When Clerk Brophy asked Foreman

was filled with a joyful uproar Every
man olapped his hands and oheered. Mrs
Fleming did not lose her oomposure She
was Immediately surrounded by an enthu-
siastic crowd, who shook her hands and

In summing up the case and presenting
the evidence to the jury Recorder GoR
said; In spite Of the mass Of testimony
and the abstruse nature Of much of IL this
case comes down to simple question Of
fact concerning the guilt or innocence Of
this defendant" "
Then he called the jury's attention to
the fact that in order to make out case
OF murder IN the ursb degree bho elements
Of premeditation and deliberatlon must be
established After dilating on the fact
that premeditation and deliberation could
only be inferred or determined from what
was done the recorder went on to say that,
above all, murder by poisoning furnished
the most conclusive evidence Of premedi-
tation.
After more generalities concerning the
manner in which the oredibility Of wit
nesses could be impeached, the recorder
took hold Of Soheele, the expert chemist,
and told the jurymen that If they thought
his crediibilty had been successfully I'M
peached they could discard all his evidence,
or suoh of it as they chose. A general
refutation for untruthfulness did not neo-
essarily warrant the jury in rejecting all
that a witness had said. 1t came down In
the end to matter for them to decide
upon as to how much they would accept
and how much reject If any.

The platform was presented and adopt
cd as follows;
The Republicans of the United States, as
sembled by their representatives in national
convention, appealing for the popular and his
torical justification Of their claims to the
matchless achievements of 30 years Of Repub-
lican rule, earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelligences, ex
perience and conscience of their countTymen
in the following declaration Of facts and prin
ciples:
For the first time since the civil war the
American people have witnessed the calam-
itous consequences of full and unrestricted
Democratic control Of the government II has
been a record Of unparalleled incapacity, dis
honor and disaster. In administrative manage
ment II has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable
revenue, entailed On unceasing deficit. eked

money, piled up the public debt by S262, ,O00, ,00

rule. In the broad effect Of its policy 1t has
precipitated panic bliRhted industry and
trade with prolonged depression, closed fac
tories reduced work and wages, halted enter
prise and crippled American production whit

safety and individual interest demands that

hands OF those who have shown themselves in.
capable to conduct IL without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad and restored to the party
which for 80 years administered it with un'
equaled success and prosperity. And in this
connection we heartily indorse the wisdom,
patriotism and success Of the administration
of President Harrison.
THE TARIFF.-We renew and emphasize out
allegiance to the policy Of protection as the
bulwark Of American industrial independence
and the foundation Of American development
and prosperity. This true American policy
taxes foreign products and encourages homt
industry. II puts the burden of revenue on
