FORCED INTO CONGRESS,

He was drafted for his one term in
office, and In circumstances testifying
to the very strong hold he had, and has,
on the admiration and affections OF his
neighbors. 1t was in 1876. The mem
ber of the house from the Louisville
district had died and the vacancy was
to be filed. A great contest over the
result Of the presidential election was
coming on In congress. and the Demo-
Gratis, 1t was seen, would stand in need
of all the clear heads and stout hearts
they could command. Mr.. Tilden, to
whom Mr.. Watterson had already rem
dered great service. and who trusted
him implicitly, wanted him elected to
the house, and so did the Louisville
Democracy, to a man. The tender Of
the place was made In this tone of
SEMI command, and Mr.. Watterson
yielded, and, of course, was easily
elected.
At that famous session Of congress,
when the electoral commission was Or
dered. Mr.. Watterson was much in use-
full evidence. He championed Mr.. TIL
den's cause with great earnestness, in
sisted that he had been elected, and
that he should be seated. He exertad
himself to the utmost to bring about
Mr.. Tilden's Inauguration. But when
cepted the situation without further
protest. and gave his influence toward
the peaceable carrying out Of the COM
MISSIONS decision. The peace of the
country, he said. was to be put above
all paftisan disappointment.
NcMing else engaged his attention
while In office. So Indifferent was he,
indeed. to miner matters connected
with his place that one Of the most
amusing experiences grew out OF 1t. He
got letter one day from an old lady
living In Tennessee, who had known
him when he was a lad, asking him to
send her some garden seeds. The let
ter was q puzzle to Mr.. Watterson, and
he handed 1t to General Garfield, who
was n near neighbor in the house, for
an explanation.

ANOTHER MARRIOTT.

Another vice-president, Andrew
Johnson. whom the death of the presi-
dent sent to the higher Office, made
trouble for the party which elected him
and for himself by his hostility to 1t on
the leading issue Of its policy. How
ever, johnson was nominated as O war
Democrat, and not as Republican.
He never claimed to be a Republican,
and nobody who voted for him did so
on the assumption that he was one or
that he pretended to be one. The as
semblage Of 1864 which nominated Lin
coin and johnson was called Union
convention, and the call under which
1t met was addressed to those who de
sire unconditional maintenance of the
union, the supremacy of the constitu-
tion, and the complete suppression Of
the existing rebellion, with the cause
thereof, by vigorous war and all apt
and efficient means" The platform
which the convention adopted made no
mention Of the Republican party by
name, though probably three -fourths
Of the delegates to the convention and

Illinois, Resigns and supports Bryan,

Rev. Isaac w. Higgs has resigned
the nomination OF the National party
for governor of Illinois, and has ac-
companied his resignation with an ad-
dress to his party from which the fol-
lowing Is taken:
Il am also constrained to say that
I shall cast my vote and influence In
support of the Chicago Democratic
platform and its candidates, and would
be glad to nave every Nationalist In
the state do the same. as / believe that,
Eext to the National party, the Demo-

raicnment of the great corporations

The labor organizations took prompt
action in ~denouncing the outrage, the
papers were full of threats from the
people to stop their patronage of Craw-
ford's store and such a storm was rasied
about CraWfOrd's ears as he never
heard before. Tuesday afternoon, realiz-
ing that discretion is the better part Of
valor, Crawford published a letter Of re-
pentance in The Dispatch, in
which he says:
Il have invited all of the men to re-
turn to my store and to occupy their

dice as regards the future, and without

There were four masked robbers,
mounted and armed. They first rode
to the Office of Agent Thomas, pre-
sImably to demand the money to be
paid as annuity to Sac and Fox indians
next week. Agent Thomas had SAC, 900

Thomas was not in his Office. The rob-
