stop deficiencies 'by restoration of
that protective legislation which has
always been the firmest prop of the
treasury They must also give
especial attention to the rcenactmcnt

cease. The party pledge to adopt
measures for the suppression of trusts

in the civil service must go on. Con-

ANYTHING of the kind ever seen in
Washington. About $4,000 had been
expended by the committee in charge
of this work. At All early hour
President Mckinley returned to the
White House.
In many respects this Inauguration
will 60 down to history as cxcelling
all that have come before. The dec
orations in the city, public and pri-
vatc, were more elaborate and bcauti-
iul than any ever seen even in this
city. The magnificent body OF federal
troops was more numerous than any
gathered since Grants display at the
close of the war. Seventeen states
had citizens in parade and over sixty
civil organizations helped to swell its
magnificent proportions. 10 witness
all this display there was Il mighty
gathering of American people in the
capital. The weather was beautiful.

MAGUIRE REPLIES TO JOHNSON.
Explains Why He Came to Attack the Lat
ter i'm The Record.


There was deep silence when Mcguire
rose to reply. He began: Il never print
ed anything, I never asked any man to
print anything. 1 never said anything
anywhere that 1 am not willing to re-
eeat before any man myself. Last week
one of the most remarka BILE, indecent
malicious speeches 1 ever heard any
where was made here against a man
absent from this place, not even able
to lift up his voice to say nay in this
presence" He related that he had pre-
pared the addition to his speech to
which johnson objected: had endeavor-
ed to get recognition Friday and Satur-
day to deliver it, and on Monday had
asked the speaker if be could not de-
liver it as a matter of personal privi-
lege. but had been refused. In the part
of the speech to which Johnson objected
no one could find anything unparlia-
mentary, but the description fitted
johnson as the man who had so cow
ardly attacked the boyhood of ano her
He read the charges made by johnson
against Hearst and emphatically de-
clared them false. Continuing. he said
some very complimentary things of
Hearst's newspaper in New York, char
acterizing 1t as the greatest newspaper
on earth. This part of his speech evoked
a chorus Of groans from the house and
amid much laughter Mcguire con-
Guided.
The house was still buzzing with ex-
citement when Poole. the member from
Syracuse, Johnson's old home moved
to expunge Maguire's remarks from
The Record. Poole explained that he
and johnson had been schoolmates fifty
years ago. He described johnson as a
man of excellent family and a bright
scholar as a boy, and he also alluded
briefly to his trouble when he was in
dicted for forgery. But. said he 1--WE
knew he would redeem himself and he
did. An attempt to have Johnson's
remarks also stricken out was defeated,
as was one to refer the matter to the
committee on rules. Maguire's remarks
were then stricken out. The only other
matter of interest in the house was that
the speaker sustained the point of order
against recommitting the Pacific rail-
ways funding bill.

BUILT UP A NAME TO BE PROUD OF,
In Spite of His Youthful lndiscretion-
This Person Called Hearst

Continuing he told how ever since
1870 he had returned each year to SYRIA
cuse and had been received there at the
scene Of his youthful indiscretion. He
told of the honors he had been accorded
in California. where the story was
known; but it had remained "for the

johnson continued. he had been again
nominated, and although the bitterest
fight ever known had ben made against
him he had carried every election dis
trict in Sacramento. and had carried
the county by 1900.
He had ben most viciously attacked
by editorials and caricatures caily by
this person called Hearst" The honored
speaker OF the house and Boutelle had
been similarly attacked, while visiting
California last summer, but the attacks
OF a brook besides Niagara, compared
with those on him. He said copies of
the paper had been sent to his (John-
son's) wife while she lay on a bed of
sickness in danger of death, and the
caricatures and editorials had been put
In envelopes as correspondence, that sh,,
might not fail to get them. He asked:
lis 1t wonderful that l struck back
when the opportunity came? Is there
any man who would do less except the
gentleman from California. James G.
Maguire?"
He knew he would be attacked. but
did not expect to be in such an in
