Iact, IL IS question as TO whether The
proper oratoricdl sentence should not be
long one"
Senator Hoar has good, fat, old, con
servative back. 1t Is prosperous aud well
rounded and its owner seems to have tina
contented spirit which is better than riches
senator Cuilom has as many angles in his
back as Hoar has curves He thinks his
back looks like that of Abe Lincoln's, but
as he stands erect inside of his desk he
makes me think of the frame which the
Turner puts up in his corn field when the
crows are plenty and his coat seems to hang
from his shoulders. Another angular back
ID that of Senator Sanders. Sanders looks
as though his bones were hung on wires
and he throws his stomach to the front in
stead of his chest as he stands upright.
He has not the fat paunch of Senator
Sawyer, and his belly has ten wrinkles tC
that of Reagan's one. His shoulders stooI
slightly and he has
TIE FIGHTING RACK OF SENATOR VEST.
He is one of the bravest men in the Senate
and one of the most able. He IS a man OF
ideas, and when he has gotten out of the
babyhood of senatOrships be will make him
self felt. ingalls, has an angular back. He
IS tall and thin, and the newsboy who called
| him skeleton dressed up was not very far
wrong. The top of his frame IS the most
curious part of it and from the rear he ap-
pears to have very large head. Looking
at MIN from the press gallery his forehead
Is narrow and his head small. Here IT is as
Big as that of any of the United States
Senators, and the remark that / heard last
night III regard to IT, made by Congressman
Tarsney, Is unjust in the extreme. SAID
| Tarsney: Talk about Ingalls, head. He
has no mead at all. His neck has merely
! grown up and haired OUT Ingalls, head
In reality is not bad looking. At any rate
| 1t has more in it than you will find in nine
tenths of the heads of his brother Senators,
and the gray matter in his brain will out
weigh that Of any member of the House
with the exception, perhaps, of that of Tom
! Reeds.
Senator Plumb has just risen to speak.
| He has the aggressive business back. He
issfat and strong and clustering. Every
line of his rear is practical. His shoulders
are square, and so square that they hurt
! our eyes. His shoulder blades are turned
in towards his chest and he doubles up his
fists and pounds the air as he talks. He
whips himself this way and that and you see
that there is not weak joint in his verte-
brae, and you can almost see
TEE BACK BONE OF THE MAN
though it is padded with a thick covering
| of flesh. He is speaking on the silver bill.
and [ wonder whether the big silver mines
which he owns in Colorado influence his
speech. He is a general speculatOr, as well
as banker and a broker, and be has lots of
money out at interest. just back of him
stands young Senator Wolcott He has
pair Of shoulders so broad that had he been
Sinbad, the sold Man of the Sea- would
have never left him, and he is good deal
like Plumb only better made and better
rounded. He has short neck, a big well
combed head and he has shown himself to
be good speaker, Just beside him | note
lean little fellow of about one hundred
pounds weight | would take him for a
clerk if did not know that he was Senator
Chandler, and as | look at the big frame of
WOlcott one of the legs of which is as big
around almost as Chaudler's waist and the
head of which corresponds to Chandeliers as
foot ball does TO base ball, | see that
avoirdupois IS no index of brains and that
little man may do as much as big one.
Chandler's back does not measure more
than foot and half from shoulder to
shoulder. his neck is so thin that it could
be twisted off like that of chicken and it
bobs this way and that, and he twists his
shoulders in and out as he sits there ard
thinks. He is the most nervous bOdyin the
Senate but his dyspeptic organization is
packed full of vitality and he has enough
brains to make him secretary of the navy
and to keep him for years in the United
SENATOR VOORHEES, HAS FAT, DUTCH BACK
His frame is tall, heavy and apopleptic It
is an aggressive back and sort of bully
ing back and he has made lots of money at
the law by throwing those big shoulders
back and bulldozing the jury. He is one of
the finest lawyers in Indiana, and it is said
that he makes S25, 900 year at the practice.
He is famous as a criminal lawyer and he |
a Of % rraria
man in the Senate Eustis, who sits beside |
him, is also a lawyer and his back looks up
TO the gallery with all the lines of good liv- |
ing and good clothing. He has an income |
bigger than that of Voorhees,, and have no !
doubt but that he could buy Voorhees, a !
half dozen times over. His big frame has |
been fed with silver spoon from the time |
it first saw light as q bouncing big baby, |
until now when it holds its own as one of |
the six-foot millionaires of the United |
States Senate. Eusts comes from one of |
the oldest families of the country He |
graduated at Harvard and has been pro- |
fesssor for years in one of the universities |
of New Orleans. One of his brothers mar
ried Mr.. Corcoran's daughter, and the Sen
ator himself inherited a fortune. He is I
man of great ability and great culture but |
he is too rich and too lazy to cut a great |
figure in efUnited States Senate and he /
takes things easy and seldom makes a |
speech. SeBator Vance has the back of a |
fat, old grandmother, and his double |
breasted coat with long skirts makes Won
think he is an old woman in a black !
Mother Hin bbardp as you look at him from !
the gallery His back is full of good nature !
and ne is one of the ablest as well as one of |
The most genial men on the Democratic side |
of the chamber.
Blodgett, of New Jersey, is one of
THE RAZOR BACKED SENATORS.
He is tall and thin and he scares you when |
he begins to get up. He rises and rises un-
til you wonder where he will end, and the |
bald spot on his crown, when he stands |
erect, is somewhere near seven feet from
the floor. He has the Students stoop. but |
he got it bending over the machinery of a I
locomotive rather than over books. and mis- |
reputation has been made out of railroads |
rather than politics. He began life as
locomotive engineer and he worked his en-
glne so well that he wheeled himself into |
one Of the chief Offices of the road and he
has for years been the head of the Long
Branch division Of the Jersey Central rail- |
road. He lives at Long Branch, and is said |
to be IN close connection with the SewelI |
party of New Jersey politics
Another tai, lean Senator is Walthall. |
OF Mississippi. He is six feet high and
about eighteen inches broad. His should |
ers are narrow and his long hair flows
down IN curls upon them. Looking at him
from the gallery you would hardly know
whether his head was that of man or a
woman for the hair is combed la pompa-
dour and it flows in graceful curls down the |
nape of his neck. He is a heightened South
ern gentleman and he is said to be an emf
