Llama. Two of the Vermont delegation
Charles II. Joyce and Dudley &. Dennison
will enter upon their first term.
or tue old members, sixty.eigbt are re-
publcans, and of these the most conspicu-
GUS for their ability and congressional ex.
perience are, James G. Blaine of Maine,
speaker of the three preceding houses
Eugene Hale of the same state George i.
IIoar and Henry l.. Pierce of Massachu-
sets William A. Wheeler of New York
James A. Garfield, Charles Foster, jr.,
William Lawrence and James Monroe of
Ohio; George w. McCrary and John A.
Kasson of Iowa Stephen A Hubert Of
Illinois and all of these, the first being
speaker aud the others chairmen of com
mittees during the last congress, will, under
the new dspensation, be compelled to oc-
cupy the lower seats in the synagogue and
serve on the tail end of committees.
The democracy elected forty of the old
members, aud all of these will go up higher
and most of them occupy the front seats
and be chairmen of important committees,
and, 1t must be confessed, they have plenty
of material. OF these may be mentioned,
Fernando Wood and s. S. Cox of New
York Samuel J. Randall and Hester
Clymer of Pennsylvania; Philip f. Thomas
and Thomas Swami of Maryland Alexan-
der II. Stephens of Georgia; John Young
Brown and Milton J. Durham of Kentucky
Milton Sayler and Milton ]. Southland of
Ohio Lucius @. G. Lamar OF Mississippi
William S. Holman of Indiana William
Il. Morrison of Illinois, and Others. Of
the new members, on the democratic side
who may be expected to become promi-
nent are Michael g. Kerr of Indiana and
Charles G. Faulkner of West Virginia, who
have been members of a previous congress,
and Gilbert g. Walker of Virginia, Henry
b. Payne of Ohio, John II. Reagan and j.
w. Throckmorton of Texas, and w. =.
Lynde of Wisconsin.
The Oldest member of the house by con-
secutive years of service, and one difficult
to classify politically,is William d. Kelley,
the champion of pig iron and in,roconvert-
ible bonds and greenbacks. He has been a
member for fourteen consecutive years,
having been first elected to the Thirty
seventh congress, and to him will be as
signed the duty of administering the oath
of office to the new speaker-possibly to
his colleague Samuel j. Randall, who now
enters upon his thirteenth year of service.
William S. Holman, democrat, of Indiana,
the "great objector," has served the sane
number of years as Judge Kelley, bIng
first elected to the Thirty-sixth conLress,
but failed of an election to the Thirty-nnlb,
while Fernando Wood, of New York, is
the Oldest member in time of service hay
ing been elected to the Twenty -seventh
congress- S4l--and having been mem.
Der Of five subsequent houses. Alexander
Ii. Stephens, of Georgia, has served the
greatest number of years. having been
member from 1S43 to 1859 and again since
1878. James G. Blaine, of Maine, and
James s. Garfield of OHIO have been men,
bers since 1868
Since the election year ago, four mem
bers Of the house have deceased, namely
Samuel +. Hersey of Maine, James Buifing-
ton of Massachusetts, George A. La Dow
of Oregon, and Augustus +. Allen of New
York.-but the vacancies occasoned there
by have been filled by special elections.
The new house will miss the presence of
a large number of men whose names have,
for years, been identified with the history
of congress. Among the republicans who
will be 30 missed are Luke p. Poland and
Charles w Willard of -thia- state Henry
l.. Dawes and EbeneZer X. Hoar of Massa-
chusetts Joseph r. Hawley of Connect
cut Robert S. Hale of New York Jere-
miah S. Wilson of Indiana Horace May
nard of Tennessee besides many others
among who there are Benjamin +. Butler,
"Sugg Fort Butler and 1.-The Great Ameri-
can Franker" Platt whose room will be
much better than their company OF the
democrats, who declined or failed of re-
election, whose places it will be difficult to
fill, are Cllrkson N. Potter of New York,
William Z. Nlblack of Kentucky, s. s.
Marshall OF Illinois and James b. Beck of
Kentucky.
For one other thing, the new house will
be remarkable-for duplication of names
and with brief reference to this we will
dismiss the subject. Some one curious in
the matter has studied the roll and from
the result we learn that there are seven
Williams three Harris two Bagleys
two Bakers two Browns two Burch-
ards and two each of Caldwells, Cannons,
Clarks, Hamltons-besides one in the
senate-Hewtts, JOnes-and two in the
senate-Landers, Mackeys, Phillips, Reil-
leys, Robbins, Ross, Smiths, Townsends,
Vances, Walkers, Wallaces-a and one in
the senate-Wilsons, and Woods, while in
the the senate Cameron, Jones and Nor
rill are the only names duplicated.
