sentatiyes at Yesterdays Session.
WASHINGTON, March 19.--In the Senate
yesterday Mr.. Hawley introduced bill
appropriating 1000 for a pedestal and
statue to Gen. w. II. Sherman In the city
OF Washington. Referred.
After disposing of large number OF
bills on the calendar, the Senate on mo-
tion of Mr.. Sherman, proceeded to execu-
tive business.
In the House, Mr.. Williams OF Massa-
chusetts, speaking To question of priv
ilege, moved to strike from the Record
that portion of the speech of Mr.. Walker
OF Massachusetts,, delivered on Tuesday
last, which had not been delivered by
him. There seemed TO be, said Mr.. Will
lians, a constant complaint on the part
OF the Democratic representatives of Mas
sachusetts against their Republican col
leagues.
He would not complain in this matter
were not the published utterances OF a
personal and insulting nature, such, as he
thought, seldom appeared in the records
OF Congress-.
Mr.. Williams made lengthy speech in
favor of his motion. lie resented the as
pensions placed upon "Mugwumps" by
Mr.. Walker. He was once "Mugwump''
not act in manly fashion, but had, by
abusing privilege, had his undelivered
speech printed.
Mr.. Walker said ii was evident to the
House for what purpose the gentleman
from Massachusetts, (Mr. Williams) had
he had arisen in legislative bodies at
home) for the purpose of exhibiting him
self.
The headlines to his speech Ito which
the gentleman had alluded) had not been
written in his manuscript, and he was
surprised when he saw them in the Rec
ord. He had not written them.
Mr.. Grain OF Texas-Who writes your
speeches? (Laughter).
Mr.. Richardson OF Tennessee inquired
whether the gentleman meant to say
that, after his speech passed from his
words, or that they were inserted at the
government printing office.
Mr.. Walker-If the gentleman gives up
bossing the House and everybody else, /
will attend to my business. (Laughter.)
Continuing, Mr.. Walker said that he
had had several copies OF his speech, and
his clerk had put the headlines TO one of
them. BY an accident, which was liable
TO happen to any one, that copy had been
sent TO the printing Office. In response
to the gentleman from Texas, he would
say that the gentleman who wrote his
speecheS was Mr.. walker OF w Worcester.
(Laughter.) He asked that the head
lines be stricken from the Record.
The discussion closed by the introduc-
tion of a resolution offered by Mr.. Nc
Millin OF Tennessee, providing that Mr..
Walkers printed land not deiivered)
speech be referred to the committee on
printing, with instructions TO report
whether or not the privileges OF the
House have been violated in the publica-
tionof the same; whether or not any
portion thereof should be expunged from
the Record, and whether any other ac-
tion should be taken by the House in the
promises.

BRISTOL.

AS time advances the outlook for the Re-
publican ticket grows decidedly stronger.
Men who never have been affiliated with
the party are working quietly TO strength
en- it. From what can be seen by careful
observer the Democratic party are not in
It. at the present time. 1t looks very
doubtful If they will be able TO place two
representative men in the field. The old
time feeling seems to have disappeared
with them. There seems to be lack of
genuine thoroughness and confidence
which appears to be on the increase.
The Republicans have placed in nomi-
nation two representative men who are
without reproach ana by so doing have
darkened the horizon for the opposition.
Ii is fair to presume that the ticket headed
by such a gentleman as the Hon. Joshua
Wilbur carries great strength with it.
Every time that he has been placed in
nomination he has increased his ma jorities
and undoubtedly this time will add great
strength to the gubernatorial candidate.
it being strength where the little State
will figure very conspicuously.
There is one thing that the party must
assuredly keep in view, ana that is not be
over confident and underate the opposi-
tion, but go into the fight with the same
determination as If You were largely in
the minority and then you will swell your
majorties and assist other towns which
are not as fortunate as your own.
