Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Cameron could ap.
prove Mrs. Sprague's course, others should
not be too rigorous. When Mr.. Conkllng
made his first long speech In debate his
private secretary retained scat in the spe-

her side TO protect her from the enormous

He inquired very particularly OF the ser.

Mrs. Sprague not being mentioned, he

Sprague was the last to arrive, but here
Conkling remained till she made her an.
