The Republicans of the Sixth Alder
manic district arranged what was in
tended to be a mass meeting in the Y. M.

masses. The affair was dismal
fiZze. there being but seventy
people present (actual counD, including
the speakers, policemen and reporters.
The speakers were confronted by rows of
empty chairs and the mention of WAN
ser's name provoked chilling little efforts
at applause-in fact. had it not been for
mike" Schultz there would have been
no applause at all. The ex-Alderman
seated himself at the rear of the hall, to-
gether with several confederates, who
were armed with heavy canes and at a
given signal pounded the floor.
That old war horse, Reuben Simpson,
officiated as chairman of the meeting.
Thomas McEwan was the first speaker,
and he worked with might and main to
arouse enthusiasm. mike" Schultz and
responded. MIR. McEwan said few
things about Wanser's fitness, or rather
unfituess for Mayor. He did it so
thoroughly that over half the people left
the hall at the close OF his speech.
Assemblyman j. Herbert Potts and
Counsellor Linn Bruce also addressed the
meeting. Max Salinger, having left his
book of campaign speeches at home, did
not speak longer than five minutes He
succeeded, however, in putting over halt
the audience to sleep.
The Republicans will make another at
tempt to hold meeting on Monday even
ing next at the same place.

A CONTEST OF DANIEL HOODS WILL,

Despite the Condition That Any Contest-
ant Shall Lose His Legacy.
NEW HAVEN. CONN, Feb. s-[SpecioL Tine
will of Daniel Hood, the philanthropist, VINO
gave sl,O00,OO0 for the amelioration OF the
condition of the colored people, was admit
ted to probate yesterday in Guiford. 1t con-
tanned IA codicils. The estate amounts TO
more than $6o00O0. Judge Luzon B Morris
appeared for the will, of which he is execu-
tor. Lynde Harrison appears for the heirs
at-law, 20 in number, and John w. Alilng
appeared for the American Missionary AS
sociation, which is the residuary legatee.
No evidence against any of the parts OF the
will was presented, but Judge Harrison, as
the representative of Dr.. Charles Farnham,
of Randolph, Mass, one of the heirs-at-iaw,
gave notice of appeal on the ground that the
evidence on which the will had been al
mitted was insufficient, and a bond Will De

pared the appeal papers.
The leading heirs-at-law are Mrs. simeon
J. Fox, Mrs William Elliott and Mrs. VIII.
Madison; Mrs. Elizabeth Sharp, of San Fran
cisco. and DR.. Farnham. The will provides
that any legatee contesting the will shall
lose any legacy bequeathed to the con-
testant, but as there are several heirs-at-law
who receive nothing under the Will ana
codicils they have nothing to lose by max
ing contest. If they should succeed IN
having the WILL or any part OF it, declared
void they will be entitled to their share as
heirs-at-law in the absence of o special testa-
mentary provision otherwise.

A PRopER AMENDMENT.

While the question of electing Senators
hv popular vote has received some atten-
ton in Congress, it is satisfactory to note
that measure has been introduced for a
change less radical in its character, but
which is more clearly supported by the
good sense of the people. A joint resolu-
ton introduced by Mr.. Grain, of Texas,
provides for the submission of two consti-
tutionaI amendments, which can be briefly
stated as fixing the Inauguration of Presl-
dents on the 30th of April, and the begin
ming of the sessions of Congress on j January
!. the Congressman elected at the previous
fall elections to be members Of that Con-
gress.
The wisdom of putting off the inaugu-
ration TO April 80 has been long attested
bv the uncounted seeds of pneumonia and
consumption sown by exposure to the in
clement weather of March during inau-
guration ceremonies. There is more room
for discussion as to the change with re-
gard to Congressional terms, but there is
no doubt that it I, fleets the popular desire
and will bring Congress just so much into
closer touch with the people.
Whatever may be done regarding the
election of Senators, or reforming the use
less and perfunctory electoral college,
these two amendments should ne passed
by the present Congress and submitted to
the State Legislatures.

THE yINDIC.rIoN OF RUSSELL

It would be invidious and ungrateful to
omit'due notice and credit to the vindi-
cation afforded by the Blaine letter to
that much-misunderstood political quan-
tity. Mr. Russell B. Harrison. True, the
document has other effects, such as ex-
posing Mr.. Joseph Manley, of Augusta,
Maine, in his true character as Virgins
of political prophecy, as well as casting
mantle of glory over the recent predictions
of Colonel Elliot F. Shepard But the
prophet who foretells correctly is a
superior object to the prophet who is a
failure, and the one who sees long dis
tance ahead is far above the one whose
vision only extends to the middle of next
week
These conditions place Mr.. Russell Har-
rison on the topmost pinnacle of political
foresight. Long before Colonel Shepard,
and with much superior accuracy to
Joseph Manley, the younger Harrison
knew that Mr.. Blaine would not be a can
didate, and kindly informed the country
of the fact. The prophet was without
honor in his country, and we regret to say
that Mr.. Harrison's predictions were the
point to the results and gently intimate
that he laughs best who laughs last.
As the political forecaster who is vim
dicated by experience, and as the son of
the administration, Russell B. Harrison
may be expected to rise to a position of
the first Importance in the coming cam
paign. He will not be put in the plat
form, because recent observation has
demonstrated that platforms do not
amount to anything. But if the Junior
Harrison does not shine before the people
as the coming foreeaSter and the pre-
destinated chief OF the department of
political and governmental prophecy-in-
cluding the direction of the Republican
weather-it must be attributed to his
tender and shrinking modesty.

PUTTING THEM ON RECORD.

The practical method of pledging candi-
dates to miAage reduced in proportion
as the city valuation is in the aggregate
increased is wisely being adopted at a
number Of the taxpayers meetings. That
programme has the advantage of definite
ness. 1t means q guarantee that the city
expenses viii be kept at least within the
limit of last wears appropriations.
1t is a good thing that so much interest
is manifested upon all sides in the ap-
preaching election of councilmen. Not
mercy the real estate owners but all
classes are taxpayers; and every voter
should know beforehand the qualifications
Of the candidate for whom he proposes to
vote, and also, and expressly, his policy
upon the tax and expenditure question.
The stir over the assessments has had the
good effect Of awakening attention to city
affairs in a degree not known in previous
years. The pledging of candidates in
black and white to distinct policy is what

OIL City, Pa. Feb. 9.-[SpeciaL ]-Under an
agreement entered into by the Republican
committees of the counties comprising this
Congressional district, the primaries must
be held on the. same day i'll the different
counties. The Venango County Committee
met at Franklin Monday and decided that
the primaries should be held Saturday,
April g. provided the committees of the
other counties in the district concur in the
action. There is no known reason why they
should not, and the primaries will therefore
be held on the date designated.
Several candidates have already an
nounced and others will doubtless follow.
For Congress no opposition to Hon. G. w.

little room to doubt that he will be the
nominee. For Delegate to the National

spirit of self-sacrifice which alone could
have enabled them to support such trials.
We presume that the gentlemen who
have gone through the experience believe
that the solicitors have reached their
maximum of effort. otherwise the fate OF
an aspirant for Office would be terrible
when the attempt was made to condense
all these demands into ten short days. Or
perhaps they prefer remedy heroic and
swift to an agony of linked sadness long
drawn out.
1t is to be hoped that the bill will become
law, because there is no doubt that 1t
would mean saving of time and dignity
to candidates, and anything which does
that is of public benefit and likely to
raise the standard of competitors.

PLEA FOR POLITICIANS.

One of the drawbacks to competing for
public Office is the solicitation for patron
age to all manner of entertainments and
undertakings which, though small indi-
vidually, amount in their sum total to a
positive persecution.
In supporting the bill for limiting to
ten days the interval between nomination
and election, which was before the New
Jersey Legislature yesterday, some of the
members showed themselves to. be true
humorlsts by the hasterly manner in
which they combined mirth and pathos
The tales of woe which were unfolded
are appalling in the tribulations they dis
play, and the men who lived through them
are to be praised for the fortitude and
