Representative Kasson, of Towa, left for New York last nighte To a friend, in conversation before leaving, he represented the outlook for the republican party in New York and Pennsylvania as not at all discouraging. He criticised the attitude of ex-Secretary Bialne, and gave tt as his opinion that waile Mr. Blaine had no hope of the presidential nomination him- Self, he expected to have strepzth enoigh in the next national convention to dictate the nomina- ton, as he did at the last convention, ani re-enter public life as the premier, In caso o* the success of the national republican ticket in 1884. He related an episode pending the vote to pass the river and harbor bill over the President's veto. In close proximity to Mr. Kasson’s seat in the last Con- ress sat Representatives Crapo, Chandler and Narcross, of Massachusettss, “I see,” sald Mr. Kasson, when the vote was pending, “that Massachusetts 1s for this DiI.” “Yea,” said Mr. Crapo, “and I see also that Iowa 1s Kindly disposed.” “Oh, yes,” said Mr. Kasson, “how could we be otherwise? In Iowa we are | benefitted. Now in Massachusetts you are re- | formers, and Qpght to lead the way. I think one thing, gentlemen, that you will hear from your | Yotes.”” It ts history now that Mr. Crapo was de- feated for the gubernatorial nomination In Massa- chusetts owing largely to his vote on the river and | harbor bill, and that one of the others has not been renominated for Congress. The Bar Association and Judge Bundy. The Bar Association has adopted the report of the committee on grievances on the complaint against the action of Mr. C. 8. Bundy, while act- Ing judge of the Police Court, in placing Mr. R. M. Newton, a lawyer, In custody. The report om- braced the statements of several witnesses, ani closed with a resolution “that the president of this association be instructed to inform the Supreme Court of the District of Columbla and each of the Justices thereof, that in the opinton of this asso- elation, Mr. C. S. Bundy is not a Mt person to dis- charge 'the duties of the police judge and, in be- half of the association, to request that he shail hot be again designated to discharge the duties ot that office.” The action of the Bar Association in the adop- tion of the report of the committee 1s the theme of comment in the neighborhood of the court house to-day, and quite a number of the members of the bar question the right of the association to take such action, Neither Mr. Bundy nor Mr. Newton were members of the association. Some think that Mr. Bundy can sustain an action against the association, and say that he owes it to. himself and the bar generally to take such action. Mr. Bundy having prepared a statement for Mr. Fendall, which was read with the report of the committee, some of the members of the bar asso- ciation claimed that he assented to the jurisdic. tion of the assoclation, notwithstanding in a former letter he questioned thelr right. Mr. Bundy stated this morning toa Srar re- porter that he hardiy knew what course to pursue, and was uncertain whether he ougiit to take any public notice of the action, The association had ordered their report to be lald before the judges of the court and it would be his duty to present his side of the case there. He was not aware-that under the articles of incorporation the association was any more than a library association. The as- soclation was formed June 5th, 1874, and the ob- Ject set forth is “to maintain the honor and diz- nity of the profession of the law and the increase of its usefulness in promoting the administration of Justice; the mutual improvement and social intercourse of its members; to acquire and main- tain a law brary,” &c.
