and convicted, He was sentenced to be
hanged, but secured a new trial and was ac.

cratic Convention Hannacrats.
To advocate an ''income tax and oppose
the extension "of the national banking system
is execrably IN Hannacratic.
The N. Y. Journal says ''The men who
organized the Indianapolis Convention are
men who are bitterly opposed to an income
tax. because they would have to pay it or lie
out It, They prefer high tariff taxes, which
they do not have to pay, aud for this reason
strive to elect Mckinley, who has reduced the

As an evidence of the hard road the Repub-
