The Republians will nominate McKinley’ the Democrats will nominate Bryan’ and McKinley will be electé?,” WASHINGTON, April 4.—Senator Hanua said, respecting Dewey’s canannounced Aipril 1—April fools day.” Aud that’s all Mr. Hanna would say about it. Final Verdict. ALBANY, N. Y., April5—The Molineux case is not expected to be taken up by the Court of Appeals until next winter. The delay is in part explained by the enormity of the record which must be placed before the judges. When this record is typewritten it will contain as many words as are to be found in all of Thackeray’s writings, excepting the earlier sketches and poems. The judges will not read the whole of it. They will only turn to it for reference, and read thove parts of it which are involved in the argument upon appeal. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get an opinion under three years.

The Superior Court-room was filled this morning with eager listeners to hear the evidence for the defense in the case of the People vs. White. ‘The defendant’s attorney, J.M. Walling, made bo statement of his line of defense, but at once called Ralph White, the defendant, to the witness stand. After the introductory statement of’ his name, residence, etc., his attorney proceeded to interrogate him as to the charges ‘stated in the testimony of the prosecating witnesses. The defendant denied them all—all that had any material bearing on the case. He said that Lee Shoecraft never mentioned the burglary of Crawford’s store to him on his call on him at the Central House; that Shoecraft came up there to see him about getting a room at his house, as he had had a row with Mrs. Harrison. Said that he did not go down to the Layton mine with him the day they returned from the Central House, and never went there to assort any jewelry, or to dispose of the proceeds of any tobbery: Said that he went to Grass Valley with Lee Shoecraft on the night of September 10th on the train, but could not tell the name of any man on the train, except Shoecraft.
