each claiming to be Senator from Florida
 Both credentials were then placed on file. '
 The credentials of Mir. Brice as Sena- tor-elect from Ohio having been pre- sented and read, MT. Sherman said:
 Before the oath of office is adminis- tered to MT. Brice, desire to say that large portion of the citizens of Ohio contend that he was not an inhabitant of that State at the time of his election, and was, therefore, not eligible to . seat in this body.
 ''On examining the precedents (of which there are several in the his tory of the government and some of them most important), I am entirely satisfied that Mir. Brice is entit led to be sworn in on the prima facie case of his credentials, which are regular in form. simply give this notice, how ever, so that his being sworn may not be considered any wavieR or any misappre- hension or mtscon3truction if the pc op1e of Ohio should assert and prove to the satisfaction of the Senate that Mir. Brice was not at the time of his cleo tion an inhabitant of Ohio. I think that this statement from me is proper and necessary. But I make no objection to the swearing in of Mr. Brice. ''
 The swearing in of the newly cleo ted Cor appointed was. then pr ocseded with.
 As soon as all the new Senator's were sworn in. MT. Sherman offered the usual resolution for the appointment of two Sen nators to join a like committee on the part of the House to wait on the President of the United States and in form him that 8 quorum of each House was asse m bled, and that Congress was ready to receive any commun ication he might be pleased to make.
 The resolution was agreed to, and Messrs. Sherman and Harris were ap. pointed.

There is right track in quality, and when you use our RELIABLE goods you are on it. Don't let anybody switch you off onto inferior qualities by holding out inducements in price, good article is cheap at fair price, where poor article is dear at any price. We stick to rightly made clothing, are always as low as market price, sometimes lower. This week we are selling several lines of mems suits. Overcoats and ulsters at much less than market price. The line of brown suits at $15, have never been sold less than SIS or $20, and this is just the weather for a heavy suit; too cold for thin goods, too warm for an overcoat. Should it come off cold we have some big drives in overcoats and ulsters.
