The Line>ln-Grant presidential exploded as the returns of the New York elect‘on came in. The elect on in New York has started the Republicans to look for new candidate for president. It is ex-governor Crittenden’s Opinion that Judge Norton is the best man before the people for gov- ernor and that he will be nominated beyond a doubt. It must be admitted, we fear, that the son-»-is-father policy of Re- publican nominations has not so far proved to be so advantageous in practice as t is undeniably “beautiful upon th mountains” in the way of theory.—G!ob » Democrat. EEE Stone, th - .ccidental congressman from this district, took occasion, in making athird term political speech ina land case to the cireuit court Monday night to bemean the Times, thus showing that, he lacks decency as a lawyer 2s well as honor or principle as a politician. Judge Emmerson, of St. Louis, was appointed to the marshalship of the eastern district of Missouri last week, but sent a telegram declining the appointment. His resolution created considerable comment in Washington from the fact that he had previously telegraphed that he would accept the appointment, After all, the nomination of Fred Grant by the republicans of New York was only a feeler for Bob Lin- ‘coln for the presidency. If Fred had succeeded, Bob would have been placed at the head of the republican kite in 1888 and Fred at the tail, both to come down like a brick as soon as the November returns were in. It was cruel to put Fred on the altar ns 2 sacrifice—Henry County Democrat. ees We see the name of our old friend Albert O. Allen, of New Madrid mentioned in connection with the marshalship of eastern Missouri. Mr. Allen is at present Swamp Land Commissioner for the state. He is genial gentleman and has a host of friends all over the state who would rejoice with him in his good fortune. We sincerely hope he may receive the appointment. ivery railroad in the State has complied with the new railroad law passed by the special term of the ‘Swamp Angels bill. ‘Tho last com. pany to file was the Chicago, Rock sland & Pacific. The law went into eff ct October 5th, but one of the provisions gave the railroads thirty days time in which to file a schedule of rates.

Sheriff Matson read the death warrant to the men in the jail library. The Rev. Dr. Bolton was present and accompanied the con- demned to the scaffold. At 11:50 Deputy Sheriff Gleason asked the spectators to remove their hats. A minute later the four con- demned appeared in the corridor, wearing whiteshrouds. Theirhands were manacled with handcuffs. They stepped upon the scaffold with firm tread. The faces of Fischer and Parsons | Were pale, Spies was flushed. Engel and Fischer smiled upon the scaffold and turned their heads about towards each other. Spies and Parsons looked straight ahead. Before taken from their cells the sheriff told them they could meke no speeches. On the scaffold Fischer called Deputy Sheriff Spears and asked him if some words could not be spoken. It was refused. Straps were buckled around the New Jensey.—The republicans will have a majority in thelegislature Onto.—Foraker, republican, elect- ed by about 20 thousand, a demo cratie gain over 1884 of about 17 thousand.

The nooses were then put around their necks by Deputy Galpin. When the white cap was about to be put over the head of Spies, he implored time to speak. The knot was tied and the caps were drawn down, one after the other. Spies cried out: “There will come a time when our silence will be more powerful than any words we could say to-day.” Fischer shouted in a loud voice: “Hooray for anarchy!” Engel repeated the words in a still louder tone. Fischer then said: “This is the happiest moment of my life!” Immediately Parsonscried: “Shall I be allowed to speak? Oh men of America. Let the voice of liberty be heard—” Bang! went the drop and the men were swinging. There was a mo- ment of silence and stillness. Spies began to struggle and writhe. His contortions were painful. The others died more easily, but Spies was dead first. In ten minutes all the bodies had ceased to move except that of Parsons. His chest moved slowly and ke was not dead for fifteen min- utes.

Springfield, Ill., Nov. 11.—In his decision upon the question of the pardon or commutation of the sen- tences of the anarchists, Governor Oglesby first reviews briefly the main facts in the case up to the petitions presented him for mercy. “If the letters of Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel and Louis Lingg,” he then says, “de- manding unconditional release,” or as they express it, ‘liberty or death,’ and protesting in the strongest lan guage against mercy or commutation of the sentence pronounced against them can be considered petitions, pardon, could it be granted, which might imply any guilt whatever upon the part of either of them, would not be such a vindication as they demand; executive intervention upon the ground insisted upon by the four above named persons could in no proper sense be deemed an exercise of the constitutional power to grant reprieves, commutations and _par- dons, unless based upon the belief on my part of their entire innocence of the crime of which they stand convicted.” But he is satisfied of the guilt of these four and therefore cannot com- mute their sentences. While no less deeper is his impression that Michael Schwab and Samuel Fielden are guil- ty, yet in consequence of their separ- ate and several petitions for mercy he feels that he can modify their sen- tences in the interest of humanity and without doing violence to public justice and their sentences are ac- cordingly commuted to imprisonment for life. Although August Spies appealed for “executive clemency” his case is considered and treated the same as that of Parsons, Fischer and others. Stumptown. Weather warmer.
