| greeted the entrace Of Speaker crisp,
| William L. Wilson and Thomas b. Reed,
| and the floral decorations that were by far
more numerous that at the first session
of this Congress. II anybody thought
| that the gathering to-day would present
| scores of down hearted, crestfailen Demo-
| Gratis, for although large maJ1'lty ol

| those who, in a storm OF strange VIC
| tories are blown into transient auLnorlty,
| Tor upon the desks Of the Democratic con-
| gressmen there were floral tributes as
