows, was stamped to
death by attendants. A Coroner's in-
quest was probably held at one time
butno record Of the fact can be found
except that the coroner received $T65
for his services in the matter. Young's
body was bruised up. The record shows
he died Of Rpoplsxy. These are merely
few cases taken at random from
large number Of similar ones. The in
nate and inborn lack of honor or sense
Of deOsnoY on the part Of the republican
public officials is well known in every
case cited. How can any one expect

A meeting Of the republican state

at which it was decided not to have any

date for reelection. The resolution de-
olariDg in favor of Judge Martin was
rather a silly proceeding, but it was q
plan Of the politicians to make unsOphis-

committee meeting petition had bsen
circulated Tor the nomination Of Martin
on q non-partisan ticket. Governor
Morrill, had refused to sign it for fear il
would not please his bosses for him to
do 30.
A few weeks ago the OverRge Eepubli-

It seemed that enough had been
printed tending TO show that the rspub-
liCsn administration Of public nstitu-
tions was vicious, imk collie and disrepu-
table. However, additional evidence ia
submitted in W. Fl. Wilson's "TWo
Years in the OsawRtOmie Insane
Asylum"
The loving disposition Of these officials
is well shown by the treatment Of Lewis
Mays, q Colored inmate. The following
is taken from the statement of an at
tendsnt who was at the time employed
on the ward:
~ know on Sunday evening, DsOem.
ber 16, 1894, o. K. Elder left the ward at
Z p, M, it being Sunday evsning.off duty,
SO it fell to A and myself 10 put the
patients to bed. A seemed bent on
fun, 30 he put on his rubber sole shoes,
Lit o lantern and we went to work, he
saying shat --- nigger would catch
- tonight I asked him to be easy
for / felt badly. Well, to make 3 long
story short, We got the coon ready ioE
bed with quite a little sCuffls, etc., and
after We had his clothes off and he laid
on the tick, his hands in restraints and
legs ia ankl Ots, A kept up his
humping and he kicked him somewhere
about the head, / think on the jaw or
putt Of his ear, and the negro with a
groRn stretched out and he never raised
o hand afterwards. The blankets were
streWn ABOUT the room to indicate that
he had been raging about during the
night and his room locked. A was
scared; hs feared he had broken bis
neck. The doctor said his skull was
broken just above the temple on the left
sids."
The supeEintendent's record showed
that Mays died Of Rpoplexy.
And then as q sample Of the absolute
disregard Of the comfort Of the patients
on the part OF the officers, the following
is interesting:
ave have in the wards Of the main
building eight or ten poor, old, crippled,
feeble men who are not able to walk
with the patients for exercise or even
20 down to the grove. They had
been allowed by the stronger ones
and attendants assisting them ia
90 out In front Of the building and
sit in the shade under the trees
on the gssss, q privilege which they
valued very highly. But this spring
our aristoCratic doctor concluded 'they
did not look we'll sitting in the front
yard-it might be shocking TO visitors
30 hs issued q very stringent order that
any attendant permitting q patient to
remain on the grass in the front yard
would bs dismissed. But the officers
and their friends still have their croquet
ground in this front yard on the grass
But patients, as in all other like matters
in shis institution, must keep of the
grasg."

Last year in Clark county the repub

that republican campaign promises
amount to nothing.

The Mckinley style of protection Was then

of the Homestead riot. In the same section
the greatest advance in wages ever known
was made a few days ago, when 5000 pud-
dlers in the first district of Piitsburg were
given voluntary advance and 10000 pud-
ders in all shared in the increase. Later
on the same benefit will accrue to $4,000

case. The industries under the new tariff
