THE VOTE FOR WHITE.

The Causes That Moved the Democrats-The
Case OF Congressman Crisp.
Special TO the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-A great deal of sur
prise was expressed over the majority for Cap
tain White in the contested election case on
Monday. Everybody knew that he would be
confirmed in his title to his seat but few expect
cd that he would receive large majority.
There liz no doubt that there was more politics
in this matter than at first supposed. The
Democrats knew that if White should be unseat-
ed on the fimsy charge brought against him
that IL would be disastrous in the coming cleo
tions They felt that the whole naturaized
vote OF the United States would be indignant,
and that they would lose q great many foreign
born voters account of their opposition to q
man who was so clearly elected to a seat in Con-
gress. IL is noticeable that every natural
lied Democratic member OF Congress voted for
Mr.. White, and that nearly every Irish-American
member followed the same course. In this con-
necsion attention has been called to the of
MIR. Crisp, the chairman Of the elections COM
mittee, who led the fight against Captain White.
Crisp is q Georgian, but he was born IN England
during the visit of his parents to that country
The fact that his parents were Americans made
il unnecessary for him to take out naturaiza-
tion papers. IT he should be asked TO prove his
citzenshlp he would, probably, have great dim
Guilty in doing so. In order to show that he is a
citizen of the United States. that is II the same
test was to be applied 70 him as he desired to
apply to Mr.. White. he must convince the
House that his father 10 either naturalIzed or

therefore. be necessary that he should prove
that his father was born in this country, ana to
do that he must produce his certificate of birth.
lpasmuch as the vital statistics law of Georgia,
early In the present century. did not require the
recording of birth certificates, it is doubtful if
Mr.. Crisp could show 10 the satisfaction of tho
majority of such committee that which he
presides over, thar he is really entitled to be
considered citizen of the United States

The wilberforce Revival.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal
WILBERFoRcE, O., Feb. 8.-There has just
closed the most remarkable revival ever wit
messed at this university.
AS the week Of prayer. which has always been
observed here, drew to end. a spiritual con-
Germ was manifested by two three young
ladies and service of prayer and of song was
held at their rooms by their companions. The
Sabbath following. in answer to an earnest ap-
peal by DR., jackson, pthese went forward. The
ensuing week brought b few additional seekers
and several converts. The next week saw the
work growing in intensity and result. The
faculty designated Friday, JAM 20. day
for fasting and prayer. Beginning at o'clock III
the morning, with preaching at IL, at and at z
o'clock and with praise and prayer meetings and
private devotions occupying the intervals, there
was experienced such visitation of the Holy
Spirit as must have thrilled the disciples ION the
day of Pentecosr During the subsequent week
it reached a. glorious elimination For two
days. recitatIons were suspended The entire
Christian body of school and community gave
themselves wholly to the work. Students and
citizens who had passed through previous re-
vivals went down in tears and penitence The
Y. M. c. A was especially active, holding a
noon service daily and rendering efficient or
ganized aid. The series OF meetings ended;
forty have been converted. ifty-two added to
the church and proportion of more than ninety
eight per cent. of the students are professed
Christians only two outside the fold. 1t is
the highest PERCENTAGE of Christian believers
the university has ever recorded.

Mr.. Cobb Appears AT the Capital, and Indiana
Democrats Think He Wants Office.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb ELECTROMAGNETIC
Cobb, of Indiana, put in an appearance at the
Capitol to-day. 1t is said that Mr.. Cobb is fish
ing for an appointment OF some kind, and that
he is SO anxious to get into public life that he
has no choice about the recognition he is ac-
corded by the administration. Some of the In
diana Democrats who have been working for
the appointment of acting Commissioner Stock
slayer to be Commissioner of the General Land
Office, say Cobb has been working for the place
himself, and are inclined to speak little harsh
ly about him for il. They cay that if he had
kept away from here Mr.. Stockslager would,
weeks ago. have been appointed, but that since
he has been hanging around neither will get It,
Mr.. Stockslager and his friends are unable to
fathom the object in delaying the appointment
of some one to the commissionership.

General Wilson expressed the conviction that
the fisheries question ought not to be settled up
any other basis than a recognition of equal
rights. We had shared in the effort which
brought the fisheries under British rule, and an
equal share in them was our right.
The members of the committee followed Gen.
Wilson's remarks closely throughout and further
evinced their interest in the subject by frequent
questions. They thanked him for his clear
pre- sentation of the case.
