COHGRESSMEN RRG IRE Not

Hon. L. Q. c. LAMAR, Of Mis-
sissippi, whose clear political sa
gscity, philosophical moderation
and convincing logic confousd
the bitterness of tie Radicals, ant
defeats their cunning plans 70
perpetuating sectional hate. Hi

perhaps the most unpopular Den
ocrat with the Republican mem
bers. Frye, of Maine, hates him
especially since he so signaily
punished him in the Mississippi
election debate, and showed wha
q mean little fellow Blaine's cham
pion was.
Hon. WILLIAM A. PIPER, o
California. who exposed the COW.
ardice of the Republicans or the
Chinese question, and denounced
their iucompetency to deal with
questions of race and labor
Democrats who showed their pat
riotism as volunteer soldiers as ful
back as The Mexican war, are of.
fensiye TO the Radicals, who deny
the existence Of patriotism among
Democrats. Besides, the aristo'
cratic Republicans don't like self
made men, unlessthey have made
themselyes by contracts or other
profits at the public expense.
Hon. JOHN K. LUrTREL, Of
California, who is q Democratic
farmer, and suspected Of being q
Granger, and from wearing a
linen. duster in the Honse became
almost as offensive as Blue Jeans
Williams.
Hon WIN. M SPRINGER, of Iii
nois, who constantly defeated the
parliamentary plots Of the Radi.'
Gals, and whose presence in his
seat was notice that no party
tricks would escape exposure.
Hon. Hester Clymer of Penn.

noir of thu Republican press as
soon as he caught Belknap in his
crime. Before that he was rather
well thought of by the Republi
cans, but they never forgive any
one who catches all official thief.
To Mr.. Clymer's ability and
promptDess in forcing Belknap's
confession the GRANTEES justly
ascribed their failure in renomina.

Hon. Gustave SchIeicher, Of
Texas, the able exponent Of the
necessities and position of the
Southern frontiers men. Besides,
az a German gentleman of rare
culture and scholarship, he is very
distasteful to the Republicans,
who only love Germans when
they ale ignorant enough or venal
enough to be csjoled or bribed in
to voting the radical ticket. The
more the list of Democratic Rep>
resentatives is scrutinized, the
more the truth is apparent that
the prominent Democratic mem
bers of the FOrty>fourth House
are beyond assault on any other
grounds than their devotion to
Re union, Retrencbment and Re.
Hon. James D. Williams, of
Indiana, Chairman of the Com
on Accounts, who cut down
the expenses of the House and
stopped the thousand little leaks
Of extravaganza, even the lemons
ade 80 dear to the heat of Foster
of Ohio. He wears blue Jean
homespun, and the luxurious Re-
publicans contemporary call
Blue Jean Jimmy. A strong,
clear.headed, practical, common
sense man-iD personal appear
ance an exaggeration of Abraham
Lincoln-a hater of all frauds,
follies and shams. AS Governor
of Indiana, Uncle Jimmy Will
liams will be even less popular
among the Republicans than as
Chairman of the Committed Of
Accounts. What could be more
to the M~ortonites than a
Governor who wears blue jean and
is small enough to be particular
about accounts
Hon. j. s. G. Blackburn, Of
Kentucky, is villifed because Of
els great eloquence and ability and
incorporating devotion to duty
und his scorn Of shams; and be-
