UPHELD ev SUPREME COURT
Conviction for Bribery in Grand Rap
ids Water Deal. GO

Lansing, Mich, April 6.-The su.
preme court has handed down an opin.
ion affirming the conviction in the cir.
cAit court of Thomas F. McGarry, a
prominent Grand Rapids attorney, on
the charge of bribery in connection
with the Lake Michigan water deal in
that city.
McGarry's appeal was based on a
number of contentious, among them
that he was charged with bribing City
Attorney Liant K. Salisbury, an official
without authority in the council which
would have to grant the water fran
chise. The supreme court, in answer to
this, cited the statute making it a
punishable offense for the city legal
adviser to give an opinion corruptly.
The evidence against him was ALSO
attacked by McGarry, but the upper
court held that there was sufficient
evidence that was thoroughly admis-
sible outside of the confessions of Gar
man and Cameron.
McGarry, who is now in business in
Florida, appealed his case before he
was sentenced and is now under bonds.

THINKS PARKER IN THE LEAD.
N. 0. Tanning, Former North Dakota News
paper Man, Has Been Making Tour
of u. S. to Get the Drift of Sentiment.

N. o. Tanning, formerly a North
Dakota newspaper man, now a staff
correspondent for the Brooklyn Eagle
has been making a trip through the,
United States ascertaining the drift of
sentiment. Mr.. Tanning
has visited every state in the union and
travelled some $4,000 miles. The
opinion he gathers from his travels is
that Judge Parker is easily in the lead
on the democratic side. In recent
statement he said:
Judge Parker is easily in the lead.
He will have nearly, If not quite, all
of the southern delegates at St. Louis
and the delegates from several Of the
important northern states, including
New York. The situation is more in
doubt in the central and western
states, where Editor Hearst has made
considerable Roadway.
ut is quite evident, however, that
Judge Parker will not be nominated
on the first ballot. It now looks as
though the New England states, New
Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Wisconsin, Missouri and possibly I'LL
nois will present favorite sons-Olney,
Gray, Harmon, Williams, Wall and
Cockrell-and that when it becomes
apparent il the convention, if it does,
that neither of these men can be
named, the delegates, with the excep-
ton of those from Missouri, may vote
for Mr.. Cleveland.

clude Florida, Rhode Island, Kansas,
California, Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico, Alaska and possibly Iowa. Ne

Minnesota and North Dakota. = OF the

Mcdonald and J. c. Willard, assert
that they secured the revolvers and
dynamite by express, but the prison
authorities believe the weapons and
explosives were struggled to them by
friends in visiting. An investigation
was Immediately instituted.
A convict had notified the officers OF
the penitentiary that an attempt to
escape would be made, but he did not
know when the plan was to be put
into operation. AS soon as the alarm
was raised by Guard Williams two
shots were fred in the prison yard to
attract all the guards and they speed

larger cities like st. Louis, Kansas
