‘HE CHICAGO -' TRIBUNE 5 could throw out the Electoral votes of ‘Republican States to count in the Demo- ence tandidates for President and Vice-Presi- dent, especially if the result of the election was very clo6C, 25 it now promises tobe. It must be porne in mind that the Garcclon scheme jn Maino was generally approved by the Democratic press throughout the land, and that Mr. Tilden, one of tho ablest as he is the shrewdest and unscrupulons politician in the party, opinion that Garcelon and his party “high constitutional grounds,” synich he hoped they would maintain to the lust. But Garcelon’s plan does not seem to work well, nd in view of the two opinions of the Supreme of Maine the “high constitutional nds” that Sly Sammy talked so profoundly pave had their underpinning pretty much ockedout. After the Maine fiasco, it is ixely thatthe Democrats will bend all their energies tejptimidating, bulldozing, and ballot-box stuft- * Jog to carry elections, and not depend on Elect- oral Commissions or appeals to the Supreme Courts to sustain their fraudulent practices. ¢ ————e —_—_ -Tme Cincinnat!

TourMan must naturally smile when he sces the sorry mess Mr. Baynrd has made of his effort to rid the greenback of its legal-tender’ quality. Mr. Bayard no doubt thought that Mr. ‘Thurman and Mr. Ewing went to the bottom in the Ohio squall because of. their financial here- sfes that bordered on*fiat: lunacy, and that‘he would better go to the other extreme and adopt the theory of the goldites.

For second choice there was a fair division between Garfleld, Blaine, and Washburne. All but two expressed themselves decidedly against the nomination of Grant. “Tg Democrats of Maine,” says the emi- nent Charles O’Conor, “have attempted to scize the vote of the State by means most reprehensi- ble.” “Gov. Garcelon and his friends in Maine,” says Samuel J. Tilden, “occupy high constitu- tional grounds, and I hope they will maintain their position to the last.” There is said to be but little difference between tweedie-dee and tweedle-dum, but there is a slight difference be- tween the opinions of O'Conor and Tilden.

Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Nee New Havey, Conn., Jan. 17, toon to- day the jury had been out twenty-four hours in the Hayden case, and there had been no signs of an agreement. The ruling of the Judges last night, it is believed, 1s re- sponsible for this in some degree. That ruling was that any material fact might be proven by either direct or circumstantial evidence, and the jury appeared to have been hesitating on the point as to whether or not Hayden had had sexual iptercourse. with Mary Stannard. It was never, proven direct- ly thet he had had other than by the girl’s declarations. The jury slept? in the jury- room last night, and, being provided with blankets and pillows, curled up, on the floor and slept soundly. Not a word has been heard from them to-day, not even: any ques- tion as to which a.ruling’ was asked. How long the struggle will continue nd one can predict. Counsel‘on both sides, confidently state that there are then: known, to be posi- tively determined neyer to abandon their re- spective opinions. A disagreement seems probable, and it is reported,to-night ‘that the counsel for the State will’ be ‘satisfied, and rather desires to“have the jury discharged. ‘The Judges do not indicate: their “intentions, and an apparently authenticrumoris that the jury will be locked. up. over Sunday, as it would be inexpedient to afford them a Sunday respite from duty with all its risks of encountering and being affected by out- side influences. ‘he excitement here is in- tense, and the court-room, which was packed last night until midnight, promises to be so again this evening. - Hayden’s counsel are apparently satisfied .with long discussion, and claim that every hour of delay enhances his prospect of being cleared.” Hayden is confined in the Sheriff’s office, and is at- tended by his wife, father, and mother. He continues apparently cheerful,, but there is a worn, anxious look upon his face which betrays better than. words the agony of this suspense. Mrs. Hayden is greatly affected, and this evening was reclining upon 2 lounge with her hus- bane fanning her and endeavoring to cheer er spirits. The jury did not reach a verdict to-ni, ht and nothing was heard from them until 1 o’clock, whien they asked. the Court that they be permitted, to’ retire for the night. The Court was thereupon adjourned to Monday atQo’clock. The jury will remain locked in the Court-Honse over Sunday, and the Judge will decline to receive any communication from them until Monday. To the Western Associated Free. New HAvE®, Comh., Jan. 17.—At 10 0’clock the Court in the Hayden case received a com- munication from the jury. ‘The purport ‘was not made known, but the Court immediately ordered the court-room cleared, that the AR, tired out, might retire forthe night. They wi il remain locked up over Sunday, and the prospect isno one will be admitted to the court-room Sunday, and it is certain no ver- dict can be rendered at least until Mondgy. Itis evident that had the jury been evenly divided they would have ‘reported a disa- greement before this, and the best of reasons for the belief is entertained by the friends of Hayden that they stand either 9,to3 orl to 3 in favor of, acquittal. Several jurors have occupied their time during the day and évening gazing out of the windows, paying no attention to any discussion that may have been going on. ‘The long delay is wearing on the prisoner and his friends, and he manifested muéh nervousness while at supper to-night. He and his wife remained in the Sheriff’s office until adjourmnent of court, when he was taken.to jail. In the morning Hayden seemed to enjoy a cigar as usual Mr. Waller, of counsel for. the State, says _at least one juror expressed his belief in’ Hayden’s innocence while the trial was in progress. Mr. Harrison, also counsel for the State, says two jurors have done so, and that Mrs. Hayden has stopped frequently at the house’of Juror Meany, There was alarge.crowd at Madison last evening expecting Hayden home a free mau, They had fixed up the churéh where he used to preach, and seats were reserved for those who were to hear him‘preach Sunday. The residence of Hayden was also prepared, and arrangements made for an oyster supper in his honor. Hayden sent word that they had better wait until Sunday week. The Court adjourned to 9a. m. Monday. ‘Mattresses, blankets, and~pillows were fur- nished the jurors to-night. Counsel for thé defense is certain that if a verdict is rendered it will be acquittal. Itis probable the jury will remain out several days. A WRONGED WOMAN. Spectal Dispatch-to The Chicago Tribune. Wasutneton, D.C., Jan..17,—Lucy Rhett Horton was to-day arraigned in the Police Court here charged with assault with intent to kill John H. Morgan, a son of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, by shooting him in the shoulder on the afternoon. of New-Year’s Day. Miss Horton charges that Morgan had robbed her of her innocence under a promise of marriage. Some months since she en- tered a suit against him for $20,000 damages, which suit is now awaiting trial. Since en- tering the suit, she alleges that she has been dismissed from every place in which she succeeded in getting employment, and her friends claim that her mind has been unsettled by the treatment that she has received at his hands. She was arrested shortly after the occur- rence, making no effort ‘to’ escape, and, a charge being made, Mrs. Belva Lockwood went her bail in $1,000, and a hearing of the case has been continued from time to time untilto-day. The case has attracted a great deal of interest in view of the promineut re- lations of young Morgan. Mr. Morgan is a slim-built young man, of medium hight, with dark hair and mustache.-.’He. was early ‘in court with ‘a number of _his friends. Miss Horton is .a-fair-looking girl, about 18, but has a more settled and mature look than usual in onien of that age. She. is of medium hight, with. dark hair. ‘The defense indicated their intention to en- deavor to prove that Miss Horton, in conse- quence of the acts of young Morgan, was insane at the time of the attempted shooting. Her counsel claimed, as a matter of justice, that his elient should not be committed on the assumption of guilt, and was prepared toshow that this poor woman’s reagon was at the time tottering because sie had been robbed of everything dear to her, and they were entitled. fo show the condition of her mind. The Court cited the Mary Harris case, and said that he had no right to acquit, and his only course was to exainine the case as to probable cause. The hearing was not concluded, but the Police Justice intimated that he would send the cast to the Grand Jury, under bonds of $1,000. Miss Hortéh will’ have. uo trouble in obtaining these bonds, as’ Belva Lockwood, a@ female lawyer, here, and a number: of other ladies have interested themselves in the case. The effort was made.on the part of Miss Horton to introduce a latg¢ number of letters written by young Morgan to her, and her repliesto them. The letters were ruled out. A petusal of them shows that they are of an extremely sentimental character, and leave no doubt that young Morgan. had evi- dently led the woman to believe that he in- tended to make her-his wife. The langua of Miss Horton’s letters to young Morgan particularly touching. The following Jetter, written by her to Senator Morgan, the father” of her alleged betrayer, serves to show the pathos of this sad story: = Gex.

What passed between them was not known until thismorning, when the womanwas found lying in bed in an unconscious condition. An examination being made, it was found-that she had been beaten in a brutal manner, her face pounded to a jelly, both eyes closed,so that she could not see, and her body covered with bruises, the poor woman having been kicked and injured internally so that she could not move in bed. The police were notified, and she was removed to the Station- House, where a physician attendedher.

After the transacti’n of some unimportant business, the Committee then adjourned. ‘The Committee on Arrangements met soon after, with Mr. Forsythe in the chair. A telegram from Mr. Dillon to Mr. Stone, of the Daily News, was_read, stating that Messrs. Dillon and Parnell had con- cluded to postpone their visit to Chicago and Springfield till, February; also . stating that they would visit In- dianapolis on the ist. This was deemed quite satisfactory by the Committee, and Mr. Stone was appointed to communicate with Mr. Dillon with a view to arranging as to the exact time in February at which Afr. Parnell would speak here. Mr. John Connell, Chief Marshal of the Trish Societies, wishes to announce that as Mr. Parnell has postponed his visit to Chi- cago, the proposed turnout is, of course, postponed. Due notice will be given 0! future action. _ . Mayor Harrison yesterday received the following, which explains itself: Boston, Mass., Jan. 14, 1890.—To the Hon. C. H. Harrison, Mayor, etc.—Srn: It ig with great re- t that we find that the great honor conferred upon us by the City of Chicago has remained so Jong- unacknowledged. Through some mistake your letter reached us only this moment. We have now vo thank you most sincerely, both on ourown part and in behalf of the people wo represent, for this great mark of sympathy and kindly feel: toward the Irish nation, and we hope you will kindly communicate. to the Com- mon Couneil our thanks, and our great re- gret that. their kindness was not immediately ficknowledged. We have the honor to remain Cares S. P. yours truly, is Joan DILLox., Between twenty and thirty representatives of Trades Unions of this city metin the hall No. 54 West Lake street last evening to com- plete arrangements for the Parnell reception. ‘Thomas Williams was appointed Chairman, and he invited Mr. T. J. Morgan to state the situation as it now stood. Mr. Morgan said that in this so-called freecountry he thought we had exactly the same element as was rerresented by the landlords of Ireland. We had our Long John ‘Wentworth, who owned something like a thousand acres of land just outside the city limits; and collected rent from the poor >epoonle, and was Chairman of one of the committees of arrangements in the interests of free land in Ireland. ‘There was_also a Colonel in one of the abominable militia regiments who was a boss coal-miner and paid his men in truck. Mr, Morgan further reported that meetings had been held by the different Unions and committees had heen appointed to report at that meeting. The principal question to be decided was whether the workingmen should take a part inthe procession on their own account, or whether they should leave it in the hands of the Socialists. Z ‘A number of the. representatives present reported for their organizations. None of them. appeared to be fully deter- mined as to what they would do. A Mr. Ryan was not in favor of follow- ing in the wake of the military and capital- ists. Tt did not seem to be the sentiment of most of the representatives that it would be at all desirable to turn out under the auspices of the Socialists. Some wanted to turn out on some other night than that of the main demonstration, while others thought they might turn out on the same night, ut coul take different routes and streets. Several of the representatives reported that, their unions had decided to turn out in a body to partici- pate in the demonstration. On motion of Mr. Morgan, it was resolved to isste a call through the daily papers to all Trades Unions, inviting them to turn out in the procession, ‘Among the Unions who had agreed to turn ont, and had so authorized their representa- tives to state, were the Saddlers and Curriers, Silver-Gilders, Shoemakers, Carpenters and Joiners, Amalgamated Painters, Sailors, Butchers. Finally, it was decided that the representatives should sign. their own names as individuals simply. ~The meeting then adjourned. PROVIDENCE, R. I. PROVIDENCE, Jan. 17.—Music-Hall was filled to overflowing this evening at the Par- nell and Dillon demonstration, and great en- thusiasm prevailed. Several prominent citi- zens, including Lieut.-Gov. Howard, were on the platform. Mayor Doyle presided, anf, in introducing Parnell, expressed warm sympa- thy with the eniss which he and his col- represent see rnell spoke little over half an hur, describing the sufferings in Ireland, and de- nouncing the landlord system. “After breaking down the landlord syste: he believed not a very long time woul elapse berore the first step would be taken fowards the national independence of Ire- Jand. "At the close of the address Parnell was decorated with a medal made from a silver dollar dated 1798. He was followed by Dillon at some length, and a spirited address was also inade bY the Rev. Father Kinnerney, of Pawtucket. A subscription was taken for the Irish re- lief fund. The audience was composed almost entirely of Irish-Americans. * ‘At the close of the mevting Parnell and Dillion were escorted to the S ‘arragansett Hotel, where a collation was served, and where they remained till midnight, when they took the train for New York. AT MADISON, WIS. Manon, Wis., Jan. 17.—A large and en- thusiastic meeting was held at the State- House to-night in aid of the Parnell move- ment. Vigorous speeches were made by Judge Orler, of the Supreme Court; Col. William F. Vilas, and others.

New Yons, Jan. 18—A rumor has been in circulation for several days past in this city to the effect that Charles O’Conor, the, well-known lawyer, is about to marry Mrs. Hicks-Lord. It isonlya short while since that Mrs. Hicks’ marriage to the millionaire Jawyer, Thomas Lord, caused a sensation; and the subsequent litigation, in which his sons sought to have him declared insane and have a com- missioner appointed to take charge of his vast property, excited much comment.
