An effort in the Pennsylvania Legislature to
pass the Congressional Apportionment bill over
the Governors veto has failed, though several
Democrats voted in favor of such action. The
= regular session ends to-day, and there Is some
talk of the Governors calling an extra session.
Ir experience is worth anything to him he viii
certainly not again commit such blunder.
The New Hampshire Republicans have shown
their confidence in Mr.. Blair by repominatDg
him to the United States Senate. His election
will follow as a matter of course The attempt
to blacken Mr.. Blair's personal character has
In this way been promptly rcbuked. He has
never been charged with dishonesty in the
Senate, and it was certainly ill-advised to
trump up such charges now.
Now that the Dolphin has made a successful
sea voyage, and more than met the severe tests
imposed upon her by the Secretary ofthe Navy,
we shall probably hear less and less about the

meeting yesterday they exhibited impatience
with the apparent lack of sympathy with their
purpose shown by the Government. However,
the opinion prevailed that the tolls would be

and of good facilities for handling grain and
merchandise, than question of canal tolls.
