!
the Presidents Message.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
To give fair idea of the feeling the mes
sage has produced here, the following laconic
expressions of members serve to show:
Wood, of Pennsylvania-Fine essay on
the prosperity of the agricultural depart
rnent. Entertaining disquisltion on Indian
affairs and other subjects, perhaps OF inn
portance, which don't strike one.
Senator Kellogg-Haven' read it.
Chapman Freeman, of Pennsylvania-Ioo
long too general, too weak and if ne had
anything to write about he couldn't have
known how.
Lathrop, of IIinois-It's all right. Fact
is, since last election things have SO quoted
down that the people don't care much what
the President says.
John Goode-One of the weakest State
papers ever issued from an Executive.
Herr Smith, of Pennsylvania should
have been made stronger on the Southern
outrage question.
Caswell, Of Wisconsin-It will have good
effect III making people think, especially on
the Southern question.
Fernando Wood expresses the same opin-
ion in private that he did on the floor, that
there is nothing important in it except the
Southern question. Other members agree
that this is the only point which viii com
mand much attention.
Knott, Of Kentucky-The whole paper is a
discredit to the administration. Cannot
think the cabinet had much to do with it,
for it would then have been more marked.

because there is at this time very little that
| Ha mn foo To ,,o,
impression. Congress should take notice of
the suggestions as to the South and inyesti-
gate.

preferred stronger talk, but ON the whole
likes it.

says he wants The allegations fully inquired
into, and it will be shown that no dishonoE
attaches to Mississippi at least.

considering.
slemons, Of Arkansas Milk and water,
and deviiish little substance in the milk.
James, of New York, Briggs, OF Now
Hampshire, and Patterson, of New York

opinion.
