How Hena,nra Dress.

Cleveland Leader special: The ia
vorite dress of the Senator of to-day is
black broadcloth, double-breasted
frock coat, high standing collar open
at the neck, and boots. Still, business
s its are 1 st creeping in, and fully
one-third of the Senators wear cut
away coats Warner Miller has on
clothes which would not be out of
place were he at the head of groc ry
store. They are business clothes of
rough brown goods, and Mr.. Mil er's
collar is tied with a soit-blue p lka-
dot necktie. Senators Morgan and
Butler are both well-dressed Southern
men still, their coats are black diagonal
cut-aways, buttoned high at the front
by single button, and neither of them
showing an atom of shirt. Stanford,
the millionaire from California, is
dressed in a business suit which could
be duplicated for $40, and his eyes
are covered by glasses with rubber
rims. John A. Logan wears a turn
over collar and black clothes. His
raven hair kisses the collar Of a black
broadcloth, double-breasted frock-
coat, the skirts of which are very full,
and the buttons seldom fastened. Lo-
gan is shorter than most people think.
He is growing portly, and he dresses
so that he looks shorter and fatter
than he is.
Senator Allison Of Iowa wears a
shirt that opens at the front, black
clothes, and his white necktie is as
high as was that OF Henry Clay.
Senator Joe Brown is cold-blooded
human, and he fgh the weather in
clothes made OF beaver. Though he
has good tailor, bis form as is SO an
gular that it is almost impossible to cot
this thick cloth TO fit him, and it hangs
in wrinkles. Browns wears very long
hair, which curls as though he had
twisted it rounda late pencil where
it falls upon his shirt collar. His long
gray beard hides his shirt, but look
at his wristbands shows his red flannel
Undertaking peeping out. Waltha J.,
Lamar's ccessor, dresses like a bus
mess man. He is tall and thin, and his
blue and white neckt:eis not tied, but
is fastened by gold rim through
which it is drawn. Like the most OF
the Southern men, he wears boots,
and, as a rule, you will find these only
used at present by statesmen from the
South and West.
The dandy Of the Senate is Matt
Ransom. He isalways dressed in black
diagonal, and wears his coat closely
buttoned, as he moves about the cham
Der with stately strides, pulling down
his white cuffs so that at least three
inches of them may be seen below his
coat sleeves. He seldom appears out
Of the Senate without gloves His IA
vorite hat is a SLOUGH, and he wears il
as though it was a badge of military
greatness
Senator ingalls, is one OF the best
dressed men in the Senate. He we rs
good clothes, and has a Broadway
tailor. His cuffs are of the whitest,
and his hair is never awry. Hoar, who
sits next to him, dresses in business
clothes, a cutaway coat, and he keeps
his watch in the side pOeset OF his
vest, fastened by chain which com
mences at its top button and falls
down in a graceful curl upon his ca
paCiOus abdomen. Senator HOar al
ways has his keys in his hands,swings
them about, or fingers them as he
tai or thinks. sd
John Sherman wears a blue-black
broadcloth, with a rather high stand
ing collar open at the front This
collar is bound with a wide black
necktie. and the vest is cut rather low
so as to show the whitest and fines
