tors and an equal number OF representatives
who at tho senate and house restaurants

liquors. Ills (Mr. tunston's) name was one
of those mentioned, and he believed that the
article was Intended to affect the primaries
In his district. Laughter, He denied that
no had over drank intoXicants within the
capitol, produced tho andavits of the propri-
etor OF the house restaurant to that effect
and denounced the correspondent OF the
Voice as Il liar.
Mr. Cummings of New York, whose name
was also published, said that tho time the
