PLEA FOR M'KANE'S PARDON.
HIS HEALTH SAID TO BE FAILING
PROFITABLE MAN IN PRISON.

Albany, Feb s.-Application will be made IN
the near future for the pardon or cummutauon
OF sentence Of John Y. Mckahe lie Is nov
serving q sx-year term in Sing Sing. which does
not expire until 1895 Or Il. T. Irvine. the
prison physician. has certified 10 the fact that
McKane is suffering from lesion Of the heart;
Bright's disease and asthma and that the damp
ness Of the cells and his confinement are having
a disastrous effect upon his health.
McKane has been in charge Of the construction
of the new buildings at Sing Sing. and it Is esu
mated that he has saved the State about $1,000
General benjamin i. Tracy and Edward NJ
Shepard who were the prosecuting attorneys on
the McKane trial. have signihed their willingness
to appear before Governor Morton on Mckane's
behalf on the ground that justice has been vndi-
Gated and that McKanc's sentence was heavy
one under the circumstances.
McKane was convicted at time when public
sentiment was running high OF the technical OF
fence Of aiding and abetting inspectors OF cleo
tion in Gravesend in refusing to have the
registry list Of voters accessible. as required by
law II McKane had himself destroyed the
registry books he would have been guilty Of
msdemeanor and could have been punished by
imprisonment for year as an extreme PEN
atty The Court. however held that he was
guilty Of a felony. because he YVES charged with
|
registry books to the public.
The application to the Governor will among
other things state that the jury had considerable
difficulty in arriving at the verdict. and pre-
sented with It a plea for mercy and clcmency
on behalf Of the defendant in the strongest pos
slble language. The jury said:
We the Jurors IN the OF John Y. McKane,
impeed by q belief in the good character and
reputation hitherto held by the said John y. Nc
Kane and Of the many excellent qualities OF heart
testified tc by persons Of undoubted reputation
clemency in his behalf. and wish 1t understood
that this plea is couched In the most Impressive
and strongest possible language.
This communication alone. aside from the other
considerations offered in his behalf. 1t Is said.
would Justify the pardon Of McKane at the ex-
piration OF two years imprisonment, the mini
mum term prescribed for the offence. The ap-
pljcation will probably be made 10 the Governor
next week
Neither General Tracy nor Mr.. Shepard could be
found last evening. The former was said TO be in
Philadelphia. When pardon for John Y. McKane
WAS mentioned a short time ago Mr.. Shepard was
quoted as saying that ne would push the other In
ti,ctments hanging over the head OF the en-
boss Of GraYesend.

Intended TO boom the nomination of Governor

committee and ii required only few minutes

There was another matter before the COM
mittee yesterday which occupied its time for
about three hours 1t was the memorial which
had been adopted by the Committee of Five
Hundred in this ci,y. protesting against the or
ranization of the Republican County Commit
Tee on the basis Of a corrupt and fraudulent en-
rolment and by means of equally corrupt and
fraudulent primaries. The memorial Itself was
not read to the State Committee as 1t had been
published In full IN The Tribune, and had been
read by every member Of the committee; but
four out Of five members of the Committee on
Investigation, which had the memorial In
charge. appeared before the State Committee
and fully explained the reasons for the protest

Of whom are also members Of the Republican

wrongs complained OF, and should not order con-
yentons to be called until the wrongs had
been redressed They also listened 10 a defence
Of the County Committee by Edward Lauter-
bach. Then the State Committee showed its
contempt for the men who were protesting
against fraudulen. and corrupt practices. The
commit ee declared that the County Commit
tees action had been regular, and referred the
memorial 10 that organization.
THOSE on HAND.
The appearance of Mr.. Lauterbach before the
State Committee was more effective, perhaps. as
one of the four advisory members Of the COM
mittee than as county chairman The other
three advisory members were not present when
the State Committee met in ParlOrs DIR of
the Fifth Avenue Hotel an hour before noon. T.
C. Plat, who lives at the hotel had taken a
trip TO Washington. but was supposed to be
fully aware Of what the State Committee would
do IN his absence, while Warner Miller and
Chauncey NJ. Depew had kept themselves apart
from all meddling with the committees affairs.

two gallons As background to the more elaborate

the upper half OF the cup. between two Of the han
dies Is the following inscription. also etched:
