Several Democratic papers, and
notably the St. Louis Times, abuse
Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana, for
offering to Withhold his voto at the
special session Of Congress. What
the Senator really said was, that if
his colleague. Senator Morton, went
to the District of Columbia and,
while there, was by reason of physi-
cal weaknoss, unable to go tho Capi-
tol, he would pain with him. The
promise did not affect Senator
Mcdonald further than that.
