Judge Houck believes that should
southern man be taken for attorney
general, John b. Henderson Of Miss
souri, will have the first call, and after
him w. o. Brady, of Kentucky, and
w. NJ. Baxter, of Knoxville, Tenn,
would be the pair to draw from.
When asked how the Hon. l.. f.
McConors, of Maryland, who took part
in the conference, felt towards Gen.
Malone, he said he did not express
himself at the meeting, but he was
satisfied he was not beligerently OPP
posed to him. Mr.. Houck thinks the
little General has an excellent chance
for the postmaster generals place.
When asked what course he
thought Mr.. Harrison would follow in
making southern appointments, he
replied he was satisfied none, but
perpendicular" republicans would
get places. The southern bulldozer
will remain one in heart but not in
practice, as speedy punishment would
follow it. He says the desire of con-
sentative democrats in the south is
to have less Hill and more
hog. No absolute break up
may be speedily looked for,
as the last hope is gone. Many sup
ported the democratic ticket, who dis
liked the methods used to carry it, be-
cause the party was in power, but
they would now desert it.
Under Cleveland, bulldozing could
be practiced with impunity, which
would now go into 'innocuous disue-
tude" with the president that con-
nive d at it.
Judge Houck leaves today for Knox
Vile to spend the lecess.
The Washington Press this morn
lug, geographically reviews the ''Big
FOurs" of the country, says: "Now
every precious Big Four" bids fair to
be eclipsed by the latest combination
of talent in the unique "Big Four" of
Texas, beginning with the unan-
imous and universal Kilgore, taking
in Tariff Smasher Mills and Blow
out-the-gas Martin, and concluding
with his ponderosity, Reagan. No
body can explain why this quartette
is big, except it be in the sense that
balloons occupy a mighty space for
their weight. The Texans are the
aerial "Big four of the Cleveland
period"
Blow-out-the-gas Martin will bust
a sand bag over that paragraphist's
head year hence, for it Will take
him that space of time to realize he
was poking fun at him.
The supreme bench of the U. 5. lost
its dignity at recent sitting, and
John S. Wise was the Will o. the
Wisp that led them into the bog, for
they not only smiled broadly at his
wit, but proved by hearty laughter,
A little nonsense, now and then
Is relished by the best of men,
The Virginian was attorney for the
defendant in a suit for infringing on
the rights of a patentee of reinforced
drawers. The plaintiffs counsel held
up pair of them before the court, as
surfing it that one such pair was equal
to two ordinary pairs, and that the
user of them would find splits out of
the question, and asked that the
dealer in the infringing articles
be restrained from selling them.
Mr.. Wise, in controverting this
said it was reversing all
ordinary rules, for in faro" the
"splits' are in favor of the "dealer,n
but here they were against him; and
as strenuously contended that one
pair is never as good as two pair, and
offered to prove it at a game of draw"
with the opposing counsel.
The result was laughter, unre-
strained; the court reserved it's decis-
ion but lost it's reserve.
