The Rivals.


washington letter TO Cleveland Leader
Randall reminds one of a pugilist. He has
heavy jaw, bulldog expression, and he
strikes straight from the shoulder. Morri-
son is a diplomat. He walks around like a
cat with his soft felt hat pulled down over
his eyes. He gives yeu his hearty shake of
the hand and his friendly and seemingly hon
est eye smiles for everyone. He works in
secret. He likes to tell good stories, and he
avails more in a social crowd than ON the
floor of the house. Each of Morrison friends
think Morrison cares more for him than he
does for any other friend, or even for him
self, and Morrison makes as few ene-
mics as Randall does friends. Morrison ap-
preciates the fact that he is poor speaker
He is i'll at ease upon the floor, and looks
like schoolboy making his first declama-
ton Randall is never more at home than
when engaged in a fight before the House
He stands straight up and looks over his OPP
ponents with an expression of conscious
power. He never quails, never shows any
emotion, and hangs to his purposes like the
bulldog from whom his soul evidently came
by transmigration. Randal's training as
knocker among the boys in Philadelphia in
early life shows in his conduct after a score
of years of congressional service.

The Street Railroad Imposition.

To the Editor Of the Press,
Speaking for myself and many others
whom l have heard complain bitterly, wish
to protest against the Portland Street Rail
road Company being allowed to keep their
tracks on Congress street cleared Of snow
When the snow has fallen to the depth it
now has, the clearing it from their tracks, as
they have the last three days, virtually spoils
the street for sleighing and jeopardizes pub
lie safety. In the present condition of
things it is almost impossible for those rid
ing in sleighs to turn out without one or
both runners going inside Of the rails, to the
great danger of either breaking the runners
or tipping over the sleigh. Moreover, the
rails being so very smooth and frosty, horses
slip on them easily to the risk of falling,
sustaining severe injuries, or being fright
ened into a runaway. Let us hope that this
shameful imposition and source of danger
will not be tolerated another day. If the
city authorities will not protect the citizens,
it is time for citizens to protect themselves.

caused by the flood among the poor people in

OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Gov. Foraker Delivers His inaugural
Address.
a scathlng Denunciation of Election
Crimes in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 11.-Governor Fora
ker, in his inaugural address to the Senate
and House of Representatives denounced in
the most scathing terms the outrages perpe-
trated at the late elections, and demanded
such action from their hands as would vir-
tually prevent further corrupt practices He
said:
There is nothing more important than the ballot.
1t goes before everything else. Government rests
upon it, and its character is determined by it. We
have no other sovereign III power or ex-
political crime than its suppression
or corruption There is but one equal
crime, and that is indifference to such outrage
law. There never was greater need than row Tor
this to be remembered by the legislative body OF
this State. Evil is always contagious. Ii permit
ted TO succeed in one place its tendency is to
quickly spread to all places. Accordingly, the
question of free ballot and fair count until re-
Gently unknown in the United States, has become
a living issue in Ohio. The outrageS perpetrated
at our elections in 1884 were not the first OF these
offences, but they are mentioned because they
had one good effect. They aroused sense OF du-
ty that secured the enactment OF registration
law applicable to the cities OF Cincinnati and
Cleveland 1t was hoped that this measure would
prevent these evils, but we have been dsapp0nt-
ed. The additional safeguards thus thrown about
the elective franchise seemed only to widen the
range, increase the determination and quicken
the Ingenuity of this class of criminals AS con-
sequence we have witnessed not only false voting
and false counting, but also false rcglstrttlons
false tallies false certificates, false returns, and
every other species of falsehood and fraud and
forgery No such bold, bare faced villainy has
been known in the history of our elections as CON
fessedly was practiced at last 0ctober's elections
in the cities of Cincinnati and Columbus.
If there is anything worse than the fact that the
scoundrels who perpetrated it are unpunished and
likely to remain so, it is that there should appear
to be no judicial power to prevent the consumma-
tion of their iniquities If it be true that laws
are such that the canvassing officer is compelled,
or can elect to give effect to evident and acknowl-
all authority of the courts then indeed is there
need to change the laws. Such an official should
be more than mere automaton and considerably
come to put stop to such troubles and the peO-
pie of the State, without regard to political differ
ences, expect at your hands such legislation as
will have this effect

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Intelligence has been

A force of men was landed at Upolu from

Annual Meeting OF the Monument
Association.
Interesting Remarks by Prominent
Portland Men.
The Annual Reports and Election of
Officers.

Reception Hall was well filed last evening
when the annual meeting Of the Portland
Soldiers and Sailors Monument Association
came to order at the call of the President,
General John Marshall Brown. A number
OF the lady members of the society testified
to their interest in the work by their pres
ence at the meeting.
The report of the last annual meeting was
read by Major Charles w. Roberts, Record
ing Secretary, and accepted. The Secretary
then read the report of the executive COM
mittee. The committee refer to the action of
the society charging them with the duty of
petitioning the City Council for permission
to erect the monument III Market Square,
and incorporate into their report the circular
issued on June 20, 1885. The circular recites
the fact that the committee petitioned the
City Council in accordance with the instruc-
tions of the association, and hearing was
granted, at which so much opposition was
developed that the committee deemed it adj
visable not to press the matter at the time.
The circular also touches upon the desir-
ability of the site. The committee in their
report renew their recommendation of Mar
ket Square as the best site for the monu-
ment.
Designs have been received from Preston
Fl. Powers, NJ. Fl. Mossman, Moffatt &
Doyle, Hallowell Granite Company, Lunt
Thompson and Clarence S. Luce.
The membership of the association has not
changed during the year, and is 2,S9S, with

accepted.
