prising and successful, and that cost
him a nomination.
Business success seems to be one
thing that the Populists can never ex-
cuse.
Again in several states Democratic
electors have already been nominated.
They were chosen before the Chicago
convntion. Many Of them now find
themselves in a very embarrassing po-
sitiOn. They do not indorse the Chi
cago platform. and yet if they are
elected they will be expected to vote
for the Chicago ticket. Their candi-
dacy is an appeal for votes for prin-
ciples which they denounce.
Several such electors. who cannot
conscientiously support the Chicago
ticket, have already resigned.

Sewall shows no disposition to get

The third in the series of lectures was
delivered at the court house last Tues.
day evening. 1t was Pres. Hancher's
second lecture On travel. A better ar-
dience than the one when he was last
here greeted him and he was at his best.
The nearer was carried from Florence
to Rome under the charm of travel.
Everything described was 80 wildly,
entsrtainingly and ~sloquently told that
the auditor lived it all over. The more
important places Of interest were visit
ed. Places, nature and art, incidents of
travel were SO iucidly and ~eloquently
described that for almost three hours
the audience was entirely in the speak.
srs power, Pres. Hancher is strong, in.
spring, instructive, eloquent. He is
a master Of details. Custer audiences
have never been treated to such intel
lectual feasts. He will we be welcome.
The effort on the part of the lecture
committee to raise the standard to such
q level is to be highly commended.
Those who have not availed themselves
of this excellent course are losing a
great deal. The next lecture will be
the stereoptican lecture on Abraham
Lincold, by Rey. Boswell, under date of
April 9TH. Arrangements are made to
admit the schools at the low price OF
fifteen cents. The house should bo
crowded.

Judge Plowman yesterday morning
handed down decision in the Horse.
shoe Mining company vs. Wilmot G.
White. The decision of the court was
voluminous and complicated and the
judge occupied about an hour in read
ing it. 1t seems that White was EN-
pioyed in tho spring Of 1892 at a salary
of $3.50 per month, and from the CORE
spondence in the case it is disclosed that
his employers, Mcssrs. Mckay 4 Sum.
mer, had implicit confidence in him and
reposed filial trust in his judgment and
integrity. These relations existed UP 10
the time of Whites death in the spring
Of 1894. During the summer and fall Of
1894 the d~irelections Of White began 10
appear and suit was instituted to re-
cover various sums of money alleged to

and transferred by HIM to his wife. 1t

day of last week. with a view to the
investigation of the property and its

whether slabs Of sufficient dimensions
to meet their requirements could be OBJ
tanned. They expressed themselves as
