TIE warmth of affection felt by the
Democratic leaders for the colored man
is beautiful to behold. The latest exhi>
bition of it is in the case of Matthews,
nominated by the President for the Of
flee held oy Fred Douglass. Matthews
is colored man. A dozen white Demo-
Gratis wanted the Office. The Senate
Committee on the District of Columbia,
to whom the nomination was referred,
have reported it adversely, the vote be-
ing a tie. The affirmative votes were
three Republicans and one Democrat.
The negative votes were three Demo
Gratis and the Readjuster Riddleberger.
The death of Senator Miller, of Califor-
MIA, made the committee tie, and will
probably lead to Matthews rejection for
the Office. The colored man is good
enough to vote the Democratic ticket,
but hardly good enough to get paying
office that any white Democrat wants.
The paying offices that white Democrats
don want for themselves are very scarce
up to date.

Fashions for the Fair Ones.

Satin and watered ribbons are revived
on spring dresses.
Embroidered stripes are the high now
city in white muslin dresses.
Dark blue sateen frocks are frightened
with sash ribbons of red satin.
Bonnets of straw, wooden stuff, can
vas, silk, velvet, plush, and brooches of
various kinds are all in vogue.
Very light wool. light colored fabrics,
minutely striped or checked are used for
the first spring wraps to be worn in April
or May.
Stripes, bars and blocks of frise and
boucle threads are seen on some Of the
new white muslins, and also on the tint
ed chambrays and zephyrs.
One of the new spring hat shapes, and
very popular one, has very large half
conical crown, with brim that falls
straight almost over the nape of the neck
in the back. flares up over the left ear
and forehead. and droops over the right
ear. This hat is far more becoming than
night be supposed from the description.

CREMATION not a sanitary necessity
was the proposition of DIR. Frank II.
Hamilton, of New York, in a paper read
recently. He admitted that anyone who
desires should be allowed to be cremat-
ed, but contended there should be no en-.
forcement by law in that direction.
There is no danger from an exposed dead
body, he argued. The keeper of the
mOrgue there, who held the Office for 10
years, never saw a sick day. Nearly
5000 bodies go to the morgue every year.
Nothing is done to preserve them. They
are all in stages of putrefaction. There
is no record of single case of sickness
resulting from this exposure of bodies.
As fact, from actual a.,alysis, there
are less disease germs in the air of the
morgue and dead house than in the Os-
borne Ward in Bellevue, where there is
every precaution taken against their de,
velOpment. These relations Dr. Hamil-
ton did not believe were changed by
burying body. The gases generated
from decaying body are carbonic acid
sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia
These cease to form after two months
The earth changes the identity of the
gases, renders them harmless, and it i:
doubtful if they could filter through six
feet of ground. A large number OF
bodies in a vault might be dangerous. b,
impregnating water and air in the neigh
borhOod. In ordinary burial grounds
where bodies are put in singly, there
! can be no danger.

Mr.. E. H. PINNEY, a sealer at the San
Francisco Custom House, has just been
discharged. There is Ruthing known
against him except that he was fourteen
months in AnderSonville Prison. In
some respects this administration fa-
vOrs officials who have served terms in
prison, even going to the extent of ap
pointing persons to Office who have
been pardoned from some penitentiary
or another. But it seems that there is a
line drawn at Andersenville and Lib

Corroborative of this proven result,
the committee submits the following
statistical facts:-
Hoadly's majority, 1888, 1889; Fora
ker's majority, 1885, 17,451, change of
rs, $50, equal to four per cent. of the to-
tai vote in 1885 of 1895.
In 1888 the total vote of Hamilton
county was 6O,832; majority for Hoadly,
2.531; majority for Hoadly ia 1885 was
AIS, cha: ge of 2,O52, or over three per
cent.
Deducting the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth,
Eighteenth and Nineteenth wards, in
which most of the frauds were perpetra-
ted, there was change in favor of the
Republicans of 4,70S, on a vote of 59,316,
which is equal to per cent; while in
the five wards named there was change
in favor of the Democrats of 1852 in a
vote of II 1862, which is over "a per cent.
which indicates fraud of not less than
1862 in those wards.
If we claim that at fair election
these wards would have indicated the
same change as the balance of the city.
then the fraud would be fixed at 90S
more, or $3.50. This. it will be observed.
does not include the proven frauds of
the Fifth, Seventh, or Ninth wards,
which would swell the number to about

By either of these processes the cons
mittee finds itself led to the same inev
liable conclusion, so tersely stated in the
testimony of Hon. |. J. Miller, the hon.
ored president of the nOn-partisan Com>
mittee of One Hundred, that NO person
on the Democratic ticket was elected by
some thousands"
At the commencement of the work Of
investigation by this committee, it was
claimed that there were frauds on both
sides, and it was thought that this claim
would be found true. 1t is true that be-
fore the commencement of this invests

This disposal of the case is clearly
warranted by the law, and in order that
the officials, who are cOnspiratOrs against
honest elections, may be prevented from
changing by fraud the results of elec-
tiOns, and those who would take title to
Office by the use of such Instrumental
ties be prevented from enjoying the usu-
fruct of crime, snch contaminated re-
turns should, in all cases, be treated as
null and void. Such disposition of the
case is eminently just. and for prudent
ial reasons should be sanctioned and ap-
proved by this House of Representatives,
but is not urged by your committee be-
cause thought to be necessary to a prop
er and fair disposal of the matter. The
frauds. clearly established by the testi-
mony, warrant your committee in the
statement that, by reason of loss to the
Republican ticket in switching or chang
ing tickets, refusal to receive legal votes,
abstraction of tickets from the boxes or
from the tables during the count, and
by reason of fraudulent Democratic
votes received, tickets put in the boxes
during the election, anG the count of
votes, and base frauds in making the re-
turns, the result of that election was
changed in favor of the Democratic can
didates for Representative as follows:

RYSDIK'S HAMBLETONIAN.
The Early History of this Great StaI
lion.

Mr.. W. NJ. Vail told group of Port
Jervis horsemen about the origin of the
Hambletonian trotters the other day,
and an interesting story it is as report
ed in the Union of that village. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Vail the Hambletonian
stock came from running horses, nota
bly, from the Abdallah's. which were
bred around Goshen and Chester for
years. The Black Hawks, Stars, and
Clays we're favorites thereabout for
years. The Hambletonians were not
great trotters at first. Although some
what speedy, and OF fine physique, horse
men did not take kindly to them.
In 1858 the Kentucky breeders and
racers heard of the Hambletonians,
They wanted to cross the stock with
their great racers. They come to Go
shen. Old man Rysdik had the original
HambletOniaR then, and son known as
the Edsall horse was owned by Seeley
Edsall of the Occidental Hotel at Got
shen. Father and son were both young.
after looking around for some time, the
Kentuckians bought the Edsall horse
for about S3,OOO This was considered
an enormous price for horse.
This was just before the war. About
1860 a or 4 year old Hambletonian got
into the hands of jockeys at Coney ISL
and. The horse was called Fillingham,
and afterward George Wilkes. He made
2 2:26. the best time then on record. Inn
mediately everybody wanted HambletO
nian stock. The horse was son of the
Edsall horse.
Said Mr.. Vail: Robert Bonner of the
Ledger Was then. as now, a great admi-
rer of horsehesh. He owned Lady Pail
mer of Star stock lie came up to Co.
shen and said to me: 1 wish you would
buy Old Hambletonian for me. l don't
want to go myself A man named
Horton and l undertook the job. We saw
Mr. Rysdik. He said he considered his
stallion worth as much as any stallion
in the world. Patchen had just been
sold for $4,000, and Rysdik finally said
he would take S25,0OO for his horse. !
was empowered to offer him $4,000. He
refused it. His wife was in a terrible
state of mind. Rysdik was poor, had a
mortgage against bis farm, and needed
the money. aud his wife begged him to
accept the offer. He wanted "a hours
to think it over in.
"The next day we returned to Rysdik's.
He and his wife were walking the floor.
Neither had slept wink that night. /
never saw people in such a state of men,
tai distress. He refused to take a cent
less than S25.OoO; could give him but
$4,000. Well said, that settles it.
And it did. The woman was in hystert
les, and both were almost beside them
selves.
Bonner returned to New York with
out old Hambletonian. Rysdik went
into the market with the animal, which
earned $4,000 the first year, and in ten
years had earned 100000.
After the war parties went to Ken
lucky to get the Edsall horse. They
raked the State over, but never found
him. 1t is said that the guerrilla Nor.
gan had the animal, and it was probably
killed in the war"

Mr.. l. j. MILLER, chairman of the
Committee of One Hundred, in letter
addressed to the common pleas court of
Hamilton county, o., asks for the i'm
paneling of a special grand jury to hear
evidence from the committee of offenses
committed by city and county officers.
The committee also requests the ap-
pointment by court of counsel to be
named by the committee and approved
by the court, for the immediate trial of
cases now pending, the committee agree
ing to bear the entire expense for coun'
sci. The idea is to bring offenders to

Two BALES of cotton, raised in 1862.
were sold last week in Rock Hill, 5. C.
They were part of a stock that was
stored by the owner for an improved
market He was offered so cents a
pound for it twenty years ago. but he
held on on until at last, when prices
were lower than since the war, he let it
go at 81 cents pound. 1t is thought
to be the only cotton in existence that
was raised by Southern slave labor.

The throwing out of these precincts,
alone, would make a change of 1902 in
favor of the OnteStants-enough to elect
all of them; but the rule of law is that
when returns are thrown out, the parties
claiming under them must rely on proof
as to the number of votes received, and
this right was brought to the attention
of all candidates. but, for some reason
not known to the committee, the con-

after such search, they are forced to the
