way Robbery.

Clerk Of the Courts John II. Thomas
received notice Saturday from Warden
Cassidy of the Eastern penitentiary,
that Thomas Fitzpatrick's term was
served. The defendant was sentenced
on May 3. 1883, by Hon. Alfred Hand,
then president judge OF Lackawanna
county. to ten years In Cherry Hill for
highway robbery.
1t was most daring crime. John
Wynn, a well-known resident of Belle
vue. on Saturday night. Dec. II. 1887,
was standing in front of his home with
about $1,000 in his pockets. and Fitz-
patrick and companion. Thomas
Sheridan. came along. They knocked
him down, robbed him of the money
his watch and chain, and to prevent
an outcry they stuffed snowbals in his
mouth.
Fitzpatrick got two years and one
month abatement from his sentence
for good behavior during incarceration
Sheridan. who got similar sentence
was pardoned three years ago through
the efforts of Editor X. j. Beamish,
then a practicing attorney.

NOT A ONE MAN IDEA,
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your article in this mornings issue
correcting wrong impression regarding
Governor Mckinley was a manly article
and to be commended by every lover Of
justice. There has been too much of q
disposition manifest lately of holding
Governor Mckinley up to the public as Il
man of a single idea: that he lacks, the
breadth OF views, and a general knowl-
edge of public affairs which are possessed
by other asprants in the presidential
race. These hints and surnisinss in this
direction are mean and untruthful. There
is not a name mentioned in connection
with the office of president who is better
His service in the army, his service in
local politics, his long and faithful SER
vice In congress. and his honorable SER
vice of two terms as governor of the
In contact with men and with public af-
fairs, that II elected president he will
come to that office fully equipped for the
great labors required of him.
1t is because of his ability to manage
the affairs of that office that the ring
politician is against him. If he was some
political novice who would be simply the
tool of every machine boss, then they
would all be for him with rush. When
his name was first mentioned for COVER
nor of Ohio, there were few who gave
utterance to the same sentiments that
have been too common of late. But the
facts are that Ohio never had a better or
more efficient governor. After serving
two terms he retired from the office with
the approval of every citizen Of that
state. No person can truthfully say mean
things of Governor Mckinley, and the
man who hints that he is only a one
horse sort of fellow, does so simply be-
cause the wish is the father to his words.
The people are for Mckinley. The ma
chine politician is for somebody else. Now
let all be treated fairly. AS rule, the
people are right. 1t has often been the
case that great mistakes were made
when their wishes were trampled upon.
long ago 1t is to be hoped that the les-
son will not soon be forgotten. What Is
to hinder the people of this county from
expressing their wishes for president
Are the politicians afraid to trust the peo-
pie? Who can answer?

STATEMENT BY MR.. cH1TTENpEN.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial Of Saturday, en-
titled '"The Portico ISSUE" seems to me
80 well calculated to mislead that portion
Of the public that relies upon your Journal
for information on public affairs, as to
justly demand plain statement of the
other side of the case. Admitting for dis
cussion only. that Mr.. Frothingham's o.
cupation Of the sidewalk is picturesque
and fills long-felt want, will not a porti-
co also be needed at once at the Academy
Of Music? 1t Is, perhaps, narrow-minded
to confine the hotel guests who now on hot
summer nights sprawl around the ten-foot
reservation to that narrow compass. Ey-

ceive the control and occupancy of the
sidewalk with an awning. but this prlvi-
