Among others, remarked that Mr. Crane, although he
still continues practicng his oratory the right
side this time and argued strongly in their favor.
Mr. Nixon, in the time, who stirred up the whole
fuss said nothing, feeling confident suppose, that the
House could get over the democratic stumbling
block which his astute policy had placed in the way and
