Lamar is the only Democrat in the
House whose reputation has stood the tes,
of debate with the skilful and invincible
Republicans On the floor this winter. Ker,
is an idvalid, Randall, Cox, Hill, Wood
Holman, Clymer, and all the rest of the
party are hos dS.oombd while Blaine, Hoar,
Wheeler, Hale, Kasson and Others of the
Republibans find an easy victory in nearly
every contest Lamar came out of the con.
test on Tuesday, in better condition than any
other OF his party, after discussion in the
House, this winter. He saved himself
that was all. 1t was lucky for him, in view
oil the praise he has received from party
organs, that he was not laid out fiat but
he must be careful in the future, or he will
get tnpped as 90 many of his friends have
been before him. Such an event would
cripple him badly for the future.
