Sherman kept his eye on the man. expect-
ing an attack, and l think one hand was
on ms pistol IN his pocket. Wright, how
eVer-thls, l think, was the name of the
nlah-talled to attack him and no challenge
was sent.
Senator ingalls, was severely denounced
oY Senator Joe blackburn about two wears
ago, and Ingalls, and Blackburn might be
called the two fighters Of the Senate.
Neither seems u be happy unless he is in a
quarrel, and both deal in oratoricaI pyro-
technics, eelighting in the invective They
60 about the Senate with chips on their
shoulders defying any one to knock them
on, and ready to fight at a moments notice.
AT the last quarrel between the two each
washed for the other such dirty linen as he
could lind connected with his war record,
and the soap of the cleansing got into the
eyes OF both to such an extent that they do
not smile as they pass by, and their souls
are filled with hatred.
1t Is much the same with ingalls, and
voorhees,, and if the senator from Kansas
dlSpenses as much Vltriol during the present
session IN proportion to the political excite
ment as he has done during those of the
past, he will hardly have a speaking ac-
qualntanee with more tnan half a dozen
democratic senator's In his trouble with
voorhees, the latter called HIM a liar, and
the senator from Kansas retorted that 'if
the Senate of the United States was a police
court the senator from Indiana would be
sentenced to the rock pile and hard labor
he paid his compliments to Senator Voor-
heeS' war record, and described the exciting
trouble which took place in the north as
well as the south in terms by no means
complimentary
There are number of other senators who
are not on the most friendly terms with
each other. Morgan of Alabama and
Mitchell, of Oregon will never sleep in the
| same bed, and it is hardly possible that
| their relations will ever become friendly.
The trouble occurred not very long ago
when Senator Morgan charged Senator
Mitchell with being representative of
railroad corporations, aud when Senator
Mitchell retorted by saying that whatever
he might do, and that he would not discuss.
he had never disgraced himself by reeling
into the Senate chamber in a state Of intoxi-
| cation,
Senator Harris and Senator Hiscock have
| not been on good terms since their fuss at
the latter part of the last session regarding
the bureau Of engraving and printing, and
there are number of other senator's who
seem to have secret antagonism toward
one another. This does not come out in
| their speeches, and it does not affect to any
great degree their intercourse. 1t is often
so with senators from the same state. You
seldom see Sherman and Payne together,
and the representatives of the great state
of Ohio have nothing in common. Senator
| Chandler and Senator Blair are not hand
and glove, as two great statesmen, who
| have Interests in common, should be, and
| Chandler evidently thinks Blair crank.
and Blair apparently knows it. Ingalls,
and Plumb are friendly enough, bat they
do not hob-nob together, and Edmunds and
Morrill,, though good friends, are by no
means boon companions. It is the same
| with many Of the other senators represent
| ing the same state.
| There are a plumber of men among the
new additions to the chamber who will not
be afraid to resist if they are attacked this
session. Senator Turpie of Indiana has not
had chance to show his power of in.
vective as yet. He is considered one of the
strongest speakers in this line in the whole
state of Indiana, and the republicans will
probably hear something drop before the
winter is over. He is little and insignia.
cant looking, but ne has gall bag at the
root of his tongue as big as that of Ingalls,
and his command of language is almost as
great.
Moody of Dakota will certainly resist if
| attacked, and there are many stories of his
bravery in the Indiana legislature which
have not got into print. I don't believe he
would fight duel now, but he has accepted
challenge in his day, and he comes from
the fighting frontier. Another possible
fighter is the Republican Senator-elect San
ders of Montana. If he should get his seat,
he will display to the Senate tongue much
the same as that of Ingalls,, and he hai
] shown himself to possess a courage equal to
| that OF any man in public life. He was
one of the chief organizers of the Montana
vigilantes, who cleaned the road agents from
the territory, and who hanged over twenty
| men.
Don Cameron is good friend and bad
enemy. The especial object of his aversion,
in the person of Van Wyck of Nebraska, has
left tn chamber. Cameron carried in his
| soul the friendships and enmities of his
father, and he hated Van Wyck because he
had made bitter personal attack upon
Simon Cameron when he was in the House
of Representatives. He almost assaulted
Van Wyck at the time that he made charges
against Attorney General Brewster, some
years ago, and the scene of that day is not
yet forgotten in the Senate chamber.
Cameron was very i'll. He got up in
front of Van Wyck and interrupted him in
| his speech. He shook his fist at him and
told him not to talk any more in that direc-
| ton. There was an uproar in the chamber.
| The vice president tried to restore order,
and Cameron was finally taken by his
| friends into one of the cloak-rooms and
persuaded to lie down on a sofa. He was a
very sick man, and had he been in his
present health the affair might have ended
| the worse for Van Wyck.
