wasting a couple OF hours inlS morning
iu a~certatning the presence OF quorum,
which action was rendered necessary by
The refractory congressman. Hon. Thomas
Dunn English. OF New Jersey, resumed
ihc consideration Of the currency bill.
The effect OF the speech Of Representa-
ave Sperry. Of Connecticut on the pend
ing measure. delivered in the House yes
terday afternoon, was plainly visible, even
before he had concluded. HIS declaration,
II am in favor OF the bill looked al
by the light Of his subsequent deep prob

Public Printer but found him absent from
the city.
Congressman Marshall hopes that the
reward of his arduous and continuous
ldoors for a change of postmaster at
Marion rs at least i'm sight. During am
interview with the fOstmaster-Geuerai
mis- morning ne was informed by Mr.
BisseIl that, after "a careful and judicial
examination of the papers i'm the case. DE
had Oneletcnty followed his rccOmmcn-
datious but at the request of the writer's
Of certain confidential letters bearing on
this case the whole matter had been re-
ferred TO the President. He thought,
however that his recommendations would
be followed. and that ass soon as the
President returned Mr. Wright would be
named as postmaster.
This is the last presidential post-ofiice
iu Mr.. Marshdlrs district TO be flled, and
the appointment OF Mr. Wright Will end
the stubbouest fight for retention that
has been made 10y any Republican post
master ln the state.
