NO HOPE FOR HIM
Y W WILL SURELY HANG FOR
HIS CRIME.
It Seems Practically Certain That
Gov. ClouEh Will Not Interfere
Hayward Declares That He Will
Not Yea the Black Cap ON the
GnIlows-Hc Now Secma Content
Sheriff.

Minneapolis. Nov. Pho clemency
will be shown. This is practically GER
tain in the case Of Harry u. Hayward.
From now until Saturday, not a move
will be made by any OF the local au-
thorities toward the fulfillment of des-
tiny in the. celebrated case. Hayward
will he allowed his full time for eN-
ceptions and arguments for a rehcar-
ing. but il they are made, nothing will
avail in the matter.
Saturday next County Attorney Nye
will visit the governor officially. Mr..
Nye will not use any efforts to in1u-
ence the governor in his actions. but
will simply inform him that the legal
time is up. and that he can proceed as
the sentence of Judge Smith. The ac-
the past few months will initiate
greatly against him in any effort to
have time allowed him. and while it
is probable that his parents will make
an effort to have such action taken, he
can hardly expect any clemency.
The rumOrs which implicated r. r..
Odell have been shown to be naught.
and that gentleman will not place the
obstruction in the way that he was
credited with being able to do. In
fact. in justice to Mr.. Odell. whatever
he may have said in regard to the
case to his friends. he has made
one statement that would go to show
that he did not believe Hayward
guilty. All that lie has said has been
to the effect that perhaps Blixt was
not quite as innocent as people be-
lieved, and that he had turned a very
neat trick in getting him sent up for
life instead Of having him die on the
ScaffOld. .
There is hardly any probability that
anything more will be found to inter-
est the public in the search through
the possessions of Hayward in his cell
Nothing of interest was found, and
from the way in which he is watched
there is no probability that he will
ave make any more trouble for the
authorities, for they do not trust him
in the least, and give him no freedom
whatever. Had he acted differently
up to date. he might have been taken
care of in such a way that he could
have secured escape through suicide,
but now that appears to be impOssls
bile.
He will probably be led to he gal
lows with arms freed. unless he shows
ugliness. and will not be pinioned un-
til the fatal moment. He swears that
he will not die with the black cap on,
and will look his tormentors in the
face to the last. This is a point OF
pride with him. Everybody connect
ed with the jail and criminal courts
will he glad when the thing is over.

CHICAGO MUST HUSTLE
Otherwise h Will Not Secure tn.
Republican National Convention,

OtherW1ae she Will Not secure the
Republican National Convention.
Chicago, Nov. 27.-William j. Camp
bell, Republican national committee
man from Illinois. returned home from
New York to-day and brought the
Jews that if Chicago gets the national
convention no time is to be lost. But
two weeks remain before the natiotal
committee meets at Washington to set
tie the matter. and Chicago will there
fore have need of her push and en-
ergy Ia make a successful campaign
in that short time.
Not far from 100000 will be neces-
sary to cover the expenses Of the con
vention and wipe out the $4,000 ma
tional committee debt. and Chicago. it
is said, will have that amount on hand.
Pittsburg offers $4,000. besides the
entertaining Of the delegates, but Chi
cago's superior advantages will more
than offset the extra money.
The feeling is general that the DEM
ocratfc convention will be held East,
80 that the business men having the
affair in charge are planning to con-
centrate their energies on capturing
the Republican event.

seventy years ago it admitted boats
drawing not more that ~ feet of
water and carrying not over 40 tons.
The enlargement OF 1862 increased the
depth Of water to Z feet apd permitted
a load of 24O tons. The appropriation
of 100000 just approved at the polls
will secure a depth Of 8 feet and
heavier loads in proportion. The canal
has cost the state $117,O0O.O0O and re-
turned in tolls $133, 100000. It has
yielded a good direct profit and an
enormous indirect return. The new
appropriation may be regarded q IN
