The Moving of the Old Commercial House


The old Commercial House, which
MI. Washington Libby is moving
through the streets, proceeded along St.
John street short distance yesterday
and then was stopped until next Thurs
day, when new shoes will be put under
it,. Ithas so far been the great spectac-
ular show of the town and will continue
to excite more or less interest probably,
especially when it moves out onto Con
gress street to cross the Maine Central
tracks and go along beside the rails of
the Horse Railroad Company. The old
building was source Of much trouble
long before Mr.. Libby undertook to
move it in an one days job for one
days price. First and last much rum
was sold in it and the curious, numerous
and ingenious closets which distin-
guish it were made for the purposes of
this traffic. 1t may be that the house, !,
old reputation is the Hoodoo that is
giving Mr.. Libby and his OK team SO
much trouble.

Conception. Services were held in the

cialy impressive Right Rev. Bishop A.
Van dc Nyver celebrated solemn pontif-
cal mass, and Father McKeefery preached
an eloquent sermon on the feast of the
day The music was unusually fine. The
choir rendered Kallawoda's beautiful mass

Professors Jacob Reinhardt and Henry

latter on the violin. and the celebrated
tenor NidrawOcbey: while Mr. NJ b.
Leonard. the organist, was enabled to lend
his grand bass voice to the choir I'M
tramelled by other duties. Mrs. c. OBJ.

The press and the Caucus.

II was an error OF judgment on the part
Of Chairman Ryan to yield to the persua-
sion OF those members OF the Democratic
caucus who asked him not TO allow the
publication in the newspapers OF the roll
calls on the senatorial nomination.
Reporters OF the Democratic press had
been allowed to enter the caucus han
upon the understanding that they would
only publish what the chairman consented
should be published. Thus they were put
60 vastly greater disadvantage than W
they had not gone into the hall. In the
lobby Il was well-known how every mem
Der hat voted. and any shrewd reporter
would have had no difficulty In making up
roll for himself. but supposing that the
official rolls were accessible. none OF 'hein
resorted 20 this expedient
TO suppress the Information is OF course
impossible and II Is remarkable that any
member should have wished II done. For
his own part. Mr.. Ryan. we know. did
not desire that it should be done: his
fault was In yielding his own excellent
judgment TO others.
II Chairman Ryan has not already done
so. we trust that he Will not let slip
another hour before he gives his full,
free and cheerful consent to the publica-
ton Of every caucus-roll. 1t will never do
TO tell the Democratic voters at their dis
tant homes that they must wait Till their
members return there and become subject
to personal interviews before they can
ascertain how those members voted on
the most important question OF the ses-
sion.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 9. 1898
rhe Nommeeg for U. S. Senator.

4
Tho nomination Of General Hunton for
Tho United states Senate for the short
term was exactly what ought TO have
been done. He is a most deserving son OF
the ola Commonwealth, and secured no
more than his due when he received the
nomination which will so happily round
r. his public ufe. We congratulate him
and we applaud the men who unanimously
oonferred this new honor and trust upon
him.
The nomination OF Mir. Martin for the
long term was not expected. we think.
by Tho people az large. General Fitz
Lee seemed 10 De- the popular favorite,
and the general public believed that he
was invmcible. II is now certain how
ever. that his forces were never so well
organized as Mir. Martins, and this and
oyerconhdcuce may account in some mea-
sure for the disappointment which Gene
raj Lees numerous friends so keenly feel.
I'nqu.stionably Mr.. Martin has senate
rial capacity. though he does not excel
as "a speaker. As lawyer he has ca
pacity % master intricate details. to sift
the law. His intellect f. keen; his judg-
mcnt good. and be has capacity to make
friends aria 90 hold them as with hooks OF
atcci His education has been liberal and
De- has served with distinction on impor-
tant party committees. but his name until
lately rarely appeared in public prints.
and ne was not widely known until Mr..
Ia. h..
d'jate for the senatorship under guber-
Material appointment and. we believe.
was endorsed by majority OF the mem
hers Of the General Assembly. The Gov
,rnor, however. appointed General Hun
ton.
As 10 the intimation contained in
letter published In the Times that money
was used 10 secure Mr.. Martins nomna-
tion We must say we do not suspect any
member Of the Legislature of having
sold his vote. II would seem, however.
that powerful extraneous influence was
brought to bear in favor OF MIR Martins
nomination.
II is this belief which causes MUIR
murs OF discomfort. and along with them
tIlItlSm OF tntUlbtfN VINO uy lnelf votes
in this matter have disappointed their
constituents.
These are stings left by the caucus's
action: stings that we should rejoice to
zee removed in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party. and In order that Mr. Mar
tin may more efficiently and acceptably
serve our people in the Senate OF the
United states.
If 1t be true that Mr. Withrow (who
was referred to In the Tlmes's letter.
or any other member of the General AS
sembly knows personally or by informa-
ton received from others of any facts
bearing aipon this point--facts showing
that undue influence was used or sought
10 be used upon any legislator--we trust
that lie will rise in his seat and state
them. Better that this should be done
now openly, boldly, decisively, than that
rumor should 40 unchallenged and our
new Senator's influence be impaired there

McFall and several friends were walking
