WASHINGTON, Dec. g. 1913.
JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,
DEAR Sri
freely yesterday, Ole Bull partook but little He
said he was the creature of excitement and enthu-
siasm, and he could not bear it. He complained
Of severe pain in his chest, and also of some diff
6culty in the movement of his left hand and we
began to entertain serious fears that he would not
be able to perform, to his own satisfaction at least
last evening. But he left the dinner early, took
walk, inhaled the fresh air, looked with admiration
upon some of the Washington bellies, caught lit
tie of the spirit of liberal and free institutions as
he gazed upon the capfsi,> and wss ready to per-
form his part in the evening, to the-wonder aston
ishment, and amazement of every One who heard
him. Through the extraordinary efforts OF Mr.
Emery, and the patience and perseverance Of Sig
La Menna, the leader OF the orchestra, very good
lndeed superior Accompaniment was ready TO
perform on the occasion. Mrs. Bailey sung in her
usual neat and tasty style. But the audience were
altogether carried away by Ole Bull. No language
couid express their emotions-and not few OF the
tar ladies' OF Washington, as was the case with the
LADIES OF Baltimore, would have been delighted to
have waited upon the handsome violinist, and in
wopriis personis testified TO him their admiration
the southern ladies. need not say that the whole
house was crowded with the very Elite of Washing
ton, including such Members Of Congress as were
in town. Ole Bull left this morning for Baltimore,
where he performs this evening He returns and
gives another concert here tomorrow (Wednes-
day. evening; after which he leaves for Richmond
and other places In Virginia.
Two or three important resolutions have been
introduced into the Senate to-day, as will be seen
by the report. refer particularly to the resolution
Of Mr.. Allen TO open the doors of the Senate while
transacting Executive business-to the notice of u
bill by Mr.. Atkinson to establish government
over Oregon, &c.
The complaint is very general in relation to the
difficulty OF hearing in the gallery what is said in
the Senate below. And II is most respectfully sug-
stituents, the public, have no right to know what
they say and do upon the floor of the Senate, yet
as matter of courtesy, they might, when important
speak loud enough to be heard in the gallery

MIR. DENNETT:-
Do or do notthe American Republicans, as party
intend TO run separate candidate for the Presi-
dency This point is obscured in mystery, darkness
and doubt. In all their proceedings satisfactory
answer is given to this oft repeated inquiry If they
do not intend, why not avow it at once in an
open, manly, Herald like manner-ln manner not
to be mistaken. This done, and all opposition
ceases the. instant the declaration is made-their
party will be the only party SO far as the city go
vernment is concerned. This point ,gained-our
city freed from corruption, fraud and crime, and
the work of reformation to say the least is nobly
begun; indeed it will be glory enough for one year,
to have removed all foreigners from ofce-esta-
blished strong and effective police-reduced one
half the current expenses of the city---ceaned and
blsh from the sidewalks, and many other burdens
Now is this the design of :" Young America" or
party in politics. and, of course, share the fate Of
the last half century Thousands are halting be-
portant inquiry QUERIsT.
We cannot answer the question-nor do we be-
lieve can Young America. Why ask them ques-
ton which cannot be answered? The first great
object is to reform the city government-to run for
the city government-to confine their purposes to
the city government. When that object is achieved,
it will be time to inquire "what next 2" That is
our opinion. The Presidential question is not suf-
fcently developed to know what's what, or who's
who.

THE PUBLIC On.--The Superintendent Of the
OIL Department seems TO be woefuly lacking in in-
formation as to the quality Of the oil now consumed
in the several oil lamps belonging to the corpora

Malachi Fallon, and inspect the walls of his Egyp-
tian Mansion in Centre street The purity he
talks so largely about in his communication to the
Board of Assistants, last night is sadly deficient in
the oil burned there.
