The best explanation. Those who had been
disappointed in obtaining office. and others

Soule aud Belmont, made the election 20

,TH1RTY.TH1RD CONGRESS.
Second Session.

In the Senate, on Thursday, Mr.. Sumner
OF Massac huseiis, offered resolution OF in.
quiry rs 10 the expediency Of abolishing
The Hospital money tax Oh seamen, and Of
allowing them the FREQ use Of hospitals
The resolution was adopted. .
In the House, the debate on the subject
OF Kansas aud Nebraska was resumed.
III. Stephens Of Georgia, said he did MOI
propose TO reopen the discussion on the
Nebraska and Kansas BILL He considered
The question settled then and now. The
passage OF that bill was grand step IN
progress. He didn't agree with Mr.. Mace,
Of Indiana, that the results Of the late cleo:
lions demanded its repeal. Those results
as,onished everybody, bu, how did the gen.
'leman rom Indiana infer that they set the.
seal OF condemnation upon tho friends OF
the great popular movement Of last session.
Those elections had nothing 10 do with the
Nebraska Bill. He referred 10 Pennsylya.
MIA, which had sent 10 tho next Congress-.
men who had both voted for and against
the bill. He said an anli.Nebraska Gov.
ernor Of Pennsylvania, had been elected
by only $1,000 majority, while Canal
Commissioner, with contrary opinions was
elected by 100000 majority. In Massa.'
chuselis, those gentlemen who voted for
The bill were LEFT at home, falling by The
destroying angel who was not seen in the
night. He took Illinois for instance, where
the issue was distinctly made test, there
were but three members who voted for the
bill, but the people returned four. This
shows that tho msahnre was popular ihefe,.
Mr.. Wash5urn, Of Illinois, inquired. what
was The vote for Congressman.
Mr.. Stephens said that the Nebraska can
didate for State Treasurer was ;eleccied by
5000 majority. ID
Mr.. Washburn corrected him by saying
that Moore's lnajo,;,y was. but 1900, and
tina. Miller who ran against him, was not
known rs candidate in the Southern. part
OF the State, and was not voted for there.
Laughter He would have been elscied
i he had received the vote Of his party
there, by five or six thousand majority.

Lofty ideas are these for The political pat

Political sefishness and personal ends must
