Gov. HOadly's Politics.

WHIT
Representative HILL OF Ohio. says that his inter-
view about Gov. Hoadly yesterday was given has
tily and that 1t did not properly represent him. 1t
on the floor OF the House. and the conversation
was interrupted by a demand for outsiders to va
cate. He says he used the term crank in a jocuiar
sense, as 1t IS frequently employed to define man
ideas: that Gov Hoadly firmly dhercs to his poliri
cal notions even when they run counter to party
principles, and in the hurried manner Of the talk
he said crank without meaning it in any disre-
spectrul SENSE He says further that Gov. Hoadly
canddly avowed his principles when nominated,
and he and they were endorsed by the democrats
been deceived or m1sed. Mr.. Hill declares he is In
thorough accord with Gov. Hoadly and holds him
in the highest esteem.

contingencies or allowance Of this kind
or ofany extraordinary kind, costs with
In few hundred dollars Of as much as
the entire German army. While we
boast Of the lack of necessity for stand

military establishment, it is well for us
to know that what we lack in numbers
we make up in pay. In other words,
25,OOO men, differed rs they are, in the
American army, cost within about half
a million dollars Of as much as 400. 900

The sending for absent members of
Congress during night session, to form

to the members as it is useless to the
country. The absentees are always ex-

the occasion Of much fun, humor and
laughter generally, but recently 1t was
productive Of angry contention.
