egates.
The table above shows that of the
delegates thus far elected 13l are
for silver and 1a4 for gold; bat if
the unit rule should not prevail not
less than 10 of the Michigan delega-
tion would vote for silver. It must
also be remembered that the two
largest States in the conceded gold
column are Pennsylvania and Massa
chusetts, while few of the Western
and Southern States are among
those who have already chosen dele
gates. It is conceded that New
York and all the other New England
States, Maryland, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, will elect gold delegates
but, aside from these States. it ap.
pears that the silver men have things
practically their own way. 1t was
claimed until short time ago thai
Kentucky, Virginia, Iowa, Illinois
and West Virginia were in th.
doubtful column. but now it ia al
most certainty that all these States
with the possible exception of Ken
lucky, will elect silver delegates.
According to the present indica

Republican Pets.

The republicans at the st. Joseph
convention this week, declared in
favor of high tariff, gold standard
and reciprocity, and the Hon. VIM.
Mckinley as their idol.
The democracy accepts the issue.
Reciprocity is the Blaine idea, but
it does not hsrmonize with Mckinley
protection. When the great Blaine
was alive, he denounced the Nc
Kinley tariff-as it did not furnish q
market for barrel of pork or q
bushel of corn.
A Mckinley high tariff is restrict
ed markets, and gold standard ,
contracted currency.
But protection and the gold stand
ard are a pair of twins. The higl
wall of protection gives the protect
ed manufacturer a grip on the con
sumer, as the gold standard glvsi
the money loaner grip on the pro
ducer. Embodied into law it meanl
the SO aeezing of the toiling millions
who produce the wealth by their la
Dor. Such will be the Legitimate
fruits of Republican policies.
The republican party would pu
the toiler between two grindinI
stones-high interest and high pro
lection, and if the poor devil man
aged to exist, he must be Thankful
The republican party is a grea
party-for the manufacturer an
money loaner-Sevada Mail.

Senator Faulkner. chairman of the
Democratic national Congressional
committee, said to-day that unless
there Is change, ve are likely to

Senator Hill and [ went over the

As is generally known there are two

Hill believes that the national com

Newport, KY, May 1.-THE Scott
Jackson case went to the jury at 10
o'clock this morning. Before retir-
pg the judges typewriter instruc.
f0ns, bloody clothes, letters and
kher articles that were shown in
hhdsnce were placed in their hands.
At Los p. m the jury returned to
hs court room with a verdict. Amid
dsath-like stiffness the foreman
fanded tho verdict to the clerk, who
Pad ~ follows: I'VE the jury, find
ths defendant, Scott Jackson, guilty
murder in the first degree, and
fl his penalty at DEATH
The Judge had previously an
founced that no demonstrations Of
lpproval or disapproval by specta-
or' would be permitted. Deputies
fTs placed throughout the room,
tlsh orders to bring before the court
1ay person disobeying this instruc-
fOn, to be punished for contempt.
ou'squently, the verdict was heard
nth silence, but Immediately upon
as adjournment of the court the
pecsators rushed to the jurors and
Faook each other by the hand, show

In long interview Jackson admits
his surprise over the verdict and
claims that he had proved an alibi.
He still maintains his innocence and
says that Walling killed Pearl Bryan.
The prisoner is greatly depressed
over the verdict and in his
interview could not suppress his
despondent feeling Walling was
also interviewed since the verdict
and express his satisfaction. He
still maintains that Scott Jackson
killed the girl and in his interview
repeatedly stated that jackson de-
serves hanging.
On Monday, January 81, just fif-
teen weeks ago last Monday, Pearl
Bryan OF Greencastle, Ind, arrived
in Cincinnati, to put herself in the
hands of her betrayer, Scott Jackson
at his request, to be relieved, as she
was led by him to hope, from shame
to herself and her family: After be-
ing with him Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, she was found
murdered, and with her head gone.
just fourteen weeks ago yesterday
Scott Jackson, with Alonzo Nj. Wal.
ling, as an accomplice, was arrested
and charged with her murder. A
tell tale shoe, and some bloody gar.
ments pointed out the identity OF
the victim. A scar on one hand, 8
peculiar formation of the toes OF one
foot established the identity Of Pearl
Bryan beyond doubt. The Campbell
county, Kentucky, grand jury indic:'
ed both jointly for the murder. Ex

LOUISIANA POPULIsTS.
They Nominate State Ticket, With A. B.
 Booth ait the Head.

Alexandria, La., Jan. 9.-The an- nouncement sent out last night that Judge A. A. Gunby had been nominated for governor by the populist caucus was premature. His nomination as governor and that of Booth for heutenant-govern- or was decided on in the caucus but after Judge Gunby's arrival late last night he decided that he did not want the nomi- nation. He notified the committee ap- pointed to wait upon him to this effect at 1:30 p. m. When the convention met this afternoon A. B. Booth of New Or leans was nominated unanimously and enthusiastically for governor. A strong effort was made to have Judge Gunby ac- cept the nomination for attorney-general, but he declined. The convention com pleted it's work by nominating J. N. Pharr for lieutenant-governor A. w. Mo Farland, secretary of state; L. l.. Suthon, attorney-general; John Pickett, treasur- CT; Joseph Kleinpetre, auditor, and Dr. Cook, superintendent of education. Pharr and Pickett are sugar planter republi- cans and their nominations are condi- tional on their acceptance. The platform which was adopted arraigns the demo- cratic party of Louisiana with sins of omission and commission, indorses free silver and opposes the suffrage amend ment to the state constitution, which will be voted on in the next election.

Goldbugs Seeking Comfort.

Washington, Jan. 9.-A very careful canvass of the senate on the free coin age substitute to the house bond bill has been made and 1t is claimed as result of that canvass that the majority in the senate In favor of free coinage at this time will be exceedingly small. Some of the so-called sound money" men go so far as to say that 1t may possibly be de- feated. A conference was held yesterday by MT. German and MT. Gray, represent ing the anti-silver men on the democratic side of the chamber, and MT. Aldrich on the republican side. These three men went over the situation in a thorough manner and came to the conclusion that there was good reason to regard the pas sage of a free coinage bill at this time as matter about which there is some doubt. They decline to mention any names. but 1t Is given out that there are twenty-six or twenty-seven republicans who will vote against the substitute and fourteen democrats, making total of forty or forty-one-within three or four of majority against the bill. The figures given are claimed to comprise a list of votes about which there is no doubt, they think, and that sufficient doubtful votes may be yet won over to defeat the bill
