The letter was addressed to | Cendai & Co, and was addressed to Durham Depot, Conn.,, Box 72. Fran l cesco was defended by Attorney J. P. 1 Goodhart. Francesca stated that upon | finding the letter was not for him he 1 inquired of several men named Cendali and ascertained that the letter was not | theirs. He says the letter was address, ed to his box because one of the Gen. dalis formerly worked for him in the business of burning charcoal From l the circumstances Commissioner Wright was of the opinion that there | was no intent on the part of the de- fendant to steal the letter, and he was discharged.

 Condition is Serious.
 Hartord, Sept. 19.-Ex- United States Senator William w. Eaton, whose health for some time has been declining, was stricken with paralysis at his home on Church street Sunday night. pr. George c. Bailey was called to attend him.
 The doctor found that MT. Eaton's left side was affected. The paralysis extended to his organs of speech, mak- ing his articulation very imperfect and quite indistinct. Owing to the venera- ble gentleman's age-he will, if he lives, celebrate his eighty-fourth birthday next month-the gravest doubts are entertained of his recovery.

THE SUICIDE OF CROKER.

An impulse similar to that which often drives
criminals within reach Of retrbution constrains
Richard Croker at frequent intervals TO direct
public attention anew to his wanton attack
upon the independence of the Judiciary. There
are thousands OF respectable voters who feel
that. whatever else may be toerable In poll
tics, the degradation Of the bepch Is not to be
endured. and who did not need Croker's angry
outbreaks to convince them Of his eagerness
to control the courts. But there are presum-
ably good many persons who would not have
realized the gravity of the situation II he had
maintained the silence which used to serve
him. For this reason 1t Is we'll that he talks so
much and so wildly. His present mood OF gar
rulity, doubtless inspired by rage and appre-
hansion, Is extremely useful. 1t concentrates
public obsory lion upon the man and thereby
makes more od'ous rs well as more familiar
The pr pose which he IS resolved 10 accom-
plsh.
Before the judiciary Convention Croker was
cheerful AID complacent. He didn't want and
wouldn't .nve another term Of Justice DAILY,
and irat eettled it. After the convention had
done rs will, and while he still supposed that
the storm Of Indignation wouldn't amount to
much, he was characteristically impudent but
vet comparatively calm. Justice DAILY was
elected by Tammany Hall, after he was dis
covered by Tammany Hail. and Tammany
Hall had right TO expect proper consideration
at his hands" That was his answer TO OBJ
jectors ten days ago the proper considera-
ton" which Judge DAILY withheld being rank
appointment and an unwarrantable decision
favorable TO Cookers business interests. But
the storm has broken in a way to terrify him.
and with the natural instincts Of some persons
under such conditions he has begun TO curse
and scream Now he says that Justice DAILY
lacks ability and fitness for the bench, that he
positively Is not upright. that Elihu Root has
n smrched record, that Bourke Cochran Is at
his mercy. that the whole movement In defence
Of a pure judiciary Is hypocritlcal and dis
honest trick And he wants this stuff to reach

Well. it will reach them 1t has reached
most Of them already. As a rule they dlstrust
and detest its author, Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike They see him in possession OF the
Mayors office in this city already. They under
stand that he means to own the Governor OF
the State. They are becoming aware, largely
through his own utterances that he Is justly
arralgned for attempting TO debauch the judi
ciary, and they will teach him on November
a lesson he will never forget.

ONLY A LOCAL ISSUE.

The Democratic campaign managers are max
ing frantic efforts to confine the Indignation
of the honest members of their own party over
Richard Croller's nsolent attack the indie
pendencc of the judiciary TO this county. They
are evidently prepared to pay the penalty here
for the inconceivable folly Of their vindictive
leader. The workers concede that Croker made
n blundcr from which they would have saved
him If his puffedup vanity had not made him
an unapproachabe despot But while expect
ing to suffer locally for permitting themselves
10 be so dominated they say that it is. after
all, only local issue. and that the party in the
State will not lose anything because of public
Indignation over Cookers punishment of n just
judge.
But surely they little understand the temper
of the voters of New-Yorli if they think that
81. Lawrence and Chautauqua and Albany and
Erie do not care If the independence and i'm
partiality of the New-York courts are invaded.
1t is a local issue. is it. TO make n Justice Of
the Supreme Court in the First Department a
creature of Tammany Hall? The insoent
avowal by political boss that he diSciplincs
a Judge because that judge did not recognize
on the bench his obligations TO the Tammany
organization Is local issue. IS il!

votes he meant TO steal We're only few in

Of the whole State thought it was something
more than n local issue.
Perhaps Maynard was only local issue II
was lust n collection of mere handful Of votes
in the little town of East Fishkill. in the county
Of Duchess which he suppressed. Who at
Dunkrk or who at Sag ITarbor cared how those
dozen votes were counted? 1t was only local

proper return Of those few ballots, and if Dan
forth knowingly counted the improper return
1t did not concern anybody outside OF the dis
trct If they seated the wrong man in the Sen

dred thousand people outside OF Duchess Coup

Perhaps Cookers control Of the Supreme
Court of the First Department is only local
issue but we think there are a good many thou
sand honest Democrats ut the far ends or this
State who are quite as much concerned that
their Supreme Court and their whole supreme
Court shall be pure and free from the owner
shin of Richard Croker as they were to pun
ish the man who dared 10 rebel against the
courts in little Gravescnd or the other man
who dared TO steal the votes of East Fishkill.

THE CASE OF ELLIOT DANFORTH.

Tn q bripf communication TO THE New-lork
Times" printed on Monday. Mr.. II. W. Mead or
Rrooklvn. suitably characterized the nomination
or Elliot Danforth for Lieutenant Governor on
tho democratic ticket In yesterdays Times
Mr. David u. Thompson says that Mr.. Mead
does not because he cannot, make one definite
"statcmcnt dcrogatory to the character Of Elliot
"Donforth" We are not in Mr. Mcad's conf
donce but We suppose he considered II unncccs-
sarv to rehearse the facts that make Danforth'S
candidacy an outrage which the people ought TO
rohuke and we believe can he trusted TO re-
buke. Mr. Mead probably assumed that these
disgracefu! facts were TOO familiar to need rcpc-
tition: but perhaps he was mistaken for here is
Mr. Thompson whether ignorantiy or deceit
fully we cannot say. endeavorng TO convince
the readers Of The Times" that Elliot Danforth
has an unblemished record. We have repeated
the facts several times since he was nominated
for Lieutenant Governor, and we repeat them
again.
In the wear 1901 Elliot Danforth was mem
her Of the State Board of Canvassers. In that
capacity he counted an election return which he
know 70 be false and which he knew that the
highest authority had forbidden him to count
cave a seat in the state Senate 10 a man who
tinted the fraudulent Legislature which sent Ed
ward Murphy TO the Senate Of the United States
These facts were judicially determined by the
Court Of Appeals. which punished him for his
act. From the opinion Of the Court, delivered
by Judge Gray, n Democrat, we extract this
stern condemnation:
Not only did the order. which we made as the
result OF our consideration OF the appeal, call
upon the appellants 1Danforth and his asso-
Ciates) to comply with the requirements or the
order for the writ Of mandamus-a compliance
with which their stipulation should have Inn
PEELED them TO without waiting for the issuance
Of the formal writ-but the opinion OF the Court
which was read by Cor tor them. Informed them.
in distinct language. that they could consider
any other return. containing the result OF the
legal action Of the County Board. and that the
return attested by Mylod contained. ac-
cordine 10 uncontradcted allegations the result
of an illegal and erroneous canvass, which
would alter the result OF the election and which
the Court should not permit to he canvassed
They could not consider that return
So II is impossible, Is It, Mr.. Thompson ITO
make one definite statement dcrogatory TO the
character OF Elliot Danforth"? The Court of
Appeals did not think so. On the contrary, II
