SINCERE IN
Washington, Special Telegram, Jan. A.
Elk. Delegate John b. Raymond of Dakota,
who died at Fargo, had a great many
friends in Washington as he has spent
nearly hall his time here during the last
eight or ten years. After he left Mississippi
in 1876, he camot TO Washington to live, and
WAS appointed United States marshal OF Da-
kota through the influence OF 7. NJ Morton,
Secretary Chandler, Gen. Butler, Gen. Lo.
gan and others who have known OF his la
bors and sufferings in behalf of ~stalwart
ltepublicanism in the south when 1t cost
something to live there. Mr.. Raymond,
although an uneompromising Republican,
;iever lost the esteem and confidence OF the
Democrats Of Mississippi, and several
gentlemen from that stats express their sor'
row at his death. Last spring Mis-.
Raymond, who had l,eca an invalid
Tor years, died in this city under IA surgical
operation, and her two little daughters,
ngod FIVE and seven, have since been N
charge Of Mrs. Senator Sabin, who will
now probably adopt them, as Mr.. Ray
mond left no relatives who would care to

to newspaper men in Washington,
lie was always fun OF information or cur
rent affairs, and his means OF gaining in
! telligcnce Of Forthcoming action in tie de-
p%artments was most systematic and trust,
worthy. lie never failed to do all he could
for the newspaper man whom he believed
in, and many n time rendered service that
cannot be forgotten. When he eft Wash
ingtUn last spring he was very desponJent.
The death of his wife a few weeks previous
had been n very severe blow TO him. They
had spent n most happy winter at theil
beautiful home here, surrounded by thnil
pretty children. Mrs. Raymond's dealt
was inexpressibly sad, She expected IL
and against her husbands most earnest
hope, predicted Il. Nal Raymond, th'
night before hs leit lor fargo, said he had
little 10 hope or work for in life. II,
