The .sGrip.sack'' Party Discussed.


When the Senate met this morning, on mo-
ton Of Mr.. Cameron (Wis) a resolution was
adopted authorizing the secretary Of the Senate

funeral expenses of the late Senator Carpenter.
The pending business, being the resolution tor
the election of the officers OF the Senate, was
then taken up: A motion to go into executive
session was rejected-yeaS rs, nays 25.
MR.. HARRIS OPINION AND MOTION.
Mr.. Harris stating that 1t was evident that
the republicans did not intend to transact the
business which the Senate had been called here
to transact, moved that when the Senate ad-
journ to-day 1t be to meet on the first Monday
In December. Lost yeas %, nays %.
Various other motions were made and voted
down.
THE PRESIDENTS INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Mr.. Pendleton called attention to the inaugu-
raj address OF the President in which he stated
that he would ASK In due time, Congress to fix
the tenure OF the minor officers OF the govern
ment. In order that the Senate might no longer
present the spectacle Of wrangling over petty
offices he would move to so into executive ses-
zion.
Mr.. Dawes agreed that the terms OF office
should be fixed by law, but he did not see how
an act could be passed at this special session.
THE ''GRIP SACK PARTY.
Mr.. Hill GAY read letter Issued from the
readJuster headquarters In october, 1850, by
VIM. Malone, In which he alluded to the re-
publican party as the grip SACK party. Did
the Senator know what he meant by the "grlp
sack" party?
Mr.. Dawes.-Is 1t any objection to Riddle
berger in the mind OF the Senator that he voted
for Hancock?
Mr.. Hl.-None In the world.
Mr. Dawes.-Tben, why Is the Senator trou-
bled?
Mr.. HILL am not troubled. l only ask
what is the ''grip sack" party?
Mr.. DaweS.-I don't know. They have down
south all sorts of parties. do not know what
they represent. The Senator from Ga. ought
to know. He ought to know every phase OF
every political party that had ever come up, for
certainly il anybody has tried them all 1t must
be the Senator from Georgia. [Laughter.l !
do not know any party that that Senator has
not given his adhesion to. l remember letter
written by him after Garields election advls-
ing everybody to join Garfield's party, and in
yoking the public to come up and join the
party which had succeeded. Laughter That
seems to be the first motion in the mind OF the
Senator IN all his political sailing about the
country laughter In his ship OF state to find
out what party has succeede0. and then to an.
nource his desire to go with that party. /
think he said nobody could tell how much he
loved Garfleld-passing the love OF woman.
