argument has been called the
strongest that has ever been heard
in the House on an election case.
His perfect familiarity with every
fact, and precedent bearing on The
case aud his deep conviction Of the
justice Of Mr.. Wallace's claim,
completely solidifed the doubling
Democrats in support Of the com

sentiment of the Republican in

present the Mckinley side Of the

allegiance to the Mex lean Pension
bill. There has been much debate
on the latter, in the course Of which
a number Of Senators paid glowing
tributes TO the heroes of the Mexi-
