at this time in a confessedly chaotic condition,

averted, and s. P. White, of New Brighton, is

White was backed for the position by Senator

of Whites withdrawal four years ago in favor
of McLane, of Washington county. No oppo-
sitlon is expected from that q arler this time,

tied gloom with which the Philadelphia
Inquirer remarks: "The President must know
that every veto of public building bill will
lose him votes in that district in case he should
be candidate FOR q second term" The
esteemed Inquirer may be comforted by either
one of two suggestions. Perhaps the President
does not Intend to run for second term; or
perhaps if he does he is intelligent enough to
imagine that he will make more votes by STOP
ping extravaganza than by countenancing it.
