KENNEDY DESERTED BY HIS
WHIlOM ALLIES.
Comment Upon Frank IIume's Candidacy
Determination Of Democrats to OPP
Courts for Western Virginia.

urged Kennedy 10 make the assault, yOuch-
safed a single word Of comfort or even a
glance Of sympathy 10 his distressed and
OstracIsed friend. GrosyenOr, of OHIO,
who has been defeated for ren0mina-
ton. was the only member who
had the temerity to interpOse in
kennedy's behalf, and he distinctly de-
clared that he did not approve the speech
of his colleague. The Republican proceed
| ings were hollow and insincere. 1t was Il
specimen Of bold hypocrisy, for many of the
Republicans approved kennedy's utter
ances, and secretly rejoiced when he pitch
ed into Quay.
FRANK HUME's POSITION.
The Democrats are finding fault with
Hon. Frank lIume's card, the chief COM
plant being that he does not pledge himself
TO enter the Democratic caucus and abide
by its decrces. IIume's friends reply that
should he make this pledge, he would repel
Republican support. but good Democrats
do not feel that they can vote for man
who may defy party discipline and set an
example of mutiny. Almost without eX-
ceptiOn, Democrats in Congress say the
better plan is to stand by the regular organ
ZatiOn.
OPPOSING LANGsTON.
The Republican managers say this even
ing that they have l3j members in the city
or - short of quorum. Unless they can
muster more than this there is no chance
for them 10 seat LangstOn, as the Democrats
ale determined 10 continue the fight until
they win or are defeated by numbers.

THE ANTI-LOrTERY LAW.
The anti-lottery bill having now passed
both houses OF Congress. 1t only awaits the
signature of the President to become a
law, aud there is not likely TO be
any unnecessary delay on that account.
The postal authorities are prepared
to enforce 1t vigorously. and it is therefore
important that the public should under
stand its provisions. The bill gives
great power TO the POstmaster-General
and after it becomes law, it,
will be very dangerous for any per
son to NEEDLE with lottery tickets. II
makes it an Ofcnse for any newspaper TO
