doing nothing. II the people do not like
what we do tn Y have the remedy in their
own hands and can turn US out. They did
not send rs here to be choked off by some
body else's ideas of expediency."
By the way, this same man Gibson Is
likely to be heard from before the end Of
the session. He has holy horror OF being
led by the nose. no matter how gentle d
persuasive may be the grip on his Probos-
els, and has a fashion of saying what he
thinks under all circumstances. He still
wears that old slouch hat that he had
when he was Speaker of the West Virginia
House Of Delegates, cooked over one eye.
and he stood up for Carlisle all through
the fight like one of the old guard, who
could die but would not surrender. Some
Of bis constituents, who were here favor
ing Randall, got both arms round his neck,
and sprained most OF the button holes in
his oyercoat, trying to get him to coma
over, but il was no use. He is as assertiye
as be is tenacious, is not much OF re-
specter of persons. would define his post
ton Just as quick In the House OF Repre-.
sentstiyes as in the office of Justice Of
the Peace, and can be relied on to say what
he has got to say, at all times and under
all circumstances.
Phil. Snyder,
nom the Charleston district, was recognized
as one of the most effective Randall workers
among the new members. He held that
the sentiment of the Kanawhs country
preponderated in favor OF RsndalPs cleo
ton anu he did his best to convince his
colleagues that the same weight OF sentl-
ment extended into their districts. Con-
gresham Wilson, of the Second, seemed to
have some embaIrasments in making up his
mind definitely, but was understood to
favor Carlisle from the first. Coil was un.
embarrassed and thought Carlisle would
get il.
As for the Republican nominations in
caucus, William Walter Phelps manifesto
against Keifer, apparently expended its
force in the writing. Gen. Coil told me
this evening he had never heard OF any
organized effort at any time to prevent the
ex-Speaker from having the compliment oil
a denomination, and the Republican dele
gate from Idaho said they thought out
there that Phelps was dude.
Senator kenna.
who is quartered at the National, said this
evening thst he considered the results o!
the speskership contest Of no particular
consequence TO the business interests OF
the country. Should the house be so or.
gsnized as to permit a reopeniug Of tariff
question, an event which he considered
not at sll probable, and revision bill be
passed by the lower branch of Congress, il
would 60 no farther than the Senate. The
political effect of the speakership result
was something that could be measured up
up hereafter. The point to be understood
was that there was no occasion for any busi
ness scare at present.
Steskipg OF the snate, there is consider
able quacKiDg among present empioye:
over the threatened reorganization OF thai
body. There are quite number OF Wes'
Nuginians Oh the lolls in that end OF the
Capitol who are subject to the process o
decspitstion. My friend, Col. Preston
Pew, of the County of Gilmer, VINO has hac
charge of the ladies' gallery for severd
years, and whose bust had the honor las
winter TO recommend to the legislature as
III contribution from West Virginia to tht
National collectors of ststuary in the Ole
caI ito lrotunds, is among the number, q!
is also my friend Col. Burke Of the County
Of Cabell. May a gracious Providence in
tervene to save the uecks Of those tried and
rusty servants OF the nation.
