He Answers the Structures on His Con.
duct by Ohio Democrats.
Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
COLUMBUS, O., May 2S.-Cierk Vallandingham
writes lengthy card in his own defense, and
strikes back at the absconding senators,
who are endeavoring to place upon
his shoulders the responsibility of losing
the senate, and all that followed the
absence of the democratic membesr. MIR.
Vallandingham says man could have done
more for his party in January last than did
On one occasion undertook to follow a rule OF
the senate made by the democratic majority at
the oesi inning OF the session, and for doing so
received condemnation from all parties. My
democratic friends were the first to abandon me
and the quickest to condemn"
Nallandinghan then goes on to say that he
was not invited to the democratic caucuses
held just prior to May 9th, the date xed for the
consideration OF the report OF the special ''non-
partisan committee, which Investigated the
Cincinnati frauds. He regarded this want OF
confidence In him by the democratic Senators
as causeiess. He knew nothing of tie plans of
the senators until they had left the CITY. When
the republican contestants from Hamilton
county were sworn in, Vallandigham says he
had no choice but to do as the law directs-keep
claim that he should have entered on the journal
the fact that there was no quorum present ON
that eventfuI Saturday he pronounces absurd.
AS to the stealing OF the senate journal, he says
he did only his duty, and what every honorable
man would do when he supplied Its place as
best he could. Mr.. Valiandingham declares
that the theft was "a disgrace to the state of
that he made any bargains with the republic.

GLOOMY Predictions by Joseph COWen-
Home Rule far from Settlement.
LONDON. May 28.-Mr. Joseph Cowen. radical
member of parliament for New Castle-on-Tyne,
publishes q letter IN the New Castle Chronicle,
in which he says: The dissentients, consciously
or uncOnsciously, have said goodbye to the
liberal party. The home rule question is not
settled. Years will be spent over this fight.
Political animOsities will grow and tester, lead
Ing TO complete recasting of party lines. The
prospect for the liberals Is not hopeful.
The Times says: Mr.. Gladstone would find It
as difficult to enumerate affairs specially Irish
as he confessed IL would he in his original state
ment with respect to imperial affairs. He had
nothing yesterday to say about Ulster or objec.
tions to the financial scheme OF the bill.

The conference report on the free bridge bin

signed by the conierees and Is ready for presen-

Arlington. While il H. obvious and proper that
the bridge, when constructed. shall he used by
the public generally and be a benefit, It is con-
