Messrs. John Z. Norris, President Nat. Dem
Jack. Ass; j. b. Wilson, Vice President do;
Richard Smith, Secretary; II. s. Davis, Treas
urer, and G. p. Culver, Corresponding Sscre-
tary, seem to be worthy officers of that we'll
named association. Citizens of Washington
willing to associate themselves with L. e. Reayis
in the support of a capitol moving candidate for
the Presidency need no sworn certificate Of
donkeyism. But when these gentlemen IN 1er-
take TO defeat members of Congress who have
been friendly TO this District solely because the
course OF the members was not always in their
barrow groove, they show q touch of Malignant
stupidity that we are ashamed to acknowledge
on the part of members of this community. 1
will serve these men right If their property in
tertsts (the tenderest point with them should
suffer through a renewal of the capital moving
agitation, and through the indignant refusal Of
members OF Congress hereafter to vote dime
for the District, or take any interest in our af-
fairs, lest some of our Dem. Jack. poll
ticians should undertake to turn it to
their disadvantage ia their home districts.
A secret circular sent out to Wisconsin BY this
association, and signed as above, has Leen ex-
pcsed. 1t Is made up of series of deliberate
falsehoods in regard to the action of Hon. Chas
a Eldridge upon the District investigation and
was intended to cause his defeat in his district
One OF the lies in this precious docunent is that
the minority report OF the inves tigating com
mlttee disclosed ''a series of frauds worse than
those OF the so-called Tammany ring of New
YORK" Now il will be remembered that even
roosevelt, with all his vindictive il!-will
against the Board of Public Works, did not
dare TO hint at frauds in his minority report
MS report charged "reckless extravaganza"
&c, upon the board; but the fact that he was
silent upon the charge of fraud made by the
investigators shows that, with every disposition
TO Go so, he found no particle of evidence to
sustain it. 1t is not likely that secret circular
of this disreputable character will damags Mr.
Eldridge in his home; but if we are not much
mistaken, the signers to it will find themselves
good deal damaged in the opinion Of thought
full people in their home

Sayies j. Bowen Is out in . six-colunn letter
su about President Grant and the I-street
house. He admits now that he gave up the
bargain and signed full release OF the prop
erty, but whines that he did not get interest on
the thousand dollars he paid on the purchase
This interest would amount to upwards Of seven
dollars. In the name OF suffering humanity,
cannot somebody send Bowen his seven dollars
and stop his whining?
