Special Correspondence Of the Kspunlisan
WAsHHsTos, D. c., Feb. l2'--rhe
promotion Of Mr.. COnger aud 0eneiAI
Joe H&Wley TO the Senate, with the
irrespective election Of Mr.. grye OF
Maine to the same body, transfers 10
the "other end" s0t speak, three wen
trained men. All three are able de-
batsrs, good logioiaus and admirable
parlimentarians. CODger has turned
three score years, bat possessss all the
vigor Of younger man. He is rather
spare In build, weighs hardly more
than 1870 pounds. His voice ia rather
sharp and unpleasant As a debalsr
he Is ready, and in giving and taking
hard thrusts he has no equal in the
House. He can do more to "devil" o
speaker than any member ofthe House.
His motto seems to bs "The Rspubli.
can Party" may it ever be right-but
right or wrong the party.--aeneral
HaWley who will succeed Senator hat0n
Is also one Of the leading members OF
the present House. He Ia splendid
specimen OF well developed manhood
He is not however 3 pleasant speaker.
Mr.. Frye Of Maine who 10 10 succeed
Senator Blaine, is like Mr.. Cox some
thing In the nature Of an electric eel.
He is fifty years Of age, spare and why
As a dsbAter Mr.. Frye is In the front
rank. We're he to remain in the
House there is no doubt but that he
would be its next speaker.
