WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

from our heSular correspondent
Washington has never at
tempted toentertain SD large
a crowd as the one now here
in attendance upon the Ma
tional Encampulent the G.
A. R., but 1t il doing it well
and nthe main satisfactorily
although there are some com
plants Of over-charging on
the part If restaurant keep
ers. The city is very hand
somely decorated and more
profusely than ever before.
Mr.. Harrison was kept away
by the illness of Mrs. Harri-
son and his place is to bet
ken on the program by Mr..
Morton, who, by the way,
never 'smeIt gun powder in
battle, having been busy du-
ring the entire war in his New
York bank amassing his for
tune. OF cOtirse this has caus-
ed some good natural chat
ing among the old soldiers,
but they are here for Il good
time and are apparently hav-
ing it.
One year ago, when Wash
ington was selected do t h e
city to entertain this s Ell
campment, many prominent
local democrats feared that
1T would by the republicans
for political purposes, a n d
for that reason declined for
q time to take any part in
tfiaking preparations for it;
but they were assured that
there was to be NO politics in
it, and accepting that assur-
ance they allowed themselves
tn be put on the citizens com
mittee, and went to VI or K
With q will, and it is no exag-
GRAFTON to say that the great
success Of the encampment is
very largely due to the work
of these democrats and tdthe
money contributed by them
selves and their democratic
friends,
But the old soldiers h a d
hardly began to arrive in
large numbers before these
democrats learned that just
as they had at first feared
the encampment was to he

party. No blame for t h j 8

THE PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECT.
The presidential prospect
is regarded by thoughtful
men to be favorable to the
democrats. They do not see
how M. Harrison can win
unless he cai,ries Indiana, and
many republicans re- gard
that az next to impossible.
As to New York, they do not
see how the $4,000 demo-
cratic majority of last year
is to be overcome with the
election machinery largely in
the HANDS Of democratic pol
itlcians. Besides, there q re
thousands of republicans all
over the North who are pro-
fonndly dissatisfied with the
performance at Minneapolis.
The republican states were
for Blaine and yet the nomi-
nation was given to Harri-
son by the votes of the office
holders, representing rotten
borohghs which can not give
him a single vote. Indepen-
dent men do not relish that
Kind of a dose. Some of them
may swallow it, but they
will not say they love it. 1t
is bad enough 10 have a nom
inatiun purchased when it is
paid out Of the pockets OF the
beneficiaries. 1t is worse
VIII n it is paid out OF the Ma
tional Treasury. Blaine was
slaughtered a nd Harrison
got it by the votes OF his hir-
ed heelers whose wages were
paid out OF the peoples mon
ey. But we have to stand it,
|just as you democrats a re
swallowing your wrath and
supporting Cleveland.
THE NEGRO REVENUE TICKET.
! With republicans of East
.ern North Carolina will not
support the negro revenue
ticket which Eaves and his
gang have put up co save
the democratic party, We
will support file peoples tick
ct, and it looks like thous-
ands Of colored men will fol
low us; but if it should ap-
pear that the col0fed vote
will 60 solioly for the negro
ticket, then We would advise
the peoples party to with
draw their State ticket and
appeal to all white men to
vote tue denOcrH1c State
ticket. Skinner was right in
saying what he did iii the Ral
eigh convention, and the con
vention made a great mis-
take in Hot agreeing to- it.
The gnng who control the re-
publican machine wait + o
drive all white men out ofthe
} party in the negro belt. II
they get the State their pur-
pose is to turn over the n e.
gro counties to negro govern
ment. In this we propose to
down them, and wearere ready
to go 10 the full extent ofsur
: porting the democratic State

their schemes.

MORRIS. Dec. Goth. 1892.

Editor MORRIS TRIBUNE:
DEAR SRI notice in your issue
of the 18th an article concerning what
you are pleased to term new suit OF
clothes | am wearing and at the same
time wondering where I got them.
For the benefit of my friends of the
village of Morris and elsewhere I will
simply state that the suit is now two
years old and I think any man of
ordinary intelligence will say the suit
is not new. Max Forbes will tell you
better or Ole Hanson either; ask
them. Now as to where [ got them:
they are said to have been stolen
from Doc Hardy Of Dassel two years
ago; this is further evidence the suit
is not new one. AS to the neckties
[ am wearing they are new; but am
free to confess, however, they are
little off color for this season of the
year; but they being all I have [ am
compelled to wear them. The suit
may look cheap to you, COL, but you
are very much mistaken if you think
so. I can't afford to buy cheap cloth
ing. Yours truly,
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1892-12-21
Our Lady Artist.

Possibly it may not be generally
known by our people that we have in
our city a finished lady artist; lady
of exquisite taste, both in design and
execution natures gifts,improved by
practice and experience. We refer to
Mrs. G. A. Cressy, who gives lessons
in oil painting and who has some fine
specimens of her own work and has
been very successful in giving in
struction to others. 1t is only recent
ly that we learned of Mrs. Cressey's
artistic qualifications, and we deem it
duty to give publicity to the same
by referring to them in our columns.
Mrs. G. sketches from nature as
well as paints, and has some pieces of
her own sketching and painting that
are exceedingly fine and have been
highly eomplimented by competent
judges. When Mr.. J. o. Barrett of
Browns Valley was in our city last
week he called on Mrs. Greasy, and
after examining some of her paintings,
the scene on Minnetonka
Lake-sketched ond painted by her
self-he was anxious to buy it or Sc
cure the loan of it to exhibit at the
Worlds fair; and endeavored to in
duce her to go to Austin, this state, to
make sketches of scenery there and
in that vicinity, which are said to be
very delightful. Mr., Barrett is
gentleman who is credited with being
a most excellent judge of artistic
merit, and we refer to him here for
the purpose of showing that we have
not placed too high estimate on the
work Of Mrs. Cressy.
To those who have taste for
painting and desire to cultivate that
taste rare opportunity is now offered.
All such ladies should apply to Mrs.
Cressy our accomplished lady artist.

There was an exhibition of pugilis-
tic science at the rooms of the Morris
Athletic Club last Friday evening,
Dublin Dan, the African Dodger, and
Sweden Albert, the Well-Digger, be-
ing the contestants. Mr.. George R..
Howley acted as master of ceremonies.
It was a contest with gloves. -Four
rounds were fought, occupying, 16aa
minutes.
First round Preliminary sparring,
both contestants a little shy and re-
luctant to open up. Finally Dan at
tempted to get in left handler on the
Swede's probosis, missed and brought
up on his COB; no claret, however.
The round ended by Dan being sent
to grass by the Well-Digger.
Second roundabout men came up
smiling, although Dams was not bland.
This round lasted only q minutes,
neither contestant having the advan-
tage. Unfortunately, the master of
ceremonies received a somewhat Sc
we're punch low down in the stomach
by the Swede, which was intended
for the Dodger.
Round three.-Sparring all around
the room. The Wen-Digger reached
for the Dodger with his right, missed
him and damaged his left pepper by
coming in contact with the floor. This
ended the round.
Round four.-Both men showed
signs of exhaustion, Dan painting like
a catfish in the last throes of death,
and finally dropped in his corner as
limp as a newly-washed dish-cloth,
with the Well-Digger perched on his
remains.
The next morning Dan left for the
woods, fully convinced that there
was no money in the prize ring for
him. 5
