Idationism, by arnyins themselves against the
lavish expenditures Of the irresponsible Wing
head at the other end Of the avenue.
Mr.. Mangum replied. He Thought there were
slhers to blame for the increased expenditure by
the General Govemusent. The Senator'S own

troll Of both branches ofCsnsress. The Senator

blame was with the party who were in the as
tendency here. The President could do nothing

could expend only what the other party appio-
priated. lie would pursue the subject no further
