Senator Pasco Has Fight Before Him for
the United States Senate.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star
MADISON, FLA. October Is, 1892.
Senator Pasco has been laying off, for a
week or two, but joined c. NJ. Cooper in the
second district canvass at De Land yesterday
They will probably be on the stump together
for the next three weeks. The Senator SAYS
that he has been in nearly every county in
Florida, and he has talked with the men who
have recently been chosen to the legislature.
The result is that he feels very sure Of a re-
election to the United States Senate very soon
after the legislature meets next April Twas
talking with him in Jacksonville the other day
and was surprised to see how implicitly he be-
ieves the assurances Of friendship made By
men who are going to fight him for all they are
worth in Tallahassee.
There will be little, if any, opposition to
me- he said,
Pat Murphy. the Irish songster, who has con-
siderable of pull with the democratic politi-
anyway, said to the Senator: Don't think
every man who shakes your hand is your
friend. Senator. They all talk fair, hut some
Of them have got it in for you deep"
'How's that, Pat?'' asked Pasco.
Il mean. said Pat, that there's a Niger in
the wood pile and you'd better look out for
him."
"Not very big one, reckon" was the SEN
ator reply. And lie walked away, apparently
satisfied with the outlook.
The fact is that the Call people in Florida
still "have it in" for Pasco. He had promised
to go down to Tampa last June and help the
Call people to put up a state ticket Of their own
making-especially to get the Call delegation
from Jacksonville seated in the convention,
But Judge Turnbull, his faithful lieutenant in
Jefferson county, preceded him to Tampa three
days and just before the convention met wired
the Senator to ''stay IN Monticello
The Senator obeyed. His influence was,
therefore, lost to the Call crowd, and they were
badly defeated at Tampa. So some Of them
don't feel very kindly toward him.
Pasco helped materially in the election of
Call in the spring Of 1891. So the anti-Cali
men all left Tallahassee with long knives in
their boots for Pasco.
And the Call democrats left Tampa vowing
that they would ''even up" with him for going
back on the m in their fight down there.
But on both sides be has still many friends.
and he is gathering them. He may pun through
both fires, but il he does it will be miracle.
Maj. Alexander st. Clair Abrams Of Lake
county will be member OF the new state SEN
ate and will himself be candidate for the
United States Senate, 80 it is said. He will get
the support OF Calls friends in general.
E. NJ. Hammond, state senator from Orange
and Osceola counties, will get lot of support
ers from the Call crowd-that is II he consents
to become q candidate for the United States
Senate.
So Paseo's path will not DO one Of roses alto
gether next spring

Two New Factors Now Figuring in the
Politics of the Wolverine State.

Two New Factors Now Figuring in the
Politics of the Wolverine State.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, October IA, 1892.
Two elements that have never before figured
in Michigan politics assuming important
proportions and nobody can tell exactly which
way either of them will cut or how deeply.
Both pretend to be non-partisan, but regard
less of the pretenses the democrats are accused
of being back Of one and the republicans are
charged with the paternity Of the other. One
of these elements is the Order of Patriotic Sons
OF America, secret society, with all sorts Of
iron-clad and blood-curdling oaths in its ritual,
whose special mission Is to destroy the power
of the pope and all of his subjects. The Patri-
otto Sons claim and have large membership,
and every member is pledged to vote and work
against any Catholic who may rise up q can
didate for Office, even though his aspirations
do not rise higher than justice Of the peace or
ward constable. They deny that there is any
politics in their organization but the members
are mostly republicans, and the democrats de-
clare it is republican scheme throughout,
gotten up for this campaign only. There are
no Catholics on any of the state tickets and it
is noticeable that very few Catholics have been
nominated for the legislature in county
offices by the republicans, while the democrats
have not considered religion in bestowing the
honors just how much of a figure the Patri-
otto Sons will cut In the campaign cannot be
told until after election, and even then, the
order is secret, its exact strength and influence
will still be mystery.
The other element is the lianor interest of
the state. This element also claims to be nom
partisan, but the republicans declare the demo-
Gratis are back of it. and while this NAV not be
absolutely correct. yet the activity OF the
saloonsts in politics will result in giving the
democracy boost. In the past the repnblican
party has claimed to be the party OF eminent
respectability, the only true friends of the tenn
perance cause. To hold the prohibition vote
the rePuolcans have enacted various laws look

Maintaining a Reading Room.

A reading room opened in the basement
OF Grace Church. situated Mt the intersection Of
South Carolina avenue, 9Th and ID streets south
east, last February. where the best dailies and
magazines are kept on hand. During the long
evenings of last winter the room was well filed
nightly. As the warm weather came on q yard
in the rear of the church was inclosed and used
for athletic sports during the summer. The
work vail be enlarged this season by the addi-
ton Of library for the especial use Of the
patrons Of the room. For this purpose an up
peal has been made by the pastor for contribu-
tions of books on next Monday evening. when
book reception will be held in connection with
the reopening of the reading room. The appeal
says: I've desire books of reference, standard
works. works of fiction from the best authors,
&c. Every effort viii be made 20 make the
room and library an attractive place OF resort
for the young people Of East Washington. II
Is the aim to leave nothing undone which
will attract young men from the saloons aud
pool rooms that surround the church. The
room this season will be under the manage
ment of the Young Mems Aid. an organiza-
ton whose express object is 10 look up and
help young men, especially those whose feet
have entered the downward path through the
saloon. A young mems prayer meeting h
held every Sunday at pm, a young peo-
pies meeting every Tuesday At 80 pm Last
winter free lectures were given by prominent
men Of the city every "Wednesday evening.
They will be continued this winter. Several
members of Congress will be on the program.
The church has occupied its present field for
little over one year. Within that time the Sum
day school. under the superintendence OF J. +.
Bradley, has doubled it, membership. nov
church edifce has been built. between thirty
and forty added to the church. missionary con-
tributions have exceeded any former year oon-
gregations have steadily increased and the
church has shown itself 10 be one Of the
strongest, aggressive churches that can be
found in the city. Rev. J. j.. Smith. the pas
tor, who has just returned from his vacation,
begins the new year with great encouragement

THE POLITICAL CLUBS,

Meetings Of Various State ORGANIZATIONS
Arranging to Send Voters Home.
The political situation in Nebraska and Kan
sas is likely to bring out the full vote Of the
citizens Of those states resident in this city It
is expected that some $50 will go home
TO vote, and joint meeting Of the
republican clubs Of those states was held
last evening at 14l1 Pennsylvania avenue
for the purpose of receiving propositions
from the representatives Of the railroads in re-
gard to rates. The railroad agents, it was
claimed, did not offor as favorable terms at the
meeting last evening as many of those present
had been led to expect. Finally all the railroad
men were excluded from the meeting, and then
one was admitted at time and allowed to mako
his proposition. No definite action was taken.

doubtedly been working the postmasters and
other federal officeholders for all the money
and information that could be gotten out of
them. Postmasters have been informed by
circular letter signed by the officers OF the
committee Just what they are expected to give
toward the campaign and have been furnished
with blanks to be filed. out giving full list of
doubtful voters and susceptible democrats, the
best methods Of reaching them, what republic
can newspapers they would be most likely to
read if furnished free, &c. Some of these let
tiers have fallen into the hands of the demo-
cratic committee and their party newspapers have
been calling upon the United States marshal to
bring the committee before the courts for q vi
olation OF the civil service law. Nothing has
been done, however, and it is not likely that
anything will be done.
In this state. although protection and tariff
reform are the chief sues, the force bill is one
of the favorite arguments. There are many
citizens in the state who have had slight taste
of reconstruction, while many others remem-
Der when they were compelled to prove their
loyalty before they were allowed to vote. With
these the force bill is quite issue and they do
not relish the possibility of such a measure.
State issues play quite a prominent part in
campaign speeches and special state literature
In the Wheeling district the iron and glass
workers were both compelled to suffer a reduc-
ton in wages this summer and the result is that
quite q great many who we're formerly enthusi-
astic high-tarif republicans are now only luke
warm in the support Of the ticket or are out
spoken in their opposition to it. Democratic
quiet workers are giving these fellows a great
deal Of attention and may be able TO win few
votes.
THE SECRET BALLOT.
The voting at this election will be by secret
ballot under plan similar in most respects to
the Australian system in use elsewhere. In all
city districts Of this state the new method will
increase the cost Of election very considerably,
but il will have the effect Of insuring an abso-
lutely free vote and a fair count. In connec-
ton with this new ballot law there is q system
Of semi registration that does not seem to be
very generally understood by the voters. Com
mittees have taken the matter in charge, how
ever, and with their polling lists have succeeded
In getting nearly all the voters registered. The
absence Of q voters name from the assessors
list does not preclude the possibility Of his vot-
ing, but 1t makes it necessary that he shall
prove his qualifications. There has been con-
| siderable discussion as to who will be the bene-
hciaries Of the Australian system. The new
plan requires that voter shall be able to read
| and write or that he shall acknowledge himself
defective to the judges and allow them to pre-
rare his ballot The only question IL a. to
whether there are more ignorant black rspub-
