They have not paraded their good works
before the people for the peoples approbl

deeds of charity within the limits Of their
own people, but, on the contrary, their be-
ueyolence is best known in the hearts of

Frye sit on the outer rim OF the circle OF
seats. They locked arms and walked
around through the crowd and down the
center aisle. The crowd smiled approx
ingly as the procession OF two approached
the desk. There are smiles and smiles
alone for Names strong young Senator's.
Mr.. Hale led Mr.. Frye down to the foot OF

tor-elect ascerded until he stood before the
Vice-Preside1t, who administered TO him
the ironclad oath, aud shook him warmly
by the hand. Then Mr. Hale shook his

popular Representative, VIM. +. Frye. has
been elected 70 the t. $. Senate. We be-
leyc him justly entitled 10 the promotion,
when we remember his long and faithful

ever a true partisan, az the same time dis
playing an independence Of opinion when
ever he could "scrye his party best by
