one OF his enlisted soldiers,
named Lovejoy, who accepted
the challenge and appeared
ready for the fray. He was a
very large man, well propor-
toned and stood about six feet
high. Shipley was nearly the
same height, and very bony and
muscular, but not so stout as
Lovejoy.
1.-THE crowd having formed a
ring, the combatants went into
the fight with q will, those in
the crowd occasionally cheer
ing and otherwise encouraging
their choice Of the men. In
those days the practices Of
gouging, choking and biting
were very much in vogue among
the bullies, and when one would
succeed in getting the other
down, the first thing he would
do would be to feel for his an
tagonist'S eyes, and there in
sert his thumb or finger, and, If
possible, force out an eye! If he
could not succeed thus in max
ing his opponent cry enough.
he would seize him by the
throat and choke him. when. if
he would signify that he had
enough, the bystanders would
separate them.
A Troeic Ending
"Shipley and Lovejoy pounded
each other a while, then closed
and wrestled until one of them
slipped and they fell in the mud
together. Shipley proved too ac-
tive for his adversary, and sue
ceeded in getting on top of him,
when he instantly felt for Love-
joys eyes, which he smeared
full of mud. The crowd then
parted them, raised Lovejoy up.
and proceeded to wash the mud
from his eyes and face. But,
alas! Lovejoy was a blind man
for the remainder of his days.
Since then I have seen him led
about the streets of Georgetown
by a boy. With Shipley, who
was a tailor and lived in George
town. I was well acquainted"
Let it be also clearly under
stood that the people Of Wash
ington have never been permit
ted to vote for Representatives
in Congress, as do the States of
the Union, although they are
more directly interested than
the rest Of the country, since all
of their affairs are exclusively
controlled. according to the
Constitution, by the legislative
branch of the National Govern
ment.
Locally, according to the
judgment of Congress, Washing
ton has had several forms of
government. It's first charter.
granted by Congress on May 3,
1902, provided for the govern
ment of the city by a mayor,
to be appointed annually by the
President. and for an elective
council of II members, divided
into a "first chamber" of seven
members, and a second cham
ber" of five members. Under this
charter Robert Brent was ap-
pointed the first mayor and
served from 1902 to 1911, when
he resigned. Daniel Rapine
being appointed by President
Madison, to fill out his unex-
pired term, and when the new
charter went into effect, on June
/. 1912. which provided for the
election of the mayor by the
city councils, he was selected to
succeed himself.
In like manner DR.. James H.
Blake was appointed to sue
ceed Mayor Rapine in June,
1913, and continued to serve
by selection until 1916, being
followed with one term by
Benjamin G. Orr, 1817-1818.

Voting in Georgetown
By John CIoqett Proctor

The National Capital never
had full suffrage. and except for
the single occasion when they
voted as a part of Maryland in
the presidential election of 1900
they never exercised the right
accorded all other normal
American citizens. In connec-
ton with this isolated instance.
no particular candidate re-
ceived the prescribed majority
of all electoral votes. Thomas
Jefferson, who ran as a Re-
publican, received 70: Aaron
Burr, also a Republican (who
resided on r street where now
stands the Press Club Building),
received the same number;
John Adams, the incumbent
and a Federalist, obtained IS.
and another Federalist. Charles
c. Pinckney, 64. John Jay, the
first Chief Justice. received but
one vote.
The choice devolving upon the
House of Representatives, JEFF
ferson received the votes of 10
States, which, being the largest
vote cast for a candidate.
elected him President. Burr re-
ceived the votes of four States.
which being the next largest,
elected him Vice President.

Christian Hines, in his early
Recollections of Washington

count of the election held in
Georgetown in 1900 for the Sc

1.-THE house was a one-story
frame and stood on High street
between Bridge and Water
streets, and a little east Of the
canal bridge. George Peter, who
was then a. lieutenant in the
Regular Army. had, I think. his
recruiting Office in three-story
brick house directly south of
the tavern, or pretty near where
Waters flour warehouse now
stands. In those days there were
two political parties-the Fed
erals and Republicans. The
Federal Party upheld Mr.. Adams
and the Republican party sup
ported Mr.. Jefferson.

continued some time, and the

to dispute and quarrel, and per-
