Mr. Wadleigh, who erected the mOnu-

GERS. In 1871 he first saw Buck n Port
land The horse was magnificent sor-
rel-a thoroughbred. He stood fifteen
hands high.
Full of admiration for so magnificent
an animal Mr.. Wadleigh purchased him.
He took Buck across the mountains to
the Yakima country. Here Wadleigh
owned a large cattle ranch. For twelve
years he and his horse were constant
companions. Day in and day out Buck
carried his master. In the driving of cat
tie. in fording the swift Columbia and in
a thousand other places the horse showed
rare intelligence. He seemed never TO tire.

up. During all that time there was no
grass exposed. A man climbing TO the
top of one of the rolling hills where he
could see for miles. could fnd no break in
the glistening surface of snow. Early in
the season the cattle began TO die. in the
spring Wadleigh mounted Buck and rode
out to count his losses and gather in the
few cattle that remained. He rode for
many days, searching the deep couleeS,
whore the carcasses lay in heaps.
His seven Indian cowboys gave out.

cattle was heavy on the air. The swol-

falling. The wornout Indians were at the
home ranch. Only the horse was with
him.
Somewhat over two years later. Wad-
leigh who had come to Seattle and
brought Buck with him, stood beside the
animal and watched him die. Unaccus-

seacoast he had contracted 4 lung fever

THE GENERAL RESULT.

The general result of Tuesdays elections
is very satisfactory TO Republicans. The
party has held it's own in every State ex-
cept Maryland. and, compared with two
years ago. the Republicans have more than
held their own in that State. In Massachu-
sets, where the conservative Democrats
controlled the nominations and sent George
Fred Williams to the rear, the Republican
off-year plurality is maintained. The New
Jersey anti-Bryan leaders controlled the
convention and made a platform which ex-
President Cleveland Endorsed and ticket
for which he voted, but they do not seem
to have gained any advantage by ignoring
Bryan and Organism. In Ohio, where the
Kansas City platform was voted down in
convention, and where Democratic reOrgan-
ization was expected TO strengthen the
party, the Republican plurality is consider
ably larger than it was two years ago.
On the other hand, in Nebraska. where
Mr.. Bryan carried out his fusion pro-
gramme in nominating a ticket and put
forth the Kansas City platform as the
Democratic doctrine, the Republicans have

ignoring Mr.. Bryan and his platform has
been of any advantage to the party in any
State, that fact is not apparent TO the
naked eye. In Ohio, where the experiment

Dunn's Case i'm the Jury's Hands.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Nov. 6.-The jury
was intrusted with the fate of Charles
Dunn a little before o'clock this evening
when Judge O'Rourke finished his long in
structions which were notable for their
close adherence to Supreme Court interpre-
tations of the law bearing on the crime of
murder.
The morning was occupied by Henry Cole
rick in finishing his argument begun the
night before. He completed what seemed
formidable anchorage for a reasonable
doubt in the testimony of Hettie Hare, who
lived next door to the Dunn residence, and
who said she saw Alice at Dunn's window
just as Marie Sampleson entered IL the sec
ond time. Her statement is much at
variance with that of Marie that ii she
told the truth Maries whole story must
fall.
Judge Hench closed for the State, making
an effective argument without depending
much on the questionable evidence of Marie
Sampleson. He admitted that the evidence
of Hettie Hare was adverse to the State,
although she was a State witness. He said
she was mistaken, on which supposition
there was no discrepancy in Marie's story.
He pictured the crime with imaginative
eye, no one except Dunn and the child hav-
ing seen it, and closed an eloquent perora-
ton with a terrible arraignment of Dunn,
who, however, did not finch.

THE OVERTHROW OF TAMMANY.

Perhaps no single feature in the elections
of Tuesday excited more general interest
than the municipal election in Greater New
York. The city as now constituted casts
more votes than many of the States, and
it's government has come to be a matter
of national concern. Under the continuous
rule of Tammany for many years, going
constantly from bad to worse. 1t had be-
come a national scandal, a demoralizing
object lesson for the whole country. sub
ject of scathing comment by foreigners
and a reproach to universal suffrage and
republican government. The ending Of
such regime and the crushing defeat of
the machine by which it was established
and perpetuated is cause for rejoicing by
the friends of good government every
where, and should make every honest
American thank God and take courage.
Those who are at all conversant with
the situation WILL of course, understand
that the result is not a straight Republican
victory. Hon. Seth Low the new mayor,
is a Republican, but as the candidate of
the Republican party alone he could not
have been elected unless there had been
enough other anti-Tammany candidates in
the field to have divided the Democratic
vote. He owes his election to a combina-
tion of all the anti-Tammany elements in
the city. including a large number of indie
pendent and reform Democrats 1t is to
the credit of the Republican party that it
was able TO furnish the most available can
didate to unite all these elements for the
overthrow of a power which all previous
efforts had failed to break. This could
only have been done with a candidate
whose character and record were a guar
antee of the reforms which the people de-
manded. and the fact that he is a Repub-
lican shows that IN important crises the
people know where to look for leaders.
The composite character of Mr.. Lows
support may add to the difficulties of his
administration. as different elements will
expect recognition in the way of patron
age, but as he ran as a reform candidate
and is pledged to nothing but honest ad-
ministration and good government he
ought to be allowed to proceed in his own
way and select his own Instruments. He
has characterized the victory as "a splen-
did vindication of popular suffrage" 1t
certainly is, and those who have furnished
the lesson should emphasize it by giving
the new mayor hearty support in the great
and difficult work before him. and espe-
cially in his efforts to substitute honest
business methods for corrupt ring rule.
The overthrow Of Tammany is complete,
but IT should be made lasting. The work
of reforming and recOnstructing the gov
eminent OF Greater New York will be one
OF years, and unless Mayor Low has the
cordial support of all the elements that
elected him the present victory may prove
short lived.
