WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The political
assassination of Hon. Milo White is re-
GREETED by his many friends here. He is a
quiet and unObtruSive, but diligent and con-
scientious servant of his people, and his
taking off was therefore the more daStardly.
Mr.. White resided on Sixth street here, in
modest clearinghouse short distance
from the capitol. He was seldom seen in
cab or hired conveyance Of any kind, but
walked to his daily duties as plain and dig
nified unpretentiOuS gentleman. 1t IS not
likely that the Democrats would have NOM
mated any man in the First district who
could have successfully competed with Mr.
White for the seat which he now honorS.
The best men in the Republican party
would have worked for him as earnestly as
Joe Wagner of Rochester did in 1884.
Wagner lett his music business entirely
and spent his entire time and

for Mr.. Whites election. There are others
there now, who so highly appreciate the
work of Mr. White that they have said
that they would do the same thing in this
campaign. But, alas. they are not to have
an opportunity. Will they pull off their
coats and work for the success of ticket
which bears the name of a man in whom
they have no confidence? VIII they work
for a ticket which carries at its head the
name of him to whom they are indebted fer

the reader must judge. He disrupted the
Republican party in his district and then
disrupted it in the state. He succeeded in
causing the defeat OF William Window. but

Having dgged his own grave and the peO-
pie having done him the honor to erect
Milo White over his remains as pure mon
ument. he rises from his tomb and over
/ throws the monument OF purity which the
DeODle had set up. That tells the whole
story. The real representative Republic
cans of the First district wanted to con-
| tinue honest Milo White in congress. The
| DunnelI trcksterS determined that it should
not be. Now be it known that Milo White
was elected last time by
MAJORITY OF THREE THOUSAND
over Biermann; but that was not Re
publican majority. 1t represented the
amount of superior personal popularity of
Mr.. White. 1t represented the self-abne-
CATION and active work of WAGNER and
others. 1t represented a number of ele-
meuts which will not be heard of in the
coming campaign. No Republican can
succeed Milo White, under the deep dam
nation OF his taking off. Circumstances
alter cases, and the counting of the bal
lots this year will show such an alteration
of the popular will that will cause the rem
egade Republicans who participated in the
downfall of Mr.. White to roar with rage at
themselves for their asininity and political
criminality in the taking off of the honora-
BILE gentlemen who now represents the First
district. Nothing short of inexcusabIe
apathy can cause the defeat of the Demo-
cratic candidate.
