Our Anti.Monop Congressman.

We wish to call to the recollection
Of our Autobiography friends, or
those who year or so ago called
themselves by that name. few re.
miniscences, not so remote but that
they will readily recall them. They
will remember that when they were
asked to vote for L. L. Ainsworth for
Congress, ON the plaza that he had
dissolved his connection with the
Democratic party. and was full
aedged Anti-Monopolist, or '1reforrn-
err" the BULLETIN warned them Of
the dishonesty Of this pretense, told
them that Ainswortb was seeking
their votes by the exercise OF the
thinnest kind Of demagogueism, and
predicted that he would affiliate and
act in Congress with the old corrunt
Democracy from 6rsttolast. They will
recollect with what scorn they repu-
dated our warning, and how vigor-
ously they attacked us for daring to
say that Ainsworth was fnything else
than a wh,te.souled retormer. Their
newspaper organ and its numerous
brood Of correspondents, from '.E. c.
B." down, belabored US with all sorts
of wordy whacks, and asseverated
with much heat that Mr.. Ainsworth,
! ii necessary, would stand alone in
Congress, having nothing to do with
ether Of the old corrupt parties.
Well, Ainsworth was elected, and
last week went to Washington to en-
ter upon his Congressional duties
Congress has been in session four
days, not long enough for ma" to
make much Of a record, but long
enough to show our Anti.Monop
friends how badly they have been
cheated. Ainsworth went into the
Democratic caucus tor the nomination
Of Speaker without a scraple. He
adopted as his FIRST choice for Speaker
q man whose record, in regard to
back pay, the Conservative says, is
that OF thief He has not the ex-
cuse, that he would have to stand
alone if he did not affiliate with the
Democracy. Banks, OF Massachp.
sets, Occupies an independent posi-
ton, and Anderson and Campbell, Of
Illinois, refused to 60 into the caucus
Of either party, voting for Speaker
independently. Ainsworth, now that
he is elected, don't train with that
crowd. Here is the record, SO far, of
our AMT Monopoly" Representative.

The Rev. DR.. Eggleston, the Epis-

this Diocese his withdrawal from all

Doubtless the unseemly discord and
bitter feeling developed in the matter
of his election has disguised him and
influenced his final decision. There
is only one way to avoid repetition
of this in the next convention, and
that is, to send none but reputable
and moderate men as delegates.

The Presidents Message.

The annual message of the Presi-

Tuesday. We thought we had made
arrangements for supply of supple
ments containing the message and
reports of departments, but for some
reason they failed to connect, and we
are disappointed. We shall publish
it next week, or at least, the most
important features of it, and reserve
comment upon it until that time.

The DEBORAH Republican is in
favor Of letting the question Of Wo.
mans Suffrage go to the people, and
hopes the General Assembly will
send it there. We hardly think it
possible that our Legislators will re-
fuse this reasonable aud proper de.
mand. The question has arisen to
that proportion that it must be de-
sern,ined one way or the other by the
people, to the end that we may know
to what extent, if any, the idea is
making progress. II; it is gaining
ground, the suffragists will not prob
ably Sacquiesce,'' as the Republican
suggests, if that means abandonment
of agitation, Notwithstanding it may
be defeated this time; but will keep
on educating the public mind until
the demands of justice and equity
are satisfied.

AT the organization Of the House,

for Cox, of New York, for Speaker,
until it was developed that Cox had
no show Of election, and then turned
to Kerr. According to the rule ap,
piled to Gov. Kirkwood by the Dem
