Holmes Found Guilty.

It % possible that the verdict of
guiity. promptly returned by the jury
in the Holmes case, Saturday, is the
correct one. Tho verdict certainly re-
ceives public approval, upon what "a
somewhat vaguely called general
principles" Here wes q man accused
Of not simply one horrible crime. but
Of dozen, each involving circum-
stances Of fiendishness rarely equalled
In criminal annals. The narration Of
these crimes, with elaboration and en-
bellishment, has occupied the attention
Of the press of the country for months;
and quite without exception 1t has
been assumed that the prisoner COM
mitted all of them, and probably more
besides. The adjectives used in un-
folding these daily tales Of perfldy and
assassination have been seasoned to
the fun limit OF journalistic sensa-
tionalism; the resources Of art have
been added Until pictures of grim
houses with blood-meared walls, wind
ing subterranean passages and trap
doors. appear in ones mental perspec-
tive at the very mention Of Holmes
name; and the Imagination Of a con-
tinent has been filled with fement
OF horror.
It was at the height Of this ferment
That Holmes was rushed to trial. He
had, almost alone. to face the resources
Of one Of the most perfect court me-
chanisms IN the country-a mechanism

As delicate way Of telling the Demo-

vote for Judge Smith alone among the
Democratic candidates for Superior
court Judge, the Scranton Times writes
an ingenious letter to itself, purporting
to come from Disguised kepuuii-

We would not allude to this, because
1t primarily is a matter for our Demo-
cratic friends to settle among them
selves, were it not that our Democratic
afternoon contemporary, in its fake
letter, alleges that there are number
Of Republicans in this county who, like
the alleged writer Of that imaginary
letter, are "disgusted" with their state
ticket and are anxious to avoid voting
for 1t. This statement we desire fatty
to challenge. 1t is not true. and we
suspect our contemporary knows that
It is not Every man on the Republican
ticket, state and local, was nominated

those who assert their Republican al

are entitled, because of geographical
and personal reasons, to the votes Of
many who ordinarily do not vote the
