meets to-day, Wednesday, for the pur
pose of nominating a State ticket.
THE lower House of Congress has
passed a resolution to adjourn on July
10, but it is doubtful if the Senate will
concur in that date.
How THOMAS M. BAYNE made a
speech in Congress the other day in
which he severely criticised President
Arthur. The (perch bas attracted
much attention throughout the
country.
GUITEAU can have no further hope.
Both the Courts and the Government
have refused to interfere in any way.
Before this may reach all our readers
the sentence of the law will therefore
have been fulfilled, by his execution on
Friday coming, June 30.
A POSER!
MESSRS. EDITORS: —My mind has
been perplexed with the following
mathematical problem, which if you
can aid in solving I will feel much
obliged. It is this: If an unpopular
candidate in a county beats another
candidate for the tame office about 300
votes, how much would a popular can
didate beat that same fellow ?
By what rule of proportion can this be
determined? Yours, &c.,
LKUENDRE.
Question too hard. We give it up.
COURT re-convened on Monday and
took up the trial list where left off last
week. As we go to press, the case of
William S. Jack and others against
John Pollock and others is on trial,
being a case of some interest. A
motion was made on Monday for
a new trial in the case of McElwain vs.
Kollerman, being the case of the dis
puted ownership of a btolen horee.
The motion was refused—this case, by
the way, is a most singular one, two
men claiming the same horse, which
had been recovered from a thief, and
each proving by many witnesses it
was their property. It was a case of
"mistaken identity" upon the part of one
or the other party and was difficult to
decide. Court will likely continue in
session all week as several important
cases are not yet reached. Judge
McJunkin is presiding.
FOURTH OF JULY.
Another "Glorions Fourth" at band
and no general demonstration in Butler.
This has been the way for several
years past.' But the good old method
of celebrating the day is supplied by
oar Sanday schools and beneficial so
cieties of various kinds. We hope all
may spend the coming Fourth in some
patriotic and profitable manner. If no
other way presents itself, get down and
read the "Declaration of Independ
ence."
There will be no paper issued from
this office next week, being the week
of the Fourth. A due regard for "the
day we celebrate" requiring the sus
pension of all sach labor.
COOP EES CON VEN TION.
We were among those—and they
were many—who did not believe there
was any power to re-assemble the old
Harrisburg State Convention for the
purpose of nominating a Congressman
at-Large in place of Thomas M. Mar
shall, Esq., declined. We favored a
new and united Convention, for rea
sons manifest to all. And we still
think the precedent now set is a bad
one, and will prove so, unless the reso
lution passed, looking to harmony in
the party, is followed up in spirit and
in fact. Many of the delegates to the
old Convention, however, did not re
turn to the oue of last Wednesday, 21st
inst., 103 being absent, whose seats
were either filled by substitutes or by
persons who substituted themselves for
the original delegates. An account of
its proceedings will be seen iu another
place. The candidate it named for
Congressman-at-Large, Mr. Marriott
Brosius, of Lancaster county, is a
worthy and respectable gentleman, and
while he does not come up to the
standard of Mr. Marshall iu ability,
aud d jos not, therefore, (ill bis place
on that ticket in that reflect, yet he is
a man of merit and moral worth.
It will be seen by the proceedings
that a resolution was passed suggesting
and requesting that steps be taken to
secure harmony in the party. This
can only be done by the securing of
but one State ticket. We believe this
will yet be brought about. In fact we
have but little doubt of it. It is a
necessity, and all who do not now see
It will before three months have passed.
"STRAW* SHOW ETC:'
THE saying is "That straws show
which way the wind is blowing." As ,
a fact in nature this of course is true, j
and it is equally true in politics. The I
' Straws'' may be big or little, but the i
way they are pointing indicates the |
direction the political wind is
blowing. An old friend of ours is the j
editor of t'ie Greensburg, Westmore
land county, Pa., Tribune and Herald.
He is also Deputy Secretary of the
Commonwealth under Col. M. S. Quay
and Governor Hovt. Personally he
is a good and very clever man. Political
ly be has been Cameron, as all Repub
licans holding office about Harrisburg
heretofore have had to be. Last week
we copied part of an article we found
in his paper the Tribune and Herald
we were pleased to see it. It was
to the effect that our friend McAfee
was tired of Don Cameron—believed
that he, Cameron, "lacked knowledge
of men," and was not a "wise, prudent
and safe leader," —that he "did not
consult the peoples' wishes or pay suffi
cient difference thereto,'' and hence
our friend McAfee announced that he
was "convinced that a very decided
majority of the Republicans of this
State would prefer some one else who
is more in sympathy with the masses,'
ior their leader in the future. For
this declaration of independence of
the "boss" our friend McAfee is
severely rebuked by the Harrisburg
Telegraph, the personal and political
organ of Senator Cameron. The Tri
bune and Herald, however, retorts
manfully, reiterates its charges as to
Cameron's bad methods, and repudi
ates his further management of our
party affairs in this State. We con
sider tbis a significant straw. To be
sure there are many Republican edi
tors in the State doing the same thing,
and have been for some time past. But
"bear in mind the position our friend of
the Tribune and Herald occupies at
Harrisburg, that of Deputy Secretary
of the State, under Chief Secretary
Quay and Gov. Hoyt. He is not say
ing anything offensiva to these of
course. No doubt he is but giving
utterance to their views. We have
reason to say that he is but expressing
the feelings of Col. Quay and that
henceforth Quay and Cameron are
apart—hare dissolved partnership—
and we regard this as the most favora
ble ' straw" we bave yet noticed to
ward the speedy dethronement of Don
Cameron. In fact we consider his
power in the State now at an end,
save what he may have and get
through the balance of President
Arthur's administration of the Nation
al Government. His methods were so
coarse and dictatorial as to disgust
all the leading minds of the State, and
hence he is repudiated all around.
Even many Stalwarts say they do not
approve his ways and are not in favor
of bis continuance in the Senate.
When men like Quay begin to break
the break will soon become general,
and we predict the coming three
months will show that the Republican
party of Pennsylvania has freed
itself from G'arueronism. This is really
the only iesue or trouble in the party,
and all good Republicans are uniting
to free it of such odious and selfish
tyranny as practiced by Don Cameron.
Tbiel College.
The ninth commencement of this
young but rising institution, located at
Greenville, Mercer county, Pa., was
held during the past week The exer
cises were unusually interesting and
highly appreciated by the crowds of
citizens and visitors who attended.
According to the complete pro
gramme of performances for this inter
esting week, Tuesday evening was
taken up with the Junior class.
The afternoon of Wednesday was
devoted to
THE ADDRESS BEFORE THE LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
The speaker on this occasion was
Hon. Samuel Griffith, of Mercer, Pa ,
who in bis usual pleasant manner
discoursed on "Youth, its Duties and
Rewards." The sentiments of the
speaker called forth frequent applause
from the audience, and the address was
well received. *
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
held its annual meeting on Wednesday
evening. There were two addresses
viz : One on "Government," by Rev.
G. L. Rankin, A. M., formerly of But
ler, Pa., now of Alliance, O.; the other
on "True Greatness," by Rev. J. O.
Baker, A. M , of Erie, Pa.
The great day of the week was
Thursday A. M., the day of the
SENIOR APPOINTMENTS.
Nine young men, having passed
through the full course of instruction
and having sustained the usual
thorough examination, were admitted
to graduation. In their graduating
speeches they certainly acquitted them
selves well and reflected credit upon
their alma mater.
ORDINATION.
On Thursday evening impressive
services were held in connection with
the ordination of candidates to the
Ministerial Office. After an appropriate
sermon by Rev. J. K. Melhorn, of
Pittsburgh, Mr. 11. K. Shauor, of this
county and Mr. R. 11. Durst, both hav
ing taken a course of theology at the
Seminary in Philadelphia, were solemn
ly set apart to the work of the Chris
tian ministry. Hev. Shanor has re
cently been elected pastor of the Free
port charge.
Much business came Iwforc the
[ Board of Trustees of this institution
all of which had reference to the in
creasing of its educational facilities.
A location was determined for the pro
posed new "Concordia Hall," u build
ing greatly needed and which it is
hoped, will soon occupy the place in
dicated on the beautiful grounds of the
College.
We commend Thiel College to young
men and women seeking a classical
education. We know of no other in

to il, in the way of economy, and few
colleges arc provided with a corps of

MARRIOTT BROSIUS FOR CON
GRESS.
An Exciting Caucus, in Which the Question
of Holding a Now Convention was
Freely Discussed.
From the Philadelphia Press.]
HABBISBCRO, June 21.—The Con
vention has achieved a far better work
than it gave promise of tbis morning,
for it has left the way open to a unifi
cation of the party and calling of a new
Convention and has nominated a can
didate for Congressman-at-Large whose
selection was not dreamt of a moment
before it was made. Nothing was
carried in pursuance of a programme,
and this was not a scheme of the boss
es that reached fulfilment. The task
of the Convention was virtually per
formed in caucus, and before the dele
gates met in private meeting in the
State Library no man knew exactly
what would be the result of the delib
eration. The advocates of a new Con
vention presented their resolution, and
their arguments were patiently listen
ed to, but the feeling against the mode
of procedure they favored was over
whelming. The speeches made in re
ply breathed defiance to Independent
•defection. Some little hard feeling
was induced, but the trouble found a
pleasant ending by the offer and
adoption of a resolution providing for
the nomination of a Congressman-at-
Large, and recommending the State
Committee to adopt all honorable
means of harmonizing the party so as
to secure tl.e success of the Republican
ticket. This being interpreted to
mean that the State Committee could,
if necessary, or desirable, call a new
Convention, it met with almost unan
imous approval.
The work of the Convention itself
was soon over. Lilly, Todd, Jacobs
and Brosius were the candidates nam
ed. A letter of declination was read
from Grow. Lilly was favored of the
bosses and his name was on the slate,
but a sudden boom arose for Brosius,
an able and eloquent Lancaster lawyer,
and almost before he or the delegates
knew it he had been made the candi
date for Congressman-at-Large. He
made a speech, somewhat funereal in
tone, but that appeared in a better
' light when it was heard than it will
when it is read, and then the Conven
tion of May 10 had at last completed
the object of its creation.
CALLING FOR A NEW CONVENTION.
Hon. William H. Jessup, of Susque
hanna, in the caucus offered the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the State Committee
when organized be requested to issue a
call for a new Convention under the
new rules to complete the State ticket,
with full power to take such action
upon the ticket already nominated as
shall be for the best interest of the Re
publican party in the State.
Before a word of protest to this prop
osition could lie entered, Mr. Jessup
followed up its reading with a vigor
ous, earnest speech in its behalf.
There was no use, he said, in the del
egates closing their eyes to the fact
that serious differences existed in the
Republican party; differences so great
that the success of the ticket nomin
ated is seriously imperilled. Such a
disastrous result would be far-reach
ing in its effects. These reasons, said
Mr. Jessup, should impel every true
Republican to seriously consider the
situation and endeavor to find some
remedy for the grievances of which the
Independents complain, The charge
was made that the action of the Con
vention of May 10 was the work of
one man.
A SUBSTITUTE.
D. B. McCreery, of Erie, offered as
a substitute to the Jessup resolution
the following:
Resolved, That this Convention pro
ceed to complete the ticket by the
nomination of a Congressman-at-Large,
and that we recommend the I Republi
can State Committee to adopt all hon
orable means to harmonize the Repub
lican party so as to secure success in
November.
This was the resolution that finally
opened the way for an escape of what
promised to be an ugly snarl among
the delegates. Sam Losch, of Schuyl
kill, insisted on the substitute being
divided so that he could vote against
the latter part of it, but subsequently
he was induced to withdraw his
motion to that effect. The peace peo
ple struggled against the adoption of
the McCreery proposition. A. H.
Steele, of Crawford, earnestly pleaded
for a policy of conciliation, reading a
long series of harmony resolutions,
passed by the Crawford County Con
vention, but the delegates loudly clam
ored for a vote on the substitute.
Garrett, of Delaware, stilled the tu
mult for awhile. Having announced
that he was no orator he made a very
pretty plea for peace. "Garfield said
in nominating Sherman in Chicago,
that in the quiet homes of the men
who did the voting were great politic
al questions decided and not by high
flown speeches. All the fine talk you
may have here to-day will not aid in
electing the ticket. The farmer and
the mechanic think your methods have
been wrong ayd you must convince
them that the contrary is true."
F. L Blackrnarr, another Crawford
County man, argued forcibly, almost
plaintively, for a new Convention, and
in in fact so plainly d : d the Crawford
County delegates talk that they were
asked if thev proposed voting for the
regular ticket. This query they met
with a fervent affirmative. Delegate
Jessup made another speech in behalf
of his resolution and was replied to
by Congressman Fisher,who said the
cry of Cameronism would not be sup
pressed by calling a new Convention.
SENATOR NO&BIS INDIGNANT.
Senator A. Wilson Norris, although
neither a delegate or substitute, was
present at the caucus. His name was
called several times, and at last he
bubbled over at some remark of Jes
sup. ' While he speaks of the farm
ers in the country and others of the ,
dissatisfied class," he said, his voice
rising, as though with indignation,
"he forgets that four-fifths of the party
arc in the ranks; and have they no
right to say what this Couyention shall
do? Do you want us to say that we'
are unfit to make nominations ? I, for
one will not befoul my nest. This
talk of 'machine' is all nonsense It
refers to the methods inherited
from Wayne, McVeagh and Aleck
McClure."
"That's a good reason why we
should want to get rid of them," shout
ed a big Western delegate.
Considerable tumult followed this |
Stalwart address, and the delegates
were reaay to rush the substitute
through, bat Jessup again got the floor
and replied to the anpy Senator, after j
which Marriott Brosius, of Lancaster,
delivered a brief, temperate speech in
a calming way that made a great im
pression on tbe delegates, and that, as
subsequent events proved, had great
influence in shaping the course of the
Convention. "I love my partv better
than any wing or faction of it," said
the Lancaster county lawyer, "and
only less than I love my country, but
I have not sympathized with the tone
and temper of many of the speeches. I
am willing to give way, to make con
cessions, if harmony can be secured
and victory gained. This substitute,
however, ought to satisfy all good Re
publicans. Some of us hope that a con
tingency may arise that will make the
way open to harmony, and that is pro
vided for in tbe resolution. What
more can we do? I hope something
may turn up that will end all differ
ences, and this substitute will enable
anything to be done that should be
done."
Huey, of Philadelphia, asked if the
McCreery substitute would not permit
the calling of a new Couvention if the
State Committee thought it advisable
to do so, and the chairman replied in
the affirmative. Under this expression
of opinion Jessup withdrew his amend
ment, and without further debate the
substitute was adopted, the dissenting
voices being three in number and feeble
in utterance. After Colonel Taggart,
of Northumberland, had been selected
to preside over the Convention, the
following resolution, offered by Colonel
Wiestling, was adopted:
Resolved, That in the event of any
vacancy occurring on the ticket nomi
nated by the Convention at its previous
sitting, or on this day, the Republican
State Committee be empowered to fill
the same, after due call and sufficient
notice being given to all its members.
It was now after one o'clock, the
time fixed for holding the Convention,
and the delegates spurning all motions
in delay, adjourned to meet forthwith
in the Opera House.
THE CONVENTION.
They got together in quick order,
finding bnt a small audience and a
loud-voiced band to receive them.
Jessup, of Susquehanna, named the
Chairman, vieeJLear far away and in
tending to stay, and in response the
tall form of the genial Northumberland
delegate appeared upon the stage.
He made an amusing speech.
The calling of the roll began the
moment Colonel Taggart had set
down, the delegates evidently being
anxious to rush matters along and get
out of town. The roll call revealed the
fact that there were 227 delegates pres
ent instead of 251 and of these seventy
nine were substitutes, so that of the
original delegates there were but 148
present. The call concluded, Brosius
offered the resolution of the caucus,
which was unaiymously adopted, and
then began the naming of candidates.
A. W. Liesenring, of Carbon, nomina
ted Gen. William Lilly, of Mauch
Chunk, Colonel J. P. S. Gobin, of
Lebanon, named Marriott Brosius, of
Lancaster. Thad. M. Mahon, of Lan
caster, mentioned the name of General
Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland. Henry
S. Eckert, of Berks, put forward J.
Howard Jacobs, Berks. Alexander
Caldwell, of Northumberland, nomina
ted Galusha A. Grow, of Susque
hanna.
Nesbit, of Blair, said he had a lettet
from Grow in which he declined the
nomination. Bunn seemed afraid to
have the missive read, but Chairman
Taggart, after carefully perusing it,
and finding in it no seditious doctrines
handed it to the Secretary who read it.
Mr. Grow wrote that he was not a
candidate for any political position.
"Engrossed in my business affairs I
have not the time had I the disposition
to engage in State politics."
THE BROSIUS BOOM.
Mr. Brosius next rose to decline,
and he did it so gracefully and modest
ly that a great cry of 'No, no, no' went
up from the Convention. His speech
in the caucus and his words of decli
nation bad made of Brosius the most
popular man in the Convention, and
the delegates who had not favored the
Lilly scheme, turned toward the Lan
caster County lawyer as though for
relief. The assemblage was in an up
roar, in the midst of which Colonel
Gobin sprang to his feet, and in an im
passioned strain, described the victory
that would he achieved with a Lan
caster County man and such a man on
the ticket. McManes and Magee
whispered together and then shook
their heads approvingly; just as
they did when the Marshall boom—it
was not a boomerang until later on—
struck the original convention. The
Brosius boom had a start that made it
resistless. The declining candidate
dropped back into his seat with pale
face and set teeth. The voting began
and had not proceeded far when Bro
sius' election was assured. Nearly
all the Philadelphians voted for him.
The balloting was conducted amid
great excitement and resulted as fol
lows :
Brosius 161: Jacobs 29; Lilly
25; Todd 17.
When the result was announced it
was greeted with three rousing cheers ;
then the unexpected candidate was
lifted to his feet. He would not
mount the stage, but from his place in
the parquet circle he spoke slowly as
follows :
THE CANDIDATE'S SPEECH.
Gentlemen of the Convention : A
distinguished Frenchman, who was
nominated to a seat in the academy,
said that be felt that bis nomination
was a premonition of early death, and
what is worse he died within a week.
In 18(51 a revolt against the consti
tuted authority of the government
reared its hydra head, and my coun
try issued her call and I, a boy, heard
it and although a boy I felt bound, as
I loved my country, to respond to that
call. [Cheers.] Eighteen years ago,
on the field of Bermuda Hundred, 1
thouirht, perhaps, 1 had made a mis
take in having responded to that call,
and as I lay bleeding, expiring on that
field, I thought mv life would soon
end. I, however, was agreeably dis
appointed. [Applause.] To-day the
Republican party calls for the service of I
her son again, and while my mind
was made up positively, and I
thought unalterably, when I asked
permission to decline this nomination,
yet when I saw the feeling actuating
this Convention, and felt that it was .
your desire that my name should ap-1
pear on the ticket. I heard with
throbbing heart and ucbitrr brain the
call, "Come to tbe front." [Prolonged
applause ] I was willing before to
sacrifice all I had, my life if necessary,
ou the alter of my country; 1 must be
willing to-day to lay all I have on that
alter. I know this act is unwise in
you. [Cries of "No! no !"] I fear you i
have made a mistake, i have warned !
you in advance aud you can never
shake jour gory locks at me, whatever
the consequences. [Laughter.] You i
can never shake your fingers at me •
and say, "David thou ait the man !
that brought this upon us." Gentle- j
men of the Convention, I hare nothing
more to say, except that 1 bow to your
command.
(H ITEAU MUST HANG.
The President an<l Cabinet
KtTnxe i lie Appiieaiion
for a lte*i>ile.
WASHINGTON, June 24.—The Cab
inet bas decided not to interfere with
the sentence of Guiteau, and the At
torney General this morning instructed
the marshal of the district and the
warden of the jail to keep the prisoner
in strict confinement and allow no one
to see him except his spiritual advisers,
his physician and the officers of the
jail.
The Attorney General, to whom all
the appeals and petitions presented to
the President bearing on Guiteau case
had been referred, submitted an elabo
rate report to tbe Cabinet last eveniug,
reviewing all the points presented in
favor of a respite and recommending it
be not granted, on the ground that
the sanity of the prisoner had been
fully established at the trial. The re
port was generally discussed and unan
imously approved by the Cabinet, al 1
the members of which were present.
An understanding was reached that
nothing should be disclosed as to the
dicision of the Cabinet until after it
should be made known to the prison
er. Rev. Mr. Ilicks called upon tbe
Attorney General this morning by ap
pointment and was informed that the
Cabinet had decided not to interfere
with the execution of Guiteau's sen
tence. Mr. Hicks thereupon drove to
the jail and informed Guiteau of the
decision.
Guitean has sent the following mes
sage to his spiritual adviser :
"Re?. Mr. Hicks: Go and see
Arthur and shake your fist in his
face. Tell him I made him President by
my inspiration and he must give me an
unconditional pardon, and if he does
not God Almighty will blast him for
ever. I tell you brother Hicks, lam
God's man, and God takes care of his
own."
The friendsof thecondemned man still
profess hope. Mr. Reed says be does
not despair and he will make another
appeal to the President at the earliest
opportunity. Dr. Reard left here for
New York last evening, but is expec
ted to return. Miss Chevallier will
have a conference with Dr. Golding
and Rev. Mr. Hicks this evening to
determine upon their future action,
with a view to obtain a stay of exe
cution.
Guiteau said this morning to the
guard at his cell door that he was
prepared to go, and would just as
leave be hung to-day as to wait until
Friday. At this time the news of the
adverse decision on the petition for re
spite had not reached the jail, but he
did not seem to be in any way inter
ested in the result. Rev. Dr. Hicks
called about 12.30 and remained an
hour. He informed Guiteau of the re
sult of the efforts in bis behalf. This
announcement did not seem to have a
depressing effect upon him and he
talked as cheerful as ever. He ex
pressed some feeling because the Pres
ident had referred the subject of his re
spite to the Attorney Generl, saying
President Arthur should have taken
the responsibility himself, that he
(the prisoner) had not appealed to the
Cabinet but to the President, and as
his act had made him such, it was the
least the Presidcut could do to respite
him for a short time till the case could
bo heard in the Supreme Court of the
United States. Ho then repeated that
he was God's man and was in God's
bands, and asked Dr. Hicks to be at
bis side when he was hanged, saying
that he would die for his inspiration,
feeling that God would justify him in
the other world. He had now no per
sonal interest in the matter, but he
felt for the nation that would suffer in
the event of his being hanged.
The window ou the east side of the
south wing of the jail in which Gui
teau's cell is located have been curtain
ed to shut out the light. This morn
ing the rope which is to be used in the
execution was put up for the occasion.
It is a fine piece of manilla, originally
seven-eighths size, which has been
stretched until it is now but three
fourths size and is forty six feet Jong.
After being laid out the ends were
firmly bound with twine and the knot
tied. At the same time the pinioning
cords, of stout cotton twine, were pre
pared. These are four in number, to
tie the arms and hands behind his back,
and are three or four feet respectively.
The only preparation was cutting the
cord in proper lengths, and carefully
wrapping the ends.
The death warrant which has been
prepared by deputy clerk of the court,
will be signed on Monday aud sent to
Warden Crocker. The time designat
ed for the execution is between the
hours of noon and two P. M., June
30th, 1882.
Mr. Reed, Guiteau's counsel, receiv
ed a letter this morning from Mr. Sco
ville, at Chicago, as follows:
Charles Reed, Dear SIR: Please send
the enclosed letter to Miss Chevallier
as well as you can through the mail.
Mrs. Scoville has gone East with Ber
iha. I fear for both, for Mrs. S. will cer
tainly attempt lives if her brother is
hung, and possibly before if hope is
lost. I hope they will watch and let
me know by mail or telegraph as to
their whereabouts.
GEORQE SCOVILLE
The effect of the news of the Cabi
net dicision upon GuitCau was not in
any way noticeable. He accepted it
much after the manner of a man who
had rather expected ill news and he
made no suggestion as to the course to
be pursued. The Warden says that
he believes the assassin will not weak
en, as he has indomitable nerve and
indeed rather expected the execution.
Ever since his sentence he has had
less faith than those who have been
working for him, and the expedients
that have been adopted for his relief
he has only looked upon as mere possi
bilities which might result in his re
prive.
Ilis appetite is still good and while
he recognizes the necessity of keeping
himself occupied and his thoughts |
from his approaching fate, it is evident
that he will bear up to the end with
much firmness. Mr. Reed says that
he knows ol no other steps that can be .
taken in the case, and will probably !
make no further move.
Guiteau passed Suuday quietly. To
Dr. Hicks, his spiritual adviser, and
the only person allowed to visit him,
he conversed quite cheerfully, reiterat
ing his "inspiration" idea. During
the interview, which lasted an hour
and a haif, he said, "I am God's man
and I can go to Heaveu to-morrow for
that matter. I wouldn't mind being
hanged right away. Whether the
American people can afford to let me
be banged, or whether they really de
sire that I shall so die, is another ques
tion." Dr. Hicks thinks Guiteau really
desires to be hanged in private with
no member of his family present, and
he is waiting calmly for the day of ex
ecution. The physical condition of the
assassin has not changed much recent
ly. He has probably lost a pound or
two of flesh the past week, and his
face has that haggard appearance
usually noticeable in condemned crimi
nals alter long confinement.
John W. Guiteau telegraphed Presi
dent Arthur Sat:—day asking to be
heard in behalf of the for a
commission of lunacy on his brother,
and hopes to secure a hearing. He
has prepared a mass of letters and
facts touching the mental condition of
Charles sines 18(55, which he will sub
mit to the President in support of the
application.
