asking favors Of the new Speaker, and are
prepared to accept whatever he gives them.

wishes will be gratified The delegation, with the
exception OF Rosecrans being composed entirely OF
new members, none ever having served in Congress

better he having also been a supporter Of Carlisle
in his contest The Chinese bill will 90 to the Com
mittee on Commerce, which will be particularly
important committee, from Pacific coast stand
