Grant was confined to few well-chosen
words. The duke knows enough to

speakers were to acquire the same
knowledge and self-control the public
would be spared many tedious hours.

[ observe that the Democratic papers
are beginning to abuse Senator Wash
burn. This is probably in anticipation
OF the elections that are coming on in
about a year. They probably regard
him as a promising candidate of the
Republicans, and think that it is first
necessary to destroy him, before they
can hope to make capital for some one
in their own party. But they will
never be able to explain away the
splendid record which Senator Wash
burn has made in the senate. He has
not only been credit to his party, but
to his State as we'll. Men of Mime
sofa, of what ever party, have reason
to be proud of the junior senator.
