body, bloatod almost beyond recognition,
was found i'm saltwater river, ncar the
bridge over that river just north of Day
ton. The coroner supposed it a case Of
simple rowning-pcrhups a suicide Bes-
slc's known delicate condition suggested
suicide Public sentiment demanded
closer investigation. The body was ex-
humcd and re-examined. A bullet that
had entered the right ear was found
lodged in the brain.

CHAIRMAN GARMAN has issued u call re
conveuiug the Democratic state convention
at Harrisburg next Thursday, TO reconstruct
the electoral ticket and adopt platform in
line with the action of Popocratic convention
at Chicago. This has been found necessary be-
cause so many Of the presidential electors on
the Democratic ticket have resigned since the
Chicago convention repudiated the cherished
doctrines of the Democratic party. Whether
Chairman Garman and his free silver follow
ers will be able on Thursday 20 have the con-
yention endorse the Bryan platform isyery
doubtful. The sound money Democratic
delegates will attend the convention and OPP
nose any such movement and as they are
said to be in the majority there is likely to
he some fun. Many of the conservative gold
men are opposed to Garman's program, be-
cause they do not like the idea of repudiat-
ing their views of four months ago at Allen
town. They were honest in their expressions
for the gold standard at that time, and do not
like the idea of placing themselves in the
pOsition of assailing their former opinions
Chairman Garman was just as enthusiastic

for gold at that time, but he is looking Tor poll
tical profcrmcnt and cares little for opinions
publicly expressed. lie has prepared neat
game for controlling Thursdays convention
by oustng those delegates who are not tainted
with the silver craze. The planis to reorgan-
ize the convention by electing new officers
and COMMITTEES, the latter being in favor Of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
The platform will be assigned to "A new COM
mittcc, and in this way German expects to
compel the convention to do the great con-
torton act in manner to his own liking.
At least one of the delegates from this county,
Johr y. Dcncc, has bolted the ticket 1t is to
be seen whether the delegates from this dis
trict NJ j. Scanlan, James j. Quirk and
p. j. Ferguson, will repudiate their former
opinions for those of some one else.
