State Issues.
Turning to State issues, the Secretary
took up the liquor question and present
ed the Republican argument in favor of
Governor Herrick. He discussed the
present law. with the framing and pas
sage OF which the governor had much 10
do. and explained 1t in detail, together
with the steps OF its progress through
the Legislature. AS to this. and also as
TO his alleged undue use of the veto
power, he defended the governor. Then
he took up the charge that Herrick is
too subservient to Boss Cox. of Gin
cinnati. saying in part:
In the flights of oratory of our Demo-
cratic friends, reference has been made
to Herrick as a boss" and he is class

truth on this subject. In every State
there Is party machinery. Those who
hold the Offices are generally looked up
on as leaders. and constitute the organ

the center of corrupt rings, and detri-
mental to the public interest. But usual

Remarkable
Case on Trial

Columbus, O., December 4.--One of
the most remarkable cases with which
the police and prison physicians of
Columbus have ever had to dealswas
called for trial to-day. 1t Is that OF
Frank Castor, a Michigan man, with
a criminal record, who is charged
with the murder of Policeman Davis
while attempting to rob residence
in East Broad street this city. The
remarkable feature of the case is the
fact that since his arrest several
months ago, Castor has feigned insani-
ty so successfully as to deceive the
physicians and experts for long
time. The prisoner has constantly
refused to recognize his attorneys
when they called upon him in Jail.
Physicians sat by his bedside for
hours and watched his every move

er he was shamming. AT his prelimi-
nary hearing Costor had to be brought
into court on the shoulders of two az
tendants, and sat during the proceed.

that his shamming was one OF the
most remarkable performances of its
