It is not the least strange that the Bourbon
side of the House felt put out yesterday, when
they were taken ia by Blaine on the election
eering bill:
The report that Caleb Marsh made his
money in the bribe- giving business is all
myth. lie made every cent Of it by selling
grated turnips for horse-radish.
The New York Tribune is going around ask
ing everybody to kick Hester Clymer. If the
Tribune were not so near-sighted, it would
readily see that there is not enough of the
man to kick with any respectability. "
If the fathers and mothers of Washington
do not want their children to grow up Pendle-
tons and Robbins, they will sec to it that when
they make claim on their attention and

The Democratic Congressional Committee,
Hester Clymer chairman, sends out circular

Bowles has been silent for three days, and
now, amid sounds and clamors of inyestiga-
tion and rumor, VIC hear voice crying in
plaintive despair: "Bowles, Bowles, why

The women OF Wyoming think great deal
of the elective franchise, but it would seem

know what the truth may be, but certainly all
gentlemen who have served in this House for
