am disposed to believe Mr. Chairman that tn.
present occupant OF the palace Is not II nj genuine
locofoco, haId.handed democrat. lie can; have the

scites, and grlsh fnery, almost as much a real
Bank Wing loves hard cider Ry the act of the

thousand dollars "fJr furniture of the Presidents
House quote the language of the law, for FUR

agent for purchasing furniture for the President
House, from, 18th April, lSi7, to lith May, 1885"
would, therefore, respectful inquire whether six
asso,s and rosattns are considered household funi-
turc in the legitimate democratic meaning ofihc word!
ask, sir, whether silk tassels and rosottcs' can be

household furniture of hard handed locoioto Are
silk tnsscs and rosets" hcrea.teriO be written down
deemed, and taken IN the same category with frying
pans, oaken chests, chatt-bags and circuit tubs As
well might the honest citizen of Tupchackcn valley
who carnsh his by 10 looking glnss with string
