FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

It occurred In the middle OF a cold
winter, a most inoonvenient season.
Congress did not learn the acceptance
OF the new Constitution by snfti cient
number OF States until late in the
summer of 1883, and did not name
the day for the election OF a President
until the 18Th Of September.
The three interesting days were
then appointed-the three Wednesu
days." ss they we're called. On the
frat Wednesday OF January. 1889,
the people were to elect presidential
electors. On the frat Wednesday of
February the electors of each State
were to meet and choose q President
and Vice.President. On the first
Wednesday in March (which was the
4thl Congress was to meet in New
York, count the electoral votes, and
Get the new government in motion.
So the first presidential election
took place at very cold time OF year.
Mr.. Madison, sfterward President.
who was always fond OF his joke, used
to take much pleasure in telling bis
friends what remarkably cold time
they had at that winter election. He
mas running for Congress in Vir-
ginia against James Monroe, who was
destined TO succeed him in the Presi-
dency.
The two candidates had a public
discussion one Sunday afternoon in
the open air from the steps OF La-
theran church.
It was not usual then to hold DO.
litical meetings on Sunday; but the
issues we're not deemed go important,
and it was so hard to get people to-
gether in the middle of winter, that
it was thought proper to invite the
congregation after church to listen to
q political debate.
A keen northeastern was blowing.
When Mr.. Madison mounted the
steps, aud addressed the people. he
had to face as sharp a wind as ever
blew in Virginia. Il was so cold that
enc of the speakers ears was frozen,
and so badly, too, that the ear showed
some traces OF it to his dying day. As
Mr.. Madison told the story. he would
point to the marks upon his ear. as
''the honorable scars he had borne
from the battle field"
Out of the whole body OF voters, it
is questionable il 100 would have cast
their votes againstlGensral Washing
ton.
AS to the Weep residency, nobody
appears to have wanted the Office
very much. It was generally agreed
that. since Virginia was to give a
President. Massachusetts ought to
furnish Vice-President. The three
candidates most spoken of were SAM
uel Adams, John Hancock. and John
Adams. Governor Hancock was too
proud to want the second place.
Samuel Adams was not thought to be
hearty friend OF the new govern
ment.
The choice. therefore, fell upon
John Adams. just bom from England
and Holland, where he had served
his country with great ability.
I believe his descendants to this
day possess "the chain aud medals
Of gold, OF the value of l 300 fiorins,"
which were given him that year by
their High Mightinesses. the ohief
magistrates of Holland.-James Par

Fifty Italians Ont In the cold.

bhllluore hubTlCAu.
About so Italian laboring men are now
living on the charity OF the people of
Aberdeen and vincinity, in Hartford
county. Many of them are in very
destitute condition. They had been en-
gagged two months ago by Alexander
Harrigan, sub-contractor under A. s.
Psrliment, on the new Baltimore & Ohio
railroads Philadelphia branch. Most of
the laborers were brought from New York.
They have been working at grading on
section 27, near Aberdeen. 1t appears
that last Wednesday night Mr.. Harrigan,
the sub-contractor, who belongs in
Massachusetts, suddenly left the
work aud has not since been seen.
The workmen say he did not pay
them. James Pritohsrd, one of the fore
men says Harrigan owes him about 800,
and that he owes some other bills. The
poor Italians have no money. Mr..
Pritohard fed the SO of them last sunday,
and since then has taken up collections
in the town and neighborhood Tor their
support. Several Irishmen who were also
employed on this section have gone to
Havre de Grace, in the hope of getting
work. Mr.. Pritohard has applied for an
attachment on the January work for his
claim. The Rev. J. W. Steele OF Absr-
deem, and Mr.. Pritohard came to Balti-
more yesterday and had talk with
Chief Engineer Douglas about the matter,
He told them that Contractor Parlimsnt
would have to pay the labcreys.

THE pACAHT JUDGEsHIP.
Two Candidates In the FaeId-How
the Fight Wages.


The contest for the vacant seat on the
bench Of the Unitsd States court of This
district is well under way and promises
10 be very active one. ALI the
applicants for the place, except ex.Judgs
george + Fisher OF Dover, and William
G. spruAnee, KsG., Of this city, are rs-
garded as being out Of the race and have
not been mentioned In connection with
the plsoe finos Saturday.
Edward u. Bradford, Jr., Esq whose
name was favorably mentioned in conpeo-
tion with the position stated Monday
morning that he would not allow his
name to be used In connection with the
appointment.
With this announcement from Mr. Brad
ford, the contest for the place narrows
down to Messrs. Spruanos and Fisher.
Both applicants have friends looking
after their interests, and a great deal OF
work is being done among the legal
fraternity to day. Petitions are beug
circulated and letters obtained for each
applicant. The signatures here show that
the bar OF New Castle county Ia almost
unanimous in urging Mr.. spruance's ap
pointment. There are very few law
yers here, however, who express a pre-
ference for ex.JudZe Fisher, ,and will work
to secure his appointment. The same
condition Of affairs exists in
Kent county, Mr.. Fishers home
The bar there, according to the
statement of one Of Its leading members
un Saturday, is divided on the question
of the appointment and the same au-
thority states that Mr.. Spruauce will
have strong delegation OF the most in
fluential attorneys of that county as his
supporters.
One of Judge Fishers friends In this
city states that his chance of being ap
pointed depends upon what part Senator
Baysrd takes in the matter. He states
tlst II the senator opposes his appoint
ment and will fight his confirmation it ia
not probable that the President will send
his lame to the Senate, lest the appoint.
ment might not be confirmed. Mr..
Fishers friends in the contest are oppos-
ing Mr.. Spruanoe on the ground that his
record IS a Republican is not straight
enough to suit them.
Those advocating Mr.. Spruance's ap.
pointment contend that Mr.. Fisher, being
66 years old, is too far advanced in years,
as the Federal government endeavors to
retire Its judges at 10 years of age, and
that Mr.. Spruance is by tar the best fitted
man Cor the place. There is also report
current here, which is generally credited,
to the feet that II Mr.. Fisher is appointed
and confirmed he will endeavor to have
the sittings Of the United States court
changed from this city to Dover, where
there is also Federal court room which
has hitherto remained unused.
There Is decided feeling here that
Mr.. Spruance will receive the appoint
ment and confirmation. The work of
securing letters and signatures to Pc
ttions will be rapidly pushed forward,
and in day or two, probably morrow,
delegations in the interest of each
aspirant will 60 to Washington.
