WASHINGTON CITY, April lS-During his
speech on the Dakota admission bill in the
senate Tuesday Vest declared that if any
southern community had acted like the peo-
pie of Dakota, the Republicans would have
shouted rebellion, and that Edmunds would
have hastened to bring forward some legisla
tion of the character he aided to frame in
1876, the result of which was to seat Hayes in
the presidential chair that belonged to Til
den.
Edmunds declared that he believed then
and believed now that Hayes vas honestly
and fairly elected, and that nine -tenths of the
people of the country so believe.
Vest took issue with this statement, and
said that Mr. Conkling, the foremost man of
the Republican party, had spoken of Hayes
on the senate finnr rs "Rutherfraud' Hayes
Edmunds was satisfied that Mr. Conkling
believed in the election of Hayes

forces at the Republican nominating convention
In Chicago, and made the speech putting him in
nomination. Soon after the election Of President
Garfield he differed from him on quest ions Of pub
lie policy and in 1881 he resigned his seat In the
senate and applied TO the legislature of New York
for Endorsement and reelection, He failed in this,
and retired from politics, resuming the active
practice Of the law to redeem his fortunes which
were sadly shattered. He speedily assumed the
foremost position at the New York bar, and was
engaged in a number of prominent and remuner-
ative cases. His last visit To Chicago was in July,
1851 when he argued patent case in the United
States court and received much attention, being
rendered reception by the Grant club, OF late
years he had been repeatedly solicited TO reenter
politics. and his recent replies had indicated that
he might reconsider the resolution ha made in
1881. Although his hair and board had whitened
of late years Mr., Conkling still retained his fine
physical proportions, which would have made
him marked man in any assemblage.

The outcome of yesterdays republican
county convention. gives the democracy
even better opportunities for capturing
at least two county offices than 1t had
two years ago when two of the strongest
candidates the republicans could put
forth were defeated by Thomas s. Silvls
and John Schafer, Jr., respectively
While the democracy had the advantage
then of presenting two immensely popu>
lar men whose election was due to large
extent to individual merit, yet the repub-
licans were then united on their candi
dates and now they are not. Hon. Pat
rick O'Mara, the present candidate for
states attorney, is not popular with the
masses of the Republican party. This
fact was demonstrated to a certain extent
little over a year ago when this same
political revolutionizer was laid low In
his canvass for city attorney by William
McEniry. There is large element of
the republican party that cannot go Mr..
OMara, for they believe him to be re-
publican simply for the spoils there is in
it. Four years ago after O'Mara had been
given some of the festest plums the coun
ty democracy possessed, even to being
nominated for the office for which he now
poses on the other side of the fence, he
broke loose from the party which had
honored him and became republican,
and as soon as the first opportunity
offers itself he comes before the party he
had so long abused and opposed as a
seeker for favors at its hands. Had there
been the same chances for success on the
democratic ticket four years ago!that there
is now, Pat would still have been an en-
thusiastic democrat Many of the repubs
licans of the county-outside of the ma
chine-are conscious of this fact, and the
Hon. Pat is considered by them not only
an intruder but man of much check
even for a lawyer and a professional poll
itician.
For clerk, the republicans of the mas
chine ordained it that Bowman. the pres
ent incumbent, should be sacrificed for
Gamble, in order to appease Moline's
wrath at O'Mara's nomination. Bow
mans friends naturally enough do not
look kindly upon CANDLES nomination.
They say that Bowman made Gamble by
taking him out of a humble position in
Moline and giving him lucrative posi>
tion In his office, and that now lac shows
his gratitude (Oby stabbing his benefactor
in the back at the first opportunity, On
the whole we do not look upon Mara
and Gamble as difficult men To beat, and
there are very good indications that they
will be beaten.

CONGRESSIONAL TRANSACTIONS.



WAsHINGToN CITY, April lS.-Bills were
reported to the senate Tuesday appropriating
100000 for a public building at Wichita,
Kan, and SO, 900 for one at Burlington, la.
Edmunds insisted that Riddebergers S fisheries
resolution should be considered in secret ses-
| sion, and it was done, and the resolution post
poned until the foreign relations committee
reports on a similar one now pending. The
bill forfeiting certain railway land grants
was amended SO as to secure to settlers who
have taken up homesteads in good faith a
clear title to the lands so taken up. Vest then
spoke on the Dakota bill in answer to Spoon
ers speech of Monday. He declared that Da-
kota had erred i'll setting up state govern
ment without first obtaing the consent of con-
gress. The bill was then laid aside, a number
of private pension bills passed, and the senate
adjourned.
Bills were referred to committee of the
whole by the house; For branch soldiers
home in Grant county, Ind. to create boards
of arbitration for the settlement of troubles
between common carriers and their EN-
ployes. Bills were reported favorably for
the erection of public buildings at Sioux
City, Ia. Helena, Mont, and Racine, Wis;
also to prohibit the importation of convict
made goods. Mills then moved that the
house go into committee to consider the tariff
bill, which was carried, and he made an ex
tended speech in favor of the bill of the ways
and means committee. Kelly of Pennsyl-
vania followed in opposition, and when he
had concluded the house ad djourned.

fects Of the wound, has been completed The
testimony was conflicting, The crew of the

gineer, said he considered his life in danger.
He saw no one, however, throwing stones.
The fireman said the cab was shattered by
the throwing of missiles, and others of the
crew swore similarly The men about the
crossing where the shooting occurred swore
that they saw no disorder or assault on the
80" engine. The verdict was that Walsh
came to his death by u pistol shot fired by
Somers and the case was referred to the

CHICAGO, April 1S.-There is no change

clare, on the other hand, that they will never

were closed, when dispute arose between
James Wear, prominent fireman and

was unusually quiet.
A very large vote was polled, perhaps 3d.

throughout the day with men having heavy

was not the slightest friction. There was
great deal of scratching, and the result is not

walls at this hour that Judge Robert Davey,
regular Democrat, has defeated ex-Mayor Jo-
seph Shakespeare for the mayoralty, and
that Peter Farrell, regular has been elected
commissioner of public buildings over Gen.
G. T. Beauregard, Y. NJ. ID. A. 1t is believed
that nearly all of the remainder of the Y NJ.

Marys parish in south Louisiana, which has
heretofore given 1000 to 5000 Republican
majority, is claimed by the Democrats.
Every parish heard from so far except Tensas,
shows Democratic gains, and it is not imposs-
BILE that Nichols majority will reach that of
McEnery's in 1884. His majority in this city
is from 1900 to 5000.
