March 10. [ Special Corre
spondence of Tun HEU. ] I understand that
ci-Socrctary Bayard will re-enter political
llfo during" the coming campaign. I got some
now information concerning him at Phila
delphia the other day. Itwo * from O. W.
Vcrnon , the editor or the Wilmington Ho-
publican , a , man seventy years of ORO , and
ono of tbo oldest editors of tuolTuitod States.
Said he !
"Yes , I have known Tom Daynrd since ha
Wai n boy. He was the son of James A.
Uayan ] , senator of the United States , nnd
l.o succeeded his father in the senate , nnd the
Bayard's have for ycara had a sort of right to
the senatorsulp" from Delaware. James A.
Uayardwna a liner looking man than Tom.
lie was six foot tall and had a magnificent
head. Ilowas n good- lawyer , but not nn ex
traordinarily flno speaker. Ho wont to Now
York and tried to practlco luw thcro , but did
not succeed , nnd I happen to know that John
M. Clayton gave him the money -whlen
liroiiRht him back to Delaware. Ilo needed
$1,000 , find Chy ton lent it to him. I have no
doubt that ho afterwards paid him. "
' 'Is Tom Bayard wealthy ? " I asked.
"No , I dent suppose ho Is , " replied Mr.
"Vernon.Ho is probably worth about
$100,000. lie has not been a money-maker ,
nnd the moat that ho has ho has pottcn by
mnrriaeo. Ho got some with his first wlfo
nnd ho got something with the wife whom ho
lias now. Ho lives very nicely at Wilming
ton and has huug out his slilnglo and is again
practicing law. Ho has not a very largo
practice , hut 1 suppose it pays very well.
Ho started llfo , you know , as a mer
chant , nnd It was then the Intention to make
) U brother , James llayard , the statesman of
Qho family. Tom was sent to Philadelphia
to ice Into a store , but Jatncs Bayard died
and they sant for Tom nnd brought him back
to Wilmington and educated him ns a states
man. Ho studied law nnd took his scat ,
while ho was a young man in the United
States senate. "

"Whcro did you do your first newspaper
work , Mr. Vernon ! "
"I began llfo as a printer , " said Mr. Vernon -
non , "nnd I was apprenticed In West Chester ,
\vhliolwnsworkineattho trade llay
ard Taylor wns apprenticed la the same of
fice , and ho there began his newspaper ca
reer. Ilowas a tall , thin young man with a
thin fuco nnd very dark hair. Ho wns
rather Imndsomo looking. Shortly after ho
had finished his apprenticeship ho wont on a
paper nt I'hccnlxvlllo , Pa. I think ho started
the paper , but it failed nnd ho then took up
his Idea o ! going to Europe. The Evening
Post of Philadelphia and the United States
Gnzottocnch agreed to pay him $30 for his
foreign letters , and ho left for Europe with
$140 in his pocket Horace Grceioy gave
him nn order for a certain number of letters ,
making tie ( stipulation that they must bo
good enough , for blrn to uso. nnd in this way
ho bccamo. connected with the Tribune ,
whtcn connection ho.kcpt up all his life. Ho
was n very brilliant fellow nnd ho wrote
somewhat while ho wns nt the printing ofllco
in West Chester. Ho then signed himself
James IJayard Taylor , and ho
was named 1 after James A. Bayard
of Delaware. After his majority ho dropped
the unmoor James nnd signed himself sup
ply Bnyard Tnylor. His llrst book bore on
its title page the name of James Bnyard Tay
lor. I saw him several times during the lat
ter part of his career. Ho had then grown
very lleshy. nnd I believe that his death was
hastened bv drlnjdnR too much Gorman Door.
Ho was very popular in Germany and ho tfot
too fond of ( jcrmun lager. "

Speaking of Horace Orecloy , a man who
worked under him In the Tribune oftlco.givos
tno the following :
"Like mnny editorial proprietors In the
United States , ! ' soj | be , "Grooloy was not
supreme In his own newspaper o nice. Some
-ot his men wore bolter nousmcn than he
was nnd their Judgmoutos to tno policy of the
paper WAS bettor than his. At ono tlmo thoraces
races were on In Now York and William F.
O. Shanks was city editor ot the Tribune.
There was n great excitement ns to tha races ,
nud the ixjols In Now York sold ver.v high.
Shanks reported those sales , and while ho
was doinf ; so , Mr. Urooloy coming down from
his country homo , mot mm and snld : 'Mr.
Shanks , I don't ' want the ro ports of that pool
tolllngmibllshcd la the Tribune. This paper
is a high-toned family paper and I think it is
better to keep all gambling and pool selling
out of it. Bo you understand ! ' 'Yes'said
Shames , 'but I thought it was a matter of
news nnd the people were Interested in It.1
It don't ' make any difference , ' said Grooloy ,
It's a had .thing and I don't want 1U 'All
rlfrht'sald Shanks , and with that Urooloy
left. "
"Shanks still thought tno matter was too
good to lese and boning that the old man
would forgot it , ho printed the report again
next day. Qrccloy came down to the oDIca
in a rage , called up Shanks nnd snld : 'How's
this , Mr. Shnnkal I thought 1 told you to
leave tlioso blank pool sales out of tbo paper.
1 want you to understand that this Is more of
a Sunday school shoot than a Police Gazette ,
and I want them loft out.1
' "O.&ald Btmn'n , 'I'm sorry they got'ln.
I know you ordered thorn out , but my re
porter evidently did not understand it and
they slipped In. '
"During those last two days , however , thoraces
races had got hotter and hotter nnd Shanks
again hoiilugthnt Mr. Greoloy would forgot
it , put thorn In. Ho then waited in fear and
thombling for his editor and it was not late
tho'noxt day when Grecloy came in in a tow
ering but helpless rage. Ilo had a thin ,
squeaky volco and ho shrieked out at soon as
ho saw Shanks :
" 'Blnnk blank you. Slmnksl Didn't I toll
you to leave these pool saloa out of iho paper 1
.I'm ' polng to punish you. I will see if I can't
bo master in my own offlcol Blank blank

Jury I' Jiy this , time , however , the races
wore over Had the pool soiling stopped. "

nearly touching the paper upon his desk , ho
was scratching uway. Ilo dd ( not look up ns

waiting to be noticed. AsUroolor did not ,
look up , he finally said : 'Mr. Grooloy , I
hare a letter of introduction which Thnddcus
Ktovons asked mo to present to you.1 Greoloy
Bald nothing and did not give a sign that ho
hud beard the remark , and the man laid
down the letter in front of him and sat down.
After sitting about ton minutes and getting
no'slgu of recognition from Mr. Qroeloy , he
bccamo interested in the situation nnd
topped up and pushed the letter of intro
duction down onto Grooloy's ' manuscript.
Cirooloy did not look up , but keeping his pen
still going , lie took his loft hand and with bis
thumb and forellnger snapped the letter off

didate nnd Horace Clark , of Now York ,
though not a candidate himself , was tbo
loader of the Douglass democrats nnd of that
faction of our party which bcllo"od in squat
ters' sovereignty. It was ho who denounced
Sherman as having endorsed the Helper
booic , and bo was one of the influential men
of the house. Toward the latter part of ttio
contest , which ran on into January , Sherman
got as high ns 105 votes , and ho Anally with
drew his name , ana 1'cnnington of Now .ler-
soy was elected on the fortieth ballot. Just
before this Horacco Clark called upon mo nt

you speaker of the house if you will promise
tno ono tnlug , Sherman has Just so many
votes , nnd ho cannot got nny more. It Is the
same with Ilocock nnd with the other candi
date. If you will consent to bo n candidate

votes to secure jour election. Tlio ono thing
I want you to promise Is that when you nro
elected you will make up a majority of tbo
committee of territories of Douglass demo
crats , und that you will make mo the chair

"IwasMthcr surprised at this romarit
from Mr. Clark , " said Senator Keagan , "and
I ropllcd : 'Mr. Clark , I lilto you very much ,

A western congressman gives mo the fol
lowing glowing talk about the now mining
regions of Colorado. Said ho :
"One of the best of the now regions is that
about Aspou. It will produce more
than $8,000,000 worth of ere this
year. Loadviho produces nn average
of about ? 15,000,000 annually. It sometimes
rises as high ns 918,000OOL ) and sometimes
falls as low as $12,000,000 , and thU average of
production has been kept up for moio than
eleven years. The mmingroglon of Colorado
Is practically inexhaustible. Now mines are
being opened every day , and I doubt not but
that more than 33,000.000 will be turned out
during the next twelve months. H is ad
mitted that there are 811,009,000 worth of ere
in sight at Aspen. Ono of the most success
ful miners in tha west is Dave MolTat , tha
man who wns bulldozed out of a fortune by a
man nnd his bank nt Denver not long ago.
Ilo owns the Fiankhn , which Is paying very
well and out of which $3,000 was tauen In Uvo
inontus. The ere of this mine Is of a very
high graOo , and a wagon load of It bus been
worth as much as § 26,000. Tbo Smuggler Is
n good producer. Tlio Molly Gibson looks
Hue a Jewelry shop , the silver is so apparent.
Henry ullllsplo , who went out to this romon
on snowshoea , made a fortune out of the Spar
nnd the Smuggler , nnd ho had $1,000. Ilo lost
nil this and then got an interest in the Mollv
Gibson which Is now worth $300,000 to him. "

the employes have obtained individual
bondsmen or the guaranty of suruW.compan
ies. Now the company has established its
own bondinu system , nnd the tnon will
provide the indemnity fund. The
yearly charge to the employe la SU for
$ .H > 0 security ; 1.40 for SiOJ , and 80.75
for $1,000. In the order Issued on the sub
ject the company says that the money ro-

and separate fund and the bulunco nftor piy-
Ing the loisos tliroutih "fraud , default or
negllpenco'1 of employes will bo annually
distributed among1 the men In proportion to
their payments. There Is one clause of the
bonding order which the mon object to. It
reads :
Tlio company shall bo the solo Judge Of the

ally bo bonded , of the rates of premiums , of
the times mid amounts of icdlstrlbutlons , of
what employes shall participate In redistri

ify the system of oondlng in uny roipautat
any time.
The employes must accept the conditions
and they may bo discharged at any tlmo
without notice. The men do noUlnd s'o much
fault with the bonding scheme as with the
requirement to furnish their pictures to the
company. The bonding charges of the ex
press company aru loworth.in those of the
surety companies. The express company ,
however , is the lolo Judge of the extent of its
loss. If n surety company furnished a bond
It would require the express company to present -
sent proof of its loss. Wl'llo ' protecting itself
by the bonding scheme the ex press company
may at Uiosmna llhio proceed against or recover -

cover from the employe. . . <
The mon say that the express company's

G.iinpers on Hours of 'labor.
During the past wools the council of

of the session was the address of President
Gompors , which was delivered FriJay. In
substance he spolco as follows :
From the time that Aristotle declared that
"that is'tho most perfect system" of society
which provides for the happiness , of nil its
members" down to our present ura , when wo
are living under a constitution based upon
the theory "that all are born free nnd equal , "
u struggle has boon waged between the
wealth-producers and the wealth-absorbers
to obtain a larger snnro of the result of
human o.xorilonscommonly known under the
name labor. At ono tlmo the crcntast aim in
life and the loftiest aspnr.Uons were to de
velop the militant side of tha human charac
ter ; now wo llnd , through the ovor-increns-
ln < j spirit of commercialism , the demand for
greater industrial progress and development.
And yet , while the now order of progress is
still battling with tha last vestiges of feudal
and medieval conditions , the new order con
tains elements within Itself struggling with
each other for ascendancy for still greater
progress for the full roaliration of the decla
ration of that grand and earliest of philoso

On the other hand the wage-workers , who ,

View the movement to reduce the hours

PrlnturHMuy Strike.
The Indications point to a well developed
strike among the printers of Washington
city ere many days. Lust week the members
of the typographical union served notice on
the Job oDlcits that on the first of next month
a new soalo of prices for composition would
go Into effect involving nn increase which Is
estimated to nraount to about 10 per cent.
A Washington paper iu commenting upon
the situation says :
"It is probable that this moans war , as the
Job ofllccs as a rule cannot stand-such a raise.
In the case of ono of the largest and most on-
torpilslngolllces In the city ills llgurod out
that the proprietor's iiver'.io ; prollt do not
amount to more than 10 percent on his pres
ent pay roll ; and in another which pets n
good deal of government printing of a class
that is let out to private parties on long contracts - '
tracts , nu additional ! ! ) cent * nthoufiinda ns
would wlpo out every penny of prollt on these
contracts.
Washington Inn suffered a good deal from
the tyranny of labor In till Its manifold forms ,
hut la no domain worse than in the printing
trade. Tlio reason of this is obvious. Tlio
government printing olllco , which has always
boon run as n hugj political machine , piys
tbo highest wages for the easiest won ; of any
concern in the country , It is the natural cen
ter and stronghold of trade-union tyranny ,
because it is under direct control of aud in
constant contact with congress ; nnd the am
bition 4)a largo shine of iho members of the
lower house nt le.ist Is to pose as the friend
of labor nnd got the vdtos of the printers as a
body nt homo. Under the patronage system
largo numbers of printer * find their way to
Washington and into the government employ.
A change of ii'tmitil-ttr.Uton or n deficiency in
the nppromlatlons ciusosnhu'go number of
dismissals , and the men who nro turned off
soon drift Into the local job nnd newspipor
olllces. Of course thu rule operates hero as
elsewhere that-other things being oqiial
the men who are llrst dismissed from
government employ nrq those that can Do
easiest spared ; nnd the result is that the
private printing oftlcos got a lot of the most
worthless sot of hriutors , who loqulro to be
coddled or thre.itl'iietl. helped or suspended sit
every turn aud watched all the time. In each
oflUothere area finv thoroughly good and
trusty men , who-aronuttlflcntl } Independent
in feeling to prater (0 ( work for a private em
ployer r.ither th.uv . run the gauntlet of politi
cal vicissitudes oii'thu government pay-roll.
They leaven the ivrit < of the lump In a meas
ure , nnd necessarily receive a periodical
bonus in addition -to the regular union rate
of wages. But the trash are envious of the
good mon and the ( rash control the union.
They nro continually demanding that the
plane of workiniiiship bo brought down to
their level , and thb-jllano of pay raised to the
point attained by1 tin'best ' of the craft.
"Thodeinornliaing'influencoof ' tno presence
of the government ? 'printing oinco in Wash
ington , bullying * congress and setting the
pace In hours and prioo , has been seriously
folt-throuehouti the trauo. By makjug It Im-
poaslblo fcr.spmc ofvtbp bcst , pihitiuy houses '
hero to pompotqiywilh houses in other citlo'a
nearby in.biddinK for , prolltabl ? contracts ,
the local union has succeeded In driving out
of town a large amount of business , l.ialti-
inoro. Philadelphia'oiroii New York , get the
benefit of work which 'might Just ns well bo
done in this city. There is no excuse for the
policy pursued. Washington is not a dear
town to live In. Tlio markets are abundant
nnd prico3 reasonable ; clothingund other do
mestic necessaiios nro easily within reach of
modest purses ; and rents , in those quarters
of the city which uio not esteemed fashion
able , nro far from exorbitant. There Is no
complaint on such scores a * this. The only
theory which seems to govern the agitators
is that tliero are u great many printers hero ,
and enough money must bo forcsJoutof
somebody's pocket to "g6 around. "
"It may be , therefore , that the walking
delegate'who blooms In the spring will order
n gonrr.il close-oat .this reason , If the pro
prietors of the Job' oQlcoa continue In" thuir
present state of mind , the union will bo In
formed that it is at. Jlbarty to do its worst.

roads have at hst concludoj to organize nnd
during the next two woolis moat , of thorn will
join the brotherhood. General Organizer
Miles W. Barrett of Chii'U'O In spwtdng of
the movement says : ' 'This is a wise move
on the pirt of the switchmen , for should a
misunderstanding hereafter arise between
them and the railway company they will
have a head to which they can appeal , and
as the association deus not approve of stdkoa.
except as n last resort , it is safe to predict
that the regular montaly strikes have como
