, the loco foco parsisana to pass p o;l'
little noise. Since the whia p', s,v with

dozen loco foco speakers m sn. hall

OF the name of Summers, whom n na
since heard named the ..mo,;o u ! h,'s

Whlle this abuse Of the wbir Nh
was gong Oh, one of the wb;ass Aula
right of the Hall, (Mr. Miller, avn, ~ 's
several occasions and inquired 4, ~ !. y
Speaker if it were proper for ., as, 81 'h'
to indulge in such bitter inyec,iSs " an.;
Mr.. Edwards whose name was . dsaaS
stricken out-and the only name hss
the House being that Of MIR, Nc K .s'oa
and when the Speaker seemed r,,Ss aly
different about the matter, he snoEs =. =
in bold language, that what the loeo r' g. y
members had said of Mr.. Edwards y
palpable falsehood, and that that psr \.
mans character would greatly suffer h.
comparison with his vilIifers, O, vo.a,
somewhat to tina, effect. Mr.. Walvo.t
wing, here arose and was making -.
pretty and appropriate reply to the d.,
lers of the opposition members when H.
Speaker directed him to keep the an,
ton. Mr.. Walworth reminded the sn.
ker that he was only making repIr !,
The arguments of other gentlemen, u n,
The Speaker permitted him to proceed
was in hopes some of the other viii,

some few pertinent remarks by Nh, p.
ter, they kept silence; and the vote b,;s,
taken on the motion to give the prini,.

carried by party vote.
l have made some little INQUIRY II,
The past and present history Of the Inv, |
Legislature, so far as politics are con,,r
ed; and find tina, the House of Renre,sn
atives at the session of 1899 and IAN |
contained about six wings and twenty b. |
20 iocos, and the Council stood in abou |
The same proportion. The last elecio,
politics was little more stirred, and h. |
present House Of Representatives contains |
1i'een loco focos, and eleven whigs-,h,|
Council seven loco focos and six whip |
But hereafter il the lines are drawn clos. |
t is, am told, tolerably we'll ascer,aiDej |
hat Desmoine, Lee, Henry. Louisa
Johnson, Muscaline, Washington. Scott |
md Jackson counties will all send whi,,
which will give them large majority.
All the officers of the presen! Hous
# Representatives being Ten in numbsr, !
am told are loco focos. The incidentl
printing of the Council as well as tbs,oil
he House of Representatives, and also |
he printing of the Laws is given 10 The |
oco foco printer at Burlington. Tie |
rlnting of the Journals of the Councils |
lven to the loco foco Editors at Bloom. |
1gton-and the printing of the JournaI, |
t the House Of Representatives is given
the loco foco editors at Du Buque.
| am told some of the loco foco mem, /
ers openly boastthat they "have made
lean sweep of whiggery" and others say
that the d-n ,chigs shall al,oayshrt
fter in 1o1ca be trampled uaaer feet"
l have no comments to make on le
onduct of the loco focos-I believe
ave stated facts, which | am willig
lould 60 for what they are worth.
