The verdict wlll nodoubt ■be that Scout Lockard came to his death from a pistol shot Inflicted byhis ewn hand.Until this afternoon 4t was not deemed expedient to arrest the Hayden woman but public opinion seemed bent on denominating the deedmorder instead of suicide.Frank Leckard, brother of Scoot, consequently sworo out a warrant forher arrest charging her with murder In the first degree. Officer Dickerson found her at her parent’s. ho/ne, BenWhittaker’s, on West First StCaddie Hayden is a widow whose maiden name was Whittaker and she is a native of Carroll county, Kentucky. The conjecture that she fired the fatal shot is based on two premise®.First, Lockard does not belong to that class of men who suicide. Again, the woman has given several versions ot the afiVir.

Henci forth the shouting for tin Plumed Knigbt is likely U become more and more vociferous and Is expected to give tone to tin crowd in thlt;* bail. The Blaine man sgership of this popular demonstra tion will serve as an -excuse for some oi the delegate? instructed for Harrl son to break away and vote for Blalnt There is no doubt that the Presidcm has an advantage on the instruction; which bind a minority whose choice would be the statesm an for Maine.The situation is embarrassing toall such. Take the delegation iron Iowa as an example. The State is i Blaine State, and yet a majority o the delegation will vote for Harrison. This is explained by Mr Wheel er who headed the ticket lor Goycr-nor to be due to the supposition tha Mr Blaine would not be a candidate; and the management being lofc tc those not heretofore active, care waitaken to select those friendly to fhcAdnuniraiion. This has been inter pfeted to mean a rebuke to Mr Clarlson,a mistake which #as emphatically corrected yesterday on the unanimous re election ot Mr ( larkaon tcrepresent the State on the NationalCommittee.IT IS LIKELY SUICIDEurderi magics are BarLanens,MittsLETTER LIST.Madison, Jefferson County, lnJ.,1 Tuesday, June 7,1892. ° JThe following is the list ot letters remaining iu the Madison Postoffice uncalled for;LADIES’ LIST.G—Jennie Gray.H—Sadia Harwell.O—Ziipha Osburn. • r -Mrs. Marv Porter,R—Mrs. G.

When It is remembered thai each party has uniformly insisted tha ita candidate would be nominated by at least a two thirds vote it is easiljseen that one or the other will be dls appointed, and the indications are that both will be found to bo greatlj at variance with the exact figure!when the decisive ballot is taken.Indeed, every passing hour onlj tends to more and more convince the casual observer than the contest is tlt; be a bitter one. The presence of tin large number ot delegates in tho citj and the meeting of the various stati delegations yesterday gave an oppor tumty for ascertaining the relativi strength of Blaine and Harrison li each of the delegations.

The fact that the Republicans carried the state in 1880,1886 and 1888, Jdoee not prove that there were more Republicans than Democrats in those years. In 1886 the Democratic party was torn up by dissen* tion in four congressional districts. In 1880 and 1888 the Republicans carried the state by a system of “addition1' which, by the expenditure of over $500,-j 000, enough ‘-floaters,” who belong to no party, were induced to add their ballots to the legitimate Republican vote to overbalance the Democratic vote.This year the Republicans expect to carry Indiana by a process of “subtraction,” I. e,, by diverting part of the Democratic vote to the “People’s party.” And they have mapped out the campaign accordingly. Their scheme is to retain their normal vote and decrease the Democratic vote.
