DO Speeches Poyg

During the summer OF 1872 Horace
Greeley made flying trips through New
Hampshire and Maine in the east,
and through Ohio and Indiana in the
+, west. The object was to show himself
to the people and arouse enthusiasm
in his behalf. Ohio and Indiana were
October states then and Mr.. Greeley
;. wished to stir them UP. At every sta
ltion at which he stopped there were
sarge crowds, though he made only
few speeches and those brief. Mr..
Greeley was much pleased with his
reception, but it turned out that the
people gathered around him out OF
curiosity to see man of whom they
lad heard SO much. The great ma
.toritn having seen Greeley, voted for

]. w Ivey. collector of customs for
the district OF Alaska, has withdrawn
MS resignation He arrived I'm Seattle
yesterday from Washington City, and is
en- route to Alaska, where he will serve
out his fun term. At the Stevens hotel,
where he is stopping. he made this an
nouncement yesterday afternoon. This
is the first definite statement that has
yet been given out on the subject.
When | went to Washington several
months ago / resigned my position as
collector of customs for the district of
Alaska, he said in an interview. MY
object In doing so was that / might go to
Cape Nome and engage in private bust
ness. / waited a long time for the de-
partment to relieve me, but there was
some difficulty in deciding who my sue
cessor should be- so / concluded to with
draw my resignation, which have done.
and am now on my way home to Sitka to
serve out the balance of my term.
Before leaving Washington / had a
talk with Senator Carter, and he
sured me that the Alaska code bill would
go through the house. I think It will
come up tomorrow or at feast very short
ly 1t win probably take a full day TO
read 1t. As the bill now is, it is salts
factory. OF course, when It becomes OPP
erative It will probably be found that
many amendments will be required.
These, however. can be made from time
to time as needed. Senator Carter is of
the belief that there Will be no discus
sion in the house over the three judicial
districts.
while in the East was much i'm
pressed with prosperous conditions ev-
erywhere. The people feel II and give the
credit to President Mckinley and the
administration. Republicanism is grow
ing every day, and there can be little
doubt but that President Mckinley will
carry the East by much greater vote
than he did four years ago
I'VE are looking for very prosperous
season in Alaska this year. The coun-
try has passed the experimental stage
and the entire district has become a
substantial reality. Its worth TO this
city will increase year by year and will
be more and more appreciated
II expect to remain In Seattle several
days before going to Sitka.@
