than the manner OF the speaker. thrilled
the chamber. and their effect was only
equalsd by tho applause which greeted
the sentiment that there was NO power
high enough to compromise the Repub-
lican party to a new policy on the inter
minable Louisiana question. Sherman
looked troubled. but sat in his place and
gave no sign Of reply. Morton looked

Moons indications Of n coming fierce
contest in the Senate against their con.

nominations, and perhaps they will be
supported by a considerable number OF
other Republicans in opposing the con.
