A WONDERFUL PEDESTRIAN.

Walker George ID. Baird, who Recently
Astounded the Athletes.
George D.. Baird, theex-champion walker,
whose picture appears below, is probably
the smallest man that ever won the cham
pionship honors in II walking contest.
Baird, who has not been a competitor at
any of the amateur championship games
since 1885, was generally looked upon as a
lack number until he electrified the ath-
letic world by walking half a mile in EN-.
IMs. at San Francisco recently. which
clearly demonstrates that Baird, like that
other veteran walker, f.. P. Murray, still
retains his best form. Baird's great walk
was not done for a record, and none has
been claimed by him.
Baird made his first appearance in a
walking competition on Thanksgiving day,
1881. He won his first race of Importance

To the Salt Lake Tribune the defeat Of
Mr. ingalls, is even more painful than it
must have been to Mr.. ingalls, himself.
10 the light OF ingalls, direct bid for the
Alliance vote how utterly absurd 1t is to
read this in cold type. Senator Ingallso o
Kansas ought to gather the notices Of the
press that rejoice over his defeat; he
ought to file them away in a scrap hook
as an heirloom for his children, because.
beneath them he could write this; Look
at the above ms children; wherever there
has been 4 spa in the United
States that has upheld lawlessnes and in.
justice, that paper has opposed me;
whether it be one which oppose the
giving Of honest pensions to
soldiers or whether It be one
that dcplored when slavery died,
or whether 1t be one that through
the years was 4 champion of ~polygamy;
no matter in what form lawlessuess has
ever been c~hampioned in the United
States. you will find the representatives,
the men who we're those champions,
every one ~rejoices that l was beaten; every
newspaper that formerly was Republican,
but which drifted away to support Mr..
Cleveland instead Of Mr.. Blaine, giving a
a false reason for that support; every one
of these r]ejoices at my defeat"
In this choice list of newspaper critics
neither Mr.. Ingalls nor the editor Of the
Tribune should neglect to include such
Cleveland adherents. anti-pension and
Southern champions as the St. Louis
Globe Democrat and the Chicago Tribune.
A careful poll Of the newspapers of the
country was recently made TO discover if
the defeat Of Senator Blair Of New Hamp
shire was anywhere regarded as a national
calamity. The only tinge Of woe added to
the general SIGH of relief was found in the
Voice, a Prohibition weekly newspaper.
The Tribune occupies an almost similar
position with regard 70 ingalls,. Even
such Of the friends Of that gentleman as
are disposed to be honest with themselves
believe that he deserved his fate Tor plac-
ing his love OF Office above such principles
as he was supposed to honestly entertain.

Disapprovsd by the President
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The President
yesterday returned 90 the Senate without
tbs approval the bill providing that the
record and pension division of the war de-
partment, as no " established, shall hereafter
be known as the record and pension office of
the war department, and that the President
shall be authorized to appoint the off1csr
now In charge of the division a colonel In
the army and chief Of that office. The
object was to promote Dr. Ainsworth,
the head Of tine offios. The veto
message was not laid before the Senate till
this morniag. The grounds Of disspproval
are: First, that the bill is an encroachment
ON the executive prerogativs Of making 40
pointments, in that it gives the President no
discre ion as to whom he shall nominate;
and, second, that it creates an anomalous
position in the army, there being no such
grade as colonel of the army, the persons
being nominated as Colonel Of Infantry,"
