My Dear Sir & Friend:
I am informed, and to my surprise at
that, that your section of the country is
full of POPULISTS, and that there will be
a large vote for the Populist Ticket. is
such the case? If SO, shall feel very
sorry for the people, and more should the
the Populist Ticket win. I do not know
what your politics are, and do not intend
to ask you to vote do, but I do not
wi sh you to vote the
POPULIST TICKET.
I hand you herewi tn the Platform of the
Peoples Party, and the attached sheet,
showing what effect it will have should
the ''Pops'' win. AS for myself, I shall
vote for that brave, honest and fearless
man, Hon. Knute Nelson, our present Cover

Yours very truly,

W.sHixGTox. Dee. 4.-When the sen
ate convened at noon today the senators
showed a desire to enter without delay
upon the real business OF the session.
Blanchard. OF Louisiana, offered reso-
luton reciting the circumstances under
which the sugar bounty was cut of at
ter the sugar crop was put in. Ii DIR
ectee the committee on appropriations
to include in the urgency deficiency bill
a SUN sufficient to pay the bounty for
the present year. The bill went over.
Vest. Of Missouri. offered an amend
ment to the rules. with the view OF cut
ting off protracted debates in the senate.
1t provides that after the measure has
been debated thirty days. il will be in
order for any senator to move to nix
day for final vote. This motion rs to
be put without debate or delay. and. If
carried, the original question is to be
voted on at the time fixed. Vest said he
would address the senate tomorrow on
the need OF this reformatory rule.
ot 1udssuehubSteS, ohSiS' -
resolution, which was adopted without
dissent. calling on the secretary OF the
navy for the official letter OF Admiral
Walker while in command OF the United
States navy vessels at Hawaii. Lodge
raised another international question by
a resolution calling on the president for
the correspondence concerning Blue
fields, and for information concerning
the attitude Of Nicaragua. The resolu-
tion was adopted without comment.
Quay, Of Tennessee. offered resolu-
tion of respect to the memory Of Myron
B. Wright, late member OF congress-
from Pennsylvania, and az further re-
spect to the deceased the senate ad-
journed.
The session OF the house was exceed.
ingly dull and uuinteresting. The at
tendance was small and there was nc
clash OF any kind. A bill providing Tor
the dedication OF the Chickamauga and
Chattanooga parks in September, 1896
and for the establishment Of a national
military park on the site Of the battle Of
Shiloh were passed. The remainder Of
the day was devoted to fruitless discus
sion Of the printing bills.

W WASHINGTON IN WARTIME.
Constant Suspicion of Secret Plotting
in the City.

Constant suspicion of Secret Plotting
in the City.
Noah Brooks, who was newspaper cor
respondent at Washington during the
war time, and who was admitted to an
unusual degree of intimacy with Lincoln
has chapter of "reminiscences in the No
vember number of The Century. Mr..
Brooks says:
1t is impossible in these days, SO remote
from the excitements of the civil war to
give readers of the later generation any
adequate idea of the uneasiness that per-
vaded Washington, or of the morbid SEN
sationalism which characterized the con-
versation and conduct of the loyalists
who were constantly haunted by suspic-
ions of secret plotting all around them.
One evening, while l was sitting with
the President in his cabinet, Prof. Henry,
then in charge of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, came in for social chat with he
President. The conversation ran upon
various unimportant themes, and pres
emily a card was brought in by the door
keeper, who said that the man in waiting
was extremely urgent to see the Presi-
dent. as he had matters of pressing i'm
portance to communicate. He was
brought into the room, and proved to be
modest shopkeeper whose home was not
far from the Smithsonian institution.
CHANGING uneasily at the Presidents
two visitors, whom he evidently did not
know, he said his business was very i'm
portant and should be kept secret. The
President assured him that Prof. Henry
and myself were to be trusted with any
business of state, however secret it might
be, and genially encouraged his visitor to
speak out without fear of being betrayed
in case the weighty matter which he car
ried in his mind was of an explosive char
acter.
The man then went on to say that he
had frequently observed lights shown
from one of the towers of the Smith
sonian institution late at night He had
noticed that these lights invariably made
their appearances about the same time
(at midnight), and he was confident
that the person displaying them was car
rying on contraband correspondence
with the rebels by means of signals.
The President, with great gravity,
closely examined the witness, but ELECTED
nothing more from him than the fact
that the lights We're actually shown.
The President said, DO you suspect
anybody in the Smithsonian institu-
tion?a
No. replied the witness, = do not
know anybody inside of that institution.
ButI hafe hs1=z hat Pr ary Is
Southern man and rebel sympathizer.
With hat the President turned to Prof.
Henry and. with admirable command of
countenanee, said: .This is Prof Henry;
perhaps he Will be able to answer for him
self. The look of disnay on the counte-
nance of the visiting witness was so
grotesque that the President could not
retain his laughter. Prof. Henry, who
was somewhat disturbed by this express
sion of suspicion on the part of the WELL
