YOU people of Wisconsin upon your
congressional delegation. They are
all men OF high character and pro-
found wisdom. especially your repre-
sentative, Mr.. Jos. W. Babcock. Some
one has said that ..once in ten thou
sand trials nature makes a man.
then she fills his Uranium with gray
matter, and gives him heart in
which nobleness and humanity is inn
planted, makes him a gentleman.
aifable. courteous and kind. and en-
dows him with traits of character
which command the respect of all
men Jos. W. Babcock is one of the
ten thousand, his friends are legion
from the humblest constituent in his
district to his associates in busnessi
or in high political life, all are drawn
to him on the same generous plane of
true friendship. | have watched his
official life here for six wears. He
has served on our District of Column
ola Committee in the House OF Rep
resentatives with great distinction.
and for four years he has been the
chairman of that committee. Never
before in the past ten years have we
had so many just laws enacted for
the advancement Of our beautiful
city as we have hat through his wise
influence.
He is most interchangeable worker,
which characteristic, combined with
his thorough and methodical business
attachments, produces results which
are marvellous.
A United States Senator said to me
last winter that Babcock possessed
undoubtedly the greatest executive
ability of any man in congress, and
that his power of endurance for work
was simply marvellous. He said "see
what he does, he is at the head of the
District Committee, one of the most
laborous positions in the house. He
is the chairman of the National Re-
publican Congressional Committee,
and has made record unequaled in
the history OF the republican party,
and yet with all these extra duties,
there is no"member Of congress who
does more successful departmental
work for his constituents than he
does His private and official life
here is most exemplary being marked
by the highest order of honesty and
integrity. Wisconsin, caa rel be proud
Of Babcock. G. H.

claims We shall remember our sur
day.
Poor Tiger died last night; if be had
not should have had him killed today.
He took sick on the boat. and although
gave him all knew or could get.
could not get him to eat bite; he got
weaker and weaker. Dogs are a great
care aud they are also q great help,
and they pull larger loads than we ex-
pected Ponto proved mothers
prophesy-did not get bit sea-sick--
and now that he has learned we will
not hit him, when we make a quick
move is lively and playful and is our
best dog.
Now do not expect any more letters
for some time, aybe four weeks after
this. 1t takes some time to get let
ter out of the interior. We are all
right and are going to be all right, al
though if there were anything unusual
to happen, of course would let you
know; for by paying for it yol can
send messenger to town every day,
but this takes money, and you must
call no news good news. So now for
some time we send you a long good
bye.
NEXT DAY:-You will hardly believe

baggage came all right; we have jars
of honey. tomatoes and pickles packed
the evening before we left Lancaster
all in good shape. Take good care of
each other and again a long goodbye.

Charles I. Parker, the colorcd indie
district, has filed in the Circuit Court of
Anne Arundel county petition for man
damus to compel Secretary Of State Dallam
to certify that his name is entitled to be
placed on the official ballot, and the Sec
rotary of State under order of court will
have to show cause by tomorrow.
Rev. S. T. Tice, chairman If the colored
independent movement in this district,
said: We have already secured enough
bona fide signers to replace all those ruled
out by the secretary of State. Both courts
will be resorted to if necessary The SEN
timent is growing in favor of this indie
pendent movement. Since Parker has
been turned down the more intelligent
colored people throughout the district and
State have become disguised with the
white republican managers. If Parker
goes on that ticket he will poll large
vote II he is kept off the same number
will vote against Mudd and many others
We shall do all in our power to get Parker
on the ticket Should we fail, we will add
wise our people to vote for the prohibition
party, stay at home or vote for the demo
cratic ticket.
4 believe, and many others with me-
that it will be to the best interests of the
colored voters to defeat Congressman
Mudd the time will come, and it is near
at hand. when colored men will be no
more ashamed to vote the democratic
ticket openly than the republican ticket
They are going to vote for the best men
regardless of party
