CHEAP I.1rnnArIrpr-

Mr.. Henderson, from the committee on
printing, reported a joint resolution for the
disuosition of undistrfbuted copies of records
OF the rebellion, reports of the tenth census and
reports of the public lands commission
The resolution gave rise to a long discussion,
in the course of which Mr.. Vest gave express
sion to his ideas as to the value of publica-
tiens OF the public printing office He said he
had room in Washington in which there
were several hundred volumes of public docu-
ments bound in calf at the expense of the gov
ernment, which books he could not give away
he could not trade them off lie could not dis
pose OF them unless he put them imithe fire. He
had asked a dealer in secondhand books to
make II bid for them, the offer was n dollar for
the lot, the dealer thinking that the offer was
personal favor to him. The upper portion of
the capitol was crammed to the roof with
books, and he had been informed by the archi-
tect that if spark of fire touched that mate
rial, the gas from it would blow off the roof
and yet there was Il continual stream of these
publications pouring out of the government
printing office. Money might as well be taken
and thrown into the Potomac river.
Finally the joint resolution was passed

WASHINGTON, February G.-Further nveS-
LEGATION shows that Abraham ISaacs, the Pol
ish jew, who went into the white house with
u loaded revolver to collect 81 600 from the
president and was arrested with the weapon in
his possession, is a crank of a very dangerous
character. He says the government owes him
this money.
When arrested he was exclaiming: 81 will
kill him. will kill him" Tho fellow APP
pcared TO be crazy, and announced his deter
mincticn Of putting bullet into Mr.. Clcve-

PLATT ON THE MESSAGE.
The senate then, at L: IS, resumed con3iG -
alton Of the resolution 10 refer the presidents
message and Mr.. Platt resumed the speech
which he commenced yesterday. Mr.. platt
said th4t he had shown yesterday that the
presidents me sage meant the absolute and
final destruction of the protective system, and
that it could result in nothing else than the
entire downfall Of tho protective systom Of the
country. He could not but assume that the
democratic party intended to follow the recon-

wanted the democratic party to follow its
leader 10 obey its commander; to take off the

National Democratic Convention.

The national democratic committee hav- ing met in the city of Washington on the 22d day of February, 1888, has appointed Tuesday, the 9th day of June next at noon as the time chosen and the city of St Louis as the place of holding the national demo cratic convention.
 Each state is entitled to representation therein equal to double the number of its senators and representatives in the con- gress of the United States. The Demo- crats of each organized territory and the District of Columbia are invited to send two delegates, subject to the decision of the convention as to their admission. All Democratic conservative citizens of the United States, irrespective of past political associations and differences, who can unite with us in the effort for 8 pure, economi- cal and constitutional government, are cor dially invited to join in sending delegates to the convention. 1 . -.....-s

The South Still Solid.

There is still no rent in the solid south. Louisiana elected Democratic state officers by good majority, notwithstanding the combined opposition of the Republicans, the lottery ring and corrupt municipal clique in New Orleans. Gen. Nichols the governor elect, is reform Democrat in full sympathy with the views and feel ings of the national Democracy as repre- sented by the president and majority o1 the party in the house of representatives Warmoth, the defeated candidate, was governor when the carpet baggers ruled and robbed the state, and his repudiatio1 is credit to the people of louisiana St. Louis Republican.

THE WATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY MAY S. 8ss
The Louisiana Election.

Inc AOulSlaDA EleCtAOAs
 Louisiana is again Depocratic by an overwhelming majority.
 Thus Republican hope to break the solid south goes up in smoke. and an other rivet is fastened into the already substantial frame work which holds the south together in support of honest gov ernment.
 Nothing could have been better for the Democracy than the course adopted by the Republicans in the Louisiana cam paign. There has never been the slight est doubt as to the result, but the signal victory of the Democratic ticket will serve two purposes; first, it gives the party renewed encourag gement and assures it that no side issues can ever cause suf fcient defection in it's ranks to impair it's strength: and second. it conclusively demonstrates to the Republicans that the south appreciates the necessity of standing by the Democratic party, and that it will do so under all circumstances.
 The Republican party centered all of It's strength in the Louisiana campaign. Had it been successful, the entering wedge would have been driven and the result would have been, to say the least of livery threatening to the Democratic party. The Republicans saw their opportunity and, having a combination of circumstances in their favor to aid them in making vigor- ous campaign in Louisiana, determined to stake all hopes of breaking the solid south on the result. The Democrats were divided among themselves not only on personal issues, but the Republicans had strong faith that the tariff question would be the | apple of discord which would create a still wider division in their ranks. Of all southern states, Louisiana was the one 1 which the Republicans believed to be suf- fciently ripe on the tariff question to al- low that issue to take precedence of party fealty. There undoubtedly is a very large protection element in the Democracy of that state-probably moro than in any other southern state-and had this ele- ment deserted the Democracy the result would have been different. But it did not, and it never will, in Louisiana or any other | southern state.
 So long as there is Republican party, so long will there be solid south. When the Republican party abandons the issues which have united the south against it fol these many years, then there will be nc Republican party, and on other issues the south may divide.
 But as long as the issue is between Democracy and Republicanisln, the south will remain unbroken.-Atlanta Constitu

Progress of the Famous Contest in New
 York.
 NEW YORK, May 8.-In the Stewart will case yesterday counsel for contestants offered in evidence various deeds of Mrs Stewart to Judge Hilton of valuable real estate without consideration; also transfers of large blocks of stock held in A. T. Stewards name to other parties by Judge Hilton and MT. Libby without Mrs Stewards signature as concur curing; also large transfers of stocks by Mrs. Stewart to Judge Hilton without con sideration. Counsel for Judge Hilton ob- jected, but the documents were admitted.
 Counsel for contestants laid stress upon the fact that all witnesses to business trans actions between Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton were members of the Hilton family or of counsel for them. Witness J. Henry Work was asked by MT. Choate:
 "When Mrs. Stewart signed her will in your presence, was she formally told that she was giving half of her residuary estate to Judge Hilton?'
 The witness replied:
 "No."
 Witness admitted that he never called on Mrs. Stewart on business:appointments ex- cept once ot: twice, without seeing Judge Hilton there.

WALKING FOR GLORY.
The Worlds Championship Six Days
 Tramu in New

The Worlds Championship Six Days
 Tramp in New York.
 NEW YORK, May 8.-It is satisfactorily demonstrated that long distance walking matches are still in favor in New York The attendance at Madison Square garden is large and enthusiastic. The fight for su- premacy between Hughes and Cartwright was the interesting feature of the first day of the match.
 At midnight it was decided to rule num- Der of pedestrians off, and for very good reasons. The pedestrians in question had amused themselves and the crowd by smok- ing cigarettes, drinking beer and comporting themselves generally as persons who were not in earnest. As they had not covered 100 miles in twenty-four hours, according to the rules of the match they were compelled to go into obscurity. At 12 o'clock the only men who were in the race were Littlewood, Hughes, Cartwright, Golden, Herty, Nore- mac, Saunders, Day, Hart, Hegelman, Vint, Cox, Campana, Guerrero, Moore and Dillon.
 It is possible that more than one of the con testants in the present match may make a new record for Madison Square garden. Several of them seem to be working toward that end in very methodical way Little wood is going strong and has several times shown ability to do wonderful work if he were pushed. It is too early to say that he will or will not be pushed in this race. Cart wright was expected to make him do his utmost and promised that Littlewood. to win, must break all records badly. Cartwright has probably overestimated his own powers. Littlewood is ahead. but Cartwright has not pushed him except in the first few hours of the race. The leader has more dangerous man than Cart wright at his heels. John Hughes follows him closely, and is so close up that no one can say to a certainty that the 'Lepper" will not lead the string before another day has gone Hughes has trained for this race as he never trained before, and he will dog enough to kill himself rather than let Littlewood win without the hardest sort of struggle Herty is also close up, and Herty has demonstrated his ability to cover let's of ground and re- main on the track for Six days

AFTER mature deliberation and investi- and the court of common council have de- cided that it would not be wise for the city to buy the Quassapaug property and water privileges There was danger of serious legal complications arising in the event of the city purchasing the lake and privil- eges, and as in the opinion of competent judges, Hop brook will answer the city $ water requirements for years to come, it is probably just as we'll not to saddle the people with such an enormous debt as the purchase of Quassapaug would involve, at this time.

BALFoUR continues to pursue with great industry his policy of decreasing the par liamentary opposition to the tory govern ment. Yesterday another member of par lament, MT Thomas Joseph Condon, was convicted of participating in an assembly declared unlawful by the Crimes act, and sentenced to two weeks imprisonment. The punishment is comparatively mild, but it will answer Balfours purpose if it deprives the liberals of @ vote on some i'm portant measure.
