ALEXANDRIA HERALD.
+, MONDAY. IyLy as, 1918.

ne has taken steps to discover the mean
spirited profigate who corresponds from
Washington with the editor Of the De-
imocratic Press, for saying that upon re-
ceipt OF MIR. Monroe's report "Eanson
(" this morning (is,h JULY got leave of abb
(" sence for the remainder of the session,
!" although his residence is within 2 miles
(. Of the capitol" Now we would advise
Hanson, not to take much trouble for fear
he should find out. Least he should again
have to expose his cosvardice, as Vas the
case with Gov. Wright. Hanson came up
with reputation for fighting, and when he
was sworn In stared the speaker full in the
lace. A few days after he made a ramping
speech in the case of Richards-and tho't
he had scared every body. But when that
old wing Wright told him to his teeth, his
frm belief.that he was in British pay-he
deakcd ouf precipitately to the utter asto-
nshment of " lis friends in congress-,
Hanson said he coul d not so forget himself
as to make reply TO the gentleman from
Maryland-if this be so--can any one sup
pose that Hanson really wishes. to know
who corresponds with Bmn's Hanson IS
reasons are obvious as it regarded Wright,
he kne4p he qyouid fight and that he was
very ertert in the use of the pistol. Han
son appears to have acted like bully we
once heard of &c do you call me liar sir 2"
+" do" replied the person engaged in dis
pute with him recollect, you arc in earn
est sir'' &c / am" replied the other " am
glad TO hearit (says the bully) for suffer
no man to take these lDerties with me in
jsSt." SO the affair ended like that between
Hanson and Wright. SO it always will be
where Hanson has a similar character to
deal with. He instituted suit in Balti-
more, against the editors of the Baltimore
American, for saying something about Bril-
fish pay or influence, we know not which
but withdrew it of his own accord-and
the. same was the case in Anne Arundel
He knows very we'll that all his waste pa.
per would not stop the mouths of those who
say it.
Hanson has a great desire to be consider
ed as the federal leader by the democrats !;
they will not notice him on the floor, and
this is one great and indeed principal rea-
son for his acrimony-and has rendered
still "morc obstinate" his pulmonary COM
plant. He is said to be at times quite hy-
pochondgiac and that viewing himselfin a
mirror, in fit of absence took himself
for Rrenchman and was near beating his
brains out against the chimney piece
Happily he was restored to his family by
being wrapped up carefully for few hours
in Russian bear skin.
What is this, sir, says printers boy to
