opening of the regular session IN De-
cember. Mr.. Tawney deserves to be
rhurch-mauled by his constituency. 1t
is claimed by some that he was not i'll
hearty sympathy with the repeal move
ment; that he has strange longlngs for
the flesh pots of spopulocracy; that ne
wants to run with the Populist fox
while he at the same time rides with the
Republican hounds. At any rate,
Mr.. Tawney is young. He is max
ing a record. He could hardly
afford to leave his name out of the
final roll call on so important question
as that of repeal. He should have
stayed by to the end to let the people
know that he was possessed of convic-
tons. His deSertiOn was equivalent to
the running away of the colonel of
a regiment in the face of the enemy.
He has seriously disappointed his
friends. and should be made to under
stand that to be a member of congress
means something more than drawing a
salary and making the government pay
ones expenses on a junketing tour.
SCHoOLMASTER M'CLEARY.
Mr.. McCleary, of the Second district,
voted right upon the measures when
the question was before the house. But
he too went off to the Worlds Colum-
bian show and mingled the gorgeous
pleasures of the Midway Plaisance with
the sturdy business OF repeal. He, too,
seems to deserve slight reminder that
the repeal of the purchase act of the
Sherman silver bill was matter some
thing more important than mid sum-
mer holiday. Mr.. McCleary, by the
way, is rather catching young man,
with scholastic manners and pedagOgic
peculiaritieS. He gaZeS at one out of his
gOld-Timmed glasses as though he would
be delighted 10 have whack at you

would be good chance to Jaw back"

Dunnell. And then l pause i'll retro
Spection for one brief moment. SO that

Mr.. Dunnell. so far as his personal fort
unes are concerned. He. too, came to
Minnesota as a boss school teacher-a
kind of journeyman eXpositor of exalted
learning, q dry nurse to our frontier
ignorance. He, too, perambulated over
the state teaching the SchOolma'amS
how To teach the multiplication table;
how to instruct the infant proletariat to
parse and reckon interest and divide
and SubdiVide fractions, and SIGH like.
l cannot help wondering if Mack will
duplicate the career of Mark, and by
and by make it red hot for Washburn
or Davis for the senate, the same as
Dunnell did for Windom-and fail again
and again, as Dunnell did.
However, Mack is a good fellow.
albeit somewhat starchy, as a school
master should be. A Southern member
said to me: He don't amount to cuss.
Why. he can't stand one small bottle!"
Then informed the garrulous gentle
man from Dixie that Mr.. McCleary's
constituents did not know the exact
meaning of his phrase lone small
bottle" and, if they did, they would be

HALL EVER FAITHFUL.
Mr.. Hall, of the Third district, has
never missed more than day or two on
deck since the fight on repeal begun.
His speech attracted considerable at
tention, especially among the more cul-
tlvated members of the house. 1t was
scholarly, humorous and entirely
''fetching," so to speak. 1t provoked a
cordial invitation to him to join the DEM
ocratic forces Oil the stump in the Ohio

certainly have complied with if he had
| not considered 1t his duty to his district
| and the country to remain steadfaStiy
| at his post until repeal was assured.
| And right here l want to pay this truth
| full tribute to Hon. o. nj. Hall: He
is as genuinely conscientious in the dis
| charge of his public duties as any man
| in congress. The fact of mis- RESPONSE
| bility to the people is never absent from
| him, and in his own fashion he dis
charges his duties regularly, promptly
| and righteousiy. There has been no
| moment since this contest opened when
| he was not at his post to lend his in
| fluence on the right side. In vote and
speech he has repeatedly announced his
| answering faith i'll sound money and
| correct principles of finance. Mr.. Hall
| is strong man and an honest man to-
| day; but better than this, he has the
| capacity to grow stronger year by year
for the next two decades. He is on his
| second term. The prominent Demo-
cratic leaders are only beginning to
learn that Hall, of Minnesota, has ele-
ments of strength that promise in time
to make him the peer of any of them.
