nine States,
In the senate only ono Northeastern vote
appears among tho eight who would have dis
carded the message il they oou1d, Morton, Of
Minnesota. He seema to represent nothing,-
certainly not the Legislature OF Minnesots.
Nobody knows anything about lin hare. He
is the perpetual stranger Of the Capitol
In the Hoose tho message was declared by
SibiAek, one Of those Old Democrats who seem
to have been "embalmed" in Democratic
protudices By the modern process OF injection
