THE BANQUET NEXT MONTH The banquet to be given at the Metro- politan Hotel on the night of April 13, by the National Association of Democratic Clubs, in commemoration of the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, recalls to democrats the history of a similar and noted occa- sion on the same spot sixty-seven years ago. There are those who find similar con- ditions existing and who try to link the past with the present, but others do not find this the case. The intention, at least, of the projectors of the coming event is to make their celebration a noted one in the politics of the country. It may not par- take of the sensational or far-reaching features which characterized the affair in 1880, but it ts the intention that it shall not lack interest. In place of Andrew Jackson will now stand Willlam J. Bryan, the unsuccessful idol of his follower: Jackson was then the idol of an invincible following. One was President of the United States, while the other is a citizen, with merely an ambition to hold the po- sition which Jackson held. The Indian Queen. In 1830 the Indian Queen Tavern stood where the Metropolitan Hotel now is. The old tavern has been repeatedly described in The Star, and this part Is now unnec: sary. It was a gathering place for the distinguished men of that day, and of pre- vious days. Calhoun, Clay, Webster, Jack- son and all the big men of those days spen? lots of their time at the tavern and a number of them boarded there. It was too small to accommodate many regular board- ers, but the room where liquid refresh- ments were dispensed and the stock car- ried were large enough to serve the pur- pose for all the statesmen who saw fit to bestow patronage in that direction, and it is needless to say these were many. During the first of the year 1830 the dem- gcrats decided to make a regular event of Jefferson's birthday, and the idea was that it should be commemorated by a big banquet each year. The idea took shape in a proposition that the first banquet be held at the Indian Queen Tavern on the 1th of April. It was agreed that the banquet should be a subscription affair. The sub- scription list was left with the tavern keeper and was liberally signed, the result being that on the night set there were about 50 persons present, including Pres- ident Jackson and Vice President John C. Calhoun, avout the number which will at- tend the coming banquet. It is not known who ergineered the banquet. John Roane of Virgiria was the president of the gath- ering, and there wefe numerous vice presi- dents, Including George M. Bibb of New York, Levi Woodbury of New Hampshire and Felix Grundy ‘of Tennessee. An All-Night Sitting. There were twenty-four regular toasts, which were responded to with warmth. In addition there were about sixty volunteer toasts, going to show that the gay old fel- lows of those days didn’t mind killing the night hours. It must have been near day- light when the last toast was given and responded to. A peculiar thing is that President Jackson was not among those put down for a regular toast. Neither was Calhoun. These were the two great leaders of that day, and did not hesitate to give ut- terance to their views that night. These same views, or rather those of Calhoun, persistently adhered to for thirty years af- terward by disciples of the same school, led to the civil war. Jackson und Calhoun. At the time of the banquet Jackson and Calhoun were supposedly friends, but at heart were enemies. Calhoun and his sym- pathizers had then begun to guardedly but surely put forward the new doctrine of nullification. The idea hadn’t taken se- rious shape, but the doctrine was well de- fined and had become obnoxious to the be- ilevers of a united country, as well as dear to the hearts of those who held to the sov- ereignty of the states in an enlarged torm. It will be remembered that three years later the ordinance of nullification was passed tn South Carolina, the state refusing to any longer render itself amenable to the laws of the United States. War against the little state was threatened. Benton's Views. Benton, the thirty years’ historian, was one of the men who subscribed to the ban- quet. He says that when he arrived at the hotel he found men standing around in clusters in the ante-room talking in the most serious manner. He alleges that he learned that this seriousness came from the promulgation of the twenty-four regular toasts. He expresses the belief that these savored of the doctrine of nullification. The fear was expressed by a good many that the dinner was arranged to inaugurate the nullification doctrine in a semi-official way. Benton also declares that a number of men left before the banquet began. He says that the men leaning to the doctrine of nullification were attempting to link Jef- ferson’s name with the doctrine. They claimed that he wrote the Kentucky reso- lutions of 1798, and that these resolutions contained the word “nullification,” used in the sense in which it afterward became familiar. Benton denies that Jefferson had anything to do with writing these resola- ons and affirms that the South Carolina school relied on a misrepresentation of the views of the great statesman and chief executive. Old Hickory's Forcible Speech. It is probable that President Jackson ap- prehended that there was a tinge of nulll- fication to the meeting and that he de- termincu, with characteristic courage, to remain and meet the politicians of that school on their own ground. He did re- main, and proposed and responded to <his toast: ‘Our Federal Union. It must be pre- served.” Not only did “Old Hickory” say that {t must be preserved, but he sald that it would be preserved, and throw out a few hints which he followed several years later in dealing with South Carolina. He electrified the country in‘ the speech he made that night. He made known his po- sition in such earnest and forcible words that his admirers throughout the country picked up heart tg, miore strongly eppose the schemes of Calhoun. Calhoup’s’ Toast. The toast of Cathoun that night was: “The Union, next th gur Mberty, the most dear; may we all remember that it can only be preserved by fespecting the rights of the states andiby. distributing equally the benefits and buidens of the Union.” It is thus seen that Calhoun left an opening to threaten a dissolution of the Union. What he said thatinight has not been rre- served, but it wasian ‘answer to the senti- ments of Jackson,’ wlio preceded him. It expressed the views iof his school in as fearless a manners fackson made known his. The two gr men clashed. It has never been charged to Calhoun, but Ben- ton expresses the ‘belief that at that time, and on that occasion,“there was an actual design to dissolve the Union. What Jackson and Calhoun both said was applauded by their respective followers, and the events of the night were long re- membere? by those present, and will re- main forever a part of the history of this country, South Carolina. Hayne of South Carolina responded to one of the regular toasts. He went into a defense of the position of the South Caro- lina men, claiming that they werc misrep- resented, but he declared that there was an attempt to strip the states of every vestige of state's rights. His speech was one of the most eloquent of the many eloquent ones he delivered and was Joudly applauded by soutaern memi During hie speech he SSS Salvation Oil, the greatest cure on earth fs univerrally ‘accept Socsomen ariaus as the ne Dhue ulted of Tinimenta, for pain, veterin- TODAY AND TO qa i =| MORRO * Grand Spring Op T ae ae ening. ow ‘This is just the opportunity Wa: others’.

He was severe In arraigning what he termed was a govern- ment “‘without limitation of powers. South Carolina was apparently very popu- lar that night, for a Philadelphia man pro- posed and responded to this toast: “South Carolina. Her star ts in the ascendancy. May it reach the zenith and illumine the Union.” The democratic motto, “Principles, not men,” was a toast of the evening. Van Buren, Eaton and Branch, members of Jackson's cabinet, were among those pres- ent, but did not make themselves conspicu- ous in any way. President Roane, who presided at the banquet, was at that time the only sur- viving elector of the first clection held in the United States for President and Vice President. One of the toast makers stated that Roane had voted for Washington and had “never voted wrong since.” Soret ans DEATH OF A. M. KENADAY. A Well-Known and Highly Regarded Mexican Veteran Passes Away. Mr. Alexander M. Kenaday, secretary of the National Association of Veterans of the Mexican War, and editor of the Vedeite, died at 2:45 a.m. today at his residence, 2006 G street northwest, after an illness of nearly four years. Mr. Kenaday was sev- enty-three years of age, and was well known to nearly all the veterans of the Mexican war,while he numbered his friends in the national capital and throughout the country by thousands. He was born in Wheeling, W. Va., in 1824, and was of Irish extraction. His father was a captain of a steamboat on Mexican and southern rivers for ten years, and the son, after a brief experience in the composing room of the St. Louis Republi- can, served several years on his father’s boat. He early enlisted in the Mexican war and served throughout it with credit as a sergeant. Later the gold excitement drew him to California, where he spent several years prospecting and in the print- ing business. In 1861 he married Miss Mary L. Cannift of New York city. They had five children, none of whom survive. In 1869 he came to Washington for the Mexican Veterans’ Association, and has re- mained here ever since, attending to the business of the organization and editing the Vedette. He was a prominent member of the Society of California Pioneers. Mr. Kenaday was the life and soul of the Mexican Veterans’ Association, and was the originator and promoter of the move- ment in behalf of his comrades, which re- sulted, after many years of self-sacrificing work, in securing for the old heroes a ser- vice pension. He was a man of most amiable disposition and ready wit, and Was a welcomed companion wherever he was known. He had a remarkable fund of anecdote, many of which were striking pen pictures of the great men who had marked the periods in the nation’s history for the past half century, and a conversation with him, when he was in the vein, was in the natur2 of an education. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. es RANDOLPH. Mrs. Fannfe Gard of Washington spent a portion of last week visiting ber cousin, Mrs. H. P. Keiser of this vicinity.

Temple, dated May 17, 1894, and having attached two codicils dated, respectively, May 4 and 12, 1806, was filed today, James D, Richardson of Murfreesboro, Tenn., being named as executor. The estate is divided among the children and grandchildren of the testator, | Anna M. Jones, @ sister-in-law; Emma 8. Jones, a niece, and Richard M. Robinson, being given $1,000 each, payable out of the testator’s Choctaw claim, CASH OR CREDIT The foul waters of the James Creek canal again this morning gave up their dead, which is growing to be almost an every day occurrence. As usual, it is not known whether the remains are those of an in- d'vidual who was murdered and thrown into the canal or who unluckily fell in ani was drowned. Either is probable. The po- Lice of the fourth precinct are investigating the matter, and in the meantime the swollen body lies on a slab at the morgue. It was a few minutes after 8 o'clock this morning when Charles Jackson, colored, passing along the edge of the murky stream, noticed a suspicious object in the water at a point but a short distance south of the K street bridge. Concluding that the object was a human body, Jackson has- tened to notify the police of h's find, and as quickly as possible Policemen Henry and McGraw of the South Washington pre- eiet proceeded to the scene in the patrol wagon. With the ald of a rope, and after considerable exertion, the body was fished out, placed in the wagon and removed to the morgue. The body was that of a col- ored man about fifty years of age, with bushy hair and side whiskers. He was well dressed, and had probably been in the water about a week. Pinned to the breast of the dead man’s coat and in his pockets were fully 10) badges of all sizes, designs and descrip- tions, commemorative of events from the landing of Columbus down to the present tUme. There were also an open-face nickel watch, a silk bag containing herbs, a loa¢ stone, a magnet and several claws of cats. The police at once recognized the body as that of an old voodoo and herb docto: whose name is supposed to be Barbour. For years past he has been well known to the colored population of the city, being prominent because of his array of badges. It was his daily practice to visit the differ- ent aileys and courts for the purpose of selling his herbs and charms. The badges, he claimed, would shield the wearer from evil and the wicked machinations of en- emies. The man formerly lived in Glick’s alley, and was particularly well known to the police of the eighth precinct. He has not been seen for several days past. Bar- tour had no family. Coroner Hammett was notified of the fir ding of the body, but will take no action until the matter has been iavestigated by the police. The murder theory is not dis- regarded, for the reason that Barbour was not a drinking man, and therefore could hardly have walked into the canal by ac- cident. Those who knew him well say that he would be the very last person to cgmmit suicide. > Crone Nolle Prosned. District Attorney Davis today nolle prossed the case of George Robinson, charged with assaulting Policeman Em- mert the 27th of last October. The defend- ant was convicted some time ago, but was awarded a new trial, a second conviction being considered impossible. poate Se Lange Turns Up. “Big BUI” Lange, the star center fielder of the Chicagos, has arrived in Chicago from the fight at Carson City along with the second consignment of local sporting men. Lange is looking well, although not a little overweight, and says he will play the game of his life this year. He left for Hot Springs, where he will join the other Colts. The guardian of the center garden thinks well of the Ansonites’ chances in the championship race. Lange was a Corbett sympathizer at the ficht and contributed his share to the winnings of the Fitzsimmons followers. ee Will Not Meet the Bostons. Manager Selee of the Boston Club, now in Savannah, has wired Hanlon asking for games with the champions in Savannah, as Boston opens up with Baltimore. Han- lon has decided that he will wait until April 22 before he brings the two teams together. It is not likely that Hanlon will meet any of the league teams before the regular season opens. Hanlon has received a telegram from Joe Corbett stating that he is on his way to Macon, thus giving the lie to rumors to the effect that he was not going to play ball this year.
