strides in the assertion Of its prvile res. \
resolution was adopted today which gives
each Senator clerk TO be paid out OF the

member of the British House of Lords
enjoys. Ii IL true that the Senators cannot
make the addition of So daily IN their own
salaries, but they will each have private
secretary. There is little doubt that The
House will vote the necessary additional ap-
preparation each year TO the Scaaic's con-
tingent fund. The House i'll every case OF
contest for years has succnmted. although
there has frequently been danger that an ap.
preparation bill would fail because the Senate
would not yield. The total additional cost

Eccentric Men.

KELEER,s CAMPAGN.

The Springfield Ohio, Globe Republic, Re-
publican journal published in Gen. Keifer's
district, bitterly opposes the reelection Of
that gentleman to congress. 1t makes op-
position for cause, even insin uating that the
ex-speaker is unworthy and corrupt, as if
any member of the grand old party, could
possibly be guilty of corruption or Of even
innocent selfshnessl
The Globe Republic charges that Keifer
hired the services OF paper to boom him for
nine DAYS, at cost of $3.50, and sneeringly
remarks: ''It is mournful, inexpressibly
mournful that Gen. Keifer in seeking the
endorsement of some Republican politician
could co no better than to drag poor old
Columbus Delano out of his retirement.
Columbus Delano fell with bad repute years
ago, and would never have been thought of
again if Kefer had not resurected him.
This shows how hard pushed Kelfer is.
He can get no living, active, prominent Re-
The g. Il. accuses Keifer of having speakers
to boom him. and to denounce his oppo-
nents, and spitefully adds:
''But when, pouring money out OF his Of
flee night and day, in his desperate effort for
re-electon-when, purchasing this man
here, and that man there-he dares to use
his hired job-room organ for the vilest Of
blackguard iusinuations and statements
then we call Il halt. We herewith serve up
on General Keifer notice, sharp and short,
that If this work is to UO on then the bar
riers 90 down, and the record Of the inner
workings of his present campaign, of his
previous campaign, and of his career in Con-
gress will be for the first time truthfully pre-
sented to his constituency"
It positively painful to see this lack Of
harmony in any section of the grand old par
", and it is greatly to be feared If these in
testine wars 90 on, their prospects will be
weakened in Ohio for October, and will con-
tinue to grow worse till November. Keif-
er finds his political Jordan a hard road to tray-
cl. But admitting all the sins charged against
him by the Globe RepNblic. his lack If integri-
", his unscrupulous seiishness, his gener-
al political depravity and rascality, is he any
worse than the average officials of his party!
Nay more, is he any worse, more unscrupu-
lous, moro destitute of patriotic impulses,
more capable of political turpitude and cor
ruption than the Republican candidate for
the Presidency!
When these members of the grand old
party quarrel, the truth comes out of their
mutual ill-deserts.
