tEcnchmen5 and administrative geform
HoN. Samuel J. Randall, Of Penn.
sJiTania, chairmaE of sie Committee
on Appropriations, who has cut down
annual Government expenditures $50
oOU,01O, and but for the Republican
Senate would have secured reduction
, Of $65, 0O0,O00.
HoN. S. S. Cox, Of New York, chair
man of The Committee on Banking aud
, Currency, the raady and facile cham
Dlon in debate, and who finally ma
tured and carried the bills solving .he
resumption question.
HON. Milton Sayler, of Ohio, who, as
Chairman of the public Lands Com
mittee, allowed nc swindles to pass his
lines, and cut off many of the ioyal
from the rich pIacers of former years;
and who, as Speaker pro tenn, has pre-
sided with such ability, fairness and
dignity as to chagrin the Republicans
by throwing their best ex-Speakers 10
the shade.
Hon. II. 3. Banning, of Ohio, Chair
man of the Committee on Military AZ
fairs, who attacked and exposed the
Indian Ring, ana forced the considera.
ZION of army reorganization SO as to
increase efficiency and stop extrava-
| gance and pecuation. As rule Dem
ocratic Union soldiers are especially
unpopular with the Republicans, who
prefer suffers and contractors.
HON. Randall L. Gibson, of Louisi
ana, Chairman Of the New Orleans
Custom House Committee, who caught
brother-in- law Casey in his steals. il
makes Radicals shudder to think that
an ex Confederate Major General
should have the audacity to prove the
brother-iu law Of Grant worse thief
than Tweed.
Hon. j. S. c. Blackburn, of Kentuc-
ky, is villified because of his great elo-
Quence and ability, and uncompromi-
sing devotion to duty and bis scorn of
shams; and because the Radicals can
never bring themselves to believe in
the restoration of the Union and The
settlement of the issues of che war,
and always abuse men like Blackburn.
who prove that there is no more ex-
cuse for the existence Of the party of
hate and plumber.
Hon. Bernard G. Caulield, of Hi
nois, who had the audacity TO question
the greatness Of the Repu blican Fetish
Davenport, and even 20 jess about
that great man, whose patent machine
for manufacturing Republican voters
and absorbing money was the admira-
ton of the loyal. His reports, expo
sing beyond contradiction she syste-
matte election frauds and swindles of
the Custom House Ring, have made
'iin, with the Republicans, among tue
least popular of the Congressman.
HON. Abram S Hewitt, Of New York
who wrote the report about the late
lamented Minister to England, is q !
practical SORT of a man, with strong
tendency for finding Gus the truth
about rascals and totally incapable of
seeing how devotion to loyalty and |
freedoms cause should forbid any
narrow views about the pecuniary &C.
QUESTIONS of the loyal. Besides he is
chairman of the Democratic National |
Committee, and supported Tilden all
through, and what could be worse !
than that.
HON. Gilbert G. Walker, Of Virginia,
Chairman of the Committee on Educa-
ton and Labor, because nc Freedman
swindles like Conway's could pass his
Committee, and because, a Northern
man, he became one of the people with
whom ne cast his lot, and espoused the
true interests Of Virginia, instead of
plundering, like Plat and Wells. The
Radicals hate him with cordial hate,
as the embodiment of the real union of
the North and South. 4 Northern
Democratic Governor Of Southern
State, and Northern Democratic Re-
preventative of the Confederate capital
proves too much for the party whose
foundation is in eternal separation of
North and South.
Hon. James D. Williams, of Indiana
Chairman of the Committee on Ac-
counts, who cut down the expenses of
the House and stopped the thousand |
little leaks of extravaganza, even the
lemonade SO dear to the heart of Fos-
ter of Ohio. He wears blue Jean
homespun; and the luxurious Republi-
cans CONTEMPORARY call him Blue
