party that elevated him TO his present po-

We conclude by another quotation from
the same volume, page 4s7:.,
"Jupe the 10Th, 1893. Mr.. Brown
gives NE the following sperimen Of III,
phrenzy which prevailed At New York on
the opening Of the new govetnmpnl. The
first public ball which took place afAr the
Presidents arrival there, Colonel Hum
phreys, Colonel w, S. Smith and Mrs
Knox were 10 arrange the ~ceremonials.-
These arrangements were, as follows. =
sofa al the head Of the rnom, raised on Sc,
veral steps, wherein the President and
Mrs. Washington were To be seated. The
gentlemen were to dance in swords
Each one, when going 10 dance, was ia
lead his partner to the foot Of rhe sofa

and his lady, then 90 and dance, and
when done, bring his partner again to The
foot Of the sofa for new obpisances, and
then to retire TO their chairs, 1t was to h
understood, too, that gentlemen should hr
dressed in bags. Mrs Knox conrrived lc
come with the President, and to follow
hun and Mrs. Washington TO their desli
nation, and she had The design Of (orcipl
an invitation from the President to a sea
on the sofa. She mounted up the step,
after them unbidden, hut unfortunately the
wicked sofa was so short. that when III,
President and Mrs. Washington wpr,
seated, there was m room for n third per
SOM, she was obliged, iterefore, to de
scend in the face Of the company. and t
sit where she could. In, other ,res3ccl
the ceremony was conducted rigoronsl,
according to the arrangements, and III,
President made to pass an evening whIcl
his good sense rendered a very mistrabl,
one to him"
II will be here seen with what loathin
aud contempt the great Apostle Of Demo
crazy, Mr.. JsrFERsnN, entertained f.
these stupid ceremonies of brutal royalty
We hope that The last vertigo Of such u,u
seating folly at Washington Disappear,
forever with The last Wing Administration
