Roger O. Mills, Of Texas-had during the Ad

unr,,ly body shown himself the more unwaver
ing and subservient follower of Mr.. Cleveland's
personal and political fortunes. Certainly among
all the "Cuckoos" in Congress no voices were
lifted with greater regularity and Industry than
those OF Mr.. Gray and Mr. Mills to notify TO
an awe-stricken public the mysterious revolu-
lions on the fnce Of the White House clock The
struggle between the two for priority In orncular
authority and personal ingratiation was long

outdid the other In the extravaganza Of his de-
fence Of Mr.. Clevelands policy Of monarchical
restoration. In tariff and financial legislation
both We're completely subservent TO Administra-
ton influence. and not Professor Wilson himself

legislative orders transmitted with unceaslng

The Texas Senator showed, perhaps on the
