The members of the Democratic
State Central Committee for this
county, have been very much embar-
raised by the districts not sending in a
list of the names of these they wish for
assessors at large. In many instances
the committees were obliged to rely
upon their own knowledge of the men
selected. We understand that it has
been the aim of the committees to Sc
lect representative men in every par
ticular. Had the local committees CIV
en- their aid and assistance in these
matters in some cases other names
might have been selected. The matter
is now in the hands Of the Governor

The Republican presidential elector
for the Sixth Congressional District
is Mr.. Merritt Wilson, of Garrett
County.
Robert s. Crawford and DR.. Heffner
will go as district delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention. This
is a great victory for Mr.. Gittinger.
who is now the leader OF the State adj
ministration in Frederick County. The
Frederick delegates at Hagerstown for
got Mr.. Motter, who won their fight,
and thus we find again the ingrattude
of men, who soon forget those who
make them.
Of the twenty-five delegates selected
by the Republican Convention in this
city, on Saturday last, twenty-one
were present at the convention IN Ha-
gerstown; fourteen were for Dr. Heffner
as a delegate to st. Louis and seven
were for Mr.. Motter. This is just as
we predicted-that Motter would not
be able to hold his men, either at Ha-
gerstown or Baltimore.
Mr.. Edward Gittinger was admitted
as a delegate, by proxy, to the Hagers-
town Convention, then he nominated
the successful chairman and represent
ed the county on the Committee on
Credentials, which recognized his
claims as a delegate. This was de-
cided defeat to the Motter combina-
ton.
The miners were loud in their denunci-
atiOns of Governor Lowndes and it was i'm
possible to get q resolution through the
HagerstOwn Convention endorsing the Gov
ernor. The miners who stood by him in
the last election are ready to kick them
selves for being so easily fooled. The cor
porations, they claim, own the Governor
body and soul, and the poor working man
can take his consolation in whistling the
old tune: st served me right, it served
me right"

Muncie. Ind, Feb. ia letter re-
ceived in this city to-day discloscs a
plot to lynch Scott Jackson. Alonzo
Walling. William Wood and the
Gasker Brothers. It says that at least
three thousand men will take part in
the killing. There now live in Muncie
three families that formerly resided
In the moonshiners district Of Ken

They are members of the moonshiners
organization which it is said hos over
1900 members. This morning one of
these men received q letter instruct
Ing them to come to Kentucky and
take part in the lynching.. The letter
stated that the mob would be fur
nished with Wholesalers; also that
q paper had been secretly circulated in
Newport, Ky, and 1900 men had
signed 1t, signifying their willingness
to join the moonshiners. 1t was
further said that unless the murderers
were taken to Kentucky a mob Of
1000 men would bear down on the
Cincinnati jail, armed with Win
chesters and lynch the men. Tho
Gasker Brothers are supposed to have
rowcd Pearl Bryan down the Ohio on
the night Of the murder. The man
who claims to have received the in
formation was once q moonshiner. He
says he will not go to Kentucky as

Cincinnati, Feb. 15.-When the

morning to take Jackson and Walling

crowd to catch glimpse of the prison.
ers. Both We're handcuffed, but they
entered into no conversation as they
met for the first time for several days
They were driven quickly to the city
hall. Meantime a most unusual scene
was witnessed in and about the court
room. There was wild struggle for
admission. An extra detail of officers
was necessary to keep the crowd from
degenerating into a mob. The prison.
ers both waived examination. and
were ordered to be committed without
bonds on the charge of being fugitives
from justice. The charges preferred
against jackson and Walling were
murder and fugitives' from justice.
Upon suggestion of Attorney Mercy,
who represented Walling, the charge
Of murder was withdrawn and the
other charge left against them. 1t is
understood this slgnified an acquis-
cence by the Cincinnati authorities in
the theory that the murder was COM
mitted in Kentucky, and that no re-
sistance would be made to the de-
mand for their removal to that state
for trial.

for some days but it was not pressed
pending consideration Of the urgent
deficiency appropriation bill. This
measure was disposed of at 4 o'clock
to-day and the struggle to advance
other measures began at once. Mr..
Morrill, was hurriedly summoned from

his motion. In the eantime Mr.. Call
had secured the enforcement of an
agreement entered into some days ago
that the Cuban question should be
taken up. Mr.. Morrill, was not de-
tered by the agreement. however, and
pressed his motion to take ND the
tariff. There was Il hurried assembling
OF senators who remained at the
capitol, but this was considerably
short of a full vote. The result of the
vote left the Cuban resolutions as un-
finished business, although these have
yielded temporarily to the military
academy and other appropriation bills.

substitute for steel in all the various

ships to bicycles. This means a re-
volution in the iron world. This dis
eovery was made by the Wizard last

experiments, he tried to bend 1t, but
found that it's nature had entirely
changed. and that 1t was as stiff as
