ROUGH SKETCHES
Of q Few United States Senators,
as Seen from the Repor-
terS' Gallery.
From; the Cincinnati Enquirer.

! Last Wednesday accepted a invi-
tation from George GiIiiiand, a Wash
ington correspondent OF the Enquirer,
10 take look at the United States
senate from the reporters gallery.
Here are q few rough sketches Of sew
eral statesmen more or less known
throughout the nation. If they are
not as accurate as might be you can
attribute it to the distance at which
they we're scanned.
Ingalls,, of Kansas. is the best talker
on the Republican side of the senate.
Tall, slim, with iron-gray hair and
eyeglasses on, wearing close-itting
black frock coat, tightly bnttoned
over his rather slim chest, he looks
like a minister Of the gospel. He has
pleasant smile, and seems to be we'll
liked BY his colleagues.
DON Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, is
quite . young. locking senator, but be
wears Eyeglasses. His sandy mus
tache. bristling out from beneath a
rather prominent and well-shsped
nose, gives him a strong profile. He
is getting a bald spot on the back
part of his head, which shows that he
is no longer a spring chicken. When
addressing the chair his words fail to
reach the reporters gallery,
Angus Cameron, of Wisconsin.
has a marked physiognomy. Face
fiorid and rather inclined to the haten-
et-shsped order, retreating forehead /;
mead innocent of hair. save around the
base, prominent nose, and his mustache
snow-white like his hair, he looks
like an old trooper who has seen much
service. He dresses neatly in black
clothes, and wears eyeglasses,
The profile Of Morrili. of Vermont,
would remind you of the late Charles
Summer. He sits between Don Came
ron and Anthony, of Rhode Island,
with his head dropping forward and
his fingers interlocked on his lap.
His b air is ircn-gray, and quite abun-
iant, and he wears slight side whiskers
of the same shade. He looks like a
well-fed bank president.
Van Wyck, of Nebraska, who has
/ just been presented by his estimable
wife with an eleven-pouEd baby for a
New Years gift, is an active-lOoking,
chirpy. iron-gray haired man, with a
penetrating voice that can easily be
heard all over the chamber.
There comes Gen. Logan, of Illinois
who takes seat right beneath Van
Wyck's hand as it is Outstre;ched in
debate. Logan, with his straight,
black hair. swarthy complexion and
his black mustache. with q few gray
hairs in it, keeps up his reputation Of
being one of the most distinguished
looking statesman in the senate. The
most noticeable article of dress is a
large watch chain displayed at his am
pie brelth of vest.
Allison, of Iowa, who is fanked on
either side by Ingalls, and Angus
Cameron, and who, by the way, is
more likely to be struck by presiden-
Tia lightning than most any man on
the republican side of The senate, is a
substantial looking citizen. He doesn't
look to be over forty-6re, His short.
rather sandy beard is slightly streaked
with gray, but his hair. of which he
has a good quantity, is shade darker.
He is an able debater, and when, his
antagonists think they have him in a
tight place he jumps in and turns the
tables.
Jones, of Nevada, the millionaire
senator, would be noticed most any
where from bis size. It's true. he
doesn't look very imposing just now.
sprawled out on his desk, with his
head resting en- bis hand, but when he
straightens up and you get look at
his long white whiskers and bald head
you will see very presentable person.
He speaks but seldom.
Malone, of Virginia, has just taken
q seat to the right of Jones, of Neva-
DE-. He comes in with cigar between
his fingers, and with white soft felt
hat doubled up and clutched in his
right hand. He is Dot bigger than a
pound of snap after hard days wash,
and is no way distinguished looking
With thin face, hollow cheeks, gray
mustsche and long grizzled whiskers.
with little tuft of dark hair in the
midst of big bald spot, which re-
minds you of Stump McKenna. He
is about the las man that you would
expect to do or say anything that
would render him famous outside of
his township. He combs his hair
straight behind his ears.
Sawyer. of Wisconsin. who sat for
the original of Florence's "Bardwell
Slote," is a very large man, and is
