left his home happy and gay was
borne back a corpse. Tivis was
about fourteen years old, a good,
kind-hearted boy, always ready to
do a favor. He WAS laid to rest in

With the most astonishing dis.
play ofinnocence Mr.. A. +. Wilson,
OF Louisville, candidate for Cover
nor, arose in the Commercial Con-
vention at Louisville last week and
began to talk about the assassina-
tlon OF Mr.. j. b. Marcum, and de-
mand the punishment of his muir
derers. But when some one in the
audience asked him, "What about
Goebel," his speech was spoiled,
and after floundering around and
cheating about the BUSH for a
short time he Topped into his seat
without expressing any desire for
the punishment OF Mr.. Goebel's as
sassins. II he is really in favor OF
allowing the latter TO go free, he
can not consistently or effectively
advocate the punishment OF other
assassins. "Silence is goldenn to
him as long-as he retains even a
~ se position in the Frankfort
\ 4ror. From our viewpoint, all
Assassins look alike, and we believe
1the administration of the extreme
penalty to be the nearest approach
to justice that it is possible to mete
out to these towards.
