that the present raid for reciprocity
may have for it's chief ends The pro-
mo'ion of himself aud the very

LOO remote for human memory, when
Il Republican from one of the States

e. osen presiding oAj"er OF ,he Other
branch OF ConSres, -chosea for three
successive t. ms 80 that nigh position.
IL was a period Of 3 FIRING adver-

During all that lime. then az now
the ears Of the public were deafeneo
with the Hottest professions of patrr-

general welfare.
But Che real life and action of these
great predatory chie;ta'D s of the floor
end LOBBY did studiously avoid all o.

evea the appearance Of display or
publicity.
The campaign for pelf at cross-pur-
poses with the sooogous political cru

the unobGrusi.e mystery Of haste,
stealth, and silence.
After each successful assault OF the
