They know also that General Hutton has

The friends of General Hunton will have to
explain why it is that the General has been 90
unsuccessful in getting legislation through Con.

Notwithstanding hs has been over five SUD
cessive years in Congress he has lot succeeded
in wipiDg out that internal monopoly known as
the Aqueduct toll bridge OF Georgetown" as
one of his admirers in the Post very properly
styles it, Nor has he succeeded during that
long time, though be is o member of the Dis
triot Committee, in getting an appropriation
from Congress to build free bridge across the
Potomac at Georgetown.
It is too late now to say that he will do better
hereafter. For FIVE successive years in Con-
gress he has failed to do anything for his con.
sttuents, whilst he has given his time and e.
forts to the 365 bondholders, banks, and Wash

Had he worked as we'll for hia constituents as
he did for the boudholders, that Georgetown
