lonely in the next House, but the new mem

metal. This was most peculiar landslide I
don't think the Mckinley bill is to blame.
II. believe the reason why so many Republic.

stop at Washington to help make up quorum

the Democrats. The latter practically deserted
the House and had a good time of it.
