CAMERON AND SMITH.

The Editors Futile Fight OH the Solid
senator.
The fight conducted by the Philadelphia
Press against the reelection of Senator
Don Cameron excites only ridicule at the
Capitol. Sand Pennsylvania Republican,:
Charles Emory Smith lacks either the
courage of his convictions or the convic-
tions of his courage. It's hard to tell
hich. He has dragged the Press into an
nti-Cameron fight every year he has
Icen in charge of that paper, but his fight
has always been SO timed that II has never
hurt Don and never will. Smith supports
the straight ticket, machine and all, at
the election, but when 1t is over tries to
down the machine.
Take the Press this morning." con-
tinued the Pennsylvania. ut contains
two columns of letters and press conf
ment adverse to Cameron. But one of
these letters is signed by the writer.
They are from Regular Republican from
1851 Several Republicans From Tours
in Florida, II. II. NJ, and SO ON, and bear
every evidence of having been concocted
in the Office of the Press. OF the press
comments but one is outspokcn in oppos-
ton and that one is the Republiedh of
Springfield, Mass, about the measlicst
MugwuInp paper In the country.
BEAT Cameron? Not much. He will
lay the whole Smith gang out and be re-
elected without opposition"

POTOMAC RELIEF CORPS

A Pleasant Time at the Installation of the
Officers-Elect.
The public installation of officers-elect of the
Department of the Potomac, Woman's Relief
Corps, took place last night at Grand Army
Hall. There was very large crowd present,

conducted by Commander-in- Chief Veasey,
and in his speech he alluded in a highly COM
plimentary manner to the work of the noble

sponse to the speech of Commander Veasey and
showed how the Woman's Relief Corps had ac-
complished much good for the G.. A. R. Mrs.
Lydia Mason, vice president, Mrs. Barnes, jun
1or vice, and Miss Ceilings, warden, were also
installed. There was some excellent singing,
Miss Rosafy sang the ''Star Spangled Banners

BANK wRECKERs CONVICTED.

Work and DUNCAN Sentenced and Taken to
the Penitentiary.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 7.-Work and
DUNCAN, who were convicted on the charge of
misappropriation Of bank funds last week, had
made application for new trial, and to-day had
been set for the argument of it. When the
two wreckers came into court this morning they
held consultation with their lawyers, the re-
suit of which was the withdrawal of the mo-
tion for new trial. The withdrawal of the
motion for new trial was unexpected, but the
next move of the two defendants was the sur
prise of the day. They were also under
indictment for conspiracy in falsifying
the entries of the banks books and
the trial on the charge had been set for next
Tuesday After Judge Arnold had granted the
application for the withdrawal of the motion
for new trial, counsel for the defendants
arose and said that his clients desire to change
their pleas on the conspiracy Indictment to
which they had pleaded not guilty and enter
plea of nOlo cOntendre, meaning that the defend
ant will not contend. The pleas were formally
entered, and the district attorney stated that
under the laws of the State Of Pennsylvania
plea of nolo conterdre was vir-
tually plea of guilty, and that the
defendants stood as If convicted of the offense
as charged in the bill. To instruct the court in
the nature of the ofense charged the district at
torney called the expert accountant who had
gone over the books, and he briefly testified to
the manner in which the falsifications had been
carried on. The convicted wreckers were then
sentenced to the peni tentiary, to which they
were at once taken.
