OUT OF POLITICS,
Gov. Altgeld Has No Desire To BE
e-Prcsident

Chicago, Nov. 1o.--Gov. Altgeld has
returned with the Chicago party which
went to Atlanta, and said, when asked
if there was any truth in the talk of
his being a candidate for the vice-pres-
idency: You can say that Altgeld is
out of politics. am eagerly looking
forward to the close of the next four
teen months, when | will turn over to
the people the finest state government
on earth, and quit politics forever. /

characterized as a malicious, con-

refused to participate in parade with
federal troops He said the lie was
conceived by Chicago morning news
paper and that federal troops were
not asked to parade on Illinois day.

MAYOR CURTIS AssAILED.
Taken 10 Task by the South for Pre-
siding at the Anti-Lynch Meeting,

iaken TO Iask by the South for Pre-
siding at the Anti-Lynch Meeting.
Boston, Nov. 19.-More than half of
yesterdays mail to Mayor Curtis was
from various sections of the south.
These letters, on the whole, aim to
justify the lynching and burning of
colored men south of Mason and Dix
on's line. Among many of the letters
abuse was predominant, especially in
those from Fort Worth and Sherman,
Texas, and Shelbyville, Tenn. Along
with many of the letters are newspaper
clippings, some of them illustrated, of
the recent burning at Tyler, Tex.
Some of the writers appear surprised
at the fact that the mayor of Boston
would preside at an anti-lynching
meeting Some think that all the peo-
pie in Boston are fools, idiots and
negro sympathizers. Others invite
his honor to come south and receive
some instruction before presiding over
any more such meetings. In nearly
all the letters Congressman Morse.
Rev. f. b. Scully, Edward G. Walker
and all the speakers come in for con
siderable abuse. One letter goes so
far as to say that if any of the colored
speakers were to show up in Texas
they would be treated to a lynching
bee. The Cradle of Liberty" is
sneered at, and one letter goes so far
as to state that they will send mission
aries up north to teach Bostonians how
to rule 'niggers.

RUSH FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES
Baltimore's Bureau Was Closed

Baltimore, Nov. 10.-When the office
of the clerk of the court of common
pleas opened yesterday there was line
of applicants waiting for marriage Ii

since last Wednesday owing to the
death of chief clerk John T. Gray.
The wheels of matrimony were at

clerk of the court of common pleas

sor was appointed last Saturday, and
yesterday more than fifty permits to

Washington, Nov. IA report was
prevalent yesterday that Mr.. Terrell,
the United States minister at Constan-

to President Cleveland. Secretary
Olney declined to say anything about
the rumor. Mr.. Terrell is giving great
satisfaction to the state department
and there is seemingly no reason why
he should desire to resign, particularly
when he would, by SO doing, be desert
ing his post of duty in grave emer-
gency.

Philadelphia, Nov 19.-The argu-
ment for new trial for the convicted
murderer IL. II. Holmes was heard yes
terday in the court of oyer and termi-
ner and this remarkable case furnished
another sensation. One of the counsel
for the prisoner produced an affidavit
IN court alleging to show that Pietzcl,
the murdered man, contemplated sui
eide. Amidst the silent amazement of
the spectators and the shocked aston
ishment of the court District Attorney
Graham proved the affidavit to be false
and showed that Mr. Shoemaker, the
attorney for Holmes, who offered it,
had paid the woman who swore to it
twenty dollers for doing So
Shoemaker Held Under Bail
Shoemaker was so overcome by this
exposure that he could make no ey-
PLANTATION, and at the conclusion of the
argument he was held in 81 800 bail by
the court to answer to the charge of
subornation of perjury. While the
judge was addressing him Mr.. Shoe
maker stood pallid and nerveless, and
when his honor had finished he made
an inarticulate effort to say something.
but his voice cholled and he sat down
silently. The court reserved its de
cision upon granting Holmes a new
trial, but that a new trial will be re-
fused from the line of questioning
adopted by the bench is undoubted,
Shoemaker procured bail, but refused
to make any statement in regard to
the affidavit. He would only say that
it was a most cruel and unexpected de-
velopment to him, and that he under
stood his whole professional career was
at stake.
MIR. Rotan Exonerated.
Mr.. Rotan, Mr.. Shoemaller's col
league, was greatly worried over the
affair, as he feared that it would reflect
upon him, but as it was clearly shown
in court that he had no hand in pro-
curing the affidavit, the bench of Judges
eXonerated him from blame.
Holmes in Court.
Holmes was in court during the ar
gument, and he has failed perceptibly
in looks since his trial. He has lost the
prison blanch which paled his cheek,
and hectic flush has taken its place.
His eyes are bloodshot, and dark rings
around them tell of anxious days and
nights. His manner was not as cool
and unconcerned as it was during his
trial, and he showed an almost fever
ish interest in the proceedings As
formerly, however, he retained his
self-possession and took notes of the
district attorneys argument and
prompted his lawyer during his address.
