It Is to bdregretfara' that the "onti'iits of
the alleged confcMlon in this seimatt mul c i-o
weronot given to the public at the time of
the Inoueit and'-nrllmliiary examluatiou.
This purported confession Is likely to cut an
Important figure In the trial, and a good
many people will readily conclude, without
regard to the facts, that the documents limy
hare been doctored ere tho trial occurs, es
Icially if it turhrbut in the end to be more
or less than the public has ben led ty ton
aider ItV'iYom the. little that has been given
out in regard to it. It will be very fortu.tr
if the county attorney )4or not discover at
the trial that tils consent to the withholding
of thin impoi taut document from tiie public
has seriously complicated the state's case.
About all that is generally kuown concerning
it is that it i elates to the relations of Mont
gomery nnd Mrs. It vine during their sojourn
at the Curtis House in Chicago, where Mis.
Irvine was leglstered in her own writing as
"Mrs. J. H. Miller, Princeton, Ind.," while
near by on the page Is the name "U. E.
Montgomery, Princeton, Ind." It Is said
that the page from the hotel register, t iru
therefrom by tho injured husband ere ho con
fronted his wife, is among the paperi pro
duced by Irvine at tho time of the shooting
and now so sedulously withheld from tho
knowledge of the public.
Governor Iloyd's absence from tho state
during tho past week attending tho big con
vention o( liiii party would have left the state
house and gubernatorial chair open to siege
and capture by any of tho numerous late con
testantsfortheo'lllce had he not taken the
precaution to call Lieutenant Governor Ma
ors to the chair. Some joker Inaugurated
the rumor that Governor Majors would at
once proceed to remove a lot of democratic
olllce holders. Some one suggested to tho
lieutenant-governor that It would be u big
joke if the governor's private secretary
would write Louie Heimrod in Omaha to the
effect that he hod been removed, but the
gentleman of tho hickory shirt replied that
it would be of little avail a n Joke, for Ixiule
Heimrod would know better than to believe
that lie would think of i tmovlng him. Gov
ernor Majors iipHared to enjoy holding
down the chair chiefly because of thepiac
tlce and preitlge'it afforded,

whether It blows cold or blows warm and
to tell tho tiuth, Is alwoysdiingerous. Even
In couvei'Mitiou, when only one wivou listens,
nnd I he consequences of rash frankness can
always bo tenqs-reil by judicious denial, it
11 quires much moral courage to say exactly

candor Involves the admission of some inca
pacity or personal weakness. Tho amount
of courage 1 equired is pi oportlonatcly greater
when oi.e sets about lieiug candid in black

cannot Iw recalled or wriggled out of , but
will remain to make a solid basis for libel
suits or peisonal retorts, 1 am therefore
rather thankful for tho hot stiell, and will
