FISHING IN THE POTOMAC.
Where Bass Can Be Caught-The Fish Pr,
lection Bill Should Pass.

Where Bass Can Be Caught-The Fish Pro-
lection Bill Should Pass.
Mr.. Jesse Middleton who is one of the best
posted men in this part of the country on the
question of bass fishing, said to STAR re-
porter this morning that the passage of the act
for the protection Of fish in the Potomac river
would do more good than any other measure
proposed. The bill, which is designed to run
for ten years and prohibit the use of seines and
nets in the waters within the District, has
passed the Senate, but at the other end of the
Capitol it has been pigeon-holed but an effort
will probably be made to have it resurrected.
Speaking of the question Of protecting the
fish, Mr.. Middleton said that last winter q
number Of good bass were caught in the nets
about Four-miie run. and a number of small
bass have been caught there this season by
anglers. He has caught fully two dozen bass
there. but none OF them were very large.
There is good bass fishing, he said. ut Deco
guam Falls and at the mouth of Accotink creek,
just below Mount Vernon.
II the bill passes the House and finally be-
comes a law" said Mr.. Middleton, there will
soon be plenty of bass fishing between Alex
andria and the Chain bridge. Bass fishermen
find excellent sport on the upper Potomac along
the line of the Metropolitan branch Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The favorite
fishing grounds are along the river in the
vicinity of the Monocacy. Dickerson's, Viewer
ton, Point of Rocks and Harpers Ferry. Other
places mentioned are Hancock Nd, the Coaoco-
eheague river at Williamsport, Falling Waters
and Romney, W. Va, as well as Antietam creek
Some of these places are reached on the Cum
perland Valley railroad going to Hagerstown
after leaving the Metropolitan Branch road.
Between Georgetown and Seneca there are
also numerous fishing gounds, which are visited
for fbo
Little Falls, the feeder dam at the second lock-
McQuade's, the Anglers club house and
Great Falls.
The o'clock train on the Metropolitan
branch Saturday afternoon is known as Fish
ermen's train, because Of the large number of
anglers who travel on it.
Inquiries are often made concerning the law
governing bass fishing. 1t is stated that there
are some laws in several Of the counties, but
nshermen who visit many Of the places men,
toned say that il there are laws they are
virtually dead letters, for at none of the places
are they enforced.

Where II Originated and How IL Has BE-
come Established.
The ''two-thirds" rule of the national demo-
cratic conventions dates from the first conven-
ton held by that party. In MAY, 1854, .
national convention was held in this city and
that year the democrats adopted the idea and .
call was issued. National conventions bad
previously been held in 1880 by the anti
Masons and in 1881 by the national republi-
cans. The democratic convention of 1882 was
to nominate Vice President, for jackson hsd
been named for the presidency by number Of
legislatures.
The call for this convention was mnde by the
Legislature Of New Hampshire, and the conysn-
ton met in Baltimore May 81, 1882. Delegates
were present from every state except Missouri-
1t was at this convention that The two-thirds
rule originated by the adoption .. -he following
resolution:
Resolved, That each state be entitled IN the numi-
nation 70 be made of . candidate for the vice preSi
deney 70 number Of votes equal TO thenunlb<r ~
which they Will be entitled the electoral coiler
and Vice President. and that twothirds Of the whole
number OF votes IN the convention sha b neceaoay
70 constitute choice.
The passage of this resolution in 1882 had no
binding force upon the convention Of 1885, bus
the later convention accepted the two-thiros
ides, and 80 has each Subsequent convention.

The interview given out by the anti Cleveland
and fammany leaders in Chicago las, night at
lacking the ex-rrcsident's friends and declar-
ing that Cleveland cannot carry New York ex-
cited much discussion among democrats at the
Capitol today. In view Of the recent reports
that ex-secrstary Whitney had brought Tam
many to look on Cleveland with less disfavor
the Interview was something 81 a surprise "a
the Cleveland men. and drew from them caustic
remarks on Tammanv's course.
EDWARD NrRrHY's RECORD.
One Cleveland man said Of Edward Murphy.
jr.. with whom the interview was ostensibly
held: ITO us who know Mr.. Murphy's record
as q democrat his Remuneration of Cleveland's
friends in New York as boilers. and his charge
that they have been traitors TO the party in the
past, are highly editying and amusing.
happen TO know personally that in the
campaign Of 1888 Mr., Murphy was given
the names Of a number Of organizations
In the state that were openly working for Har-
rison and Hill He was requested not 20 give
these organizations any of the democratic cam
paign funds, as il was pointed out 20 him that
II this sort of trading encouraged Mr..
Cleveland would, Of course. lose the state
Notwithstanding repeated warnings Of thit
kind regarding these Harrison and Hill
them with funds and failed TO do any
thing TO stop the contemplated trading We
who know these facts may be pardoned IL We
don't pay much intention to Mr.. Murphy now
when he undertakes to read out OF the party the
friends Of Mr.. Cleveland"
FAKE OR A BLUFF
Mr.. Bynum of Indiana said that the Tammany
declaration against Cleveland was either a
fake" or bluff Il can't believe" he said
that Richard Croker hasn't better sense thar
to allow utterances calculated 10 stir up such
bitter feeling at the convention TO be made
with his approval"
PENNSYLVANIA WILL GO FOR CLEVELAND.
Naturally there is a great deal OF interest re-
garding the way in which the sixty-four vote,
OF Pennsylvania will go. The delegation was
instructed to vote as 4 unit. but some members
of II hold that the unit rule has no place in
Pennsylvania democratic politics and that the
instructions of the state convention are no,
binding for the reason that the convention
selected only the delegates-at-large. Still
the unit rule WILL in all probability. be
observed on the first ballot. and the sixty-four
votes cast soiidly for Cleveland. A New Norl
report has it that after the first ballot the
Pennsylvania vote will go 10 Gov. PattisOn.
Concerning this Representative Riley OF Penn
sylvania said this morning: The Pennsylva-
mia delegation will not drop Cleveland sitter tn,
first ballot unless his name is withdrawn
Pennsylvania will vote for Cleveland as long a,
he is candidate. II his name should be with.
drawn from the list of candidates then Penn.
sylvania will vote for Gov. Pattison. of course
with the possible exception Of two or tire,
of the delegates"
