influential citizens Of the district. ''Why
not stand aside," he said, Send let the peo-
pie for once receive a proper representa-

had committed himself to Mr.. Tuthill four
years ago. Senator Cullom made
similar answer except that his committal
dated back only to last summer. Mr.
Davis then saw the president. The latter

Office was a senatorial appointment, he
said, and what else could he do than COM
ply with the wishes of the two senators,
more especially since these gentleman, in
9 recent visit TO the white house, had de-
clared that farther delay was useless and
demanded that some action should be
speedily taken? The president, therefore,
decided in favor of Mr.. TuthiII, and so in
formed Mr.. Davis last evening.
