number of Grant delegates according to the mum.
Der OF votes cast for them at the primaries. The
Grant delegates from this county were seated Of
course under the plea OF respecting the rights of
the minority by allowing them equitable repre-

had thus been obtained, the victors seemed to
lose all respect for the rights Of minorities and
against the protest of nine Congressional districts
proceeded to appoint all Grant men, not only to
represent the State at large, but also for each
Congressional district, including the protesting
ones, Many Republicans say this days work

the city was shaken and startled by terrific ex.

THE house committee on elections met
Thursday and it was expected the COM
mittee would vote upon the several con-
tested cases. Those which have been fully
discussed are Donnelly VS.. Washburn, OF
Minnesota; McCabe VS.. Orth, of Indiana,
and Curtin VS.. Yocum, Of Pennsylvania.
In order to give the democrats majority
in the house in case the presidential cleo
ton is thrown into it, they must gain one
more state. This they can do by turning
out either Ortiz or Washburn, and they
have third chance by turning out Van
VOORHEES,, of New Jersey, who is accused
of fraud. 1t is believed that they will
take every chance, and that the commit
tee on elections, which is violently parti-
san, will report in favor of turning cut
both Washburn and Orth, in hopes OF
securing favorable action on at least one
Of the cases in the house. The unseating
of either would be the most fragrant in
justice, and indecent, but the democratic
case is desperate, and they are compelled
to go to extremes in order to keep the
control of the presidency in their hands.
This would be another democratic blum
DER which would help ensure republi-
can success. Go on gentlemen. You
are supplying the republicans with ex-
cellent ammunition.

THERE is a fair sized quarrel looming
up between representative A. II. Ste
phens-1and senator John B. Gordon, both
of Georgia, arising from difference OF
opinion as to who is the proper person to
be appointed census supervisor in one OF
the Georgia districts. Some provoking
messages and declarations have been in
terchanged between the two distinguished
statesmen, which, it has been thought,
might finally end in challenge, but it
now appears that they are disposed to
dissipate their grievances through the
medium of an argumentative correspon-
dence.

ORTHOGRAPHY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP
|-WAsHINGToN, February S.-The fight
over the nomination of Mr.. Simmons, OF
Georgia, to be a supervisor of the Census
may possibly cause permanent split in
the democratic party in Georgia. One
of the objections urged by senator Cor
don and his friends against Mr.. Simmons
is that he is illiterate, and it is especially
said that Mr.. Simmons is a poor speller.
This appears to be quite grave obiec-
tionssin the minds of Southern Democrats
to any candidate for office; but sometimes
Southern Democrats whose photography
is not irreproachable do get into office.
1t may be remembered, for example, that
the first doorkeeper of the house of repre-
sentatives Of the forty-fourth congress
spelled ''bigger" with one "g'' and that
may possibly have been one of the rea-
sons why he was removed.
