THE BANQUET LAST NIGHT.

sumptuous banquet was rendered the
delegates. A large. number OF promi.
nent invited guests were present, among
whom were Mayor Johnston, Mr.. r. T.
y
Hon. James Fitzgerald, Hon. +. Nassau

Guiding plentiful supply of rich spark.
ling wine. Around these were seated
three hundred guests, to whom Prof.
Weigand's Orchestra discussed class
ical programme of entertaining music,
and the best of cheer and order pre-.
vailed.
Mayor Johnston responded to the toast
sThe City of Cincinnati" He welcomed
the guests in most cordial manner, and
in conclusion hoped that their stay and
the entertainment would prove of such a
nature as would cause them to remem.
ber us with esteem and regard.
Hon. James w. Fitzgerald then re-
toast, "The City Council" and con.
cluded by hoping that the Brewers AS
sociation would never have greater ene-
mics 10 contend with in the brewing in
terest than the City Council.
The next toast, "Personal and Indus
trial Liberty" was responded to by MIR.
+. Hassaurek, in which he mainly at
tackled State rights, and held that per-
sonal liberty must be considered first
and State liberties afterward. Hence
temperance laws, which were but an
other form of State legislation, should
not interfere with the personal liberty oi
the individual.
The toast"The United States Brewers
Association" :" was responded to by Presi-
dent I'll. ii. Rueter, after which Mr.. Kat
zenmayer was called upon, but begged
to be excused. Several other volunteer
toasts were then offered, after which the
company dispersed in excellent good
humQr.

At the commencement Of the investi-
CATION last night, Mr.. Wells offered a
resolution, which was adopted, request
ing all persons having information. con-
cerning the Water-works management,
or knowing of persons having such infor-
nation, to send the names OF such per-
sons to the Chairman OF the Committee.
Senator W. P. Wallace knew of no
combination to purchase the Water
works, and had never talked with Mayor
Johnston or any of the Trustees about
the matter. Had introduced what was
called the 'sWallace BilP' in the Legis-
lature for the purpose of allowing COM
petition in the manufacture and sale OF
gas in this oity. 1t had no connection
with any plan looking to the sale Of the
Water-works.
MIR. Fred. Meyers, Superintendent OF
the Consolidated Street Railroad Com
pany, testified that Joe Redmond had
told him that Barger would have to pay
the boys something to keep that contract
going, and that when he had asked how
much, Redmond showed him card on
the back OF which the figures 900 were
written. Redmond said the figures were
Tom Quinn's. He had told Barger OF
this and he said he would not give a
cent. Redmond afterward denied hav-
ing talked to him about the matter, but
said that if he had it was another proof
Of the fact that he was always talking
too much. Redmond and "the boys''
wanted him to run for Water-werks
Trustee, but he declined.
Mr.. John Ridgeway, who In connection
with Andrew Brehm arbitrated the diff.
ference between Barger and the Board
of Trustees testified that Barger during
the progress of the arbitration had told
him that there were some men who
wanted $780, O,O0O out OF him as the price foi
continuing his contract. He thought
that Barger had a magnificent contract
at 81 90 per perch tor limestone rock
| So 80 would have been good price.
Mr.. Alex Swift testified that he had
made bid on the iron for the new boil.
ers OF the Water-works. The require.
ment was tensile strength Of 100, 0,00(
pounds to the square inch, but
lit was subsequently reduced to 78,00(
square inch; the ordinary strength
for the best marine boilers was 0,00(
pounds, and he did not believe there waf
stronger iron made for boilers; his bid
was six cents pound; the award was
made at ten cents a pound; the differ.
ence between his bid and the award
| would be about $1O,00 II the iron foi
the boilers was tested and stood pres
sure of $1,000 pounds to the square inch
it was all right.
Joe Redmond was put ON the stand
again and denied the statements thai
have been made during the course Of this
Investigation. He denied everything
and closed by saying that he did not tel
Gus. heather that he knew more thar
he cared to tell. O.

TIE NEW DEMOCRATIC LEADER

To the Editor Of the National ReDutJticGn:
SIR: think the suggestion Of L. in your
paper of this morning good one. For myself,
and for many other Democrats, it is no. too
much to say that we had begun to fear that
the victories of last fall were TO be thrown
away by the jealousies among prominent
Democrats, and by anticipated complications
in the South, and that it would be necessary
TO nominate some half-hearted Democrat like
Chas. Francis Adams or Judge Davis, but If
Mr.. Madigan can be nominated, or any other
unexceptionable Democrat who will not be
open to the enmity of the friends and parti-
sans of the eight or ten distinguished gentle
man who aspire to the Office, We may succeed.
OF Mr.. Madigan 1t can be said, in addition
TO what 3. says, that he is a lawyer by pro-
fession, and probably refuses more practice
in year than any Of the Maine Representa-
tives for the last decade (eXcept Judge Peters,
Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Hale) have had in five
years; is a man of unusual culture; of most
commanding personal appearance and digni-
fed bearing, and Of independent fortune.
think he was educated at Georgetown, but
am unable to verify this now. He has rarely
accepted Office, but when the Republican Gov
ernor Of his State, few months since, ten
dered him position as one of the three emf
nent lawyers to prepare amendments to the
constitution, he did not feel called upon 10
decline it. The place is not a political one,
however. Mr.. Madigan lives in the beautiful
village Of HoultOn, and is hospitable almost

Washington President for Twenty.thrss Years

But in the case of Washington it must he
remembered that he was practically President
from'1774 to 1871, a period Of twenty-three
years. AS general of the armies he dictated
to Congress the whole policy Of the war of the
Revolution. After his retiring from the COM
mand Of the army, in 1888, he had aninterreg-
nun Of 4 few years, during which he engaged
in real estate spcculations and in the interest
Of canals and education, and Of a more perfect
