That your sleek-fatted pate

" Another matter for which have been

revenue department. Well, if that's true,
why has not the Senate acted upon the
cases of suspension for cause that have
submitted to it. There are great many
of those cases now pending, but they won't
act on them. They have taken no notice
of any but the trifling case of some post
master. have never failed to do my part

corruption. Why don't the Senate act in
what have already called their attention

Vance and other leading men are can

parties appear confident of success. The
canvass on the Constitution is going on

Conservative, are in the field Both sides
