conducts it in moderate language.
1t is going that Raum is going to sup
port Cullom for tho senate from Illinois,
and be governor himself. David Davis
still expects a reelection. A beautiful
woman in Chicago whom Davis sounded
on her willingness to marry him, said to
me: ''Plenty of women would take Judge
Davis, old and baggy as he is, but it would
only be for his position
Nordhoff at Washington says Pendleton's
civil service bill will barely pass the SEN

certain.
Everybody here who gets married in the
society news is named Livingston, so
there must have been some Brigham
Young of that name flirting around
like giddy thing about nineteen years
ago, and wherever he paused he sprouted.
Hence the name.
