the constitutional right of Congress delegstino
the power TO the chief executive to govern this
District. The power vested In Congress by the
S G should not pass from that body.
Where is the clause In the Constitution which
gives congress such right BY this act our
liberties and power are abridged rather than
enlarged, and republican government, which
the CONSTITUTION guarantees TO all the people in
this country. denied US. In his opinion a new

outskirts Of our city, the cost OF which far ex-

THOMAS y. LLOYD, Hso.,
After alluCiDg to his many friends and pleasant
"reminiscences in the. old Seventh Ward he
expressed regrets that it had to be divided, as
all were his friends within its bounds. The con-
test now before US is not one of self government,
because that right had been denied us. He had
entertained the opinion heretofore that the
people of this District had as, much right to
opinions rs those no live in the States This
District furnished her quota OF troops and
money to crush out the rebellion, pays her taxes
to support the government. and are entitled to
be called A merican citizens. The radical can
didate to Congress, in his first campaign speech
lays great stress the fact that he is radical

delegate with a radical Congress in measures
touching the interests of this District. Sayles
u. Bowen used this same argument in his stump
speeches in the canv ass for the msyoralty, yet
there were fewer favors shown to this District
by Congress under his despotism than ever
before. 1t lie fallacy to suppose that by the
