FEDERAL ELEcTIoN BILL


- &<<1@F<*&I-
WAsHISoroS, Dec. IA renewal Of
the discussion on the Hawaiian ques-
ton based on Mr.. Hoar's resolution OF
Monday wac expected to be the feature
OF today's session OF the senate; but. in
Difference to the desire of Mr.. Cullom to
make a speech against the bill for the
repeal OF the federal election law tho
resolution was not laid before the senate
before the close OF the mornings rou-
tine business, and was allowed TO 20
over until tomorrow. accompanied with
a statement from Mr.. Hoar that he was
willing 10 let IL be referred 20 the COM
mittee on foreign relations The proba-
bilIty ia. therefore. that when the reso-
luton will be laid before the senate TO-
morrow il will be referred as indicated:
but not until after Mr.. Frye has ex-
pressed his views--as he minated an
intention OF doing.
Dir. Cullom's speech against the re.
peal Of the federal election laws oc-
cupied nearly two hours In delivery.
His illusions to election practices in
New York and particularly to Judge
Maynard's action. led to a somewhat
entertaining colloquy between Mr.. CuI-
lom and AIR. Hill in which Mr.. Hill re-
pudiated the idea that the action of Mr..
Maynard had affected the question of
the election OF Mr.. Murphy as United
States senator. and declared that Judge
Maynard had been. and was his. Mr..
Hills. friend.
Mr.. Steward declared himself opposed
to the federal elections laws and then
made a speech on the question Of the
gold standard-a speech quite similar
TO tho numerous ones made by him at
the last extraordinary session.

the field. He had received a majority
o. the votes cast in the primary cleo
ton, and while much bitter feeling had
been manifested, he still stood as the
choice of the law-abiding citizens. He
then proceeded to review the issuewhich
had been going on for the past ten days
over the proceedings of the first con-
vention from his standpoint, snl said
three of the ten members Of the State
democratic committee had decided that
Mr.. Charles Bendheim was the regular
nominee of the party. He wanted to
see harmony in the party he had no
personal ambition to crafty; he mere
ly desired to see if the people of Alex
andria city and county intended sub
hitting to the action of a minority in
making nomination. He had on sew
eral occasions offered to Withdraw and
make room for compromise candidate,
but no such proposition had
come from Mr.. Bendheim's or
bis friends. He stood before his
fellow citizens protesting against the
action of the remnant of the first
cOuFtHtiOH III udAinS uohiholioh'
He concluded by saying he felt great
interest in the democratic party, fav-
ored all the resolutions which mad been
adopted, said he believed lie was the
choice of the people, and appreciated
the honor conferred upon him, but in
the interest of the party to which he
belonged, he must respectfully decline
the nomination.
The concluding sentence of Mr.. Ca
toms speech rather took both the dele
gates and spectators by surprise and it
was received with applause.
A motion to adjourn sine die without
making a nomination was subsequently
made and carried, and the hall was soon
after vacated.
This evening Mr.. Bepdheim called on
Mr.. Cation and expressed the warmest
gratitude at his action. The two had
a most friendly talk, which showed
That no bitterness of feeling existed be-
tween them. The democrats now feel
that they have united party again and
that they will defeat any opposition.
Mr.. Caton during the evening has
been warmly congratulated for the
magnapimous course be has pursued by
many of the most prominent citizens.

vocation as a knight of the razor with
the late Harrison Jacobs in this city.
and who has since been capillary
abridger, professor of crinicultural alb
session and chronological tripsis in Lees
burg, passed through this city this week
on his way to Warrenton, which town
his striped pole will cmbellish in the
future. John says Lecsburg is poor
place for tonsorial artist. II is hoped
the populist craze has not taken such 8
hold in Warrenton as to induce the dis
ciples of Senator Refer TO initiate him
by wearing patriarchal boards.
