ance Company OF New York began

belief that 1t was Mr.. Blair's intention,
at the time he made application for
and secured the policies, to commit

were discovered and made public. The

Ohio Returns.

Columbus, Ohio: The Republican
plurality in Ohio is about $4,000 for
Governor and the majority in the Leg
islature on joint ballot for Senator is
80. Chairman Dick Of tn e Republican
State Committee Wednesday secured
reports from all his SO county COM
mittees, and announced that Rerrick
(Rep) had carried 81 counties and
johnson (Dem.) 26 for Governor. On
a total vote of less than 100000 Her

gregate 1882 and Johnson's 20,476,
so that Herrick has a net plurality in
the State Of 114,706 on estimates that
may be increased from 1000 to 1000
by the official count The plurality on
the rest of the Republican State ticket
will likely be from 1000 to 5000 less
than that for Herrick The Senate
stands 20 Republicans, Democrats
majority, %. The House stands 80
Republicans and 81 Democrats-ma-
jority So. The majority on joint bal
lot for the reelection OF Senator Han
ma will be 90. These figures will not
be changed by the official returns.

Baltimore, Md: 1t was a wholesale
victory for the Democrats in Mary

chising the illiterate blacks, worked
just the other way. The negroes knew
how to vote, but it is estimated that
at least 10000 ballots voted by white

probable that the Democrats viii have

the Republicans eight, while the

The greatest surprise OF Tuesdays
elections was caused by the extent OF
the Democratic victory in Greater New
York. where George B. McClellsn's
victory over Seth Low almost attained
the highest predictions made by the
Tammany chieftain. A change Of 1885,
900 votes in favor OF the Democrats
since the mayoralty election of two
years ago astounded the entire city
and completely upset all ante-electlon
estimates save those Of Tammany.
Not only did Tammany wipe out a
fusion plurality Of two years ago In
the greater city OF thirty-odd thousand
and pile up a Democratic plurality of
siXty-odd thousand, but It carried four
of the ave boroughs Of the metropolis,
including Brooklyn, where q fusion
victory had been practically conceded
and where Tammsny was compelled
to fight not only the fusion forces, but
the disgruntled Democrats under the
leadership of Hugh Mclaughlin as
well, the latter having refused abso-
lutely to accept the Tammany ticket
with Fornes and Grout upon It.
Charles f. Murphy, the TammRny
chieftain, who succeeded Croker two
years ago, is credited with one OF the
most brilliant political victories in the
history of the organization.
In New York State the Democrats
made heavy gains in municipal cleo
tons, carrying Utica, Schenectady,
Oswego. Auburn and other cities,
while the Republicans elected their
candidates for Mayor in Buffalo, AL
bany, Syracuse, Ithaca and other
cities

Remains Found.

On Tuesday of this week County
Coroner IL. F. Lake was notified
that the remains Of a man were
found by two cowboys ON the North
Fork in a tributary of Henderson
gulch near i}otchford's ranch in the
Big Muddy country just week
before.
Sections of the remains were
scattered considerably and it is
supposed the body was torn to pieces
by coyotes. The head, one leg and
parts of both arms were found and
together with the remaining frag-
ments Of clothing were buried where
they were first discovered \ -
calibre revolver, some cartridges, a
ring and letter were found. The
letter was well preserved and was
addressed Olaf Nereni, Wisconsin,
and signed by NJ. Nerem, who was
undoubtedly the dead mans brother.
The revolver held } cartridges and
had an empty shell in the barrel. \
bullet hole was found in the skull
near right temple corresponding to
size of the bullet and those who ex-
amined the remains are convinced
that the man committed suicide.
From all appearances death oc-
CURED before snow fell last fall.
The letter which was found with
the body and is now in the hands Of
Coroner Lake was translated bv j

QUESTIONS THE RIGHT.

Justice David J. Brewer. of the u.
S. Supreme court, questions the right
of appeal which we and almost every
body else has believed constitutional
right, natural right and an absolute
right of every citizen in the courts of
the nation.
He saws that the right to appeal
from one court OF another is statua-
tory right and it is not absolute by
any manner of means.
The position taken by Justice
Brewer is an advanced one, in facs it
belongs to the very few new thoughts
of the period A man. even a mem
ber of the supreme court must indeed
be bold to present believaole argu-
ment against some thing. which has
from time immemorial been consider
ed an inherent right of every citizen.
In an article in the Independent he
presents his form of defense of his
hold assertions as follows. The ques-
tion. it will be seen from Justice
Brewers statements is not one sided
bat debatable. something heretofore
believed having no other side. since
courts were established in this coun-
try. Hear what he says.
''What is called the right of appeal
is simply IA statutory privilege; 'one
which the State may give and which
it may take away 1t is one which.
if given every individual NAV justly
call it right, and insist upon it. If
not given. then no such right exists. ,
AS to the natural right. the learned
Justice most pithily says: 1T is true
that in case of a supposed crime the
State owes to the public and the ac-
cused the duty of providing one i'm
partial and competent tribunal to de-
termine the question of alleged guilt,
as also to every individual who insists
that some right of his has been de-
MED. IA like tribunal to protect or en-
force such right. But upon what
principle of natural justice can it be
said that the State also owes in these
cases the duty of providing second
tribunal to inquire whether the first
has erred? If it does owe any such
duty. why may it not also be contend
ed that it owes the further one of pro.
viding "a third tribunal to inquire
whethe- the second did not make a
mistake? And where is the limit ?''

In looking back over the recent oil
boom in this country. we are sorry
that there was any boom at all. Had
there been less frenzied excitement
and more actual development. there
might have been first class developed
field at DeBeque right now But
there is evidently something at De-
Beque which has led the Standard Oil
company to desire to acquire lands
near there. That company never buys
a pig in poke. Its theory of doing
business generally is to let other peo-
pie develop for it and then purchase.
on the theory that any oil land is
more valuable to it. than to an indi-
vidual who has not the means of
handling oil product. even if discov-.
cred. Some men have never lost
faith in I'll e DeBeque field. Among
that number is J. S. Swan, the origi-
nal oil mau and it is to be hoped that
he will realize something for his
great faith and his continuous efforts
to develop that section as an oil field.

There is vast stretch of country.
south of the Grand river. which
would be accessible. to people from
this city. if bridge were built at the
foot of Main street. The question is
naturally asked would it benefit any
one greatly to have the bridge built.
We are not sufficiently familiar with
the land to make much of statement
in that direction. but we have found
out that nothing is ever done, where
lands are isolated The lands ON the
other side of the river would provide
literally for those who would like to
cultivate small tract of land and
still retain their connection with the
city in working capacity. 1t is said
that the land on Red Mesa is tillable
and there are some most excellent
building sites. To reach that body of
land lying south of the Grand and di e.
rectly west from us. is almost like
making trip to foreign country. by
the way of the present bridge across
the Grand and Gunnison. The foot
of Main street is n natural place for
bridge and The Sentinel predict that
it will be only few years until such
a bridge is built.
