A DEFENDER OF ROBERTS.
- clared Him acknowledgement
as Foraker.

MCCoNNELLsvILLE, O., Dec. 4.-Hon.
John @. Abbott, who represented this
district in the Ohio senate for years as
a Republican, is home after spending a
year in Utah as member of the Ute
Indian commission. Ex-senator Abbott
said: (.
81 am in favor of giving Congressman
Roberts his seat because I know. him to
be morally pure man. Roberts was a
member of the constitutional conven-
ton in Utah which prohibited polyg-
amy in the future. He was one of the
most active advocates of the abolition Of
polygamy. He did not believe, how
ever. that 1t would be right for men who
had been led by a wrong rehgioa to take
unto themselves several wives to cast
them all off save one when polygamy
was abolished. He believed that those
VINO had more than one wife should
care for them as before and sustain them
in the relations of matrimony into which
they had entered. Under the circum-
stances believe this was right.
Roberts is one of the most able men
in all this country. He is as eloquent as
Foraker and as clean politically as any
statesman Ohio has ever brought forth.
He arose from the humble walk of a
blacksmith to his present position. I
believe he is entitled to his Seat and
should have it,"

McElroy, of Ohio, and chaplain, Rev.
Henry Couden, of Michigan. Colonel
Russell was not a candidate for re-elec-
ton. and Colonel Henry A. Casson, of
Wisconsin, was nominated in his stead.
At the Democratic caucus the first
ballot resulted: Richardson, 43; Dear
mond, SO; Bankhead, "a, and Sulzer, 35.
The four following ballots showed little
change. At the end of the fifth ballot
Mr.. Underwood OF Alabama Withdrew
MIR. Bankhead's name, and on the first
roll call of the sixth ballot about two.
thirds of Mr.. Bankhead's supporters
went to Richardson.
At the end of the first roll-call the
vote stood: Richardson 90, DeArmcnd
40, and Sulzer 20. Before the second
roll.oall began Mr.. Sulzer withdrew and
asked his friends to vote for Richard
son. There was general stampede to
the Tennessean. and he was nominated
on the sixth ballot, receiving 90 votes,
against AZ for DeArmond, and 2 for
Sulzer. The nomination was then made
unanimous.
The following candidates for house
officers were selected: Clerk, James
Kerr. Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-arms,

BRYAN VERY CONFIDENT. EN-!
Said It woutd Only Be Question OF
the Size of the Democratic
Majority.

GALVESTON. Dee. 4.-Hon. w. j.
Bryan, who is here with Ex-Governor
Hogg on an outing, spoke at some
length on next years campaign. Mr..
Bryan stated that the Democrats will
make great gains next year among the
wage classes. of people. He further said
in part:
1T will not be question of whether
or not the Democrats can win, but how
large the majority will be. I have. no
fear for the outcome. The recent elec.
tions to an unbiased mind plainly indi-
cate that the Democrats had the better
of it in nearly all states in which elec.
tions were held. In Ohio, Mr.. McKin-
ley's home state, is the Democratic gain
more clearly shown than anywhere else,
except in Maryland and Nebraska. The
vote given Jones was anti-Republican,
and had he not been in the race it most
assuredly would have gone TO Mclean.
Next year, with the present ratio of in.
crease, Ohio will go Democratic by a safe
majority"
He said tie Republicans would like
to cover him with the glory Of person
ally winning the fight in Nebraska,
but the truth of the matter was the
people of Nebraska had been awakened.
They proposed to throw off the yoke OF
a single money standard and niihtar1sn,
And not only in Nebraska was it the case,
but ne found from both personal investi
CATION and from thoss who are in a po
sition to know that the people in many
sections ct other states heretofore
strongly Republican were ike-minded.

ELECTION CASE CONES UP TODAY.
Eastern Kentucky Republicans Deter
mined to Back the Taylor End of the
Contest-Armed Democrats to Look
After Goebers Interests.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 4.-There are
over 800 armed and determined Repub-
hcans in Frankfort from Eastern Ken
lucky, men who have regulations of be-
ing handy at gun r,ay. and it is stated
upon reliable authority that special
train with five new companies of uni
formed militia from Eastern Kentucky
will reach here, accompanied by at
least 300 citizens armed with Colts ASS.
They are expected to stay here till
Dec. 13, which is the day after the one
fixed by law for the Inauguration of the
governor. The state arsenal is still in
charge of the Republican members Of
the local military company, and guns
and ammunition can be supplied to The
expected militia without delay.
These men are coming with the
evowed purpose of seating Taylor as
governor. On the other hand, at least
500 fighting Democrats from all parts Of
the state are expected here to join the
100 already here. Commissioners are
not awed or bluffed into giving Taylor
the certificate unless he is entitled to it.
Besides tomorrow is what is known as
"county court day" in Frankfort, and
that day always draws a crowd of from
800 to 1000 farmers to town, and the
large majority of them are known as
"fightin' Democrats"
FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 4.-The state
board of election commissioners Of Ken.
lucky was scheduled to meet today
to canvass the returns from the last
state election and to decide whether
Goebel or Taylor is entitled to the GER
tificate Of election as governor. There
is not much probability that the matter
will be settled to-day and it may be
Wednesday or later before certificate
is issued. Both sides express them.
selves as confident but no one can pre-
di CT with accuracy the decision which
will be arrived at by the board.
The certified returns from the county
boards on file with the secretary of
state give Taylor plurality of 2,435
but the Democrats declared that enough
of these votes would be thrown out
and that Goebel will be awarded the
certificate. The Kentucky election law
is capable of divers constructions, and
the definite conclusion of the board will
rest very largely upon how its members
decide to construe certain portions of
the statute.
Extra policemen have been sworn in.
LONDON, KY, Dec. 4.-Iti is announced
that more than 1000 citizens from
Laurel, Knox, Whitley and Clay coun.
ties will go to Frankfort this week to
watch the proceedings of the state board
of election commissioners, and these
visiting statesmen will include leaders
of both the Baker and White factions
in Clay county who may get together at
the state capital.

procedure which is designed to prevent
MIR. Roberts from taking the oath OF
office until after the charges in connec.
ton with his alleged polygamous prac.
tices have been investigated bya special
committee. Mr.. Taylor of Ohio will
make the objection to the administration
of the oath to Mr.. Roberts and will offer
resolution to refer his case to the com.
mittee.
The announcement of Vice President
Hobart's death will be made probably
after the Roberts case is disposed of and
the house will adjourn out OF respect to
his memory. The drawing of seats and
the reading Of the presidents message
will occupy tomorrow. Tuesday night
the Republicans will caucus on the
financial bill. 1t is the intention of the
Republican leaders to make this a eau
Gus measure and proceed and pass it be-
fore the holiday recess. The caucus will
decide, if the present intention is fol-
lowed, not to wait for the appointment
of the committee on banking and cur
rency, but to bring the bill into the

cIaI order from the comm..ee on rules.
The debate may begin "wednesday.
While the session promises to be upon
the whole busy one in the senate the
first week probably will be marked by
considerable lethargy. Indeed, it would
be exceptional if any actual work
should be done. On Monday new Sem
ators will be sworn in, but beyond this
nothing probably will be done. Ordi-
narily the Presidents message is re-
celved on the first day of the session,
but its receipt will be postponed for
day this session out OF respect to the
memory of the late Vice President
Hobart, whose death Senator Sewall
will announce. Tomorrow little will
be done beyond the receipt of the an
nual message, the present purpose be.
ing TO adjourn Immediately after the
reading OF the message to give the Re-
publican Senators an opportunity to
bold caucus over the reorganization of
the committees. Wednesday and
Thursday likely will be devoted largely
to the introduction of bills. There
probably will be no session either Fri.
day or Saturday.
Among the first bills likely to be in
troduced will be the financial measure
prepared by the Republican members of
the finance committee. It will be Of
fered by Senator Aldrich, and will be
referred to the whole finance committee,
including the Democratic members.
While comparatively little time will
be spent in the senate chamber during
the early days of the session, much at
tention likely will be paid to getting
ready for the important matters to re-
celve attention later. These include the
financial bill, the policy to be pursued
in the Philippines and Cuba, the form
OF government to be provided for Ha-
wall and the ratification of the various
reciprocity treaties negotiated during
the recess, Porto Rico and the seating
of senators appointed by governors. Up
to date only one senatorial appointment
has been made. This is in the case of
Senator Quay, but If he is seated there
will be an effort to fill the vacant seats
from Utah, California and Delaware by
the same method. There is unusual in.
terest in Mr.. Quay's case.
CaucuseS were held Saturday night
by the Republicans and Democrats to
select candidates for the speakership.
The former selected David B. Hender-
son of Iowa and the latter James D.
Richardson Of Tennessee. The Republi-
cans also decided to re.enact the Reed
rules.
The officers OF the last house, except
Colonel Russell, the sergeant-at-arms,
were renominated without opposition as

SECOND GLASS MAIL ABUSE,
Postmaster General Smith Asked Con.
Eress, In His Report, to Remedy
the Matter

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The annual re-.
port of Postmaster General Charles EN-.
ory Smith was made public. Its chief
feature was plea for congressional &C.
ton to stop the abuse Of second class mail
privileges, which he said results in an
annual waste of upwards of $50. 1000. 900.
The finalcial exhibit for the fiscal year
showed total expenditures Of $1O1. .632, 161
and total receipts of 800, ,021 1884, the de.
ficiency being $2,422, TAT less than last
year.
Regarding our new possessions the
postmaster general said in part:
'The presence of United States troops
in the new island possessions and Cuba
in constant communication with home.
constrained the establishment of mail
facilities for their needs and the prac-
tical obliteration of the old local postal
system with the extinguishment of
Spanish authority compelled recon-
structlon OF the whole service for the
requirements of the native popula.
tion."

Former Protestant Episcopal Clergyman
Received In the Roman Church.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Rev. DR.. Benja-
min F. De Costa who, in September
last, resigned the rectorship of the Pro.
testant Episcopal church of st. John
the Evangelist, was Sunday received
into the Boman Catholic church. The
ceremony took place in the chapel of the
Academy of the Sacred Heart.
DR.. De Costa, being a married man, is
therefore not eligible to the priesthood
in the Roman Catholic church.
The prospects are that he will return
to literature and devote himself to writ
ing and lecturing.
DR.. DeOosta took prominent part in
the controversy over the ordination of
MIR. Briggs few months ago. He was
bitter opponent of the latter.
DR.. De Costa prepared for publication
a statement in justification of his
course, in which he takes strong
grounds on the Bible question, holding
that the Roman Catholic church is the
true Bible church.

claring that the committee had not re-

that it was proper for congress to inves.

"STOP THIEF!"

It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry OF
"stop thief" and so putting the public
on false scent.
There is certain kind OF advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to nan in con-
sultation about disease Women
should write to woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the ad-
vice offered is that of a physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no PHYSICIANS advice offered and the
whole clamor of write to woman"
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice IS not
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice:
