WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Tariff Bill stin Hangs Fire.-Coxey's
Chances For Congress.
JUNE 29.-Representatiye Mccall, Of
Massachusetts, in a sarcastic minority
report of the house committee on cleo
tiOns against the unseating Of Represen-
tatiye Funston, Of Kansas, hits the dem
Ocrats some stinging blows for their par
tisanship in disposing Of this and all
other election cases. He concludes with
these words: In such cases a contest ap-
pears to be an idle as well as an expens-
i've formality. If a standing rule were
adopted that in all cases where the plu-
rality was less than two hundred votes Il
should be deemed insufficient unless the
cOntestee were democrat, much time
might b. saved and useless expenditure
Of mOrey avoided, and, while the fund.-
mental principles Of the constitution
would be violated, precisely the same
practical results would be reached as I'M
der the system prevailing during the pres
ent session and we would have the ad-
vantage Of being openly bad, instead of
hypOcritically bad"
COxey is again in Washington. He
says that he has assurances that his can
didacy for congress will be endorsed by
the democratic convention of his district,
1--WE only hope they WILL" said a mem-
ber Of the republican congressional CAM
paign committee; their endorsement
cannot elect COxey, but it will elect at
least twenty republican members Of the
house IN doubtful districts"
The senate has not yet passed the tar
in bill, ana at this writing it does not
seem probable that II will do so before
next week. There has been any number
Of rumOrs aiOat this week about defcc-
tiOns that might result in the defeat of
the bill, but the probabilities are that
when the final vote is taken every demo-
crat, including Senator Hill, and all of
the pOpuiists, with the possible exception
Of Stewart, will vote for the bill. II is
certain that fight will be made on
many OF the senate amendments in con-
ference and that some Of them will be
changed.

Congressman BesIeged by Coxeyites for
Money with which to Return to Their
Homes.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Pressure Of
an unforeseen and undesired sort is be-
ing brought to bear upon members of
congress by the various industrial
armies encamped about Washington.
The novelty of the presence of these
unique organizations has departed, and
consequently local donations of provi-
sions have fallen off until the men are
in a pitiable condition for want of food.
Every day the lobbies are besieged by
deserters from Coxey, Fitzgerald, Gal
vim and Frye, who are wearied Of husks
and anxious TO return home.
Naturally they come to the congress
men from their states for assistance.
In some cases members have yielded TO
their charitable impulses and furnished
funds for the purpose, thereby estab-
fishing a precedent which encouraged
other needy Coxeyites to apply. Ohio
members are the greatest sufferers in
this way, and the demands upon them
are more than they can meet.

he has since practiced his profession and
has we'll earned the distinction Of being
one Of the bright lights of the Richland
county bar. He is a natural orator, a
gifted and eloquent speaker, an earnest
advocate and an able counsellor.
Mr.. Kerr's first appearance in politics
was in 1880 when he was nominated by
the republicans of Richland county for
prosecuting attorney. At that time re-
publican nominations in Richland county
were mere fOrmalities with democratic
majority as insurmOuntable as a Chinese
wall. His opponent was James P. Sew
ard, who was challenged by Mr.. Kerr for
Joint debate, which Mr.. Seward was
shrewd enough to decline. Mr.. Kerr was
a candidate before the state senatorial
convention in 1885, at which the Hon.
Charles G. COdding, Of Medina, was NOM
mated. In 1887, after a memorable con-
test, Mr.. Kerr was nominated for state
senator for this joint senatorial district
and was elected. He was reelected in
1889 with the Hon. George Hildebrand, of
Ashland, the district at that period being
entitled TO two senators. Mr.. Kerr's abil-
ity as a legislator made him cOnSpicu-
Ous member Of the senate, in viii lch he
was regarded as leader, and there he
gained that experience which qualities
him for the high Office to which he now
aspires.
Mr.. Kerr married miss Susie 4. Barr,
daughter Of Samuel Barr, Of Lucas, in
