Sealed Verdict to Be Rendered in
the Lansden Case.
Gas Company Deferred by
the Defense.

The suit of Thomas G. LansGen against
the Washington Gaslight Company, ana
some OF It's Officials, for $4,000 damages
Went to Jury yesterday afternoon ard q
sealed verdict will be returned this morn
nE.
me morning was spent in the discussion
of prayers and the remainder of the day
III argument Mr.. j. j. Darling ton, for the
prosecution, agreed that the case against
McssrS. Mclean and Orme might be practi-
cally ignored, ard Judge Cole said he
would so instruct.
The prayers offered by Mr.. Darlington
were mainly directed To the question
whether the figures given by Mr.. LanSdcn
To The committee OF Congress III 1894 We're
essentially the figures furnished by Mr.
Charles h. Bailey, secretary of the com
pany, who is one OF the defendants He
asked II they were found 10 be the figures

given III favor of MIR. Lansden.
He further asked That the words used. the
character OF the publication and the eX-
tent OF injury he all considered in fixing
the sum AWARDED He did not ask the
award of punitive damages, though he
thought there was some ground for this
In ohiecting TO these prayers Attorney
Webb Tor the gas company said an Illus
tratiOn used by Mr.. Darlington, he thought
was not admissible, and Judge Cole replied
Ire was III doubt himself as 10 the use OF such
a comparison in the prayer. Mr.. Darling
ton quickly responded that this very com
parison had been used by the United States
Supreme Court originally had been en-
ploycd in n prayer ana its use sustained
by n Supreme Court decision by Justice
Field.
The defense made an especial point in its
prayers OF the doubt that the letter written
by Mr.. Leech 10 the publisher had been in
tended for publication.
Attorney Brown for the defense asked
for instructions that if the directors OF the
gas company did not know beforehand that
Mr.. Leech would write the letter nor
formally sanction ii after ii was written
llie company was not liable.
Mr. Webb In his argument urged that Afr.
i-tnSden had inevitably thrown himself
out of employment among gas companies

House, no matter whether the letter had
been published or not.
a number OF exceptions were noted by the
defense and an appeal will be taken If

From . Manifesto By the Niinois souna
Aonoy Domoorate.

A national convention convened under
the constituted authority of our party
has just closed its sessions In the city Of
Chicago.
1t entered upon it's work by violating
all p~recedents in the rejection of q dis
tinguished Democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
1t deprived q sovereign state of q voice
In its deliberations by u~nseating without
cause or legal justification delegates
elected with all the regularity known to
party organization.
1t refused to endorse the honesty and
fidelity of the present Democratic ma
tional administration.
1t adopted a platform which, favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver BY
this country alone at the ratio of 16 to [.
and thereby it ~repudiated a time-honorei
Democratic principle which demands the
strict maintenance of q sound and stable
national currency.
Finally, to make it palmer that, al
though in name, it was not in fact q
Democratic convention, it nominated for
President one who is not in his political
convictions, and has not always beep
even in his professions, a Democrat.
