coming successors from these states, but
q few of them are tolerably we'll known
Tho IL now Republicans from Indiana
had a meeting late in December at General
George w. Steele's home in Marion, .;iust
to get acquainted, +" they said, but critics
say 1T was to organize for a Harrison
boom in the coming congress. Hon. Hen.
~ U. johnson, the only Republican hold
over of that state, was invited, but did Not
lind it convenient to attend. Incidentally
1T was agreed that General Steele would
be lender of tho delegation in tho mex.
house, but the friends of Mr.. johnson en-.
terta1n a different opinion, and Judge
Holman says we must look out for MIR
Watson, who defeated him. BY all &C.
counts he is what the boys call Il daisy.

the youngest member of the next house
Is Hon. Charles G. Bennett of BROOKLYN,

Eager For the Fray.
1t Is we'll worth noting that many OF
the newly elected are, as one may say.
savagely eager for Investigations of WI !
rious kinds. Nearly all Of them want to :
investigate tho pension Office, and there f.
are voices in favor of investigating this q.
that alleged abuse in many other places. |
1t Is also an Interesting fact that the now
men dissent forcibly from the statement
given out by tho holdovers that contcs,
ants for seats will not be specially favored
The new men come here with all tho eli
of the young Republicans Of
1866 and 1860, and their general feeling !
seems to be that everything Democratic !
SO desperately bad that only investiga.
ZION is needed to prove it's irredeemahis
badness. If they have their way, it is
likely every contestee will be unseatcd.

Mr.. Murray of South Carolina.
The Chesterfield Of the next house will
be Hon. w. G. Owens, who defeated De
PENDANT breckenridge, but us he is q Dem
ocrat his influence will be nil. Hon. Seth
w. Cobb of Missouri is a
figure, being the only Democrat elected

nearly all of them, might nave done as

The new men are visiting Washington
IN steadily increasing numbers, and eacli
has queer stories to tell of the late cam
paign. Some of them say there were en- j
tire counties in their districts in which,
Democratic meetings were held an;!
low Republican meetings of any consc
quence, and the enormous falling off in
the vote would seem to confirm their Wow
that the people had taken on a hugo dis
gust. The old members tell similar stories
especially in the southwest. Hon. II. Nj
of the Twelfth Texas, who was
defeated by Il Republican, thinks tho wool
growers organized n stay at homo part
and made it a brilliant success. His sue
cessor, Judge Noonan, is a native of New
Jersey and as lawyer and judge has a vc1;f
high character in Texas.
h Louisiana Delegation.
The only change in the Louisiana dele.
CATION was due to the refusal of Hon. Rob.
ert q. Davcy to stand for reelection, and
he is kind enough to say that his success
sor, Hon. Charles F. Buck of New Or
leans, is a better man for the place thai,
himself. Mr.. Buck was born in Germany
In 1859 and brought to New Orleans in
infancy. He became noted quite young
as a sort of prodigy in scholarship and is
by far the best S~hakespearean
In that state il not in the south. CHI,

for orders of every kind, has been grand
master of the Masons for the state and is
official in other orders. He is an old
