though there was a weight on his
head. Saturday he came to the office

his room short time, when he took
piece of paper and wrote for about
five or ten minutes, and then he
folded the paper and put it in his

The Unions Exhibition.
The Union continues to make an
exhibition of itself in discussing the
matter OF sending representative to
Washington, a topic on which it is
walked up considerably. 1t accuses
The ARGUS of attempting to influ-
enee Vice-President Guyer not to
make the appointment of the COM
mittee to send representative to
Washington in the public building
matter, and then urging the commit
tee not to do anything. The latter
assertion is a base fabrication. As
far as Mr.. Guyer is concerned, TIE
ARGUS. after comforting with repre-
sentative members of the associa-
ton and ascertaining their views on
the matter of first referring the
building to someone with in
fluence at Washington. and having
their approval of such cause,
suggested to Mr.. Guyer the propriety
of deferring the appointment of the
committee until the meeting of the
association Wednesday evening of
this week, when the new phase of
the case could be presented. But
Mr.. Guyer, who had presented the
resolutions calling for the commit
tee, was naturally disposed to see it
through. As far as the committee
is concerned. The ARGUS in no sense
approached any of its members, nor
is it oppose d to their mission.
Influences at Washington
1t has no interest in the matter.
except that it believes there are in
fluences at Washington that can be
enlisted in behalf of the building, and
save the money that someone seems
very anxious to be intrusted with to
enjoy trip to Washington.
The Unions suggestion as to Jug
glery having been committed in con-
nection with the buildings present
position on the list is one that has
not presented itself to The ARGUS
before. Of course Congressman
Marsh ought to know about that.
