Der of the House, whose outright
advocacy of reputation, the other

anti reputation speeches on the
Demo cratic side of the House:
There is an honorable Scion on
the floor who is returned from a
benighted region in Northern Ohio,
where the owls fly about in the day

for short Billy. He owes his eleva-
ton to his musical tastes and abll-
ity. He is a vioIinist, vul9ariy call
ed fiddler, of high rcnOwn. In the
rude regions he represents, the Old
/ barbaric tastes prevail, and a sweet
singer in Israel, OF good performer
on the ungodly fiddle, is looked on
as one inspired, and is voted for at
the next election. At all gather
