confine their business strictly to ready

Messrs. Barnes, Stainback & Co.,

THURMAN'S HONESTY.
How the Old Roman Defeated Jay Coz
and the hold Lobby.

How the Old Roman Defeated Jay Gould
and tho hold Lobby.
One of the chief acts Of Judge Thur.
mans Senatorial career was the secur-
ing Of the passage Of the Pacific Rail-
road Sinking Fund act. It will be re-
membered that the efforts of Gould and
Huntington were concentrated upon
the Senate. Stanley Matthews had
charge of the bill. Gould and Hunt
ington were in Washington in person.
Gould had chosen to dismiss for a time
his parliamentary agents." and had
himself undertaken the task Of calling
personally on Senators and endeavor-
ing to convince them by the ingenious
and plausible arguments OF which he
is master to support the amendments
which would practically nullify the
Thurman bill.
The agents Of Gould and Hunting
ton sat in the marble room Of the
Senate, to which, under the rules Of
that body, they could have access only
by the introduction OF some Senator's.
They were confident of forty votes
to defeat the bill. Senator Thurman
expected to pass the bill by midnight.
There were indications of an at
tempt at filibustering by its OPP
ponents and many amendments
had been offered. Mr.. Thurman
was seen to have upon his desk q
roll-call of the Senate. He rose and
said that he understood that the OPP
ponents of his bill were confident Of
victory; that he had, in fact, then upon
his desk roll-call of the Senate with
the names checked upon it OF the Sem
ators who. he was we'll advised, were
relied upon by the agents OF Gould
and Huntington to vote nay. There
was intense interest in the chamber.
Mr.. Thurman did not read that roll.
call or tell where he got it. He simply
said that as the voting on the amend.
ments proceeded he should watch !,
with great interest to see how we'll il
Tailed with the list with which he had
been furnished.
There certainly was CONSERVATION In
the ranks OF the lobby. The voting
began. The forty promised votes upon
that tally sheet dwindled to eighteen.
The bill was passed. Thurman put
his mysterious roll-call into his pocket.
Gould took the train for New York
and, 1t is said, has never been in Wash
ington since. The Thurman bill went
to the House, defied tho combinations
Of the railroad lobby, and was passed
by u two.thirds vote. -Syraeuss (MX>
