The marriage of Miss Letitia Fergu-
son and Mr.. John Wright took place
Wednesday evening, July LIST, at 8
O'Clock, at the brides residence. 1874
Twenty-secOnd street N. W., in the
presence of a large company Of invited
guests. The bridal party entered the
parlors to the strains OF Mendelsohn's S
Wedding March, played by Miss Lii
liam Dancy, who also rendered very
effectively "The Flower Song during
the evening. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. w. J. Howard, pastor
Of the Second Baptist Church. Miss
Elizabeth Yates, the bridesmaid, wore
a beautiful gown of French muslin,
trimmed with Mexican drawn work
and carried a boquet of pink roses and
sweet, peas. Mr.. NJ Harris was the
grooms best man. The bride was
becOmingly robed in white Aeolian
silk trimmed in pearl passamenterie
and fine lace. Her veil of tulle was
caught here and there with white
sweet peas and she carried a boQuet
of brides roses. The happy couple
were the recipients of many elegant
presents, notably a silver set from the
office of the Recorder of Deeds, where
the bride was employed as a clerk.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright left at midnight
for New York, to be gone two weeks,
after which they will take up their
residence at 1874 Twenty-second street.

THE WILMINGTON HORROR.

That the terrible crime which seems
to exist only in this the Land of the
free and the home of he brave'(?) has
at last reached the crisis, cannot be
disputed. 1t has been customary,
heretofore, when our gaze was con-
fronted with the heading Negro
burned at the stake to look for the
name of some southern city or town,
but no more can the North point the
finger of shame at her southern sister
no, it has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction OF all minds that the
lynch law pervades every section, or
very nearly so, of this country.
No man, be he black or white,
should suffer the barbarous death pen
atty of the stake and torch. While in
favor of the death penalty for this Of
fense when there as absolutely no
doubt as to guilt, 1 as colored man
protest vehemently against this out
rage and join all good members of my
race in the hope that there may be
enacted a salute which will make the
practice of lynching SO disastrous to
the county in which it is perpetrated, /,
that this Offense will be wiped from
the annals of the United States histo-
ry. of which she should be heartily
ashamed.

Vermont Don't Chance.

Senator Jacob C. Gallinger has been
returned to the senate for another six
years by the Republicans of Vermont.
Such is nothing unusual for Eastern
states, for when they get a good man
in the halls of congress they keep
him there. In other words, political
tricksters do not cut much ice. 1t
is by such means that the Eastern
states always get from the govern
ment sooner or later all that they
ask for.

Simonds is Left.

The Oregon legislature is in the
throes of deadlock and the fight is
between contending Republican fac
tions. 1t is limited that the Democrats
will help one or the other faction
elect senator, but the same was
thought on previous occasions when
the Republican members were too
much divided among themselves to
elect any one to the senate, as de-
cent politicians should have done,
hence the rumor is perhaps not well
founded. There seems to be no doubt
of the defeat of Senator Simonds.

lieved that great deal of dirty poll
tical work will be done on both sides.
If the Republicans carry the day VOL
colt will be elected, but if the Demo
Gratis win out Senator Teller will be
returned.

Addicks Troubles.

Nothing definite was reached by the
Delaware legislature in it's balloting
for United States senator. The body
is largely Republican, as has been the
case for many years. Though Repub-
lican, there is entirely too much fac
tional feeling to allow a Republican
or a Democrat either to be elected.
Addicks, who is at the head of the
largest Republican faction, still stands
pat and declares if he can not get
it no one else shall. 1t is thought
at this writing that the Democrats
will join with the Addicks faction and
elect some one, as the state is now
without representation in the senate.

Perkins Cake-Walk.


California has learned from bitter eX-
perience that it is best to send good
man to the senate and then keep
him there, if the commercial interests
of the state is to be constantly ad-
vanced, and perhaps for that reason
only the legislature unanimously re-
turned Senator Perkins to the senate.

Uncle Billy Beaten.

Congressman Hopkins will succeed
Uncle Billy Mason from Illinois, who,
it might be said, talked too much out

New men do not always get for their

the senate, but Mr.. Hopkins, having
been so prominent in the house for the
past few sessions, he is pretty we'll
next, and the state will not loose very

Senator Fairbanks has been mentioned

will get almost hands down.

If, on the other hand, Mr.. Wilson can
convince the Preston people later on
in the fight that Preston's election
is out of the question, the Mcbride
people may take him up as a second

Wilson might be elected. His chance
for being elected, however, at this
time are not near SO f1attering as thew
are of his being elected to the senate
two years from now. The Pie-maker
is creditably informed that the en-
tire Northwest will go to Mr.. Wilson
two years from now if certain ar
rangements can be made with him and

King county held a monster mass
meeting last Wednesday evening at
the Seattle theatre in the interest of
Mr. Preston, and that mass meeting
did what the county convention re-
fused 10 consider, the indorsing and
instructing the members of the legis-
lature from King county to vote for
the railroad commission bin, mat is if
it would bring sufficient strength to
Harold Preston to insure his election.
If Mr.. Preston has had any opposi-
ton in King county to his senatorial
ambitions it came from the fact that
ne had tied up to McBride's railroad
commission bill, and the voters of
King county are most decidedly op-
posed to the passage of a railroad

they would never favor railroad

Preston will be the choice of the
present legislature for the position,
but it begs to differ from the directors

Ex-senator Heinze leads the other and
a deadlock is quite probable.
