on senator Quay IA The House
Ca Wednesday afternooD, MAS
formerly Lleutenant-Goyernor Of ONO,
aud While holding that once the Legs +
lature elected Payne as United states /
Senator. IL my memory serves me 1
rght the Ohio senate Vas a tie, while /
the Democrats had very small major |
ity IN the House, and OF course on
Joint ballot had force enough 10 elect |
their man. To prevent the taking OF a
vote the Republican Senators absented |
themselves and broke quorum, and /
there vas high old time Ia the senate
for while. Kennedy is a man OF
great courage. and ne made some rul-
Ing which Ike Reeds OF the present
day. were held To be revolutionary.
The matter was tinally ended by the
election OF Payne, but while the con-
test lasted it attracted great attention
aud brought Kennedy very prominently
before the public. Kennedy served
with great gallantry during the war,
and rose from the ranks 10 the grade OF
a brevet brigadier- general. 1t Is said
that be has set hls heart on the passage
Of the Federal election bill, and he was
very much annoyed when ne learned
OF the compact which had been entered
into between senator Quay and the
Democratic Senators, whereby the elec
tons bill was postponed until next
SESSION. so as 20 secure the prompt pas
sage OF the tariff bill. Kennedy yio-
lated the prOprieues of debate IN ms
speech, which WAS one OF the most
savage things which has ever been
heard IN Congress.

Mr.. Burrows has again been honored
this week by Al election as speaker
pro tenn during the absence OF Mr..
Reed, who had % go 10 Maine to look
after his election. 1t Is 8 great compll-
Inent 10 be honOTCd Tvs c. this way IN
one SESSION, and the honor is doubly
gratifying because the Democrats re-
ceive ms election with as much salts
faction as do ms own party associates.
This comes from the fact that while
Mr. Burrows is known 10 be very
strong party man on the floor, IN the
chair he Is absolutely impartial, and he
deals equal Justice without regard to
politics Then again both parties are
perfectly satisfied to see him IN the chair
"a he makes a magnificent presiding
officer: he knows the rules ali the way
through and there - no danger OF the
House getting into a snarl or becoming
involved over the right way of dong
certain thing. Burrows has added
very much TO his reputation IN tins
Congress, and Il IS to be hoped for the
good OF the State that he will be re-
elected To the next Congress, rs no
matter whether the House IS Demo
cratic or Republican he will in any
event be one or the leaders of the
House, and as such will be able to do
ten times more Tor MS district and the
State At large than half dozen new
men.
Senator Jones. OF Nevada. rejoices in
an unique present. The senator IS
very rich man, but like good many
other men who nave plenty Of money,
he II sometimes careless of small
change, and It happens at times that be
will 20 out without . cent IN his pocket.

situations Not .Oug ago ne was on a
cable car enjoying a rice, and he Is very
fond OF this form OF lOcoIn0tOn. The
conductor came around for the all nee
essarv nickel. The Senator IN leisure
lv Kind of way put ms hand IN hls
uocket TO ind his purse. but, alas, il
was not there. Then Mr.. Jones went
into the other pocket and was equally
as successful. The SITUATION began to
set interesting. and the conductor
looked annoyed. Pocket after pocket
was searched, and the senator found to
his disgust that, although be could give
check tor al amount which would
make the conductor open hrs eyes IA
blank astouisbmCnt, he did not have a
single solitary cent about hrs person.
But ne took it all as 2 good Joke, and
m a laughing way explained 20 the

way as that. For all he knew. tbe man

HIM no nick no 7.de. and he reached
