- TIE REPUBLICANS WILL WHIP THEM,
and it is to avoid any such calamity as this that
they forced the extra session upon us,--and it
has been very expensive session, too, can
assure YOU; extra sessions are always expensive,
although We kept the expenses down the best
we could"
"How did the two new members from the
Second and Third Districts act-Davis and Bur-,
berln ...
"Georoe r. Davis Is one of the most Iudustrf-
ous men ever knew; and an industrious man.
although he may be new member, can do great
deal. Davis, I don't think, C, CT missed an hour
perhaps, when he was In the Committeeman.
He watched everything very closely, and was
prepared to vote upon any question without
having to be posted IN, Us Is great manf times
the case With new members. Barber, as you
know, is lawyer and man OF ability. lie was
at his post constantly, except when he vas ap-
pointed upon funeral committee to 20 to
iowa which took him perhaps ten days away
from his post. They are both good n.en.'

sYes. There were great many questions
coming up that were Of vital interest to Illinois,
and We thought it best to get the members to-

cuses in particular but VIC found there were
men hanging around that kept watch OF these
things, and they would manage to get them
selves into the seats of the delegation where
