My Dear Governor: Before this
seen Irish and he viii have eN-
planned to you the situation of
things here.
This last week l had a long and
pleasant interview with the presi-
dent. I said to him that | had no
time or inclination TO enter into
the controversies of men merely
for offices, but that the controversy
in California was between men who
believed in la W and order and prop
erty and the great institutions of
society, upon which civilization and
progress depend. and those who
were the outcome of the Sandlot
AND Kearneyite movement.
/ said TO him that If he gave
encouragement to good men and
placed only such in office, the men
of property and character and
standing in the state would come
to the support of the administra-
tion. and the states of the Pacific be
brought back to the fold.
! have reason to believe that the
president was very much impressed
by what ] said. He said that he
desired TO have good men in office
and he put this significant question
TO me: why is it. judge, that the
burden is put upon you alone TO
make these representations to me?
Why are there not some of your
good men from California here to
aid you in informing us?" / said
that there would be such men here.
He then asked me to bring them
to him. I told him ] would do so.

that of Judge Field and others cooper
ating was not personal, but an honest
endeayor to harmoniZe the conflicting
elements of the democratic, party by
securing for it some of the advantages
arising from the national victory, for
every man presented by us was compe-
tent and in good standing and without
the antagonsms that were likely to
perpetuate the disasters that had re-
duced Governor Stonemans majority of
%, 900 to Bartletts 500.
We were led to take the action we
did from the fact that the Stockton
conventionites appeared in force at
Washington as soon as Cleveland was
inaugurated and two of the prominent
ones-whom ] could name if neces-
sary-even called upon him at Albany
in December before his term of gov
ernor of New York had expired, and
filled his ears with their doleful story,
with view to the control of his
appointments.

it would prove clearly that he did
not know Uncle Jesse's true character

thing that did not have the dollar mark

positions for family use and the
power and influence that enabled him
to make a big cleanup on the postoffice

How Arlington Became United
States Property

General R. E. Lee married in the
drawing-rOom at Arlington the
daughter of George Washington
Parke Gusts, a grandson of Mrs.
Martha Washington by her first mar
riage At this time all the magnifi-
cent Arlington estate was owned by
Mr.. Custis, and on his death it evolv-
ed upon Mrs. Lee, and here all the
happiest years of General Lees life
were spent and here his children
were born.
When General Lee went to the
front in the cause of the Confed-
eracy, he left his family at Airing
ton; and possibly they could have
remained in undisturbed possession
of the place. but Mrs. Lee, alarmed
by the rumors that the Federals
were coming and would take posses
sion of her home, abandoned Airing
ton. and with her children went we'll
within the Southern line. Some time
after this the abandO ned home was
taken as a hospital, and the first per-
son buried here was a Confederate
soldier who died at this hospital.
About this time breastworks were
thrown up to prevent the Confeder-
ates occupying such a vantage point,
as from these heights Washington
was practically at the mercy of a
heavy battery and a bomb-throwing
mortar.
Neither General Lee nor his wife
made any attempt to recover Airing
ton; but in 1877 George Washington
GUSTS Lee, their son, brought suit
for this nurnOse. and his claim being
so clear, the United States settled

Now what was the substance of these F'itz-
gerald amendments? In substance, they pro-
posed that the Committee on Rules should not
report any rule that would set aside business
by vote of less than twothirds of the mem
bers present, nor report any rule which pre-
vents a motion to recommit bill. They also
proposed that
after bill which has been favorably reported
shall have been upon either the House or Union
calendar for three days any member may file with
the Clerk notice that he desires such bill placed
upon special calendar to be known as calen-
dar for unanimous consent.
It further provided that:

Consequently, Mr.. FITZGERALD'S
AMENDMENTS LEFT CANNONISM IN
TRENCHE'D. Nevertheless, it pretended to
make some changes, and, therefore, gave
semblance of an excuse for those qOho qoar,ted
to go 0ver TO the Republicans and SAGE the
buzaoa4h Of the vested interests. Cannon was
on to the game. There is no doubt whatever
that a secret agreement existed between him
self and those Democrats who meant to de-
sert. Beyond all question, their price had
been agreed on. Beyond the shadow of
doubt they had previously agreed to sell them
selves to Cannon, Dalzell and Payne. You
need not doubt that, for moment.
A running debate took place on these Fitz-
gerald amendments, and the vote was not
reached until, page 10 of the Record for that
day. Turn to this page and there you find
those so-c0zzed Democrats q0ho had 6artered
their honor for q price, and e0ho had agreed
to 6etray the common people to those privi-

these confirmed the infamy which Aldrich
had put through the Senate.
Don't forget that Cannon himself in abus-
ing the Insurgents in Kansas City last No
vember declared that their detection from
him would have prevented the Republicans
from passing this new tariff bill, had the
Democrats remained united. In other words,
the ta0enty-tzree deserters aoho q0ent to him

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 10.-As a
result of the election in the nation
