pleasant remarks between tho gentlemen

campaign timber. Mr.. Frye read o paragraph
from the STATES commenting upon tho sentence
In Blaokburns speech repeating all war legis-
latlon. for garblina which Mr.. Mckinley was
called to account yesterday. The paragraph
quoted few lines from the Kentuckian's
speech. and twisted the extract TO suit the un-
reconstructed sentiments OF the editor. Before
Mr. Frye had ceased reading the paragraph Mr..
Blackburn. who was In the CHAIR. sent for Mr..
Ciymcr TO preside over the Committee. The Ken

radical leader. waited for him to finish. As
