Of an orator, but what be does not know
about wire pulling is hardly worth
knowing. In his election 10 Congress
the general realizes the fondest and
most dearly cherished ambition OF his
political career. Tha other Congress
man-at-large from Pennsylvania,
Alexander Mcdowell, is also new
man. The only Office he has pre-
vlously held has been that or Mayor OF
sharon. Howard Mutchler, bright
Young newspaper man OF Easton, sue
ceeds his father, the late William
Mutchler, and Joseph A. Scranton,
after an absence Of two years, will again
sit for the Scranton district. Among
the other new members from Pennsyl-
yania, William II. Hines is well-known
lawyer and labor leader OF Wilkesoarre,
and Thomas w. Phillips is a wealthy oil
operator Of Newcastle. Two OF the six
Democrats returned from Maryland are
new men, but one OF them, J. +. e. Tai
bott. OF TowsOn, served In previous
Congress. The three new men,
bers from Virginia, Gardiner Tyler,
Claude A. Swanson and James w. Mar
shall, are al Democrats and lawyers,
though OF little more than local repute.
Several familiar faces will be missed
from the South Carolina delegation.
George ID. Tllmsn is succeeded by Will
lam j. Talbert, and George w. Muir
raw takes the place OF William Elliott.
Murray is Republican and will be the
only colored man In the Fitty-thlrd
Congress. He was born in slavery, Is
self-educated, and has been for sew
eral years a successful teacher. He is
A bright mu!atto and man OF real
ability. Henry 2. Cheatham, Of the
Second North Carolina district, the only
colored man in the last Congress, will
be missed from the new House. He
failed Of a reelection last year, and his
seat will be filled by Fred A. Woodland,
a white man and a Democrat Cheat
ham made few speeches while men,
Der, but those he did make were mark
ed by eloquence and great good sense.
De was very popular with both Repub-
licans and Democrats. The Fifth North
Carolina district replaces a Democrat
with a epubllcsn-ThOmas Settle, a
well-to-do planter, who for years has
been one OF the leaders Of his party in
the South.
The most notable change in the Geor-
gia delegation is the disappearance OF
Tom Watson, the red-headed and hope
full champion Of the Peoples party, who
Is succeeded by James c. G. Black. The
latter is a leading lawyer OF Augusta,
and II be succeeds 10 stirring up as
MANY first-class rows as did his prede-
ceSsor, be will prove good one. All
OF the FIVE new members from Michigan
are Republicans, but all are men Of
only local repute. OF the ten new menu
bers from Ohio, three are Democrats
and seven Republicans, among the lat
ter being General Charles II. GrOsvenOr,
OF Athens, who has served with dis
tinction 10 previous Congresses, and Is
sure 10 be one Of the leaders OF the mi
nority in the new House. General
GroSvenor has a fine war record snd is a
splendid debater. In the prospective
discussions OF the tariff question be will
prove a foeman worthy OF the steel Of
the Democratic leaders. The four new
members irom Indiana are all Demo-
Gratis and lawyers. Silas Adams sue
ceeds John H. Wilson as member from
the only Republican district Of Ken
lucky, and there are two other new
mem Der from that State. There is but one
change, and that an unimportant one,
In the Tennessee delegation. Jesse f.
Stalliugs, who has had some previous
experience as State legislator, sue
ceeds Secretary Herbert as representa-
tive OF the second Alabama district.
Ehere are three new members from Ar
kAusas, but the delegation, as in the
pan. remains solldly Democratic. The
~ .Hembers from Coorsdo-Lafe
Pen Of Denver, and John G. Eel, Of
