Jared A committee at once waited
on Gen. Lowry and notified him Of
his nomination, and invited him to
address the Convention. This he did
in a short speeclfaccepting the NOM
nation as the choice Of the Con
vention and not as the nominee of
caucus, thanking the Convention for
the honor it had conferred upon him,
making no slusion TO the factional is
sues which had previously divided its
members, and only pledging himself
to do all within his power to bear
the party banner to victory, which
pledge he afterward fully redeemed
But how about the caucus men
who had yelled themselves hoarsc
against the THIRD TERM issue, and
which up to this time been held up
as q more monstrous buggaboo, If
possible, than the Lowry critics are
now making of the second term :!
Why, next morning every mothers
son of EN- walked up without so much
as a murmur and cast his vote for
w. l.. Hemingway for Treasurer,
the only real THIRD TERM candidate
before the Convention, thereby com
pletcly repudisting the "principle
and Democratic usage" over which
they had contended and perspired for
three long August days preceding
AS to the platform on which Gen.
Tucker had pledged his candidate
to stand, it was adopted later, and
contained not sentence about one,
two or three terms. neither q word
concerning an elective judiciary.
Again, as to the elective judiciary,
let it be borne in mind in the frs,
place, that the judges can be made
elective only by change in the
, Constitution, which must first be
amended by a two-third vote of the
| Legislature, and such amendment
ratified by majority o: the people
at the polls Gov Lowry is pretty
able man, it is true, but he hasn't
the capacity to perform the tune
tons of Chief Executive, Legislature
and people too, as his critics seem
endeavoring to have their readers
believe. Furthermore, during the
canvass two years ago the subject
OF an elective judiciary was discus
sed from Alpha to Omega by press,
candidates and people, and then
when the Legislature met, it wisely
decided that neither the public pulse
nor sound public policy, really called
for an elective judiciary. A great
many of the men, too, who stood
with Tucker on the day he enunci
ated the new ISSUE had discussed
the question until their better judg-
ment brought them ont on the otlt-
err side f; whilst other same have
since sought to be APPOINTED judges
and failed, which latter fact, no
doubt, accounts for a large amount
Of 1.-The milk in the coacoa-nut," or,
in other words, the great clatter a
few are making about Lowry's hav
ing been recreant to his pledges.
This is briefly the whole story.
Let the intelligent reader decide for
himself wherein the Governor has
"acted in bad faith" or would do SO
if he should accept a denomination

The District Commissioners yesterday de-
'cided to make the following changes in the

northeast; G street. between First and an
alley Grace street, West Washington;
twenty-one-inch sewer, G street, between

These sewers will be replaced by 12-iuch

AuEuioyabIe Church socIable.

The Assembly's Church congregation
held their monthly social last evening un-
der difficulties. When the people began to
arrive at the church it was found that by
some oversight there was no fire and no
lights. But as the Assembly's pastor aud
people believe in the final perseverance, of
the saints, they all went to work with a
will, and soon had the fires burning in the
bers, and under the softening and benign iu-
fiuence Of hot coffee and appetizing edibles
furnished by the ladies of the church, the
occasion was made one of unalloyed ENJOY
ment. There is nothing little about the
Assembly's Church but Its pastor, aud
there is nothing little about him but his
name and what is there in a name?

During the month of December there were
1866 deaths in the District Of Columbia. Of
this number Ill were white males, n
white females, SO colored males and 95 col
ored females. This gives death-rate of
1926 per 1000 per annum for the whites,
3065 for the colored and 21.90 for the total
population. This compares favorably with
the mean death-rate Of December for the
past ten years, being lower by 1.29 for the
whites, .59 for the colored and 1.75 for the
total population. 1t also compares still
moro favorably with the same month of the
previous year, as in December Of 1883 there
were 66 more white deaths and 35 more
colored deaths than during the present
month.

what the Reporiers' gallery Wants

The members of the reporters gallery of
the House the other day presented to the
House Appropriations Committee petition
--signed by every habitue Of the gallery
for an increase In the salary of Mr.. Charles
II. Mann who looks out so we'll for their in
terests. The petition villas it doubtless
should-receive the favorable considera-
tion of the committee. Mr.. Mann does
more work than is accomplished by the
gentleman who occupies similar position
on the Senate side and receives less sal
ary. This should not be the case. The Pc
tition was referred to subcommittee, con-
sistiDg of Messrs. Holman, Hancock and
Cannon. That subcommittee will report
favorably-or it should make such report.
When the gallery is unanimous in mat :
ter of this kind, its recommendation is Gu
titled to favorable consideration. 1t has
asked for but few things and never for any
thing that was not within reason.
