! Col. Henderson's candidacy for
the Speakership is having a t ig |
boom, aid his friends are claim
ing that his election is already
practically assured. Representa-
tive Babcock, Of Wisconsin, whose
familiarity with things Congress
sional and his known opposition
to making claims for effect, said
of the. Speakership campaign:
''The action 1.-THE Wisconsin DEL
egation means that Col. Hender-
son will be recognized as the only
western delegate within thirty
days, and practically rssures his
election as speaker. Michigan
will declare for him, when its DEL
egation meets, next week, as will
Indiana, and there is no doubt
where Minnesota now stands.
We will get Ohio also,< and the
Speakership will be decided long
before Congress meets" Friends
of other candidates do not, of
course, admit all tho claims made
by the friends of Col. Henderson,
but they all admit the existence
of Henderson boom.
| Another old-time democrat. who
sees nothing ahead of his party
but overwhelming defeat is ex-
Representative Weadock:: of Mich.
who is i'm Washington on buiness.
He said of the political outlook:
Il do not see wherin there is any
solid ground for hope of demo-
cratic success as long as present
conditions continue. It must be
levident to every we'll informed
student Of politics that the men
who upheld the democracy in
times past. who represented the
brains, dignity and true worth of
the party, are now in their: tents.
They are going to remain in them
too. a long while, before they will
Ijoin hands with the populistic
crowd that took possession in '96,
and who have made shipwreck of
a great political organization.
The talk of healing the breach be-
tween the factions is idle, for there
can be no basis of agreement be-
tween those who uphold the doc
trines promulgated at Chicago
and those who are loyal to the
time honored principles of the
democratic party"
The business of the q. s. Pat
ent Office is q barometer of the
progress and prosperity of the
country. Although applications
for patents are more numerous
than ever before, the business
of the patent Office has been
brought so nearly up to date by
Commissioner Deull that patents
are often granted in from four to
! six weeks. The old and widely
known Patent firm of A. @. Snow
& Go. with a record Of having OBJ
tanned more than 10000 patents
for inventors, and with clients in
every city, town, and village in
: the. country, paid Commissioner
Duell a hi Oh compliment when
they said that never in their
twenty-five years practice before
the patent Office have applications
; for patents been so promptly and
J intelligently acted upon as now:
l Hon. Webster Davis, Assistant
ISecretary of the interior, is now
known as one of the country's
greatest;orators, although he is
comparatively 3 young man. Fol-
lowing is an extract from his Dec
GRAFTON Day Grafton at Arlington
! Cemetery: Yes, as these surviv-
ors march on Decoration Day, by
looking closely you can see be-
