IS LIBBY?
Especial telegram TO the Dlspatch.1
NORFOLK, Va, August 29.-Thc dupli-
Gated Coalition Congressional Convention
at Hampton to-day was very quiet and
uninteresting affair, and the great trouble
before the bodywas called to order seemed
to be to find somebody who was willing
TO be 4 candidate. At an early hour it was
announced that Mr.. PhGbus had posi-
lively declined the nomination, the cause
being that last night number Of the COL
ored delegates to the Convention applied
at the Hygeia for accommodations, and
were told that he would provide for them
accommodations, but they could not be the
guests Of his house.
The Convention was called to order at
1:40 p. NJ, with Rufus 5. Jones (colorcd)
president and i. II. Lively secretary.
DIR. Bayne (coloredD, Of Norfolk, nomi-
mated Mr.. Harry Libby, Of Hampton, as
candidate for Congress, and after numerous
speeches Libby was nominated by acclama-
ton.
OF Mr.. Libby, the new nominee, but
little is known in these parts. lie has,
however, been active in Peninsula politics
for some years, and was the principal COM
petitor lin the primary contests) OF Mr..
Spading, who received the first nomina
ton. Spalding proved TOO strong for him
and his name was not presented at the pre-
yious Convention. Even II Mr.. Libby did
not labor under the disadvantage Of hay
ing succeeded Il candidate who had aban-
doned iorlorn hope, the nomination is
considered in every way weak.

The Use of Money in Elections.

1t is utterly vain to hope for improve
ment in the character of Legislation or
in administration of government as
long as elections are controlled by
money. The politicians who pay to get
or to retain Office, whether in the form
of political assessments or voluntary
contributions, are as rule inclined to get
back their money out of the govern
ment. If they have bought seat in
the legislature they expect to reimburse
themselves by making merchandise of
their votes and influence. If they have
paid their way into departments they
find plenty of opportunity to recoup
themselves at the public expense. Nor
is the case different when the officer
comes by his commission through the
influence of money paid by others. He
knows that his election or appointment
was due to corrupt means, and feels
that he would not degrade himself
much by using corruptly the office
which was corruptly obtained. 1t is
the same old story. The stream can
not be pure if the fountain is unclean.
That word fountain, by the way, is
suggestive of the source of political
power, the people. Has that fountain
been sufficiently stirred for its purifica-
ton of the polluting effect of the use of
money in elections ? Is there strong,
healthy, active public sentiment against
the corruption of politicians, voters
and election officers? The approach
ing canvass will furnish the answer.
The stalwart managers are raising in
the boldest and most shameless man
ner an immense fund for the purpose
of influencing the election. They mean
to pay the way for their candidates
wherever toll will be taken. They re-
iy for success upon their ability 10 buy
victory which they cannot otherwise
command. Their opponents are unable
to meet them in the market, and they
ought not to compete with them if they
had the wealth of Ormus or of Ind.
There is but one thing to be done by
the friends of pure elections and honest
government, and that is to make the
issue plain and strong and irrepressible
against the use of money in politics.
Let the laws applicable to the matter
be vigorously enforced against all Of
tenders. Let watch be kept for the
bribe-giver and the bribe-taker, and
''let no guilty man escape" ."-Patriot.

NO COMPROMISE.

The two factions of the Republican
party, through their respective commit
tees, held meetings last week to effect
a compromise, if possible, of their diff
ficuties The Stalwart committee, after
some discussion, agreed to submit
the following propositions to the lnde'
pendents:
First-The ticket headed by Jas. A. Beaver and
John Stewart, respectively, to be submitted tos
vote of the Republican electors OF the State at the
primaries as hereinafter provided for.
Second.-The selection OF candidates to be voted
for by the Republican party in November, to be
submitted as aforesaid every Republican elector
constitutonally and legally qualified, to be eligible
to nomination
Third.-A State convention to be held, to be con.
stituted as recommended by the Continental Hotel
conference, whereof Wharton Barker was chairman
and Francis b. Reeves secretary, to select candi-
dates to be voted for by the Republican party in
November. Its choice to be limited TO candidates
now In nomination, or unlimited as the Independ-
ent State Committee may prefer. The primaries
or convention referred to in the foregoing proposi
tions to be held on before the fourth wednesday
in August next, under the regulations or appor.
tlonments to be made by Daniel Agnew, Hampton
L. Carson and Francis b. Reeves, not In connct
however, with the acts OF Assembly regulating
primary elections, and the candidates receiving
the highest popular vote or the votes OF majority
OF the members OF the convention, to receive the
united support OF the party. .r .
Fourth.-A state Convention to be held to be
constituted as provided for by the new rules adopt
ed by the late Republican state Convention, TO Sc.
lect candidates to be voted for by the Republican
party In November, provided II such convention
can be agreed to, said convention to be held not
later than the fourth Wednesday I'm August
-Four of the Independent candidates in
a letter ADDRESSED to all the stalwart can
didates, agreed to accept the third
proposition on condition that both
tickets be withdrawn, the several can
didates to pledge themselves not to ac-
cept any subsequent nomination by the
proposed convention. Col. McMichael
the independent nominee for congress-
man at-large, refused to withdraw. He
says: 81 will not withdraw or retire
unless events hereafter shall give assur-
ance that necessary reform 10 the civil
service shall be adopted; assessments
made upon Office holders returned and
not hereafter exacted; boss, machine
and spoils methods forever abandoned ;
and all our public offices, from United
States Senators to the most unimport-
ant officials, shall be filed only by hon
est and capable men, who will represent
the people and not attempt to dictate to
or control them. I shall go on with
this fight, asking the support of all my
fellow citizens who believe in the prin-
ciples of the Independent Republican
convention of May PA T.. ~"
Chairman Cooper says that the Beav-
er party will not agree to the Independ-
ent proposition, and there can be no
compromise on that ground. The fight
will therefore 90 on.

Manipulating the Record.

Mr.. Hewitt complains, with reason,
that Mr.. Robson has made an assault
on him in the Congressional Record
in language never uttered on the floor
of the House. The official stenographer
does not find the offensive language in
his notes, and Mr.. Robson does not
deny Mr.. Hewitt's charge.
1t is common thing for members to
make the Record bear false witness.
They put into the congressional dump
heap speeches never delivered or, they
Withhold their remarks "for revision"
and print an essay very different from
the speech made before the House.
Withholding for revision thus frequently
becomes a pretext for printing for home
consumption remarks that would not be
allowed before the House. When a
member is assailed under cover of the
printed pages no member takes the
trouble to complain, and it is rare that
anybody takes so bold liberty as Mr..
Robson has taken, What he did GER
tainly was neither manly nor honest, and
no rebuke which the house could ad-
minister would be too severe.
This unsavory episode ought to sug-
gest to Congress that it is time to make
the Record what it purports to be, an
honest report of what is said and done
in the two houses, no more and no less.
Official reporters are provided for that
purpose, and while members might be
allowed to do some revising for style
and to revise out too frequent gram
matical errors, they ought not to be al
lowed the latitude which very strain
ed idea of courtesy has permitted la
the case of Mr., Robson it takes moth
ing from his offense to charge back on
Mr.. Hewitt that he added the weight
of his Endorsement to the Morey letter
forgery Mr., Hewitt had the manli-
ness to acknowledge that he had been
duped in that miserable business, and
to make what amends he could for the
wrong to which he had been unconsci'
ously party. But if Mr.. Hewitt had
forged the Morey letter that would not

DRAMATICALLY sEpARATED AND AGAIN
UNITED.


A singular case is now in the muni-
cipal court at St. Paul. Twenty-fi We
years ago Angie Miller and Harrison
Kent were married at Albany, N. Y,
and in time eight children were
born to them. About eight years ago
Kent left his family and went to Min
nesota. Communication was kept up
at irregular intervals with his family,
and finally ceased altogether Suppos-
ing her husband to be dead, Mrs. Kent
went to st. Paul about two years ago
establishing boarding house. Among
the boarders in Mrs. Kent's household
was one j. A. Miller, who becoming in
fatuated with the charms of his land
lady made an offer of marriage, which
was accepted, after much hesitation,
the lady fearing that her husband
might not be dead. However Mrs.
Kent became Mrs. Miller in March last.
Now comes the singular part of the
story. On Friday, Kent, spectator
at Sells brothers show, was accosted
by one of his own children. Explana.
tions resulted in the meeting of husband
and wife and meeting of the two
benedicts BY mutual agreement the
lady was allowed to choose between the
two better halves, and she chose Kent,
her first husband. In fit of anger,
as the reunited pair claim, Miller
has preferred charge which now stands
against them in the police court.

What They Deserve.

A Washington dispatch of the 18th
says: The reports that reach here
that Robson and Keifer may be re-
tired to private life give more general
qualification than it might be agreeable
for those gentlemen to hear If Keifei
is beaten for the nomination the Re
publicans will be rescued from a very
awkward dilemma Scarcely any one
wishes his reelection to the speaker.
ship, and yet to change the candidate
would be to confess that the party
blundered in its original selection, In
Robson the Republicans recognize a
man of great ability as party leader,
but his record is so vulnerable that his
presence is source of constant annoy
ance, and latterly he has made two or
three grievous mistakes as a manager
which have seriously impaired his pres
tige and influence So far as reports
can be trusted, Keifer will probably wir
the nomination, while Robeson's
chances are less hopeful. Robson i,
said to be working like a beaver, and
in spite of his professed indifference t.
to newspaper criticism is reported to bt
carefully looking after newspaper sup
port in his district.

Mason's counsel for release of his
client on the ground that he is illegally

adheres strictly to the views expressed

will not be reported to the president

A Promise to the Dying not Binding.

When William Anderson, of Blair
county, was dying his wife Jane prom
ised him that she would endeavor to
agree to the terms of his will After
his death she gave paper to the ex-
ecutors, carrying out that agreement.
She was told, however, that she had
simply relinquished $4,000 of her dow
er. She consequently revoked the
agreement and put IN her claim for one.
third of the estate, which was valued
at $4,000. The other heirs sought to
hold her to her written promise, and
when the county common pleas decid-
ed against them appealed to the su-
preme court. The latter tribunal also
supported her and said: "It matters not
what Mrs. Anderson's motive was in
electing to take under the will A
promise to that effect made to her hus-
band was clearly not binding on her."
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-07-21

Congressman Butterworth has attain
ed most unenviable notorrty by using
vulgar and obscene language on the
floor of the House at Washington. The
newspapers are demanding his expul-
sion as a matter of decency. A man
who has so little regard for his reputa-
ton as to use language so foul as to
drive ladies from the gallery, would
seem to be the kind of creature his
constituents should recall. The House
of Representatives is evidently not the
proper place for him. The Philadel-
pbia Times gives Butterworth the fol-
lowing editorial puff: "There are black
guards and blackguards both in and
out of Congress, but the obscene black
guard, whose presence in the House
torbids woman's presence in the tenn
pie OF American Craftsmanship, is the
blackguard whose dismissal from Con-
gress would be simply an assertion OF
the sense of decency of the Republic.
Put the blackguard out !"
