HOW SENATOR'S DRESS.
Garb of the chief Members OF the
Upper House of Congress.


Senator Edmunds dresses In eNac,
counterpart OF his character-seyere ana
uncompromising While his garments
are OF excellent material, they are IN
variably put together upon the same
style and cut--his "sprucing-up, being
wholly confined to the rare. period when
he dons new suit. His clothes seem 10
reflect his demand for reasons, ana
"papers," as well as to signify his APP
probation of thorough senatorial dignity.
Senator Aldrich, Rhode Island, IS
something more than good looking, in
deed, he is what would be called hand
some man. His dress COMFORTS with his
address, which is ever courteous and con-
siderate. Senator Allison, OF Iowa,
dresses with great care and circumspec,.
ton, presenting the appearance oil
eminent responsibility and intelligence
His clothes fit him to perfection, and he
gravitates to broad eXpanse oil I'M
maculate linen. There is nothing dandi-
fed about Mr.. Allison, but his neatly
trimmed hair and beard, rosy complexion
and faultless attire, are in full sympathy
with his personal and official demeanor
-unexceptionable in all respects,
Senator Beck, OF kentucky,is hablted
in good clothes, not OF fashionable cut,
hut made for strong and industrious SER
vice. This is reflex oil his character.
Senator Joe Brown, OF Georgia, dresses
in the old-time fashion, loose and easy,
and though very wealthy, does not ex-
pend his substance in vanitles. This
evidences his economic turn OF mind and

OF fashion. His tallor,s bills give him no
concern, for he IS wiling ana able TO
meet them. He is an exceedingly Iowa
BILE man, and his dress is fair index to
his nature. Senator Cockrelps garments
are plain, although OF good material.
He always wears SLOUGH hat, and thinks
more OF his official labors and home fire.
side than OF appearances. Black broad
cloth is his invarable rule, and one
may read the Woodworking senator in
his dress.
Senator Conger, OF Michigan, stands

dangling below his vest. lie cares but
little Tor personal adornment, and is plain
in all essentials. There is business air
about his garments which signify that he
is ready for emergencies and willing to
enter the lists OF debate upon slight pro.
vocation. Senators Dawes and Hoar, OF
Massachusetts, dress quite plainly, but
their clothes are substantial in material,
as the Beacon Hill aristocracy would
naturally expect Of their senatorial re.
representatives.. Senators Randall, Glib
son, OF Louisiana, and Butler, of South
Carolina, are cut off the same cloth in
the way of expensive material. They are
like their garments-bo neat and well
poised men in all essentials.
Senator Hale dresses nattily and in fair
fashion. He is natty OF habit and speech,
and his pose and diction compare with his
outward habiliments. His colleague, Mr..
Frye,ls Just shade less in empressement,
and his clothes and action, collectively
considered, are in perfect accord. John
Sherman's attire and the hang and cut of
coat, vest and pants have John Sherman
written all over them-fair by neat and
reasonably good, but demonstrating that
THRIFT, IN all essentials, has been consid-
cred. His clothes jibe perfectly with the
GOODNESS OF his nature and practices, per-
sonal and official. Senator Voorhees,
hablllments are OF the composite order,
sometimes fashionably and at others
plainly constructed. When prepossessed
in mind he wears his clothes carelessly
and with indifference; when free from
care and anxiety he is invariably care
fully alfred. This is his nature. He
surrenders all else when duty impels, hut
When comparatively at leisure he recog-
ilees ms obiigatlons to dress and address.
senator SALISBURY, OF Delaware, is a

innovations upon the ancient landmarks
