The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1894-08-28
Washington Letter.

Houses to that effect yesterday.
The President has not signed the
bill yet, and the opinion is general
among the members of Congress
that he will not sign it, but that
the bill will become law without
the Presidents signature. If Mr..
Cleveland had intended to veto the
bill it is believed that he would
have done so before now, so as to
put an emf to the uncertainty
about the matter in business cir
cles. That he could not sign it
after his letter to Mr.. Wilson,
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, seems obvious, and
that he would not permit an init
nation of inconsistency to prevent
the measure from becoming law
was not believed, in view of the
consequences which would have
been likely to follow such action
on his part. He has done what he
could to make the bill conform
more to the Wilson bill and to the
Democratic pledges than the Sen
ate bill does, but it wasn't expect
ed that he conld afford to place
his party and the country in the
unpleasant predicament that would
follow failure of this Congress to
pass some kind of tariff bill.
Deferring adjournment until
Tuesday, seems to promise that no
message, as at first expected, will
be sent to Congress at this session
by the President touching the tar
iff, but he will most assuredly have
something to say about it when he
sends his annual message to Con
gress in December.
The President has approved the
general deficiency bill.
Yesterday the Civil Service Com
mission completed their report in
the case of G. H. J. Taylor, Recor-
der of Deeds for the District of
Columbia, who has been charged
with soliciting and receiving con
tributions for campaign purposes.
The report was UNANIMOUSLY APP
proved and signed by the Commits
sioners and will be sent to the
President to-day. His removal
will be asked for, no doubt.
The nomination of the Hon. 10
NJ. Kendall for Congress, was well
received in the House and in
Washington. Mr.. Kendall made
many friends when he was here be-
fore, and was very popular. What
we need in Congress is young blood |
men who are abreast of |
the times, and / am sure if 10
Kendall is sent here he will put life
into his work and come to the
front in little while. The Demo-
Gratis of the old Tenth should rally
to the support of 10 Kendall and
send him to the big House on the
hill with a rousing majority. Send
him here with the largest majority
ever given in the District. A very
prominent man in Congress said
that if 10 Kendall is sent to Con-
gress he will soon be one of the
leading lights among the young
members of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Kendall did some good work
for his District when he was here
before, without experience, and
now having had some experience
in the Nations great law scholl, he
is sure to do more. A man to make
a good legislator must have some
experience, in his trade. 1t is
like every other vocation. Put
man in printing office to setting
type, and without experience he
would ma Ike poor progress; it is
the same in Congress. A man
must learn the way, or he won't be
sin it," 10 Kendall was with his
father here, and having served a
term himself he knows the "ropes"
as the phrase goes.
