twas simple little story and tho appliea-

great laughter and applause. The orator
looked at tho clock and was about to close
when there were universal cries OF " 90 on

What Mr.. Bryan wanted to know was II the

! Walker thrift with the price Of wool under the
| Mckinley tariff He said that shcep would
yield a greater profit in Ohio to-day than they
did mt any time during the fifteen years OF tho
Walker tariff. Mr.. Mckinney replied that he
supposed that meant that the sheep grew
larger and the wool thicker and stronger under
protective tariff. To show what would bo the
future condition OF the farmer In Ohio no told
this story:

At this tho whole House was convulsed. Joe
Mcdonald Of Now Jersey nearly fell from his
chair after the ebullition had ceased. Some
member from wayback had gravey asked him
what kind OF sheep hydraulic ram was. He
said he had been raising sheep all his life and
had never heard OF such e ram.
On April . another Congressman In the tariff
debate told an anecdote illustrative OF tho
contempt which the Republican momters
expressed for the tidal wave Of 1890 Hereitis:

Iv.-xoRE HOUSE sroRIEa
Buck Kilgore told I. remarkable story while
q bill removing the charge Of desertion against
Union soldier was before the House. Mr.
Raines Of Now York had referred to him as
fighting on the losing side in tho late contest
Mr.. Kilgore said that the gentleman intended
to convey the idea that he ought to have been
punished. instead Of being in Congress. but
that tho Government magnanimously re-
moved all OF his disabilities. Tho truth OF the
business was that they could not get along
without the Confederates. He told this story:

Nobody laughed at this story. and everybody
wondered who the Senator was. 1t was
question whether he came from tho Northwest
or the South.
John Allen told two good stories during the
Noyes- Rockwell contest. Here is the first one:

harsh treatment and that they would not even

When told the Judge, tho result his face
blanched and he seemed daZed
"'Good God John he finally replied. we'vc
overdone the thing"
After the laughter had subsidized Allon ap-
piled the story to the Committee on Elections
In the Rockwell case. Later on he told another
story illustrative Of the bribery which resulted
In the Doyle ballots. Here is tho gem:
