WASHINGTON, January . Il have
made good deal o. inquiry among the
Senators who are opposed to open discus
sion OF questions which now are considered
in secret sessions oil the Senate, and | do
believe that it is all based upon the tact
that men prefer to talk Of private character
and partisan matters in secret rather than
openly" said a Senator to-day. Some
times 1 think, he continued, that this
relic Of barbIrism--secrc sessions Of the
S-uIte--will never he done away with, as
some Of The Senators are 30 bitterly opposed
u the proposition. \ good deal has been
said in interviews against the confirmation
of Mr.. Lamar There will be some very
personal debates upon his confirmation
aud some very harsh words will be spoken
against him. One would think, after
studying the character of those who will
speak for and against him, that they would
be willing 70 let the world know what
they say; hut it is species Of COwardice

men anywhere, and especially those who
hlve stood 50 high in the estimation Of the

dursemeut, hut l believe that the OhjeC.
uuns which have been made to nOmIua-

about the various clubs in the Ohio League
whose chances Of materializiug in time for
the opening Of the season were consld-
cred somewhat doubtful In the last
mouth there has been some tail hustling
done, and all teams are in the fighting
trim except GAINESVILLE. Our ancient rne-
mics the Kickapoos of the Muskingum,
are certainly moving very slowly Os very
quietly. However, they have signed
enough men 20 warrant the belief that they
are in earnest and mean to have their

remarks that be was the Cause Of a.! tue
b!d blood that existed between IluysylIIc

tlOn is not only unjust, but wholly uh-
true. The i'll feeling between the TWO
clubs originated in the outrageous treat
