n. n. Bankard, prominent New York at
torney, is registered at the Normandie. He
is here to represent the large glove industries
OF New York city before the tariff committees
of both houses of Congress.
at is only the honest dealers who are seek
ing to have specific duties placed on such ar
ticleS as gloves, fine silks and other like du-
table goods" said Mr.. Bankard. Hitherto
there has been only an ad valorem duty on
gloves, and the small dealers can fool the
custom-house officers every time on various
shades when the shade makes a large differ
ence in the price. 1 have been very success
ful in my efforts here, and will return to New
York in few days"
Continuing, Nj. Bankard spoke Of the i'm
mense popularity of Senator Hill in New York
city and throughout the state. "The cham
Der OF commerce has never taken any stock in
Hill up to the present time" he said but lately
they have come out in strong Endorsement
of him. The Senator receives daily enormous
quantities OF kilograms congratulating him
on his speeches and the stand he has taken
for pure Democracy. He is the strongest
man in the state at this time"
James n. Veazy. member of the firm of
Frank G. Tullidge Il Co., wholesale whisky
dealers of Cincinnati. was at the Ebbitt house
last night. Mr.. Veazy was partly responsible
for the resolution against the whisky trust,
introduced in the Fifty-sccond Congress BY
Representative Burroughs. and is here now
taking general view Of the tariff situation
and incidentally looking after the affairs Of
his firm.

through all the New England states, and the
CONDITION OF the working people there is de-
plorable. In some of the towns where there
are no industries but tine large mills the
population is entirely dependent upon them
for sustenance. When the mills shut down
as o conquence of the general depression, the
workmen were thrown out of employment
and had nothing to fall back on.
'I tell you," said he, impressively, "the
one place on the continent which does not
feel the tightening of the market and the
break up of commercial enterprises is Wash

cannot be brought face to face with tine pres

before they will see the error of their way

Senator David B. Hill and Col. John s. Nc
EVAN, chief clerk of the Senate, drove down
the line of the Washington and Chesapeake
Beach railroad last Sunday as the guests Of
Capt. H. H. Mattox, general manager Of the
road. The party went as far as Chesapeake
bay, where they were entertained at the camp
of the engineer corps on perch, crabs, and
oysters. Senator Hill ate for the first time of
OF tin plates and under fly tent.
Mr.. Hill expressed surprise at tho progress
made on the construction of the road and was
charmed by the beauty Of the Maryland
scenery. He commented pleasantly upon the
apparent thrift of the people. The Senator
attracted a good deal Of attention along the
route and all who were introduced to him de-
clared themselves Hill Democrats. Mr.. Hill
said he had Investigated the state OF affairs in
Maryland and intended to tell Senators Cor
man and Gibson he knew more about their
state than they did. Everybody who met the
Senator declared in favor Of his nomination
for President IN '96.
The report comes from Ohio that Congress
man Bellamy Storer, of the First district in
that state. will be . candidate before the next
state convention Of his party for Governor.
Mr.. Storer is very popular in his own city
(Cincinnati), and his prospects may grow to
formidable proportions before the time comes
to select the successor to Gov. Mckinley.
Another prominent candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination Is Gen. Warren
Keifer, ex-Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives. Gen. Keifer's friends are push
ing his candidacy, and Of tho many posi-
bilities it is believed his successful outcome
figures prominently
