Senator Reagan gave an exhibition Of him
self and of his influence yesterday by violently
opposing the bill to give pension to the
widow Of General Logan. Shortly after his
speech a vote was taken. and the Senator from

Republican voters in this city who have not
been enrolled since January /, 1855, should
not neglect the opportunity afforded to-day for
putting their names on the books. The hours
arc from a. m to 10 p. m, and the list OF
enrolling places will be found in our adycrtiS-

he lives is entitled to enroll himself provided
he voted at the last Presidential election Tor

Republican ticket at a State election. Other

party at the next election will suffice. The
duty Of enrolling is an important one espec-

votes to elect their candidate. What has
wrought this change? Can the Presidents
free-trade message be held responsible? Mr..
Hill is an exceedingly long-headcd politician.

The meeting of the Democratic National Con-
vcntiOn.
Chairman Mills and his Southern associates
on the Ways and Means Committee let it be
known at this stage of their secret tariff tinker
Inc that they have nearly complete their
work, but that the finishing touches remain to
be added. This means that the bill they have
prepared is to be "peddled" about among the
Democratic members and altered and amended
In any and every way that will insure vote.
The bill will thus represent concession and
