Election Arithme

Congressman GrosvenOr has
issued another mathematical mani
festo on the presidential election.
The Enquirer has printed it. We
are unable to give our readers any
reasonable explanation as to why
space was encountered with 1t, for
it is absolutely worthless as In.
formation or prognostication. 1t Is
dogmatic and rheumatic. Not a
single reason is given for any pro.
position in the calculation, and the
figures are so wabbly that they
will scarcely stand long en- ough to
be added. Tt has come to be the
custom, though to print g Grosvenor's
figures as sort Of curiosity. for the
same reason that the gypsy's warn
ing aud Uncle SnOozer's weather
prophecies find their way into
print.
Grosvenor's last calculation hav.
ing been admitted to these columns,
1t is now the purpose Of The En-.
quirer to show that It is as easy to
elect Mr.. Bryan, by the GrosvenOr-
ian methods, as 1t is to elect Nc
Kinley; and it is even possible to
demonstrate by the Athenian's
mathematical lines that Wharton
Barker will have a whooping
majority in the electoral college.

named states as certainly repub-
lican:"

cient to warrant his arrest. The
detectives first went to his board,
ing place and were informed that
he was probably at the home of his
sweetheart on the east side. They
at once went to the Costlow home
where they found Ferrel.
1t was try ing duty for the de-
tsctives when they were ushered
into the room where Ferrell sat
conversing with the young lady
Ferrell appeared annoyed at the
intrusion. The detectives did not
brOach the subject of the train rob
berry, but told him that he was sus-
pected of a burglary and that they
wished him to accompany them to
police headquarters, where t h e
chief Of police waited to interview
him. Thinking that perhaps the
detectives were on the wrong scent
Ferrell nervtd himself and said
with apparent composure: II guess
there must be some mistake." He
excused himself to the young lady
and accompanied the detectives to
the city prison.
On the way to the station the de-
tectives told Ferrell what he was
wanted for and what they knew,
and he reluctantly admitted that
he had committed the crime. At
the police station written confess
sion was taken by the chief Of po-

lice Ferrei tried to keep his nerve
but IL was evident that he had been
under a severe strain and that he
could not stand the ordeal much
longer. He did not tell a connect
ed story. Most of the facts were
brought out by questions, which he
seemed to answer reluctantly. Sew
eral times he broke down, and
when he was finally led to cell
he was In state Of collapse. He
then seemed to fully realize for the
first time the awful nature Of his
crime and the fact that he will In
all probability atone for il with his
own life.
AS soon as it was learned that
Ferrell had given the money to his
sweetheart, Inspector Barron went
to the house and secured 1t. The
young lady was utterly Frustrated
by the disclosure. She had not
suspected Ferrel of wrong doing,
and the news was u terrible shock
to her and her parents, who had
regarded Ferrell AS model young
man. The young lady had never
doubted his story that the money
which he placed in her keeping had
been earned and saved by him as
stated.
Ferrell'5 home is in Steubenville,
o. His father is said to be a bridge
carpenter and II respected citizen
of that place. Ferrell worked for
the Adams Express Co. at Steuben-
vile, coming to Columbus year
and four months ago, when he was
given a run as messenger between
Columbus and Pittsburg. He was
discharged three months ago, after
three complaints had been made
against him on account of broken
packages.
Ferrell could not give a satisfact.
ory explanation in any instance
and after the last complaint he was
discharged. The express company
does not charge Ferrell with crook
edness In any Of these cases, but
say that he did not give satisfac-
tory service. 1t is believed that
all the cash taken by Ferrell ex-
cept $3.50, which he had spent, has
been recovered. The amount in
the hands of the police is $1,0c0.31.
A bundle of money orders which
Ferrell says he threw into vault
have not been recovered.
II has been determined by Fer
rell's confession that the murder
and robbery were committed in
Union county, and that he will be
tried there. He states that he shot
Lane just alter the train left Mil.
ford Center, and the robbery must
have been committed in Union Co.
also, as he left the train at
Plain City, which is almost on the
line between Union and Franklin
counties.
Tonight Ferrell has recovered
his cOmposure after eating a hearty
supper and smoking cigar.

The number Of electoral votes is
447; necessary to u choice, 224.
All the states in Grosvenor's
doubtful column voted for Bryan
In 1896, except Kentucky, and no.
body desiring to escape an inquiry
in lunacy-not even Grosvenor-
would put Kentucky on the repub.
lican side this year. So, by a bet
ter, more reasonable and sensible
rule than that by which the Athen.
ian makes up his certainly repub-
lican" column, the electoral votes
Of the seven "doubtful" states be.
long to Bryan. Add them to his
conceded 1872, and he has 169,
against the claim of 278 for Nc.
Kinley.
But look at the "gall" shown In
making up that 27s. Kansas, with
10 votes, and Washington, with 4,
both Bryan states In 1896, are turn.
ed over to Mckinley simply to help
Charley's lame arithmetic. And,
in spite of the overwhelming evi.
dence that Della ware (3), Maryland
(S), and West Virginia (6), have re-
pented OF their republican folly,
Grosvenor reaches for them as
"sure things" like a drowning man
catches at a straw. Here are 81
votes to be taken from the McKin-
ley column and added to that OF
Bryan, changing the totals to Nc
Kinley, 247; Bryan, 200.
California (9), North Dakota (3)
and Oregon (4) we're republican so
narrowly 10 1896 that "just as like
as not" they will turn up for Bryan
this year. Switch sixteen more.
That makes the record stand: Nc

come that. WhoOpee! Here we
are even, with New York, New

Wisconsin TO draw on for the ma.
jority. All these states have been
democratic at modern presidential
elections, and there Is certainly
greater reason for them being so
this year than ever before. Ohio

dent In 1892 that she got one demo.

a saloon keeper, of the North End, on
the charge of using vulgar language,
came up for hearing and the proceed
ings were interesting. The officer al
legged that he spoke to Lubic through
the telephone, requesting him to APP
pear before the mayor on the charge
of selling intoxicants on Sunday, and
that the defendant used vulgar langu-
age in replying to him. Lubic pleaded
not guilty to the charge, and testified
to the effect that while he was answer
ing the telephone call he used vulgar
language to a bum" who was in
his place at the time, but not to. the
officer. After both sides had been
thoroughly argued the a was dis

John Newell is reported to have made
an unsuccessful attempt to commit sui
eide by jumping into the river at a
point near the B. & o. bridge, late
Tuesday night. Newell was intoxicated
and would, no doubt, have succeeded
in his efforts to end his life had it not
been for n of his friends, who hap
pened to be near at the time. The
latter ran to the rescue, and after
bringing him to the bank notified the
police. Later Newell was placed under
arrest, and yesterday morning was ar
raigned before the mayor for being
drunk. He was fined 81 and costs, and
in default of payment was sent to jail
for ten days. It is said that Newell
is the same man that jumped from a

NATIONAL FEELING.

The feeling of Americans towards
Great Britain has just been discovered
by the Rev. Stopford Brooke. an Eng
fish clergyman of wide erudition and
great breadth of mind, which has ex-
tended to his leaving the church Of
England and joining the Unitarians.
This gentleman has spent many years
In the United States and he points out
many reasons why the people of the
United states should not like the Brit
ash. In the LAST the feeling is friendly,
but in the middle west and west it is
not. To use his own words:
1--WE English forget that till quite re-
Gently England has never approached the
United States except to quarrel with
her. Surely it is a historical fact that
the unanimous support we gave the
United States in the Spanish war was
our first real national expression of
friendship toward. that country. That
has unquestionably done much to
diminish both the dislike and the in
difference of the average American for
England. Still, nations have short
memories for benefits. Favors are soon
forgotten by those vast shifting masses
OF individuals, while injuries sink deep
and are repeated from generation to
generation.
"At present the American is, indeed
more inclined to be friendly toward us
than ever before. He will not, indeed,
hear of the word alliance and he has
no intention whatever of fighting in
our wars of selfinterest. But he is more
ready now than before to listen to the
Immense prophecies toward mutual
good will which reside in his possession
of a language, institutions, and politi-
cal traditions that are common both to
him and us. The two nations are in
deed nearer together than they were.
But still let us clear our minds of illu-
Bions.
1.-The vast mass of the American ma
ton is now not English by descent or
tradition. We must win their friend
ship if we would permanently possess
it. And, greas as-the Englishman is, he
is STILL somehow or other, lamentably
deficient m the temper and the manner
that calls forth affection from anybody
but his own people"
In another portion of his article Mr..
Brooke asks why should the Irish, who
left Ireland with hatred of the British
in their breasts, change because they
have come to America. Mr.. Brooke
evidently is not carried away by the
cheap arguments of uniformed writer's
and has depended upon his own OBJ
servatiohs. He sheds strong light on
an interesting subject.
