ga Democratic member of Con
gress from Maryland. discussing the
question of the Speakership of the
House yesterday, said he thought the
line between the fre-traderS and pro
tecti0niSts would be very closely
drawn. He said he would not be
surprised to see split in the Demo-
cratic party result from the contest.
He said he had not as yet pledged
himself to support either Randall or
Carlisle, although both were very
able men.
HE said he was sorry to see the
bitterness that was being exhibited
between the protectiOnists and free
traders, and expressed hope that
the matter would be settled without
disturbing the harmony of the grand
old party"

A DEvoUT AsTRoNOMER.-Prof.
Brooks. of New York, asks, in con-
sideration of the fact that clear
weather is needed for the observation
of the transit of Venus, on the 9th OF
December next, that prayers be made
in all the churches on Sunday II, xt
for an open sky on transit day. He
reminds the clergy that another tran
sit will not occur for 1913 years. and
that millions Of dollars and months OF
time have been spent in preparation
for the coming event, all of which I've
thrown away if clouds get in front OF

A CharlottsYilIe (Va.) dispatch
states that a novel duel took place
there Friday between Peter Dick and
Charles Roads, two young men,
clerks in store. Dick in sport threw
some cayenne pepper in the face of
Roads, and some of it getting in the
latter's eyes, he was incensed. From
this harsh words were used, and
Roads started to look for a revolver
with the'intention of shooting Dick
He abandoned this, and the two
agreed, after the customary amount
of parleying provided in the code, to
fight a duel with knives. The two
men met Friday, and after a short
but desperate engagement Roads re-
ceived an ugly cash from the navel
diagOnalIy upward across the left
breast. 1t is believed that he will
recover.

that favorable to the ruling theocracy.

Speaking of Buffers chances for the
Democratic nomination for President,
the New York Tribune says: "We
shall view his Wooing of the national
Democracy with great interest, and
we say frankly at the outset that he
has our best wishes. He is a peril
nacl0us and energetic WoOer. but he
has won the consent of a naughty and
unwilling Massachusetts, and after
that any success is possible. Rebuff3
do not discourage him, and ridicule
and cOntemptuous observations he
treats with lofty Indifference. The
Democracy will do well to harden its
heart and double its outposts. The
siege will be rather a quiet and
stealthy one at first, but it will wax
holder and more open as the the end
approaches. Massachusetts was at
first indignant; then Disguised then
thoroughly frightened and then
there was q feeble shrek and final
surrender. 1t would be an immense
joke to see the national Democracy
follow this program during the next
eighteen months.

dates for Governor is S79. 597. To this
add the Prohibition vote. %, 900, and
we have the total vote of the State
906,597. The total vote for President
in 1880 was 1,105, 226. of which Gar
field received BOO 44, and Hancock
534,5ll. The falling off this year is
198,620. This year Judge FoIger's
vote is 342, 1903, which is 2l3, 24l less
than Garfield received. Cleveland's
vote is 536. 1894, which is only 1882
more votes than Hancock rect ived in
1880. Yet Cleveland has the enor-
nous majority of 1891. 1t is self
evident that the Democratic Cover
nor owes his majority not so much
to Republicans voting for him as to
their not voting at all. 1t is safe to
say that 200, 900 Republicans i'm New

too proud to go to the poor house and

commit some gentle offence which
would give him free board and lodg-

started out and began kissing all the

What Simon Says.

New YORK, November 25.-Gen-

city on Friday to attend the funeral
ofhis lifelong friend, Thurl0w Weed.
He got in town, however. too late for
the funeral. In reply to a request
from a Tribune reporter that he would
give some "reminiscences of his friend
ship with Thurlow Weed, he said,
CURLY: 81 made up my mind ten
years ago that l. would never have

General Cameron will remain in
this city until Monday. Several
prominent men here called upon him
at the Hoffman House. One of his
visitors said that he was not diSheart-
ened by the defeat in Pennsylvania
this fall. He told his caller that "his
son would take care of himself and

cause he was defeated. He THE Gen.

Logan on Grant.

CHICAGO, November %. - The
Tribune has a fOur-column letter from
Senator Logan in reply to General
Grants recent article in defense of
General F'itZ John Porter. He goes
ever the whole ground and repro
ducing all the orders, letters, &C., of
the General concerned, and the
various excuses as to fatigue and
time when orders were delivered
which are pleaded in behalf of Por-
ter by Grant and his apologlsts and
defenders. General Grants point
that the night was too dark for march,
ing is met by the statement that the
whole rebel army uLder Jackson
moved that night at a greater dis
lance than Porter was ordered to.
Grants statements are then taken up
and combated. Cases are cited in
which by just such marches as Porter
was ordered to make, great and I'M
portant victories had been won in the
past. In conclusion, he characterizes
General Grants defense of Porter as
astounding and inexplicable, since
there is found not even the fiimsipst
excuse for POrter's disobedience after
twenty years of raking for it. To
vindicate Porter at the expense of
the reputation of Garfield and Hun.
ter, who found him guilty, and to
cloud the reputation of Lincoln. who
approved their findings, is ask ing too
much, even though asked by General
Grant.
