THE TELEPHONE CONTENTION.


COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 24-The bill of
complaint in the suits brought by the gov
ernment to annul the Bell telephone pat
ents allege that certain letters patent
issued to Alexander Graham Bell, dated
March :, 1876 numbered ia, 4G5, were ille-
gally and improperly procured to be issued
by reason of certain facts thereafter more
fully set forth, and that although up to the
time of issuing said patent Bell had never
been in fact able to transmit articulate
speech by the method or with the appara-
tus described in his application, he pur-
posely framed his application and claim in
broad and general terms, in order to cover
both antecedent and future inventions and
to deceive the examiners of the patent
Office and the public did not set forth
that his alleged invention had any rela-
tiOns to the art of transmitting articulate
speech by means of electricity, but entitled
il an application for an improvement in
telegraphy; made Il special reference to
the recent application made by himself
tor IA method of multiple telesraphy
treated his alleged new invention as AN
other method thereof and set forth the
advantages which ii had over the others,
but did not include or mention its capac-
ity, or claim for any capacity, to transmit
speech, Then follows multitude of allie
cations in the same general direction, and
others citing previous applications by
other persons covering the principles in
yolVed. The bill closes with voluminous
prayer for the annulment of the patent.

Ter, candidates for Congress, addressed
large crowd at Conway Hall yester-
day afternoon.
Judge Butler opened the discussion.
He did not seem to be- in good trim
and lost his temper at times, in fact
his effort fell far below our expecta-
tions. He discussed the Blair bill at
length, declaring that under its pro-
visions Sullivan county would draw
about $11,111 yearly, that nineteen
Democratic Senators voted for the bill,
including Lamar and Garland Of
Clevelands Cabinet, and that the op-
position to it in Tennessee was owing
to the leadership of Senator Isham G
Harris. He abused the "dirty littl'
country papers," made an intemperat'
attack on the Bristol Courier, reitefat
ed his well known friendship for Bris
tol, and closed by praising the "rob
Der tariff"
i Col. White declared for tariff 10
revenue, and expressed approval Q

and the money was turned over t
State control, if it did not sanctio

surplus left after the public debt wa

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 2, 1S06.-Colo-
mel Robert G. Ingersoll has been in
this city to-day on railroad business
At the Boody House tonight he was
asked :--"Who, in your opinion, is the |
strongest man in the republican party
to run for President in 1882
"No one can answer this question
with certainty" he said. "Mr. Sher-
man will tell you that the strongest
man lives at Mansfield, Ohio, and Mr..
Blaine will insist that the only man
with any chance of success lives at
Augusta, Me. Logan probably thinks
that the coming man will hail from
Illinois. Allison thinks that he lives
further West and Evarts has a faint
suspicion that the next President is
now a Senator from New York. Ed
munds says Vermont will furnish the
candidate. You see that there are so
many opinions that it is hard for a
man not gifted with the spirit Of
prophecy to make even a good guess
The probability is that new man
will be nominated. AS Lincoln said,
1T is hard to shoot twice with the
same powder This very question
shows the state of the public mind, the
question is not as TO what policy is to
be pursued, what great reform is to be
inaugurated, but what man is to be the
President. Most anybody can perform
the routine duties of the Presidency
and consequently it is not very impor
