More About Justice Vincent.

WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. l6-When
Chief Justice Vincent, of New Mexico, was
summarily displaced the impression pre-
vailed at Washington that the moving
cause of the presidents action was the ap-
pointment of ex-senator Dorsey on the
board of jury commissioners, it being be-
leved he was interested in certain causes
pending OF to come before Judge Vincent's
court. Subsequently, however, it came to be
understood in a general way that the Dorsey
affair was the pretext and not the primary
cause of Judge Vincent's removal 1t su-
pervenes that the authorities have been in
vestigating certain land transactions occur
ing in New Mexico, and have gotten at the
bottom facts which will lead to an investi-
cation by congress at the ensuing session.
1t is stated on good authority that this in
vestigation will reveal certain transactions
of startling character, inculpating several
present msmbers of that body, and like wise
a member Of President Arthur's cabinet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 16-Ex-Sena.
tor William Sharon died at 80 Friday aft
ernoon. after lingering illness.
He first complained of feeling unwell
about month ago. A week ago he was
suddenly taken worse, and physicians and
lawyers were hurriedly sent for. For the
twenty-four hours following he absolutely
refused to pay any attention tomthe
doctors ORDERS but devoted all
his time to arranging his worldly affairs
His power Of will seems to have been his
sole means of subsistence, for since the mo.
ment he was taken ill he has been unable to
receive nourishment Of any kind, except
what has been administered to him in the
influence of ether he would i'm
agine himself on ,change. and
would cry out, "Who'u take hundred
sharesl" Fancying he heard response, he
would continue: Hundred sold twelve
sixty, buyers3 all right; sellerss all right.
Who'll take another hundred?" Occasion
ally he would glance at the doctors with a
sort of quizzical look, as if to say: II am a
puzzle to you, amt II"
Ex-senator William Sharon was born on
a farm at Smithtield, Ohio, Jan. 9, 1921.
At 20 he entered Athens college, where he
made a respectable showing. He tn en-
studied law with the late Secretary STAN
ton. and in 1916 was admitted to tine bar in
st. Louis. Failing health forced him to re-
linquish his profession, and he next set up as
a storekeeper at Carrollton, Ills. At the out
break of the gold fever in ~ he was one of
the first to cross the plains. He opened
store at Sacramento, but soon went to San
Francisco, where he opened real estate
Office. This he ran with fuctuating success
for fourteen years, when he met William G.
Ralston, then manager of the Bank of San
Francisco and at the zenith of his fame.
Sharon soon became Ralston's confidential
man at the mines, where he laid the founda-
tion of his afterward colossal fortune.
Sharon was among the first to learn of
the rich find in the Crown Point and
Belcher mines. During the wild excitement
which prevailed in San Francisco in 1872,
when it became known that these mines, as
well as the Raymond and Ely, had panned
out rich, he was ono of those who sold at
the top of the market and is said to have
cleared S150O0,o in gold within five
months. In 1875 Mr.. Sharon built the Palace
hotel for Mr.. Warren Leland who ran
the house for three years. In
1877 he purchased his magnificent
residence at Belmont, where in 1879 he en-
tertained Gen. Grant after his return from
his historic trip around the world In 1875
he was elected senator from Nevada to sue
ceed William M. Ste wart Nevada's first
representative in the senate In the senate
Mr.. Sharon was chiefly known for his alb
sences. At the expiration Of his term in
1881 he was candidate for reelection, but
was defeated by James g. Fair, a Democrat

WASHINGTON CITY NEWS.
sheridan's Report on the Soldiers Hon

Sheridan's Report on the Soldiers Home.
WASHINGTON CITY. Nov. 16-Gen. Sher
idan, in his report on the soldiers home,
says there has been a very great increase III
drunkenness among the inmates during the
year, the cause for which is laid at the
door of the existing law for the disposition
of the pension money Of inmates.
About tenth of the pensioners assign
their pension to relatives. The other nine
tenths, on whose account more than $40, 600
is paid quarterly to the treasurer Of the
home, are permitted to draw small sums
from time to time, while the larger portion
remains undrawn SO long as they con-
tinue to be inmates of the home. This
fund, the report says, becomes good
basis for credit at grog-shops and is a con-
stant temptation to those who are easily in
fiuenced, and in many instances no doubt
the possession of the money which must be
given up to the pensioner when he is dis.
charged becomes the sole object in leaving
the home. In a few days the money is
squandered and the commissioners are asked
to admit destitute old soldier to the bene-
fits of the home

Vote the Ticket Straight.

Said Republican orator at the late coun-
ty convention-''We have now nominated
our ticket. If Republicans will stand Shout
der to shoulder and give it united and cordial
support, and enough Democratic votes can
be gotten, success will be assured" That
orator spoke well. He stated the situation
exactly. A full Republican vote, aided by a
sufficient number of Democratic votes, would
elect the Republican ticket. If the Repubi-
cans are successful, it must be by the aid of
Democratic votes, because they are in the
minority by three or four hundred. Demo
Gratis, will you aid in turning the county and
state over to Republican control by voting
any part of the Republican ticket? VIII You
aid iE electing a Republican United States
Senator? If not, vote your ticket just as it
was nominated. Don't trade or vote for any
Republican candidate as mere matter OF
compliment.

The Ohio Election.

Although the returns from the election in
Ohio on Tuesday are still incomplete, the in
dications are that the Republicans have elect
ed their state ticket by apI,Tality, not mqjori-
ty, and have majority on joint ballot in the
Legislature. This is quite a come down,
however, from the 81, 200 majority given for
Blaine last year, and it is quite a victory for
the Democrats to put such stalwart Repub-
lican state as Ohio in the balances.
The Republican party was fighting for its
national existence, and Senator Sherman was
battling for his political life. Had he failed
to secure u Republican majority in the Legis-
lature, and Hoadley been elected, he would
have been retired from the Senate and his
name would have fallen out from the list of
Presidential candidates for 1888. 1t was the
life of the Republican party, then, that was
at stake, and the political existence of Senator
Sherman in addition; besides, the Republi
cans were fighting for control of the Senate,
and yet they narrowly escaped defeat.

Republican Mass Meeting.

The Republican 'mass" meeting at the
Court House on Wednesday night cannot be
counted success. The audience was not
large, Democrats attracted out of curiosity
and small boys comprising fully one-third of
the number present. There were several
reasons for this-frst the notice was short
second, the weather was not very favorable;
and third, the citizens of Westminster care
little for political meetings, except when elo-
quent speakers of reputation are to address
them.
After some vigorous work by the West
minister Band, to attract crowd, three-quar-
tiers of an hour after the appointed time the
meeting was called together by Chairman
Seabrook of the central committee, who nomi-
mated Mr.. VIM. A. Wampler for president of
the meeting. A vice president for each dis
trict was announced, all but two of whom were
conspicuous by their absence. Mr.. Marine,
the candidate for Clerk of the Court of APP
peals, was also absent.
Mr.. Francis Miller, of Montgomery county
and Washington, D. c., candidate for Comp
troller, was on hand, and spoke, referring
first to the small number present. Just what
else he said is not matter of much impor
lance. He is not likely to do his party any
good or the opposition any harm. He is en-
titled to credit for doing what he conceives to
be his duty to his party, in stumping the
State, and is no doubt conscientious in all
that he says. What he doesn't know about
Maryland State affairs, however, comprises
almost all facts relating to the state government
for some years past. One point he made,
which he thought would have telling effect
on his audience, was that $4,000 was paid
to the Democratic press of Maryland for pub
fishing the laws His knowledge was very
limited. He did not know Tor at least he did
not say that the act authorizing the publica-
ton of the laws was passed when the Repub-
Hcan party ruled in Maryland, nor did he tell
his audience that the law was repealed by a
Democratic Legislature in 1882. He was not
posted on the amounts paid to the different
papers, although he essayed to give figures,
nor was he correct in what he said about the
acts being furnished in supplement form from
Annapolis. Neither did he know that he was
counter to the sentiments of the Re-
publican organ of this county, which has
fully endorsed within brief period, the pub
