Hon. Anastacio Barela seems to have
struck his gait in the house. He has not
the fault of SO many young speakers, a
florid oratory, but states his points con-
cisely, and is withsl good parliament
tartan. The house being overwhelmingly

see such men as Mr.. Barela taking a
leading part in its councils. He sticks
closely to his first declaration in that
body that he would vote first for the pub
lie good and afterward for politics.
Grant county gets four out of the
twenty-one chairmanships of the house

Grant county, as usual, received
none of the positions either in the coun-
Gil or house while some smaller counties
received a number Of positions.-Silver
