New Election In the Tenth.
After tlie election in the Tenth
District lion. Tom Watson wrote a
letter on Hon. J. C. C. Black insist
ing that something be done to
purge the ‘ ballot box in that
district and proposed that a com
mission he appointed, two by
himself, two by Major Black and
these to select a fifth to examine tlie
ballots cast outlie 6th and decide
who was elected.
Major Black after consultation
with liis friends declined this* propo*
sition us impracticeable, hut. express

The following is tlie concluding par

member of the H4tiv congress. But I

March 4, 1895, for three reasons: 1.

Where is now your pomp and glory?
Where is now your honors of Vietoriia)?
Those democratic newspapers that
haye never been friendly to Mr,
Cleveland are now trying to saddle
tlie responsibility for the defeat of
the Democratic party upon him.
They are not meotiDg with much
success.
It is general’y admitted that tne
real causes of tlie defeat of tlie Dem
ocrats were tlie refusal of the Dem
ocratic Senate to pass promptly
the bill to repeal tlie purchasing
clause of the Sherman silver law,
and tlie extraordinary delay in pass
ing the Wilson tariff bill; also the
action of the Senate in so radically
changing tlie Wilson tariff bill that
the President would not sign it. But
was the President in any degree re-
sponsib'.e for these things? Is it not
a matter of record that lie urged
upon tlie Senate the imperative ne
cessity for prompt action? From the
day h** was inaugurated until tlie
tariff bid was acted upon lie earn
estty insisted Shat there should tie
prompt legislation in behalf of sound
money nod tariff reform Tlie great
majority of Democratic Congress
men admitted tin* wisdom of liis po
sition. and did what they could to
get as quickly as possible the legis
lation tliat- was so greatly desired by
the whole country. A few Senators,
however, insisted upon hnving»their
way, and ade it impossible to carry
out the President's policy.
The effort to saddle upon tlie Pres
ident tlie responsibility for defeat
will fail. The people know the facts,
and are not likely to lie misled by
the venomous utterances of sore
heads. If Congress had ac’ed as lie
wanted it to act tlie business and in
dustrial depression would have been
far less, and would have largely ilia
appeared before tlie election. The
people would have been in tlie en
joyment of the benefits of a sound
currency and tariff reform policy,
and would have voted to keep tlie
democrats m control of Congress.
The men wbo are responsible for
| democratic defeat are the half dozen
or more democratic senators, who to
1 accomplish selfish ends, made it im
possible f.>r tlie Democratic party
j to do all it promised to do, and bln-
; derod it from doing whet it eventu-

Long Distance House Moving.

not have sufficient funds to build
another house. He Y.ought a lot aud
concluded to remove the building he
owned at Seattle. Every one laughed
at him, but he persisted. Rolling tlie
house down to the river, lie loaded

Then lie had it roiled upon his lot

All hail Columbus! Behold the
great navigator as he lands. The
perils of the deep are past. The
clouds of fear have vanished.
The night of gloom has ended.
In the heavens the sun of success
shine;; resplendent. Morning has
dawned.
Imperiously the banner of
haughty Spain greets the day
light. Upon its Puttering folds
are inscribed the destinies of a
new world. Its gleaming surface
marks a long advance in the evo
lution of the human race. It
tells a story of prophecy unpar
alleled, of developement unap
proached in the fullness of re
corded time. It crowns with
triumph the efforts of genius.
The World’s Fair contained no finer statue of the great
discoverer than this colossal figure. It commanded from its
pedestal the eastern entrance to the Administration build
ing. Tho majesty of its dimensions, the vigor and aggres
siveness of its expression and the artistic finish of its com
position made it admired as a genuine sculptural triumph.
Another Standard Proudly Displayed
at the Fair was that ot
Dr. Price’sCream Baking Powder
A Standard ol Excellence for Forty Years.
It was the standard of unequalled strength, perfect
purity and wholesome results. The award to Dr. Price’s of
highest honors at the Fair furnishes conclusive evidence ol
its superiority over all other baking powders.
