negro grabbed her and ordered
her to lay the baby down. She
tried to scream lor help, but the
black brute drew a knile, exclaiming,
""Damn you! If you say a word
1 will cut your throat." Frightened
nearly tc death, the defenceless
woman was forced at the point
of the knile to submit, and the
vile purpose of the foul wretch
was accomplished. The negro
then fled, and as soon as she was
able Mrs. Mitchum ran to a neigh

facts of the crime, conviction and

our people. In that case, through
the forbearance of the child-victim's

request that the law be allowed
to take its course, no mob violence

who were ready and willing to
take the law in their own hands
and mete out punishment swift

in the light of subsequent events

A SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THE
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
McKittley has 266 Votes Out of 447.
Bryan Has 143?Ten States Yet
to Hear From
ine election returns reported so
far indicate a sweeping victory for
McKinley and Roosevelt-, the
republican candidates for president
and vice president. I:p to
tIris time 266 electoral votes are
conceded to McKinley, while Bryan
has only 140, with ten States
with a total electoral vote of 38
i not yet heard from Even if they
j all go for Bryan this would still
I give Bryan 181, the total electoral
vote being 447.
In the election of 1S00 McKinley
received 271 electoral votes
and Bryan 176, and the probability
is that the relative vole Ihisj

about 25,000 plurality but the i
Stale lias gone for McKinley by
150.000. Udell, the republican
candidate for governor is elected
over Stanchfield, the democratic
nominee, by a larger vote than McKinley
received.
In Greater New York, which
went Tor Mclvinley in'96 by 60,000,
Bryan's gain is about 90,000.
In Massachusetts lhe republican
majority of 174,000 in '96 fell off
to 80,000, in New York State from
268,000 to 138,000, and in Illinois
from 142,000 to barely 100,000.
