senator Grimeu


Theodore Tilton wrote from Washington
to the Independent two weeks ago:
Governor Grimes. of Iowa. who speaks
little and accomplishes much, is one Of the
pillars against whom the weaker men lean
and are propped into strength.
And again IN a subsequent letter:
at is hard to find anywhere better worker
in public business than Senator Grimes of
Iowa.
To this may we'll be added the following
well merited tribute from the pen of the
Washington correspondent, of the Cincinnati
Commercial:
'sJames ". Grimes. Of Iowa, sits between
Senators Clark and Brown. lie is stout
firm looking man, almost Fifty years old, q
good mental and moral specimen OF = rugged
White Mountain boy developed in the West
He is not large, but compactly built, dark
complexioned. has an honest face and style,
dresses very plainly, and strikes every one as
clear headed, frank, brave, and infiexible.
His standing in Iowa has long been high: he
was q popular Governor for two terms, and
has been Senator since 1859. He has
good education and practical knowledge Of
men and things, and while there is nothing
dashing about him he is regarded among the
most reliable men of the times

We call the attention Of our readers TO
the communication in another column
from on9 of the Oldest and best citizens of
the Fourth Ward, in relation TO the vote
cast in that ward at the Congressional
primary elections. It exposes fairly and
with dignity the mis-statements made by
DR.. Curtiss, chairman of the Committee
on Credentials, in the Convention. Every
body that knows anything about the way
the election in this city was conducted,
knows that the Second, Third and Fifth
Wards were carried for Judge Spalding
by Gopperhesd votes. In every ward
and township which Mr.. Parsons carried,
only the usual and fair vote Of the city
was polled. In the Third Ward, nearly
two hundred Democratic votes werenolled
Tor the Spalding ticket. In the Fiffh
Ward over one hundred were so Polled.
In the Second Ward some seventy-fye
were 50 polled. These are stubborn facts.
We should not have alluded to them
again but for .he impudent claim of the
Herald that the elect ), ss conducted
airly and decently. In tie face Of the
,torious facts, the brazen fslsi6cation

The House resumed the consideration of
| the Senate amendment TO the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial Appropriation Bill,
| when the Recommendation Of the Committee
| on Appropriations in regard to the amend,
ment was agreed to and committee fcon-
| ference asked.
The question ia reference to the printing
of the majority and minority reports of The
Reconstruction Committee came up.
Mr.. WASHBURNE, of Illinois, said he
understood the matter was susceptible of
simple explanation, and if the motion to
refer to a select committee was Withdrawn
the chairman Of the Committee on Printing
would explain the matter satisfactorily.
Mr.. LEBL0ND thereupon withdrew his
motion to refer TO q select committee, ex-
| pressing at the same time his firm convic-
tion that the failure to print the majority
and minority reports together was an cleo
tioneering dodge, because the minority re-
port was a complete refutation of the ma
iority report. -s- q 5roH -aaf
Nj. LAFLIN, chairman of the Committee
on Printing, explained that the testimony
taken by the Reconstruction Committee
was handed in and ordered to be printed,

18th of March; that afterwards the report
of the msjority was handed IN, and after
being printed was sent with the testimony
10 the binder, and it was ten or eleven days
afterwards that the minority report was
handed in. The House then ordered the
printing of 100000 extra copies of these.re-
ports, 70 be bound together, and that order
was being carried out .-
Mr.. LEBL0ND inquired if the chairman
of the Committee on Printing could inform
the House whether the testimony and ma

before the minority report was received by
him.

votes cast than ever had been polled for
any Union or Republican candidate in
said ward. 1913
Now, Sir, the facts are these; There
were 64s votes cast at the primary meet
ing last Saturday evening. 5ohh Brough

being LOG votes more than were cast at the
