Although the Coburn Minstrels have

his show this year will far surpass
anything in the minstrel line he has

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had no part in the election OF
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government, the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only Indirectly, their choice being eN
presSd by their votes for legislators. deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not ye
ratified the Constitution, Washington
elected the first time by the votes of only OF
the Is states. .
New York cfty was the scene of the first lnaugu
ration. however. Washington took the oath or

retired within the building and delivered an ad

vived. Jefferson stigmatized that .orm of address

NEVER DAzzLED BY POWER
Nothing but Purest Patriotism Ever
Actuated Washington in Any of
His Official Acts.

1t was not necessary for Washing
ton to thrice put aside crown, as
did Caesar, for the authors of the
communication to Washington knew
too well the character of the man and
that it would be impossible to In any
way swerve him from his expressed
resolve.
In perfect keeping with the spirit
in which Washington treated the duz-
zling offer which wasyso unexpectedly
set before him, was the simplicity of
his conduct in bidding adieu to his
comrades-in-armA and then presenting
himself before congress, there to de
liver up his sword and voluntarily di-
vest himself of the supreme command
\ Washington assembled his army for
the last time at Newburgh. To the
tune of "Roslin Castle''-the soldiers
dirge-his brave comrades passed
slowly by their great leader and filed
away to their respective homes.
Before congress at Annapolis on
December %. 1888. he delivered his
commission amid scenes almost as i'm
pressive us his leave-taking from his
army. From that august body he re-
tired to his home at Mount Vernon,
with no thought of further honors
from his country, and it was with re-
luctance that he left his retirement
when chosen the first president of the
United States.

When WASHINGTON Was Abused.

In the Morris house on August r.
1875, Washington signed the Jay treaty
with England, losing thereby most of
his remnant of support in the house of
representatives. Abuse eliminated in
the serious suggestion to impeach him.
The constitution having for obvious
reasons confined the treaty making
power to the executive and the SEN
ate, Washington refused TO grant the
request of the house of representatives
for the correspondence leading up to
the treaty. The storm of indignation
that followed did not spare even his
personal character. "A Calm Observ-
er" stated In newspaper that Wash
ington had stolen S4.T5O.
