votes will go against the Rough Rider.
/ believe the Republicans should renomi-
nate Gov. Frank Black He is a candi-
date who would command great voting
strength at the polls. He has made an
excellent record as governor, and his ad-
ministration has met with the approval
of almost every Republican in New York.
In case Black cannot be agreed upon then
the convention should select John Jacob
Astor in preference to Roosevelt. AStOr

the soldier boys. He is well qualified for
governor and would make a good eXecu-
tive"

Il was over in New York last week"
said Col. William Dickson, the local DEM
ocratic politician, a the Riggs House last
evening, 'and I had several talks with
Richard Croker regarding the prospects
of the coming gubernatorial election in
the State. l do not think that the Demo-
Gratis have yet decided upon a man for
the nomination. 1t is my opinion that no
man will be selected by the leaders until
the convention is in actual session, when
it can be seen what kind OF platform is 10
be adopted and when a man can be Sc
lected who will fill the bill Mr. Croker
does not want to inject any national is
sues in the State platform. He is. I
think, opposed to a declaration for free
silver and will strive to the end that the
platform be framed along purely local
lines, containing nothing but local issues.
If Teddy Roosevelt is nominated by the
Republicans the Democrats can carry the
election without any difficulty. He has a
great many enemies in the State and a
large number of Republicans will cast
their votes against him.

THE CRIMINAL DOCKET.
Large List of Persons Charged With
Murder Awaiting TriaI.

The criminal docket at the approaching
term of the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict Will be unusually heavy and Dis
trict Attorney Henry f. Davis and his
assistants are busily engaged in prepar-
ing for the opening of the court Those
charged with murder, in the chronology
cal order of the commission of the crimes
are Samuel Williams, charged with the
murder of Frank Douglas, on June %;
George w. Horton, who killed Jane Mich
olson, June %; William Webster who is
charged with being the cause of the death
of James Shoemaker, a small boy in
Anacostia, on June 30, and William X
Reed, who stabbed Elizabeth Logan to
death, in South Washington, on Septem-
Der ).
The greatest interest centers in the trial
of Horton for the killing of Mrs. Mich
olson, the details of which were published
in The Times on the morning after the
murder. Since his incarceration Horton
has talked freely about the killing and
at first did not make any pretense of
trying to excuse himself, his only regret
being, he said, that he had not delayed
the killing of Mrs. Nicholson until he had
revenged himself on others who had per
secuted him. Since then and at the time
of his arraignment he has endeavored to
make a show of ignorance of the whole
affair until after the crime was COM
mitted.
1t is understood that his relatives and
friends will employ counsel to defend him
and a strong effort will be made to prove
that at the time he committed the crime
he was Suffering from temporary aberra-
ton of the mind.
The trial of Webster will also be closely
watched. He is accused OF being the
cause of the death of little James Shoe
maker, whom, it is alleged he kicked so
brutally at an open-air entertainment in
Anacostia one evening last Summer as to
cause his death. Webster has only one
arm and was a watchman at the place
where it is said he kicked young Shoe
maker. Besides the murder cases there
are several prisoners in jail charged with
assault with intent to kill who will also
be tried at the coming term of court.
Those under indictment are Nathaniel
Johnson, Samuel Johnson, Alfred Jones,
Robert L. Taylor William A Rabbit, and
John Thomas, alias John St Clair. Be
sides these there are Samuel Bait, Ber-
nard Brooks, Dennis inland, and James
H. Horah, who are out on bail Bait, it
will be remembered, is charged with be-
ing the cause of the death of John J.
Eagle in July last by running him down
on bicycle, and inland is accused of at
tempting to murder widow who refusel
to marry him. Horah is charged with
shooting and wounding Charles A. Fowle
for interfering with his domestic affairs.
