THE BOCK -TBESHD AHTO, FBIDAY MAY 3, IE39. THE DAILY ARGUS JOHN W- POTTER. Fbioat. Mat 8, 1889. Tbb democratic convention of the Nineteenth distnct nominated Judge J. R. Williams, of White county, to fill the unexpired term of Congressman Town bend. The district Is reliably democratic and Williams' election is assured, if the usual vota is polled. "Sktebal weeks ago," said an Egyp tian friend. "I wrote a letter on business matters to Col. Morrison, and incidently V referred to the great canvass made by Gen. Palmer in this state last fail, and his efforts for the democratic ticket in Chi cago this spring. I told bim that the General would probably be the western candidate for president in 1892. Ilnre is his answer to this proposit'on: 'There Is no objection to anybody having aspiraa tions for anything, if they fit the time and the occasion. Gen. Palmer never went round snarling or snapping at me, when for the time being, I happened to be at the front, and if things were reversed and ' be was in the lead. I do not expect to he less manly than he has always been.' Now," continued our friend, "that is Morrison all over, and all who know bim know that be means it." Capital Idea. Ex-Senator W. H. Barscm, who died at Lime Rock, Conn., on the 30 ih of April, was whs horn in 1818, and was educated at the public schools. When quite young be began his career as an iron master. From small dimensions bis premises extended their area until be owned all the principal blast furnaces and forges in the Housatonic valley, beside large interests in the Lake Superior dis trict. Mr. Barnum's political career be . gan with his electian to the Connecticut house of representatives in 1851. He was reelected the next year. In 1866 he was elected to the house of representatives at Washington, and again in 1863 and 1870. His popularity may be gauged by the fact that on the last occasion he was the only democrat in the entire congressional delegation from his state. Upon the death of Orris F. Ferry, republican, Mr. Barnum was elected to fill the va cancy in the United States senate occa sioned by that event. His term expired in March, 1870, when he was succeeded by Orville H. Piatt, a republican . Dur ing the campaign of 1876 Mr. Barnum rendered valuabl e services to the demo cratic cause. After the nomination of General Hancock for the presidency, in 1880, there was a serious d iffereoce of opinion as to who should be made chair man of the national democratic commit tee. The matter was referred to the can did ate for his decision, when be selected ex-Senator Barnum, thus conciliating Mr. Tilden and his friends, who also fa vored Mr. Barnum. As a political manager be was cautious and wary, un communicative and sagacious. The Right Mm. The reelection of Hon. J. C. Camp bell, of Streator, as chairman of the Illi nois democratic state central committee, was not only a wise and judicious selec tion but a mark of appreciation of that gentleman's masterly management of the last campaign. Mr. Campbell combines all the qualities ne cessary for a political manager, his strongest recommendation, possibly, being his tireless and unceasing energy. And as bis speech of accept ance indicates, he fully realizes that bard and persistent work is absolutely re quired. The committee also made an other remarkably good choice in select ing Mr. George M. Haynts, of Chicago, for secretary, who is one of the best posted and well known democrats in the state. It was only after considerable pressure that Mr. Haynes was induced to accept the arduous duties devolving on the position. The election of Mr. W. B. Brinton, of Tuscola, as treasurer, is also to be com mended. He is one of the most popular democrats on the committee, in fact in the entire state. He is in the employ of the Moline Wagon company, and it has not yet been definitely settled upon which theme he grows most eloquent whether in discoursing on the merits and durability of the justly celebrated Moline wagon or the glorious principles of de mocracy. Messrs. Campbell, Haynes and Brinton are a trio of workers who will discharge the duties of their offices with credit and efficiency.

SHAMEFUL 0EGIE3 AT TE BALL. Respectable People Absolutely Driven Away by the Disgraceful Conduct of Disreputable A Monumental l'leoe of Poor Management Ticket-Takers and Walters Ran Things for the Money They Coo Id Make Ladies Grossly In sulted and Turbulence the Rule. Kkw York, May 3. Whatever may be said in commendation of tbe smoothness and precision with which tbe out-door exercise during the centennial celebration were con ducted, it seems evident that there was a "powerful weakness" somewhere in the man agement of the ball which, if tbe papers tell the truth, kiila fair to become noted prin cipally for tbe utrngcous scene which ac companied it On this subject The World ays: Now that tbe centennial ball is over, peo ple wbo paid from $10 to $25 apiece to par ticipate in it, and whose fun was represented by tbe figure 0, ore tak ng out the balance in criticism. The tongues of the ball-goers were blistered with fault-finding Wednesday. On all sides it was cuwedert that the centen nial ball was the biggest executive failure of the century. People who were most compe tent to n;x-nk were loudest in declaring the ball a monument ot incapacity and vulgnrity. Disgraceful Scenes at Supper. Tbe scenes in tbe supper room can not be described safely in a newspaper. Never since tbe palace of tbe Tuilleries was invaded in 177V by tbe sans culottes of the Seine de pertinent have such startling contrasts been witnessed in similar circumstances. When it is said that tbe waiters, policemen and messeuper boys drank most of the free cham pagne, tbe situation at midnight may be suggested. Justices of tbe supreme court, governors, staff -officers, clubmen, lawyers, poets, millionaires, with beautiful and re fined women, crowded along the supper counter and demanded in vain the attention they were accustomed to receive. The func tionaries around the place showed undis guised contempt for tbe "l'ree-luuch fiends." Waiters who did uot have to account for the unlimited wine took occasion to neglect guests and treat themselves. The excellent supper was largely wasted. There was no responsibility for anything to anybody. A Kloe Crowd of Revelers. By 12:30 p. m. the supper-room bad been given over to people whose ideas of enjoy ment had been learned in free-and-easy re sorts, and drunken men invaded tbe ball room, flourishing bubbling bottles of cham pagne, in the corridors free fights were of constant occurrence. Gamblers, bookmak ers, and women dozed or made merry on the staircases. Never once did an accredited officer of tbe evening interfere, to anybody's knowledge. The policemen who were sober were helpless. They could uot tell the dress coated waiters from the guests. By I o'clock motit of the respectable element were making frantic and supperleas efforts to get away. Struggle at the Coat Rooms. Even this privilege was denied them. A line extending from the coat rooms for 5(10 yards, and made up of some of the leading citizens of this town, surged for hours in front of the coat rooms. Gentlemen grew angry and desperate at the utter inadequacy of the arrangements. With torn coats and wrinkled shirt fronts, men whose names are known all over the Union, fought their way to their coats under the frequent clubs of the police, the jeers of tbe mob outside and tbe pernicious activity of the pickpockets. It was S o'clock in tbe morning before the last battered and ragged guest joined his family at the doors and reached bis hack. Relates His Fzperieoee. "In its executive aspects the centennial ball was tbe worst of ets sort ever known in tbe history of the city," said a well-known man-about-town Wednesday. "The possibil ity of letting the attendants get at all tbe wine they wanted was enough to ruin any plans that might have been made. I left at 3 a. in. without my hnt or coat Two of the checkers inside of tbe cloak-room were drunk. I got my own umbrella by paying 1, and one exchanged for it in my sight by tbe fel low who demanded the dollar. Of the ladies I met, one's dress was ruined by a plate of salad thrown over it by a drunken brute, and the shoulder of another was cut from a bottle which a stranger bad broken upon it I saw more re siwctable women insulted in the supper-room than I ever saw even accosted at tbe French ball. I knocked down a man who tried to kiss the daughter of a leading lawyer." Rascality of the Employes. The ticket-takers had no checks placed upon them, and there is no question but that they made lots of money letting in people who never should have been there. The policemen lost their temper completely, and cleared people out at the end of their clubs. Hundred of bottles of wine were passed out of doors and sold by waiters and others. One man was drunk, fell down stairs, and was so badly hurt he bad to be carried off in an ambulance. Many flags and potted plants were stolen, and some of tbe boxes were shockingly soiled after their first occu pants had left The supper room was cleared by clubs shortly after 1 o'clock. The light were turned out in the boll room long be fore the crowd had left tbe building. A Democratic Ex-Senator's Influence. Washington City. May Secretary Wludom recently wrote a letter to Calvin Gorman, a brother of Senator Gorman, ask ing his resignation as inspector of customs for the Baltimore district About a week ago the secretary wrote another letter to Mr. Gorman telling bim that he would be retained. It is said that ex-S.-nator Davis, who is a cousin of the Germans, was instru mental in causing tbe secretary to take this action. The Maryland Republicans are said to be making an earnest effort to have Mr. Gorman removed. Tanner and the Pensions. WabH'xotox City, May 3.

PLAIN TALK FROM BISHOP POT MR , With Refereiioe to His Ceutennial Sena at SU Paul's, New York. New York May 3. Bishop Potter was called upon a ; his residence in Fifty-ninth street by a Ui ited Press reporter yesterday with a view to learning what the reverend gentleman ha, to say about the fiaace criti cisms which ti e following passage ra his ser mon at St Pi Mil's church on Tuesday had brought forth We have exi haneed Washington's dltrnlty f or JefTersonia simplicity, which is only an other term for Jacksonlan vn'garity. Tbe bishop said: "I have hoard of the criti cisms, but bavs read none of tbem as yet" "It is ciainwd in some quarters that you insulted the president and attacked the Re publican party." "I certainly lid not intend to insult or at tack any one. I can not make any explana tion just now, but if, on reading the criti cisms I think it is necessary, I will do so over my own signature." The bishop pooh-poohed the idea that he objected to Archbishop Corripan being slated to prone unce the benediction at the sub-treasury. "The archbishop and myself," aid Bishop Potter, "are on the most amia ble terms, and I esteem bim highly." The bishop refuse to further discuss the matter. Hixhop I'ntter Ki plain Himself. Later in tb- day Bishop Potter talked more freely. Referring to the remark above quoted be said: " 'Vulgarity' as I used it did not refer to manners, but to the political atmosphere. Vulgar means 'common.' The manners of tie people may lie vi-ry high, but the moral tone very low. Look at some countries in Europe" and the bishop named tbem. "Now you catch the idea. I am no 'mugwump'; I've been a Republican all my life, but I hate 'taffy' and platitudes. Be sides, there wore plenty who were sure to pay sounding compliments to Mr. Harrison and the natioti that honors him. I wasn't needed for thai. The Clamor for Office. "Apply what I said regarding my estimate of the preside! tial office to tbe present situa tion. How nit ch time has Harrison given to statesmanship! Not an hour so far as any body knows. E.e was put where he is to main tain the nation s dignity ; to protect the rights of the poor and rich; to rule; not to engage in barter and t-ade. But alas, what a spec tacle we have. AVo behold the president of the United Sta es of America intent only on getting congressmen out of tbe house at mid night so that b can go to bed. What's the use of beating i.bout tbe bush in this matter? It makes me very tired." A " Hateful Dictum. " "Then you hid no thought of assailing the personal character of Andrew Jackson'" "Not in the s ightest," replied Bishop Totr ter; "but I o unit forget that under tbe Jackson the regime hateful dictum was pro nounced 'to the victors belong the spoils'. A Raking for Rich Men. "When I speiik of this as tbe era of the plutocrats nobody can misunderstand me. I don't intend thoy shall. Everybody has rec ognized the ris of the money power. Its growth not merely stifitts the independence of the people, but the blind believers in money's omnipotent power assert that its liberal use condones every offense. The public does not speak out as it should. These plutocrats are tbe enemies of religion, as they are of the state. "Has It In" for Some People. "And, not to mince matters, J will say tbat, while I had tbe politicians in mind, promi nently, there are others. I tell you I have heard the con upt use of money in elec tions and tbe tale of tbe sacred right of the ballot openly d if ended by ministers of the gospel. I may find it necessary to put such men of the si.cred office in the public pil lory. The social tendencies in the great cities, outside of politics, are most inspiring, most elevating. But the spoils system, and its related vice, th purchase of votes, are things to be afraid of, to be jumped upon and stran gled." LGI5LAI (VE PROCEEDINGS.
