GAG.LAw POLAND RENoMINATED
willard Left at Home.
telegram from Washington saws ::

A telegram from Washington says
1.-THE defeat for denomination of Con-
gresham Willard, of Vermont, and the
nomination of Poland, of press gag-law
fame, creates considerable surprise here.
Willard was one of the hardest workers in
Congress. Honest and faithful to the in
terests OF his district, no faint Of dishon-
esty, in even remote manner, was ever
attributed to him. On the other hand ,Po-
land was we'll known to be super of
the District ring, and, it is alleged, was
cheek by iowl with the deposed ex-boss
His voice was never raised in the exposure
of any frauds and swindles attempted to
be rushed through Congress; while Will
lard, always on the alert, faithfully in
more than one instance, denounced many
of the lobby schemes"
And the Chicago Times says:
The way Vermonters appreciate honest
public servants is shown by their treat
ment of two members of Congress
Poland, who has been the most abject
slave of partyism ever since his election,
voting ioi every party measure, no matter
how big steal it might involve or how
much wrong it might accomplish, has been
rewarded for his fidelity by denomination.
Willard, who is an active, honest man, with
keen scent for corruption and the manli-
ness to expose it, no matter if it does in
jure the party, has been invited to stay at
home. During his long service in Con,
gress he has been one of the few New
England members who has stood boldly
against all swindling schemes, no matter
by what party they have been advocated.
He has met his reward, but will be more
respected and respectable in private life
than he could hope to be if he continued

Of Washington
And the ~ Y T45une says:
1.-THE congressional nominations made in
Vermont on Wednesday are good illus
tration of the present low state of political
morality. The mau who had done nothing
to entitle him to a recommendations, but had
done much to show his uuhtness for his po-
sition, was renominated. The man who in
all OF his political life had followed the die
tates Of his conscience, without regard to |
policy, who was never politician, but al |
ways frank, honest, fearless man, was
refused nomination. Judge Poland will
probably be sent back because he is a
faithful partisan. Mr.. Willard will be left |
at home because he is patriot aud not a |
partisan. The man whom party has made |
goes back again to do the bidding of the
party leaders, be they Boss Shepherd or
the kings OF the caucus. The man whom
party hates because he leaves it whenever
1t acts dishonesty or unpatriotically, will
be missed in the assembly where men of
his class are so rare, and the country will
be deprived of services which are vital to
its welfare ~

Ii the first of these grounds for bel,av-

The Luxury Of New York Hotels and Their

The Luxury Of New York Hotels and Their
Tables.
It is matter of much interest to tho Sc
who visit New York to keep posted about
the hotels. Recently there has been quite
a rivalry among tirst-class hotels about
their bills-oE.fare, each striving to set the
best table for its guests. We speak more
particularly Of the hotels on Broadway and
Fifth Avenue-the Grand Central being
the largest, most centrally located, and
elegantly furnished. OF the four or
FIVE leading hotels, the bills-of fare are
covered with the names of the most luxur-
liant yiands of the season. The bill Of the
Grand Central especially, deserves setting
apart as notable specimen of modern
culinary skill 10 the number, variety, and
richness of its dishes 1t contains no less
than eleven an courses for dinner, and
gives the hours for no less than six (6l
meals every day, for the moderate sum of
from So to "a per day, including, of
course, an elegantly furnished room for
eac.l guest. II would seem from this that
the tours Of our travellers and the, visit of
our business men become rounds of pleas
ure as well as of business. Z. i 5s n
