Washington Cor. Denver Tribun,
Dress of Congressmen.

In dress Mr.. Blaine is thoroughly
up to the modern standard. He
wears a double breasted frock coat,
generally wears two buttons buttoned
and allows the rest of the coat to
roll so as to show very neat shirt.
The beauty of the coat is that when
it is closely buttoned it gives the
wearer a very compact appearance
that never fails to become well built
men. There is a dignity about this
closely.ftting ouble-breasted frock
that can be found in no other article
of a mans wardrobe. Fernando
Wood would lose nine-tenths OF his
impressive dignity were he to put on
a sack coat, Ike that worn by Sunset
Cox, and lounge about in a way as
sumed by many of his Western
brethren. He always wears long.
black coat that buttons tightly up
to the throat and looks as if he
were melted down every evening
and run into his clothes every morn
ing. He is, however, always easy
in his manners, and in this respect
is quite a contrast to most who make
point of dress, like Roscoe Conk-
lin and others of that class. The
best dressed man in the Senate is
Gen. Burnside. He affects the un-
dress military style, and in his pecp=
liar craVat, waistcoat and original
colors, to say nothing of his strik-
ilgly handsome face, is sure to at
tract more than ordinary notice. He
was once a tailor in his early days,
and his training tells for him in
many nice points of art which might
escape other men. Among the worst
dressed in either branch Of Congress
is Sunset Cox. He wears bobtail
sack coat and every one is aware
that bobtail sack coat never fails
to damn little man. His clothes
would not sell for seven dollars and
half in an auction store in the coun-
try, and yet he manages to make
people forget the defciences of his
attire in the agreeable and witty
sound of conversation.
