Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2I, 1888.

VASn1Hd1ONs DCCs %is iOoOs
Mr.. Cleveland, it seems, is about to
have another fight with the republi.
can Senate. He has nominated Mr..
Levi o. Bailey, of Indianapolis, to be
u. s. attorney for the district of lndi
ana, and the republican Senators cay
they intend to reject him. The rea.
son given for This is that Mr.. Bailey
made himself obnoxious personally to
Mr.. Harrison during the late campaign
but the real reason is that Mr.. Railey,
as Assistant Attorney, has been In
charge of the Judicial investigation,
which many republicans fear may put
striped clothes upon some of their In
diana brethren, and Ii confirmed as
Attorney would be prepared to push
the cases. The republicans figure thai
if they reject Bailey, and :" hang up"
any other nomination Mr.. Cleveland
may send in to fill the vacancy, the
place can be kept open until Harrison
comes in, and that he can select man
who will not be hard upon the repub-
lican bribers who helped to carry In
diana for him.
The latest Blaine rumor Is that the
Washington Post is to be purchased
and run as q Blaine organ In order to
help him control the next administra.
tion. I hope that 1t may turn out to
be true, because if Blaine controls the
columns of a newspaper, whether he
goes into or remains out of HarrisOn,s
cabinet, he will make 1t lively for
great many republicans,. and in max
ing it lively for them he will furnish
unlimited fun for the country at large
The republican Senators have been
making q strong pretense of being op
messed to q Christmas recess. To make
it more striking they even proposed
that the Senate should meet daily Al
IL o'clock, remaining in session until
3. then taking recess until g.. this
program to be kept up until their tariff |
hill ia passed Or course such foolish |
ness was opposed by the democrats,
lust as the republicans knew 1t would |

ioint resolution to take recess from
TODAY until Jan 4. The question will |

nsnal holiday recess will be taken.
Ex-senator Malone, of Virginia,
seored another failure this week. He
sent out invitations for q number of
fhe southern republicans to meet In
conference here, his object being to gel
himself endorsed for position in Har
rison's cabinet. When the conference
met it was soon learned that about
three fourths of them weIe bitterly

OVER in Portage county the Prohi-
bitiOnfsts have issued manifesto
claiming that through some sort OF
juggling with the leturns at the late
election. they were cheated out of 26
votes. This is matter which ought
to be Investigated, and if il be found
that the statement Is true, those who
are responsible for it should be pun
ished. 1t is true that the amount OF
votes is small, but the cffense is great
The crime has been committed against
the ballot box, and the purity of elec
tions has been destroyed if he 20 votes
have been suppressed. The otfense is
none the less crime because it has
been made to fail upon the weakest
political party ia the field. Prompt
punishment of Il fe W offenders insuch
cases would be very refreshing, and
might have saluta,y effect right here

OBITUAR ".

Sally Culver was born in Vermont
August, 81, 1871. In 1868. with her par.
ents. she moved to Ohio. She and
Ffeeman Upson were married March
d, 1SD, being the first couple married
in springfield township, Summit Co (,
lrhen in Portage Coz AT the time OF
Hulls surrender Mr.. Upson enlisted
and served his country for some time.
To them were born eight children, viz:
Laura M, LunaC., Phylenda A ,Jeru-
shs L., Erastus, Carlton, Alvah and
Alvira. Three of these are now liv-
ing. Mr.. Upson died some forty years
ago. Most of the time since then Mrs
Upson has made her home with her
son-in law, George Meacham, who
proved a tue and faithful son,
Living under every administration
of our government, she was privilege d
to see the wonderful growth and devel.
opment of our country. She was CALL
ed upon to experience much trouble
and sorrow, but she bore all burdens
with patient, hopeful resignation.
Emphatically was she woman of
faith. Her trust in God Was unfalter.
ing. AS she had outlived her genera
tion, though surrounded by friends, she
felt alone, and desired TO depart and
join former loved ones in that home
where there is no death. For some
years she has been blind, but until
quite recently her memory was fresh
and her mental faculties active. She
belonged to a generation that develoI .
ed many noble traits of character. In
some respects she was remarkable
woman, and enjoyed the respect of all
who knew her. At the time of her
death she was. perhaps, the IL /, st per
son in the county. Gradually old age
her strength, until Dec,
6th, when she bade good bye to earth
to join loved ones in the higher home.
Her funeral services, conducted by
Rev, Andrew Wilson, were held at
the residence of Mr.. Meacham, on |
Friday, Dec. Z, and her body was la d =
to rest beside her husband, in SutfieA.

At the Universalist Church the en-
tertainment Christmas Eve was un-
usually interesting. Instead of a tree
q beautiful arbor had been erected.
The frame work was lined with pink
colored material and covered with ev-
ergreen boughs. On the front of the
arch were the words Merry Christ
mas" In large white Letters The walls
were beautifully fes,ooned with ever
green's. The presents were artisticaly
placed in the arbor, which was illu
minated by lsrge lamp with red ard
green shade, SO that the effect was
charming. When the light was turn
ed on an expression of admiration was
visible in the faces of the crowded
house. The first exercise was a con-
cert piece, entitled "Elsie's Quest"
which was admirably presented by the
Sunday school and choir. Both the
recitations and music were excellent,
and the thought was rich and impress
i've. A little beggar boy who mad been
driven out of the scholars study, the
parlor of rich judge, and out of u
costly church, was " EIsie's Guest"

cert Ivan Waller told Santa Claus how
the stockings would be hung up, and
how he wanted them filled Nina

titled Petes Christmas" after which

similar occasion.

, handsomely decorated and brilliantly
Illuminated, was filled with presents
for the infant aud intermediate de
