Booming Cleveland for the Presidency.
Ambassador Bayard has returned to
Laadon tom bis visit to Italy, preparatory
to his leaving for America, when IL Is en-
peoted he will take up his residence once
more In orr city. The Ambassador Is out
booming ex-Presidant Cleveland for the
Presidency In 1900 although he would
prefer to SEQ him retire from public llfo.
He believes in the future, the people will
look back upon the four years of Mr.
Cloveland's last administration as one Of
the most momentous periods In our history
and realize that the part the President
played during those four years was fraught
with more Of good to the country at largo
than any other Of our Chief Executives.
He considers Mr., Cleveland the logical
leader of the Democracy and before the
present administration Is concluded, he
believes that almost the unanimous voice
of tho people will call upon him again to
take tho reins of the Government, Con.
tinuing, Mr.. Bayard says;
Il am an older man than Mr.. Cleveland
and have been longer in public life, and
my advice to any public servant who has
borne 80 much more than his share of tho
peoples burdens, and borne 1t with such
magnificent courage aud self.sacritice as
Mr. Cleveland has, would be to lay it down
when no can do SO, assured that the part
he has played will ensure for him the ever.
lasting gratitude Of his countrymGn.
Nevertheless, il, as Is entirely probable
there should be no leader so capable as
Mr.. Cleveland to take the helm In 1870, l
would be one of the first to ask him to
enter again upon the onerous task"

Legislative Districts,

The Constitutional Convention has di.
rided the State into Districts 30 as to give
tho Democrats 8 members Of the Senate
and the Republicans 8, making that body
permanently Democratic. The same ger
rymandering has also been practiced in
regard to the House, as tho districts arc
60 arranged that the Democrats viii have
10 members and the Republicans lG.
The wisdom exhibited by the Republi
can leaders in the last campaign, is now
apparent. In trying to kill AddickS, they
have e1fcctually killed themselves They
Erc bound hand and foot by Constitutional
and legislative enactmcnts, from which
there can be no appeal. If the Rcpubli.
can committee can divise any means by
which they can get out Of this entangio-
ment, we should like to have the matter
explained at the earliest possible date
We cannot sec how any advantage can
be gained by elimination and rCcrimtna-
ton, but the Republicans should bury
their differences and unto in one grand
effort to rescue our city MS well as the
State, from the hands Of their bctTayers.
The districts mapped out may bO found
in another column and the voters may all
red them and judge for themselves.

Imagine the horror of returning home
to find the horribly mutiIated head Of
your mother resting on platter at the
dinner table, That was the sight
which shocked and sickened Alfred
Haney, at noon to-day, when he enter
ed his home. The deed was commit
ted by Haney's demented wife
with an axe. The blow was doubt
less delivered while the old
lady was sitting down. When she fell,
the maniac seized butcher knife and
slashed at the victim g neck until it was
cut through. The bones she parted
with an axe. Then came the insane
idea of presei5ting the head to her hus-
band on platter.
Oa returning home, Haney found his
wife wandering around the yard, NUT
tering and wildly waving her arms.
The woman has, tor some time, shown
signs of insanity.
