Mckinley and Boss Plat have made
a deal which will kill Seth Lows can
didacy for mayor of Greater New York,
make ex-Secretary Tracy the republican
candidate backed by all the inhuenc eof
the administration, and send Plat and
his henchmen to the next republican
national convention as Mckinley
shouters. Boss Plat did not relish
the latter part of the program, but it
was case of "must" with him and
Mckinley knew it as we'll as he did,
and knowing it would accept nothing
short of an iron-clad pledge of support
in exchange for the administration in
huence in favor of Tracy and against
Low. The deal was kept very quiet,
but it leaked out even before Mr..
Tracy, who had previously declared
that he would not be the candidate, an
nounced his willingness to accept the
republican nomination. According to
democratic advices; it will make no
difference who the republican nominee
is, a democrat will be elected. 1t is
understood that Vice President Hobart
is also in the deal, and that the next
republican ticket is to be, if the parties
to the deal have their way, the same as
the last, Mckinley and Hobart. 1t is
also said that Plat got Mckinley s
promise to make him secretary of the
treasury, the position he has vainly
sought for so many years, if he is re-
elected.

The disposition to poke fun at ex-
Senator Edmunds and his ten associ-
ates, who have met in Washington and
organized themselves into a so-called
monetary commission, has been more
pronounced than ever since Mr., Ed
munds issued an explanation of why
they are in session. He admits that
they have no authority and that they
can not even approach congress with q
suggestion as to legislation, except
through the right of petition, possessed
by every citizen. In the face of that
admission, the star chamber meetings
of these agents of the Indianapolis
Gold Bankers Convention of last win
ter, appear to be farcical in the ex-
treme, and the result of their delibera-
ton is likely to be just about as in.
fuential with congress as would be 6

Defendant indicted convicted and
sentenced to death for the murder of
Walter Galloway near Jonesboro on
the evening of July 8, 1897. Galloway
went to the house of Mr.. Boring on
the evening in question and asked Sims
to put up his horse and offered him a
nickle. This, Sims refused saying he
woulo not put it up for five dollars.
Gollaway then told him that he didn't
want to fight there, but he would meet
him afterwards and have it out. Mrs.
Boring then had Sims put up some
milk after which Sims loaded the gun
and went towards the barn where the
killing occurred. 1t was proven that
Sims had some hostile feelings toward
the deceased. No eye witness except
the defendant himself testified as to
the actual killing. Two weeks after
the killing he was placed on trial. The
defendant made an affidavit for o con-
tinuance on account of the feeling
against him. This was overruled and
the action of the trial judge in refusing
continuance was assigned as error.
Held to have been in discretion of trial
judge. The selection of the jury was
also assigned as error. The supreme
court found that there was no error in
the Judgment of the court below and
Sims was sentenced to be hanged

Every time democratic paper tells the
truth and states that Mr.. Brownlow is
the most useful member the district

count of his long training in oil the de-
