representatives went into the parlor
of the Metropolitan hotel while hop
was going on, to look on few min
utes at the dancers. The enterprising
correspondent of Georgia paper saw
him, and forthwith telegraphed the
fact that Mr.. Blank was at the dance. A
few days later an eight page letter came
from an offended constituent, who in
formed the congressman that he was
paid big salary to come here and
work and not to 60 to dances. This is
