It T. 22D YEAH NO. 0,88. WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2(5, 1800. PBIOJE TWO Gl&NS. n A I' 'A M h' POLITIGAL NEWS UNANIMOUS CONSENT GIVEN MR ALDMCH'S RESOLUTION, TWIXT TWEEDLEDUM AND TWEEDLEDEE The Difference Illustrated by an Objection in the Senate. MR. PLUMB DIPS INTO THE CLASSICS, And Relieves His Mini Concerning the Democrats Budget of Interest ing News and Gossip. Mr. Aldrtch's "memorandum," of fered yesterday and which went over until to day In response to a gentle kick from Mr. Plumb, was again presented to tbo Senate. Tho presiding ofllcor Elated tbat unanimous consent was asked fcr having It entered as an order of the Senate. Objection was at once made by Mr. Morgan and other Democratic Senators to having the "memorandum" lake the shape of an "order of tho Senate." After on Interchange of valuable opinion on this great point Mr. Aldrlch mag nanimously withdrew that form and con fined his motion to a request for unani mous consent to tho "memorandum." ltcmarks arc In order at this juncturo concerning the vast difference between tweedledum and twccdlcdcc. Also It is a fine opportunity to quote Shakes peare's ablo enquiry and allegation, "What's In a name? A roso by any other name would smell as sweet." Uut this field of endeavor Is left to the morning paper. It has much space and time to tad. Mr Plumb onro more rushed to the front, but this time with visor up and sword In scabbard. In parliamentary j-ottcr he made not n bold objection, but a mild suggestion. He shrewdly suspected there was something behind the matter tbat was not perfectly ap parent to the public. There Mr. Plumb was wrong, for Tiic Cmtic has kept the public per fectly Informed in regard to this memo randum nml of all that wont before it, was included In it, and Is to come after it. Hut let that jwuw. The solemn interchange of sug gestions yesterday between tho Senator from Ithoile Island and the Senator f re iu Maryland, Mr. Plumb arid, re minded him somewhat of tho historic remark between the Governors, Encouraged by tho decorous laugh ter with which his fellow-Senitors f reeled this historic allusion, Mr. 'l'.:i lb took a deep dive Into classic times and came up panting, but trium phant, with the startling statement that two iceman augurs could not look Into each other's faces without smiling. No reason was given why two Roman ni.fiiirs should look In each other's face? Ncltherwaa it explained whether the smiles they Indulged In were of the hind Mr, Plumb objects to having In duced in by a weary public at the bar cf the f cnate restaurant. Turning then to the stage for a saille, Mr Plumb said It was time the cut tain was rung down and the lights put out. If Mr Edmunds had been present he inlqbt have enquired where Mow was when the lights went out. Uut he was absent, and Mr Plumb went on to say that an arct mtnt had been made by which the Democratic Senators were to forego their oppotitlon (or at all event their delatii-c; opposition) to the Tariff bill, which had been described as so utterly end nMorently objectionable. Of course he rrcnaned that that was la order that EC rr cluing else might be had which wai (lettable to theui. Having thus relieved himself of all the tujrgeslluns which sugaeated themselves I" his suggestive intellect, the Kansas Eta'esman declared he would interpose ro r' Uctlon to the meaoraadu-.. Al igelher, Mr. Plumb's effort this fining was about as wild a eyekwe as ever came out of the windy West. Tbe memorandum was uaaelaiously esrecd to. and a somaoleat quietude ence more prevailed ia awl about the henato Chamber. 8 me of the radical pro-Force paper are already bewailing what they tern the bad bargain the liettttbtieaa Sea at rs have wade is the adoption of the r mrrombe.

Every Democratic club In the State will cnd Its members otf special trains ami targe deleaatlons are expected from the leading Democratic clubs of New York and Pennsylvania. It Is ex pected that addremes will be made by Governor Hill of New Yotk.

Tho death of Congressman Watson will complicate matters In the Twenty seventh Pennsylvania district. Mr. "Watson had been renominated to suc ceed himself, having carried tho coun ties of Warren, Mckean and Cameron at tho primaries held on May 10. Ills death will necessitate the holding of the primaries to nominate a successor to succeed him. Ex Senator J. W. Lee of Franklin will probably bo a candidate. It Is not known who tho other counties will Dresent. The nominee will likely bo elthor Lcc or ex Senator Emery of McKcan. The latter could have tbo nomination as tbo price of his silence concerning Dclamatcr, but ho Is not likely to accept the bribe and the nomination will prob ably fall to I.ce, who made n strong run against Watson's own county at Ike primaries last spring. BUCKEYE DKMOCIIATS mkt this afternoon at spmn'ofikld to namr a btatk ticket. SfitiXGFir.i.D, Ohio, Aug. 20. Ar rsnscmcnts for the Democratic htate Convention, which will convene here this afternoon, aro perfect. Judging from the amount of favorable comment made upon Theodore Cromley of Pick away County by the chlof Democratic papers of tho State, It looks as though that gentleman would lie named for Secretary of State. The drift of opinion seems to set toward Judge Illandln of Cleveland for tho Supreme Judgeship, and Captain Leopold Keifor of Miami County looks like the coming man for tho Board of Public Works, although Springfield will preseut a can didate for the place In the person of William C. Armstrong, who, It Is ia!d. Is hotly championed by Colonel John Kin nane and lUvu Iklfenttne of this place. Governor Campbell was expected to be here, but he is not well, and upon the athlceof his physlelau will remain In Columbus.

A List of Ike Namw from Which Presi dent Harrison Will Choose "Lets of Excellent Timber. The situation regarding the vacancy In the Board of Commissioners caused by the resignation of Mr. Illne Is a good deal like an old cartoon which ptctured a man holding a big, red apptc, sur rounded by a lot of little boys, all wht fully looking at the fruit and desiring It, yet afraid to ask for It lest It should bo refused. There aro any number of candidates for tho position, but aa yet none of tbcm has filed an application nor has any ono had a delegation call at the White House In his lnlerost3. But yet each has trcctcd a llalitnlag tcd, hoping that Tlin MODESTY DISPLAYED wttl attract the olllcc to him. Eich declares ho Is not n candidate, with the mental reset vatlon that, being a patriot, he could not refuse to accept the office at n salary of $5,000 per annum If he were selected. The Clcvoland maxim, "Let the olllcc seek the man," Is being carried out In lotlor as well as spirit, and al though there is a good deal of cam paigning going on, It Is under the rose. You could not make one of them admit he wanted the cilice, much less being a candidate for it. But, just tho same, all of them are waiting for that sum moos from President llanison that means the tender of the position, and the one who gets It will respond with alacilty. Among the many candidates JOHN I'AII. J0NK8 Is a leading one Mr. Jones is a promi nent lawyer of this city, a large real estate holder here and one of the best known Democrats In Washington. Ho Is well and favorably known, is pos seesod of much executive ability and would mako an excellent Commissioner. Another leading candidate, and one whose Intctests are thoroughly allied w Itli those of the city, Is roeTMASTEK nose. Mr. Boss Is a well known Democrat, and bis administration of the affairs of the Poitoftice Is one of the best lecommen datlons ho possesses for the position. The only openly avowed candidate Is at.SEHAI, C. H. WILCOX ii f Tennessee. He is enjoying a lonely little boom all by himself, but yesterday It received quite a set back at the hands of Chairman Boyle of the Central Democratic Committee, who quoted the law governing the appointment, which provides tbat the man selected shall be a resident of the District. As General Wilcox Is a citizen of Tennessee and has only lived lure as a Federal otllcc holder this disagreeable fact led to taking some of the buoyancy out of his boom. LA WHENCE GAHDXEK, the able secretary of the Beneficial Ko dowment Association, Is, like Barkis, "willln'." He is well known as a lead ing Democrat, ami Is, perhaps, the one man whose appointment would give general satisfaction to all classes, irre spective of politics. He Is an able ex ecutive oQicer, affable, easily ap proached aad stands aa excellent chaaee of succeeding Mr. Illtie.

Chic ago, Aug. 26. Annie Redmond, the beautiful little daughter of a black smith, was slolcn more than two yean ego. She was found a short lime ago, and Mr. Josephine Gurley. who ab ducted her, sent to the penitentiary for five years. Mis. Gurley now gives the public a confession wherein she says she stole the child at the bidding of her buslmml, who, in turn, wished to further a vindictive p!an of one Mr. Annie Allen, a woman of questionable character. Gurley Is a bigamist, and Is now ser ving a term in The Wisconsin penlten tlaiy. Mis. Gurley says John Red mond, the blacksmith, the father of the child, was on Intimate terms with sev eral women, Including Mrs. Allen. A bill for wine contracted nt Mrs. Allen's house remained unpaid, and Mrs. Allen becoming spiteful planned, with the aid ot Gurley, the little girl s abduction.

Blthop O'Dwycr, In his letter nnent the Dillon dispute, says that ho does not Impute personal dishonesty to 5Ir. Dillon, but simply adheres to the papal dccUIon on tbe Perslco report, and de nouncts tbe plan of campaign and the sMlem of liojcoUiog. Despite the clerical condemnation, the boycott Is still cmplojed largely as a political weapon, and tho system Is specially stiong In the west of Ireland. The case of a man named Ryan, living near Limerick, Is bttng cited as a proof ot the thoroughness with which the plan is being carried out. Ryan has been stiiving since 1887 to live on aa evicted farm. The results have lieen singular. Tor speeches denouncing Ryan, two members of Parliament, Km ucane and Sheeby, the Rev. Father Marlnan and others were sentenced to lmpilsonment. The congregation left the gallery In the chapel as soon as Ryan entered it. A grocer In Limerick sent a messenger after him and returned him money paht for goods ordered as soon as he knew to whom the articles had beca sold. Rran was shadowed at fairs, until the police begaa shadowing the shadowers, and he could not get hU horses shod. A firm tbat had always repalrd his mowing machine refused to do so any longer, aad he has been sub jected, be declares, to "all tbe annoy ance and Inconvenience that human In genuity can derUe."

The Old Hands DtMkargtd aad New One Hired, Amiaxy, N. Y., Au. 36. Members of D. A. JUG of this city who are qutte Intimate with Mr. Powderly, stated this morning that the chief bad aatd that the action of UiePeileratlonwas merely a conservative course they were com pelled to take by reason of their char ter. The word of sympathy, however, was merely a word of caution to the members of the Federation to look out for any encroachment upon their rights, and Mr. Powderly believes that they will selro the first opportu nity offered to strike. That opportu nity, he preillcts, will occur before tbtcc daya are gone by. In fact, Mr. Powderly almost assured the members of I). A. 31G at their secret meeting last night that a general strike would toon occur. It is further claimed upon the part of the Knights this morning that as yet only part of their men are out on this road and that when the gen eral order goes out there will Ite more trouble TO STMIKI5 TO NIGHT. Dennis Feehan, editor of the ImUpin tltnt Citittn and a member of the execu tive board of D. A. 1C, Is authority for the statement that n general order for a strike of alt Knights of Laltor on the Central road will be given to-night and on all other connecting rod aid ing the Central on Thursday. The Outlook In GlitCHgo. Chicago, Auk. SO The outlook for trouble at the stock yards Is serious and an outbreak among the striking switch men Imminent. To guard against this danger Chief Maish at It o clock last nleht ordaed all of the South Side lwlicc force not patrolling beau to report at the stock aids at midnight and every policeman in the city to hold himself In readiness for a call to do duty In the strike dlstilct. The lieutenants have charge of the men and are under the personal supervision of Chief Marsh. The packers are the heaviest losers In the slock yards stilke, while the Switch lag Association Is not particularly hit, except so far aa the transfer charges for about 150 empty and as many loaded cars are concerned. One hundred and nfiy carloads of "dead" freight meaus between f 1,HK ami $2,000 per carload each day to tue packer , or a dally loss of $26-5,000. TUese figures were given by one ot the managers of the leading packers, and If they are correct the packers have lost during tbe four work ing days of the strike over It.uQu.Ouu. if the strike continues, ami tbe receipts of coal and tee are Mocked, the loss will extend to the pork-packing branch, which so far has suffered little or noth ing.

Neither one of the officers could give any evidence showing that tlnele wan charged with vagrancy wat guilty. A young alool pigeon was roped Into the scheme, but his testimony did not help tbe case cut a little bit, and Judge Mills dismissed the whole lot.
