SHERIFF HODGE SHOT THE BOLT AND

WAS LAUNCHED INTO
ETERNITY

Long before the hour set for
the hanging of William baltimore
the crowd began to gather around
the court house fence until there
we're fully thousand witnesses to
the fu!fllment of the law. When
the STAR reporter arrived On the
scene he with several other news
paper reporters, members Of the
bar and physicians were admitted
to the interior of. the Jail. Latt.-
more was found with the priests,
Father O'Riley and a visiting
priest, who were administering Ike
last rites of the Catholic church.
A representative of the Manhattan
View Co, asked permission to
take photo of the prisoner which
was granted, be seeming anxious
to have it done, and sat to the pho
tographer as eagerly as any pretty
school girl and requested a cop,
be sent to a friend in Augusta.
The prisoner seemed ready to
talk and when asked by the STAR
reporter as to how he felt SAID IL
am perfectly ready to die, God has
pardoned all my sins and am 1e
conciled to my fate. Do you feel
that the execution is just? Eyes

A few minutes after twelve tbs

mounted the scafold which was 8
feet high, erected at the west door
of the Jail with a trap deer held il
place by bolt to which
was attached small
rope leading to an upstairs win
dow where a concealed man was
to do the pulling. Latte more wa
placed upon the trap. Sheriff
Hodge read the death warrant and
asked the prisoner to speak if ht
wishes to say anything. He said:
II have nothing TO say only that ]
am ready and willing to die"
Looking around over the vast au
dience, without, and the officers,
rifles and reporters within, said;
"Les all young people take warn

ple who are well educated on public
questions cannot come by any evasions
or straddles, and il it could, there would
be no advantage to the masses in such
success. 1t was tried in 1892. We
want no more of it,
Referring to the Argonaut's suggestion
that those Democrats who cannot "en-
dorse all the articles Of the Chicago plat
form" ought not to be told that their
aid is not sought" we have to say that
no such idea has been present TO us.
There are q number of good meu--just
not subscribe to call the articles of the
Chicago platform" We respect the con
victions of all such men. Some Of them
are among our warmest personal friends.
We do not mean to say that they are
uppatriotic or dishonest. We DO say to
them that, holding such views, they
ought not to try to lead n party against
which they voted in the last National
election, and that the party cannot fol
low their leadership without stultifying
itself and becoming in sense unfaithful
to the promulgated creed Of the party.
Is there insult in that? Is that to say
that their help in not wanted? We
think not.
Our position is that the Democratic
party, in its highest law-making body
having declared the creed of the party,
no man ought to be put in a position
where he viii be selected as n leader
who speaks authoritatively for the
party. who is not in thorough accord
with the creed of the party. Lee gave
men muskets to follow him in the great
battles of the civil war who were known
by him to be out of sympathy with his
line of policy, but he gave leadership or
generalship to men who were willing to-
march in the direction mapped out by the
chosen leaders. The cases are identical.
