IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIDUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The Democrats are having
bad luck with their Investigations again this
Winter, Not long ago the House authorized an in
vestigation of the Department of Agriculture Some
Democrat had got it into his head that there we're
extravaganza and 'crookcdness" in the management
of that Department. and so an investigation was
promptly set Oh foot. No Roadway has been made,
and gentleman who is III position to know says
the whole affair will turn out to be farce.
One member Of the investigating committee IS
Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri. the successor OF the re-
doubtable Glover of investigating fame. Mr.
Hatch docs not propose to win the same kind Of
reputation that Mr.. Glover did. He says that If any
responsible person will bring any accusations over
his own signature against the Commissioner OF
Agriculture. he, for one, is ready to investigate
them; but he declares that he is not willing to
follow up rumors that have no apparent
foundation, or to he one of "smelling committee
after the style of Mr.. Glover.
So far as can be learned, no charges OF dishonesty
or maladmnstration have been brought against
Commissioner lie Due. The clerk and other en-
ployes if there are any, of the investigating com,
mittee will be just as well paid as though they bad
something to do and therefore one end at least OF
Democratic investigations will be served

county where the people had a chance to express
their views the expression was in favor of Blame.
"Then the Blaine votes in the Convention came
directly from the people. and the Grant votes from

Exactly There was not representative Grant
vote east in the Convention Every one OF the loo
delegates who voted for the Grant instructions was
appointed by county committee to cast such
vote. and every man of them knew he was not rep,

How do You account for Blaines great strength
in Pennsylvania n
In two wayss first. the ant-third-term senti-

and second we are all proud OF nm ~
