house has known lately. They don't de-
pend dpon Keller, b ough he Is by no means
to he laughed At. Reed, OF Maine, Calkins,
OF Indiana, Hisc)ck. OF New York, Hoar. Of
Michigan, Judge Kelley, Judge Polsnd,
even the errs'lc Bedford, are all shrewd,
strong aggressive fellows. and hold their
own In tip,op style against the big demo.
cratic majority. They have made but one
mistake this session and that was their tili.
clustering against the Mexican pension bill,
and they dropped into that by accident.

majority, IN ID word. can not hope for any
degree OF SIN Doth sailing by reason Of the
weakness or inattentiveDess OF the minor
