The result of last Tuesday" election is
' most gratify ingtr. Pennsylvania Rcpub
; licans. The majority in the Suite far ex
ceed the most sanguine expectation 'f
! thwe w ho gave the .stiivas their lec
: ial attention. There hae leen no lower
j ing of the party taUilanl in the Key stone
StaU. It was boldly claimed two we-ka
j before the ele"tion, owing to the disHati-fai-tion
with the nomiiiation of led in
j lliiladelphia anil the hostile attitude of
! the Personal Liberty and Liquor Leaguea
in all the principal cities and towns of
the State, that the Democrats would tar
ry the day. The result how how wild
were these cah-ulation and how unex-js-cted
wa the stinging rebuke given this
unholy alliance by t.'ie quiet lire-side
oU-rs and the al a aya loyal lC publkius
of the rural district. The defeat of
liced for Sheriff of Philadelphia i not
surprising, in view of the fact that 'the
Independent vote wascast solidly against
hiui, and with one exception, the Repub
lican pre of the city openly opposed
him. The contest wa a very unequal
one and the surprise i that the majority
against him was not more decided.
The course of justuw has been eagerly
waU bed in the case of the Chicago an
archista. It came with slow but awful
tread. The rcouireiiienU of society have
lieen compliel with aaid justice is satis
fied. Pour of the seven were executed.
One died the fien-lish death he hid pre-
ireI for others, and two had their sen
tence Miinuiulcd to imprisonment for
life. The crime for w hich all were con
demned was deliberate and inexcusable.
It was not ho much an attack on the olli-
cersof tlie law asa blow at the law of the
land iti-lf. Not satisfied with the distri
bution of wealth, w ith the relations of
employer and employed, and cherishing
in their Uisoms the hope of revolution
whereby their condition would be bet
tered, an atrts-ious crime was agreed uje
on and committed w hich resulted in the
death of seven ollicers of the law and the
mangling of fifty other. The murderers
were tried with every care. All were
convicted and sentenced to death. The
trial court was sustained in all ita deci
sions by the highest court ill the State.
Anapi-ul waa taken to the Supreme
Court of the I'nited States ami it allinu
ed that the decisions of the State court
were in accordance with la. The sym
pathies of thousand were -enlist! for
the condemned, and the t-iovcrnor of Il
linois was deluged with petitions, prayer
and threat asking for executhe clem--ncy,
and at tite Molicitution of the Judge
who tried the case ami the prosecuting
attorney, comuiuU-i thc ScnUmc of two.
The hanging of the four should 1h- con
vincing evidence to anarchists, ahcrever
thev may I found, that the laws of
America are not to la- trilled with, and
lhat she offers no home to the diwt rovers
of her pcav.

for secretary of state by some 12.OC0 plurali

Republican and ludejs-ncl.-nt lemocratic
combination on Delani.-ey Nioill for the dis

of su.ress in New York County. Thee are
the substantial ruil.-i of Tu.-sd.iy's election
eovpt that the R'-publieaii i-onliinie to have
a majority in both bran -he of the Legisla
ture and there i nothing in thedi-f.-at of the
state ticket that take New York out of the
debatable list for next year. They had to
liirht this caniain aiint a remarkable
combination of interest allied with the De-
ftiucra -y the most cuiispiciloii nt'a liich wa
the orirauiil antagonism of the brew

Another potent iiiHnence wa that fir the i

were, of course, meant to help Kellowa in
the desperate riirhl that, with the aid of the

in favor of tin- K.-m-ral ticket as no other ef
fort cj'ild have done. This iiudini lied de

Mr. Cleveland's ciian.-e for a renomination

The New York utiK-kholders have 7.I2,V
OKi of the entire 1., (oo,ooo capital stock of
the South Penn. The holders of one third
of this stock have already signed the reor
ganization conlnMt recently entered into by
the South Penn stockholders, appointing live
trustee to take charge of the pns-rty, and
attend to the completion of the road. These
trustees arc Dr. Hosteller, Henry Phipps,
(.icorge F. Baer, Franklin M. (sican and
Fram-i L. Stetson. I'pward of Hit -r cent
of tlie entire stock has been signed on the
side of the compromise, including the Vati-dt-rbills,
against whom the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company have filed their bill of
complaint.
A prominent menilierof the South Penn
syndicate on lieitig interviewed, said: "Thi

After two courts in Pennsylvania have deci
ded that the Pennsylvania Railroad cannot
buy the Smth Penn, either directly or indi
rectly, the Pennsylvania Railroad g.s-s into
an adjoining state and in effisrt asks the Tni

n the 2oth day of August. lXi. in the
CiH'k County Criminal Court. August Spies,
Aiix-rt R. Parsons. Samuel Fielden. Michael
Sell wab. A.lolph Fischer. tJeorge Engel and
Louis Lingg were found guilty by the ver-
diet of the jury and afterwards sentenced ti
be hanged fur the murder of Matthias J.
Degan .
An appeal was taken from such finding
and sent to the Supreme Court of the State.
That court, Uwm a final hca ing, and after
mature deliberation.'unanimoiisly1 affirmed
the judgmeut of the court below. The case
now comes before me, by petition of defend
ants, for consideration as Governor of the
Slate, if the letter of Albert Parsons Adolph
Fischer, (Jeorge Kngel and Louis Lingg, de
manding unconditional release, or as they
express it, " liberty or death," and protesting
in the strongest language against mercy or
conituiilation of the sentence pronounced
againt them, can Is? considered fictitious,
A pardon, could it be granted, which might
imply any guilt whatever usn the part of
either of them, would not be such a vindica
tion a they demand. Evecutive inlerven
aion upon the grounds insisted upon by the
fonr above named -ron could in noprojier
sense be deemed an exercise of the contitu-
tional power to grant reprieves, commuta
tions ami pardons unless based uiwn the be
lief on my art of their entire inriiMviiee of
the crime of which they stand convicted.
A careful consideration of the evidence iu
the recurd of the trial of tin- parties, as well
as of alleged evidence claimed for them out
side of the record, has failed to produce upon
my mind any impression tending to iniieacli
the verdict of the jury or judgment of the
trial court or of the Supreme 'Viurt atfirmiug
the guilt of the parties.
Satisfied, then-fore, as I am of their guilt,
I am precluded from consi.li-ring the ques
tion of commutation of the sentence of
Albert R. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, tieorge
Kngi-I and Louis Lingg to imprisonment in
the penitentiary, as they emphatically !
clarv they will not accept such commuta.
tini. Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and
August Spies unite in a s-tilion for" Execu
tive clemency." Fielden and Schwab in
addition present scjKtrate and supplementary
-titions for the commutation of their sen
tence. While, as stated alsive, I am satisfied of
the guilt of all the parties as found by the
verdict of the jury; which was sustained by
the judgments of the courts, a must careful
consideration of the w hole subject leads me
to the concluion that the sentence of the
law as to Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab may he m.sliticd as to each of them,
in the interest of humanity and without
d.iing violence to public justice.
And a to the said Samuel Fielden and
Michael Si-h wah the sentence is commuted
to imprisonment in the Penitentiary for
life.
As to all the the other above named de
(ciiilant I do not feel justified in interfering
with the sentence of the court.

different conclusion iu regard to the sentence

The Death of His Choice.
t'liit-Aiio, Nov. In. Louis Lingg, the trne
An-h-Anarchist aud " human tiger." com
mitted suicide in his cell at H:55 o'clock this
morning uy biow ing his face to pieces with
a candle loaded with dynamite and a fulmi
nating cup. His face was biown out ol all
semblance 'if human sha. He lit the wick
and plaied the caudle in hi mouth. At the
time mentioned a r-(iort startled every one
in the jail. Mr. Osborne, tlie death watch
at om-e hsated the sound in Lingg's cell. The
d-ir wa opened and Liutrg was found on
hi kick. The cell was j uttered with blood
and the air wa heavy wilh smoke and the
smell of dynamite. The explosion was
beard all over the jail, where it echoed
through theeorridore and cells with a hol
low " boom," and fur a moment there
was almost a iauic. The bleeding hut yet
breathing body wa carried into the jail
office and Dr. Fengi-r summoned. He, with
nther physician, at once tisik sfeps to stem
tiie fast -flowing life-tide and had some hope
of saving Lingg's life for the hangman.
Parsons was at once taken out of hi cell
and searched, but without result. A candle
loaded in a similar manner to the one used
was found in Lingg's cell. The tallow had
In-en poured around a dynamite cartridge.
These caudles had been iascd into the jail
and might have heeii Used by all of the men,
so far as known.
A representative of the United Pn-s met
Miss Van Zandt at the d.sr and told her
what Lingg had done. She staggered hack a
step, press..) her hand to lier heart and
gated : ' What ! " Vn lieing assured that
it wa indeed true she exclaimed with gn-at
(agitation: "My Ood! Ha it come to
i this? "
Lingg s.s.11 became unconscious and his
breathings scarcely noticeable. He was lur
ried into the hath room and was laid on a
table onto w hich thc torrent of blisjd gushed
from the holes in his head, completely sur
rounding him. Dr. i ray said he found that
the tissues of the throat aud neck and the
front of the Jaw had been torn away. Stim
ulant failed to rouse the man from ills
lethergy. While the physician whs working
over him Lingg coughed and the hlood
ptirted from hi lung, staining his hair
aud clothes.
The doctor said the unfortunate man could
live but a few hours at most, as his breath
was coming at greater intervals already.
Whcn informed of Lingo's attempt to
commit suicide Captain Itlack said that in
his opinion it would have an effect favorable
to the other men. He thought Lingg wa
insane and declared that lie thought Enge)
to be crazy also. He would not attempt to
say that Lingg' desperate deed would have
any effect on the Oovernor, but if it did he
believed it would be to the advantage of the
otlmmeii.
It is now thought the dynamite cartridges
were hiddeu in Lingg's hair and that he im-bedd-d
them ill hi candles himself. The
Cure of the explosion was doA'nward and
outward, the soft tissues of the throat aud
mouth suffering almot total, d.-struetinn.
A pirn- of his tongue was fond iu the cell
when it was searched.
Lingg's life tossed away at "l:V. The doe-
m'nute more he opened his eyes, glanced
around, dropped hi head and wa dead.
Sheriff Mat-son arrived at the jail noon
after tlie attemiit at suicide took place. He
immediately ordered all the cells of the
prisoners to be searched. This was thorough
ly done, but nothing was found.
The other prisoners refused to say anything
alsiut Lingg's attempt at suicide, except
Fischer, who said : " I thought Lingg was
possessed ofsmflicient courage not lodo such
a thing. I am certainly surprised. As tor
me. I am ready to grace tlie gallows."
Sheriff Mat son said : " It can only be sur
mised bow Lingg got the explosive fa his
posHemioo without our discovering it. He
has been thoroughly searched every day

since the discovery of the bomb, and noth
ing ha been found on him. His bushy
hair, however, could easily have concealed
the cas and fiLte, and I am inclined to be
lieve that he se-reted them there."

The Last Night Of Life.
Ohicvso, Nov. II. The hour passed slow
ly in the county jail lust night slowly to
both watchers and watched. Spies did not
at first find the slumber be Nought and wa
up fr in midnight till nearly 1 o'chs-k, but
he fell asleep a few moments later. Before
that lie chatted pleasantly with Deputy
Siberia vjuert, smoked and enjoyed himself
as well ae he could.
Rev. Dr. U. W. Bolton called ou Spies
and offered him spiritual consolation. The
condemned man turned an icy stare on the
divine, and said : " You can't pray for me.
(to pray for some body else who needs it. I
don't need prayer."
The deputy sheriff who was with Parsons
for three hours last night, said : " He was
very cheerful and hopeful." Such was indeed
the case.
Parsons was never in better humor than
he was last night. He seemed to forget en
tirely that he would have to die within
twelve hours, so interested did he become in
his own harangue to the death watch. He
talked aU.ul Socialism, alsiut Anarchy, the
llaymarket ami his wife and children. It
was not until he reached this subject that he
manifested any sorrow or regret, and the
more he talked about it the more sorrowful
he became. Aliout 11 o'clock Parsons
went to sleep and at 2 o'clock he was sh-ep-ing
as soundly a he ever did in hi life.
Fischer was the least talkative of the four
condemned men, though he was as chi-erfil
a any of t ii-ni. For nearly I'iriv hoar he
sat on the edge of the cot in his cell pu tttng
at a cigar. He sfioke rarely to S. hauinls-rg.
the deputy sheriff, who was sitting in his
d.sirwav.
Once Schaumberg said to him: "Fischer
how call you be so cheerful when you know
ur fate is such a short time removed ?"
" How can I die?" the Anan-hist asked.
and he looked fill! at his questioner. ' 1
will tell you," he said. " I die willingly b-
cuuse I belive it will help the c-.i-nc I es- .-i
eil tbe greater part of my lite, and which I
love better than my life, the c.m-e of the
laboring men. ll-sides this my ...nviction
was unfair, unjust and ill.-ji!.'' t Pr til
r. M. Fischer lay dowu and li.e minutes
later his breathing was so heavy and regular
that the watch was conviu.v I that he wa
sound asleep.
Engel was cheerful and cicitented, and at
times even witty. loiter at night when the
li-ath watch sat on the threshold of his cell,
scarce! v ever removing his eves from him.
Engel became reminiscent, mid som of r'ie
stiirie he told were not only iiiteresi.iu. it
lecidcdlv sensational. Once he said ; Y 'ii
people think, pcriu.u.13, that I a n atni.l i . ,o
ti the gallows. Disabuse your mind of the
idea at once, for it is not true. No man ever
faced deaith more calmly than I do now. I
am an Anarchist. 1 lielieve in its every
principle, and as it i.opioed to the present
order of things, what is more natural than
the desire of the authorities to choke me?"
The last Scene of the Tragedy.
CmcAtio, Nov. II. No sooner had the
(iovernor's final decision been received than
the final preiara!ions began. The greatest
bustle and excitement prevailed in theoffice,
but Schwabcoiitinucd writin-.; uninterrupted,
the others remained equally nouchalcnl. not
withstanding the confusion that marked the
beginingof the end.
The repn'-ntative of the press were con
ducted to the north corridor and seated with
in a few feel uf the nniffold. At 1H:.V alsiut
2iKl newspaper men, hs-al politician and
other had passed through the dark under
the gallows and began seating themselves.
At 11:1U the jury fell ill and t.iok their
places in the double row of chairs which had
been reserved ill front of the press tables.
Altogether the corridor was not half filled.
The cell on tlie first thsir, a well as those
on the two upper tier, had la-en emptied of
their occujiant. The scaffold was not paint
ed and was brown with age and usage.
There was a sjuce of about two feet between
each of the roes and the four tases-s hung
ou a deail level. The mix- was light but of
substantial make.
The gathering was quiet and decorous.
Hals had been removed and cigars thrown
awav. There wa none of the crowding,
pnhing. smoking, swearing mob tlit di
graced the execution of Italian two year
ago.- 1 he name of the junir were called
and each rose to resmd. Ttien then- was
quiet deep, awful quiet. It was as if hearts
had st.Mxi still ; as if the blots! was congeal
ing in the veins of anxious iecta!ors. The
tilltics was hrokeu by a tvail, a wi-ired.
gruesome sound. Jt was only the t jail
cat, but it paled the ch.-elc of many a man
who at another time would make the event
a source of hilarity. She animal, which bail
been secured in an adjoining cage, wa taken
out, and again the stillness of netie.
Thmtigh the high barred iatiel of glass di
rectly back of the scaffold a score of armed
police were visible. They were as motionless
as statue, their gnu's at their shoulders, and
the mimics bearing directly on the pillows
window.
The moment on. A re.rt gains cur
rency that the Sheriff is holding offuntil the
last moment in expectatien that something
will he heard from Springfield. Suddenly
the face of Deputy (ile.Ls.nl wa seen ut the
eu trance uf the corridor leading to the scaf
fold. His Cue is white, he is trembling in
every limb. He raise his hand. The mo
ment ha arrived. The shuffling of feet i
heard in th corridor. It is 11:49 to the
minute. Sheriff Matsoii apears, his baek
toths gathering, he is facing the iroeHiou.
Spiea comes into view, a bruud-houliercl
bailiff is on bis right side, next comes Fischer
then Kngel.
Just before the march to the gallows Fis
cher liiied his face to the 'eel Is of Fielden
and Schwab, in the gall. tv aixve, and shout
ed: " Hrudk-r Schwab, wir wuiischen ihiieii
eiu gluecklicbcs lela-n, mid das fichu!. I her
atlskommcn." ( Brother Schwab, wc wish
you a happy life am) that you may ssm lie
free.) Then he added : "fnssl bye Sam."
"tiissi bye. Sam." echoed Spies and Engel.
Parson said nothing.
Schwab stood at the door of his cell, his
hands folded behind, hi brow overhung by
matted hair pressed against the iron Uirs.
Tears streamed down hischeeksaud ran into
Ins black unkempt beard. He was so
overcome by emotion that he could not
sjKak. Not one of the spectators was un
moved. " Don't tint the braces on too tight ; vou
hurt me."
The wonls came in sharp, querulous tones
from Parsons, was the last one to be pinion
ed. He shook all over. Whether it was
rage or tear that moved him, who know.
The spell of the moment wa broken.
Now the iron d.ir between life ami death
opened aud tbe men moved out, slowly and
with measured tread. First came Spies,
then Fischer, then Engel, then Parson
" Won't you come insiile?" sneered the
latter to the reporters, who hud been observ
ing tlie last toilet.
With a crash which resounded through
tlie entire building the heavy iron ikior clos
ed and presently the crowd of officers, with
the four white-shrotnlcd figure in their
midst, disappear around the tuni of tlie cor
ridor. '
"Oh, my God, my God," exclaimed pr :
Sara Fielden as his comrades diapieared
from his sight forever. Then be threw him
self into a corner of hicell, dropping to ' is
knew, hiding ni face in his hands. His
powerful' frame shook under the terrible
Hr.on ol tneraomeni witn convulsive .h.
Ho wa writhing in agony. For moiuei
lie remained in this attitude of passionute
deair. Then the relief came. The great,
strong man wept like a child. The )- ta
tors ti.-p)d prverenily aside before thi great
paroxysm of grief.
Spies. Engel and Fischer stepped from the
second tier cells to the w-affold. Tlie peca
bir drew a long breath. " Parson is
saved, the word that went around, but it '
wa not to 1. A second later Parson ap- '.
peared. - Tiie four nieu placed thenwel tin
the trap.
All were ga-tly pale. Spies' hair seemed j
to literally stand upon end. Enget's shoul
ders seemed nearly to toiteh the lop of hi ,
head. Parsoii set his teeth firmly together ;
and locked down calmly iisui the emwtl j
beneath. His fai-e is the fiice of a man of j
iron. A murruer of admiration for his uu-
finichiiig nerve goes through the spectators
Engel funis around and say something in
a., inaudible tone to the tieptuy. it is evi
deutly of a jocular character. Sir the con-
demued man laughs heartily. Fischer looks
at him a moment and then he tio, puts in a
remark. Spies and Parsons at either end of
the scaffold maintain a solid ami ditrnificd
demeanor, but there is a hsik of unut. rable '
wis- upon the face of the ex-editor which j
pien-es the hearts of those surrounding the I
scaffold.
The shrouds bad already been adjusted lie- j
fore the men left their cells. Nothing re- j
main but to encircle each neck with the i
nt se and to cover each head with the rap.
Jailer Folx approaches Spies. A
tZi
movement, so quick that it can hardly
notice. I. and the nis is around hi neck and
being drawn taut. The same woe begone
look from the eyes. Folz moved a step and
in a moment the throat of Fischer is encir
cle! by the ntswe. He moves his head up
uml down a if it hurt him. Engel does not
move as the oiemtion is ceing s-rformetl.
Parsons rivits his gaze on the ground and
hi features are crontracted. All four are
evidently determined to tlie game.
A deputy approaches Spie$ with the -ap
in hi hand. The condemned man say
something in an undertone. He isevidently
remonstrating with the deputy, who wavers
for a moment. Spies speak till more ear
nestly. The deputy lisik at the Sheriff.
The latter closes his eye. It is enough.
The cap is iiiickly dntwn over the face of
l
Anarchist leader. It ha been -i !' .r
lb.- time in life. The head of Kngel is
next covered, then Fischer. Parson hist.
Fischer's head moved up and down in the
direction of the Sn-rifr, who, with hi hand
li n the iron railing of the gallery, i r.- !y
lo irivc the signal. It is us though t'.e A 1-
an-hist, as well as he can in hi niu-din-cov-
ernl head, is beckoning the herirl' to an-
proach him. That orH.-ial. however. d.s-
not resind.
There is a nioiueiit of death-like still. i ss
then clear and distinct collies the voii of
Spies. His form straightens up. The mus
lin seems to move in harmony with hi
lip.
"Our silence is more iwerftil than
speech."
That is all. but there is a ring in it that
eelMss far away down the corridor.
Silence again for a second. Then, in a
round, full voice, shout, "Hurrah tor Anar
chy ! " comes from Engel.
Another pause, broken this time by the
voice of Fischer. " This is the happiest mo
ment of nip life.'' He had had his say.
Then the clear, well moulded voi,-e of
Parous breaks the oppresive tilhiess.
There is not that enthusiastic ring in it which
market! the utterance of the other. It is
the voice of a judge delivering a decision a
scarcely-definable pause between each word
"Shall I Is-allowed to .eak ? oh ! men and
women of dear America."
The Sheriff shift his position a little. He
is several feet away from the ieaker, but
the speaker must have seen the movement
through the folds of the cap. There is a
rising inflection in his voice, not so much of
pleading as of demand.
' I-t me ieak. Sheriff Mafon." is what
heay. " Let the voice of the people be.
heard."
Iown went the lroi the last wonls of
Parson had died 111111 hi ie. Fotirtsslies
swung in empty air and the llaymarket
massacre was avenge.
The drop fell at lli.Wfi. From the first
step of Spies UKin the scaffold until the cut
ting of the rope, precisely six minute and
til ree seconds hail elaiised. For a moment
after the tlrop had fallen not a soul stirred.
A low muiiiiir, like a )s-ut up sigh ol relief
went through the corridor.
Then, as if moved hy one common impulse
every man nie lo hi feet and every eye wa
rivitetl uiion the liody of Spies. The arch
Anarchist was dying hard. His legs and
arm moved convulsively, with extraordi
nary rapidity ; it was as though he were
alive and eoiiious and slnnrgling to free
himself from the cord that bound liiiu.
His whole frame was aggitated by a quiver
ing tremor. Low groan of horror came from
many lips and the expression "He's dying
hard'' was heard on all sides. This contin
ued for over a minute an hour it seemed
and then the struggle grew fainteraiid faint
er until they finally ceased.
The bodies of Kngel and Fischer w ere mo
tionless for a moruenr after the drop, save
fir the swinging to and fro: Then Fischer's
Icl's drew up and down and there wa a con
vulsive movement of hi arm. Kngel's
strnggles were brief. Parson alone tlied as
though hi heart had lieen pierced by a bul
let. He came down like a log. There wa
not a twitch or contraction of the muscle.
His neck iiad been broken instuutly. All
three if tlie others dietl slowly anil strangled
to death.
Tho bodies were lower d at 12:i, ufter
having been susiieiided for .To minutes. The
i-.illio plain out, painted a dark brown,
with siivcr-piated.screw w.-re placed iiritler
the isslics across short w.hmI-ii horse. Spies'
ily wa the first to Is- taken down and low
ered in the coffin. The white cap covering
hi head wasdrawn up some little distance,
excising hi neck with the rope tightened
around the skin. It was with great difficul
ty that the noose was loosened by a deputy.
After much tugging theknot alipl and
the white cap was takeu otf. Spies' fins- was
covered with a greasy prvspiratioii ami his
mouth was open, showing teeth somewhat
discolored. There was no discoloration of
the face and the noose left no siirn or murk
on the neck. Dr. Lewi placed his finger
under the right side of the neck and pn-sed
inward. " Spies died by strangulation." he
saiil shortly. " The neck is not broken." In
