A HUNDRED years ago Tuesday, Wash
ingtOn took leave Ofh officers at Fraun-
ces' Tavern, corner of Pearl and Broad
streets, New York city. His comrades
in arms awaited him in one of the large
rooms of the tavern; as a writer says,
their hearts beating quick with sup
pressed emotion. Their beloved General
entered the room with a firm step, as
was his wont, but with flushed cheek
and swimming eye. A man of action
and Of few words, he looked for a mo
ment into the faces of the men with
whom he had fought and won the great
battle for liberty and independence, and
then, in a voice trembling with emotion,
he uttered these simple words: With a
heart full of love and gratitude, now
take leave of you. l most devOutly wish
that your latter days may be as prosper
GUS and happy as your former ones have
been glorious and honorable. / cannot
come to each of you to take my leave,
but shall be obliged if each of you will
come and take me by the hand " Tears
blinded the eyes of the hero, his voice
failed him, and he could say no more.
An Over-pOwering, manly grief prevent
ed reply on the part of his officers. One
by one they advanced, and in silence
took him by the hand. Not a word was
said. When the last man had pressed
his hand, Washington turned away,
with tears streaming from his eyes, and
left the room. From Fraunce's Tavern
Washington repaired to Whitehall Fer
ry later in the day, attended by many Of
his officers, and followed by thrOngs Of
citizens, and thence was rowed across
the river to what is now Jersey City.
There was no ceremony iG this affect
ing leaye-taking. 1T was simple and
soldier like, beftting the character of
the men who in long and heroic strug-
gle had won freedom and independence
for their native land"

court Of justice. With reference to the
engine house pavement, city official,
an alleged Democrat, is accredited with
the remark, "We1l get our money for
that pavement; the contractor and eX-
commissioner will be on top yet" Queer
language that for public servant. 1t
seems to be fact worthy of notice that
"A contractor has been for sometime
exercised about the condition of pave
ments and curbing in front of COun-
cilmen's residences, suggesting to them
the essentially of improving that par
ticular feature of their respective dOmi-
Giles, by placing there tagging and flag
stone curbing. A Councilman who,
feeling financially unable to make the
proposed improvement, is met with the
modest intimatiOn or the part of this
contractor, that, "Of course you can
afford it; it won't cost you any more
than brick. I'll do the work for you
right" And, perhaps, further con
cesslOn Is made by his Offering ito trade
it out" Now then, who viii deny there
is not some reward for a COuncilman'S
services, although 1t is generally as
sumed the position Is not an enyiable
one. But who is this contractors legal
adviser? If he has not already received
the benefits of law points on the prOpO-
SitiOu, the time is ripe he should, for he
is certainly in a fair way to occupy an
unenYiahle position before the public.
Maybe though that professional advice
is the foundation for his action? Who

A FEW WORDS FROM THE WEST END

MAs5IfI1N- TSc-TTh-TSsY-


Ed. DEMOCRAT-I notice in your edi-
ton OF Dec. 9Th an open letter from the
pen (?) of John G. Gerwig, Commits
siOner," which, for its elegance of Ian
guage (?) evaslVe style and irrelevant
composition, might commend itself to
some elements of the reading people,
but which, in point of fact, is the un-
healthiest attempt at YindicatiOn that
has ever been my privilege to consider.
Why, the only apparent object of his q?
letter Is an effort to Vindicate Frank
MtlihOf. 1t will suggest itself to most
men that Frank MillhOf is the man to
do that. However, does "JOhn e.. Ger
wig, County Commissioner" appreciate
that it will require more than his sim
pie stroke of pen to set at rest the
obvious impression created by TAX
payers article, in previous edition of
your paper? Some people know more
than John G. Gerwig, County Commis-
siOner," seems disposed to credit. But
since John G. GeTwig, County Commits
siOner, has been so sudden" to rush
into print on Taxpayers" proposition,
will he not cOndescend to answer WEST
End Inquirer" on the West Tuscarawas

anxious to hear from him on that ques-
tion. Come, John G. Gerwig, County

NIAHONE'S PARTY

Senator Malone and some of his lieu
tenants met in Washington a few
nights ago to consider the situation.
--2hese Rsadi1sters met to devise a
scheme for obtaining recognition from
the Republican majority of the Senate,
and to provide for some of their impecu-
niOus followers who will go out of Of
flee when the Democratic Legislature of
Virginia meets.
Malone and his heUtenants only ask
of his Republican allies the cast off
fragments from plentiful table. They
want Gorham TO be made Secretary of
the Senate. He has billeted his son on
the Senate pay roll as clerk of the Ag-
ricultuTal Committee, and he has
number of henchmen scattered through
the departments and filling Federal of.
fees in Virginia. But he wants more
patronage.
The Republicans of Virginia are OPEN
ly Tenouneing MahOnism. Mr.. ]. H.
Rives, chairman of the Republican state
committee of Virginia, has recently
published letter, in which he says of
Malone:
HE has wrecked everything he ever
touched, and | venture TO predict that
he will wreck the Republican party un-
less they avail themselves of the pres
ent opportunity to get RID of the dead
weight. Every lover Of his country and
of republican institutions should re-
jOiee in MahOne's defeat.
"I wrote the President under date of
Nov. %, 1882, in the following language:
4 desire also to say that Senator Ma
hone does not represent Republican SEN
timent in this state, if L am correctly
informed, and that the Republican ele-
ment would be greatly rejOieed if you
would indicate some other source
through which it would be agreeable to
you to receive their views
This warning made no impression on
the President, who was bound by the
Malone bargain. made through Chand-
Ter and GOrham. The spring elections
followed, fOreshadOwing the crushing
overthrow of Nov. 8, which has left Ma
hone wrecked as politician.

to protest against any rec

THERE seems To be little Of striking
interest in President Arthur's message
Our foreign relations are peaceful and
steady. The little correspondence with
Great Britain as to pauper immigration,
and with Germany concerning pork has
made no great stir. Mr.. Arthur does
not recommend any reduction Of the in
tsrnal revenue, beyond the fifty millions
or so already made-at all events, until
further data can be known. He advises
that the coast defenses be removed; in
dOrses FOlger's recommendations as to
the banks and the currency; wants the
postage Oh dropped letters reduced to
one cent; advocates stringent legisla-
tiOn against pOlygamy; hints that Con
gress should pass some act in favor of
the cOlOred people, to offset the break
down of the civil rights law; does not
believe in government telegraphy; asks
that the forests be protected by legisla-
ton; is not posted well enough to speak
definitely of the civil service reform
experiment, and remarks the necessity
of providing against the dangerous stu
alton growing out Of the assassination
of President Garfield, when, had his sue
cessor been removed by death, re5igna-
tiOn or inability to discharge his duty,
the government would have been left
without constitutional head-recOm-
mending the passage of the Senate bill
on the subject. The message was given
