MARSHALL COUNTY ISSUES.
Not Hendricks or earn, But Life of
the Republican Party at Stake.

q
The Republicans convention has
been held and Republicans will have
Republican county ticket in No
vember. The efforts of the boilers
to destroy the party have come to
naught.
But the boilers are still clinging
like grim death in their attempts to
accomplish their purpose. Beaten ir.
the courts, disgraced in the eyes Of
good people who have investigated
their claims, they still seem deter
mined to continue their lying and
deception until the votes are count
ed
From the moment that they map.
ped out their plans and started out
with the statement that they were
authorized by Congressman Brick
and the state committee to disrupt
the Republican q party, they have
waged campaign of: falsehood and
deception and have refused to join
i'll plans of compromise.
They have lied as to their meth
DDS, lied about the decision of the
courts, lied about the calls for con-
ventions, and finally when the courts
decided against them and there was
still chance to put only one Re
publican ticket in the field for which
all Republicans could vote, they
rushed to the county clerks Office
and filed their ticket on the first day
that they could do so, without giving
the men nominated June 2, any not
ice of their intentions.
Most of these candidates did not
know that they could not Withdraw
from the ticket unless they Sled
their written declination with the
county clerk within three days after
their names were filed at the clerks
Office. In this way these men were
nailed to the ticket SO that they
cannot get off and could not have
their names placed on any other
ticket, and all this time the boilers
were telling their dupes that they
wanted to compromise"
Most of the men who are now
fastened to boilers ticket where
their names will have to remain, un
less removed by death, are good Re-
publicans and good men and will re-
greet all their lives the position in

State chairman's Decision.

The Chronicle and the gang oil
boilers under its lead in this
county are constantly declaring
that the state committee decided
against Hendricks.
The matter has never been be-
fore the state committee, but
State Chairman James P. Good
rich decided as follows:
Gas to the legality of the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hendricks we hold
that the meeting held January
the 18th, 1906, was a legal meet
ing of the committee and in view
of the fact that a clear majority
of the committeeman present
outside of the votes of Mr.. earn
and Melbourne were cast in favor
of Mr.. Hendricks for county
chairman, he was therefore duly
and regularly elected chairman
of the Marshall County Republi-
can committee.
We have this statement on file
over his own signature.

Notes of the Murder Trial.

The prisoner has all confidence in
his attorneys and is satisfied that
they are conducting his case in the
best manner possible.
Deputy Robert Head places a
handcuff on himself and his prisone.
as he brings him in, and takes him
from, the courtroom.
The general opinion in regard TO
the testimony of Dr. Terfiinger of
Lopgcliff hospital for the insane
seems to be that he did not benefit
the defense
There are about $50 people down
from Bourbon and vicinity each day.
A large number of them drive here
Many drive in from German and
Bourbon townships who are either
friends or acquaintance of the
Bateses or the Rettinger's.
Court Stenographer Swinehart is a
6se little gentleman and has the bus
lest task. in the courtroom. He regis
tiers in an undertone kick when the
judge holds court from to IL with
out an intermission, and phrases Wig
orous, English at the witnesses who
insist on speaking in minor key.
Judge Berenetha allowed the jury
to go to their homes to spend Sun
day, recognizing their desire to give
directions for their farm work; but
he carefully charged them against
holding CO Iersation as to the trial
with any one. The jurymen appre-
ciated the favor of going to their
homes.
An attorney not connected with
the case, said he heard the testimony
of Fred Re.tinger Tuesday forenoon
and he seemed to be the most intelli-
gent witnesses that had testified for
the defense, and certainly seemed
great deal more sane and better in
formed generally than his brother
who was on the witness stand before
him.
Saturday was hard working day
in court. The day was warm, the
court room was packed and there
was IN the forenoon no recess. The
attorneys and reporters had hard
work to hear the witnesses, who all,
with one exception, spoke in an un-
dertone, and requests for them to
speak louder were of no avail. The
Judge himself doesn't split the air
when he talks.
The independent Monday evening
said that Rettinger's attorneys will
say that those who testified against
the defendant are in the main saloon
buns and that the man murdered be-
longed to that class. The Independ-
ent seems to nave been trying to act
as an attorney for the defense ever
since, the trial began. but Parker, &
Stevens will probably rule it but
when they make their speeches in
favor of the defendant.
1t was thoughtful and kindly OF
Judge Bernetha, when Mrs. Rettinger
left the witness stand and was look
ing for seat, to direct the bailiff
to bring her a chair from the jury
room. Mrs. Rettinger shows the
marks of sorrow in every line of her
face and it was evidently trying and
painful for her to tell the story of
the life of her boy. He had been her,
favorite child she had suffered for
him, and no wonder the aged and
brokenhearted mother tried to shield
her son and palliate as much as she
could the story ofhis life She, more
than any other one of the family,
shows the marks of grief. = IT. was

Attorneys for Defendant
The rules of the Republican state
committee require that in case OF
this kind no man can be ousted until
he is given due notice of the time
and place of the committee meeting
to decide the case, and that both par
lies may submit affidavits and oral
testimony before the committee.
State Chairman Goodrich ruled in
regard to other parties in this case
that men elected to a position can
not be removed until charges are
preferred and proven. No charges
have been preferred against Chair
man Hendricks and no notice has
ever been given him that his posi- ion
would be considered or tried by the
state committee.

boilers realize that they have no ca e

RETROSPECTIVE.

Once upon time there lived a sol- dier. a gentleman born. a courtier. a man of fine senses. of high integrity, of tenderness. of courage; he pos sessed a splendid physical beauty. be- sides estates and comfortable revenue, or rather. he presided over one. Above all this. he was the father of a girl who worshiped him. and not without reason. What mysterious causes should set 10 work to ruin this man. 10 thrust him from light into darkness?

travels, the father and daughter stopped at Monte Carlo. Who hasn't heard of that city of fever? Who that has seen it can easily forget it's gay harbor, it's beautiful walks it's crowds, its music, it's hotels, Its white temple of fortune. Now, my defendant had hitherto ignored the principality of Monaco. The tales of terror which had reached his ears did not prepossess
 him in it's favor. But his daughter had friends there, and she wanted to see them. There would be dances on the private yacht. and dinners, and
 teas, and fireworks. On the third
 night of his arrival he was joined by
 the owner of the yacht, millionaire
 banker whose son was doing the hon.
 ors as host I believe that there was
 a musicale on board that night, and as the banker was not particularly fond
 of this sort of entertainment, he in
 veigled his soldier friend to accompany
 him on a sightseeing trip. At mid
 night they entered the temple of for
 tune. At first the soldier demurred;
 but the banker told him that he hadn't seen Monte Carlo unless he saw
 the wheel go around. So, laughing,
 they entered the halls.
 The banker played while, won
 and lost, lost and won. The soldier
 put his hand in his pocket and drew forth a five-franc piece. He placed it
 on a number. The angel in the pitch robes is always lying in wait for man to make his first bad step; so she urged fortune to let this man win. It is an unwritten law, high up on Olympus that the gods must give to the gods, only the prayers of the nor tals go unanswered.
 So my defendant won. He laughed 1 like boy who had played marbles for keeps" and had taken away his op-
 ponent's agates. His mind was perfect ly innocent of any wrong-doing. That night he won 1000 francs. His real first bad step was in hiding the escapade from his daughter. The fol- lowing night he won again. Then he dallied about the flame till one night the lust of his forebears shone forth from his eyes. The venom of the ser- pent spread, the ember grew into a flame. His daughter, legitimately en- ! toying herself with the young people, knew nothing nor dreamed. Indeed,
 he never entered the temple till after he had kissed her good night.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-01-31

He lost. He lost twice, thrice, in succession. One morning he woke up to the fact that he was several thou san dollars on the wrong side of the book. If the money had been his own, he would have stopped. and gone his way, cured. But it was money which he held in trust. He must re- place it. The angel in the pitch robes stood at his side: she even laid a hand on his shoulder and urged him to win back what he had lost. Then indeed he could laugh. go his way, and gamble no more. This was ex- cellent advice. That winter he lost something like s15 1000. Then began the progress of decline. The following summer his losses were even greater than before. He began to mortgage the estates, for his authority over his daughters property was absolute. He dabbled in stocks; a sudden fall in gold. and he realized that his daughter was nearly penniless. An had he been alone, had the money been his, he would have faced poverty with all the courage of a brave man. But the girl, the girl. She must never know. she must never want for those luxuries to which she was accustomed. For her sake he must make one more ef- fort. He must win. must, must! He raised more money on the property. He became irritable. nervous, to which were added sudden bursts of tender ness which the girl could not very well understand.
 The summer preceding the action of this tale saw them at Dieppe. At one time he had recovered something be- between ss0. 900 and s70. 900 of his losses An, had he stopped then, confessed to his daughter, all would have gone well. But. ncT he must win the entire sum. He lost, lost, lost. The crash came in August. But corner of the vast Virginia estate was left. and this did no, amount 10 20!O0o.
