scribed, Presented to the jackson Democratic
Association Of Washington by the 18th Ward
Democratic Association of p hiladelphia, March
4tb, 1901" And on the reverse is q finely
executed portrait Of Andrew jackson, with
the immortal enunciation: "The Union must
and shall be preserved "
The presentation address was made by ex-
GOV Bigler Of Pa, and was beautifully con.
ceived indeed, though necessarily brief in
consequence OF the necessity for his return to
the Senate chamber. He concluded with q
graceful compliment to the ladies present, and
said that in the course Of his travels In the late
political canvass he found tho ladies in favor
OF the Union "to man.
The President of the jackson Democratic
Association, Daniel Radcliffe, ESQ ID, responded
"
saying that to him had been assigned the
agreeable duty of receiving the beautiful BAN
ner which, as the organ Of the Twelfth W ard
Democratic Club of Philadelphia, had been so
gracefully presented by Senator Bigler, for
the acceptance of the jackson Democratic As.
soeiation Of this city, and whose exquisite
nnish and adornments so happily attest and
less tnan patriotism, Of the artizsns of Phila
delphia.
-adVerting to the hard fought political vic.
tory gained by the Democracy over those who
counsel the overthrow of this glorious Union,
Mr. Ratclife went on to say:
But that contest for the present at least is
happily over, and the sense of the dreadful
danger which 1t impended no longer disturbs
and Cypress US, as 1t lately did. By the bles-
sing of Providence, we as a people again
breathe freely and BEAUTIFULLY and look al
ready hopefully to cur cogntry's future And
TO be remembered at time like this by the
very humblest of our brethren and comrades,
and to be told by them that our Association,
bearing as it does the honored name of Jack
son, and adopting for its motto his patriotic
sentiment that the Union must and shall be
preserved was true and faithful to its duty
IN the trying times through which we have 90
lately passed, would be joyfully accepted as
| more than an equivalent for the little aid i;
rendered, in producing the result which this
day sends thrill of delight throughout the
length and breadth Of our land, and rejoicss
every patriotic heart, whether Democrat or
Wing But to be so remembered and told by
you OF Philadelphia, by you, the worthy de
| scendants Of that gallant race OF men in whose
very midst the Declaration of Independence
was planned and published to an adjoining
world by you who, without disparagement
to any, may be justly said to have done the
best and hardest service in our late contest,
and to receive from such as you the beautiful
token you have this day presented, in recog
milton and appreciation of the humble efforts
OF our Association, is, indeed an honor and
distinction far, very far, beyond its poor de-
serving; still it gratefully accepts this evil
denae OF your regard, snd begs leave to assure
you that, however little it has yet deserved
the high honor you have conferred, it will
strive hard to prove worthy Of it in time to
come. Henceforth, 1 trust, lis rallying CRY
will, in the language Of the illustrious Web
ster, be Union and Liberty, now and forever
one and inseparsble,' and should danger
again menace that Union, and summon all
patriots to do battle for its defence and pre-
serv alton, the remembrance of this day and
this scene will nerve the heart and strengthen
the arm Of those for whom now speak, and
hesitate not to assure you that the jackson
Democratic Association will carry the banner
You have entrusted to its keeping In triumph
through the thickest of the fight, or perish in
the attempt"

UNPARALLELED IMpUDENCE. - OUTRAGED
JUSTICE MA JUSTICE DOM DONE FOR -!
Last evening, at about 9 o'clock, while our
we'll known fellow-citizen, Justice Dom, was
engaged in conversation in the great hall of
the National Hotel, q skrimmage occurred
among half dozen young gentlemen, who
were carrying on" with a leetle too much
inauguration in their heads, in the bar room
hard by Mr.. Justice Dom, as in duty bound,
of course, rushed promptly to the scene of the
disturbance to command and enforce the
peace While thus engaged in the discharge
Of his duty, he felt the hand Of a scoundrel in
his pocket, and Of course seized him An &C
complete, standing ready for such emergen.
cies, Immediately tipped Mr.. Justice Dom a
single touch Of science between his "wink
ers," which, making the fire e ash from them,
caused him to relax his grip on the villain
who, not having the fear OF the law before his
eyes, had ventured to rob our usually so eff
cient functiOnary thereof. Though there was
no lack of policemen around, both the rascals
managed to escape in the melee, ere Mr. JUS
tice Dsnn had sufficiently recovered from the
surprise occasioned by the adroit way in which
the thing was done, to identify them The
pocket book thus lost by Mr.. Justice Dom
contained trife of $50
MorGt.-Oficers of the law on the lay for

not to carry around with them, into such
crowds as are in overy public place in W ash
ington just now, more money than will buy a
segar. -
