The Election Law.

Ii the Walton election law was
designed to prevent the bribery
of voters, the scenes at our election
last Tuesday proved that it was a
complete failure. y large number,
if not all, the floating voters IN
this neighborhood we're bribed; at
least such IS the report, and a
large number of persons who wit
messed the election methods, be-
lieve the report to be true.
The kind OF election law, which
We need, is one that will punish
the purchaser of votes and not the
seller. Under the present law both
are Punishable and it is Impossible
to get witnesses. If only the pur'
chasers were punishable, witnesses
could be made OF all who sell their
votes; and fit were impossible to
get these, detectives could be en-
ploy ed and the bribery Of voters
would become a very dangerous
practice.

FRIDAY. NOV. =. 1898.
The Election.

The election IN the 1Oth Sena-
torial district has resulted as the
thoughtful and unexclted citizens
expected. When the contest began
the republicans were devlded into
factions, while the democrats pre-
sented a solid front. a disagree.
mens over matters of trivial i'm
portance, divided the democrats
of the district into two almost equal
factions. The republicans, seeing
their opportunity, at once stopped
their quarrehng about matters OF
no Importance, and seized the
prize, which the democrats quar-
relied over to the end of the race.
As a result of the unnecessary
quarrel, a district that was demo
cratic by a large majority has a
republican Senator, and a county
that was sltely democratic was
turned over to the Honest l. &C.
ton party. As we lntimated sew
eral weeks ago, the democrats
have not lost everything. 1t is
trne that nositlOns Of honor which
they mad held for years have been
turned over to thelr opponents,
but they have gained some very
valuable experience.

HOLMES FOUND GUILTY.

HOLMES FOUND GUILTY.
Philadelphia Nov. 3-Herma u
W. MIDGET, known as Henry II.
Holmes was convicted of murder
IN the first degree last night for
killing Benjamin f. Pitezel.
There is no word of pity or sym
patby for the condemned felon.
He is regarded as menace to So
ciety. Up in Gilmanton, New
Hampshire, there are two cd PEG
PIE, his father and mother, aud he
has also two brothers and two sls-
ters. Not one of his kin was heard
from during the trial.
Mr.. George s. Graham, Com
mOnweaIth's attorney, opened the
days proceedings With a speech OF
two hours and a half, in which be
reviewed the evidence ard argued
that the verdict Of the jury should
be murder in the FIRST degree.
Mr.. Samuel f. Rotan, counsel
for the prisoner, followed IN an ar
gument for acqlittal on the ground
that the State had not proved be-
You'd a reasonable doubt that Pite-
eel bad not committed suicide.
Judge Arnold delivered a
lengthy and careful char g to tbs
jury and the case was committed to
their hands.
The jary retired to deliberate
at 5 40 o'clock Ia the afternoon
and had reached their VET dict be-
fore the doors OF their room clos
ed upon them. Belug hungry,
they ate their suppsr first. T1en
they took a ballot. and without
hesitation every man OF the
twelve answered "G1iIty OF mar
der 10 the first degree" Not wish
ing their action to appear hurried,
they talked about the case for a
seemly period-about an hour and
a half. Then word was sent into
court that they had agreed. This
was at S.15 o'clock, 1t took half
hour to get the court in readiness
to receive the verdict.
After Judge Arnold and the
counsel and court officials had
taken their places the jury fled in-
to the courtroom. Then, amid an
silence, Holmes was
brought in and placed in the dock.
For a moment there was not a
sound. The silence was painful
and every heart in that crowded
room throbbed faster. The man
who was about to hear his doom
pronounced stood erectin the dock
the same deathlike pallor, which
could grow no deeper, on his face.
lie stared at the jury bIaDkIy, his
hands clasped behind his back
Once or twice he mOistened his
lips with his tongne. There was
no other sign of agitation.
When the foreman, In answer to
the usurl question, said &c iilty of
murder in the first degree Holmes
cleared his throat, but his shrlnS-
en- form never trenbled, his lips be-
trayed no q1iver-his marvellous
nerve had not forsaken him.
There was only a tighter clasp OF
the hands folded behlnd him.

MARTIN IS OUT. The Ex-Senator Will Not
 Be Governor. He Prefers to Be on
 the Bench.
Will Go to the Indian Territory
 Instead of Arizona.
The Repor. of Inspector Olive on the Sesretary's Desk and Soon to
 Be Taken Up.

WASHINGTON, Sept 2s. -(Spe- cial. .)-There is one candidate less for governor of Arizona Ex-Senator Martin, of Kansas, to whom it was re- ported the governorship had been ten dered, is now booked for judgeship in the Indian Territory.
 q It has developed that Martin never really wanted to go to Arizona and that he preferred judicial appoint ment instead.
 Now the ex-senator, Martin, who is a warm friend of Cleveland. is to be considered in connection with the ap- pointment of judge in the Indian Ter ritory to succeed Charles Stuart. A friend of the senator's has filed an ap- plication suggesting that he is avail able judicial timber and would be an excellent man for the office, and it is understood that he will be appointed. In connection with the governorship of Arizona, the matter has not yet been settled. Inspector Olives report did not reach the interior department un- N til the president and Secretary Smith had left Washington for the heated term. The report is now on Secretary Smiths desk and will soon be disposed of If change is made home man will be appointed, that seems certain
